Management's Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion of the results of operations and financial
condition should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and related notes under the caption "Financial Statements".
Overview
In July of 1992, the existing management took over the direction of J
A. Industries, Inc. It was the intention of the management to enhance the value
of its shares on behalf of its shareholders by acquiring cash flow entities
which were, firstly, synergistic with existing subsidiaries and secondly were
companies with consistent growth potential.
The first acquisition was Torik, Inc. in September, 1992, which at that
time was just breaking even on its sales of $300,000 per month. Subsequent to
the Torik acquisition, the Company had entered into litigation and lost the case
to the former management of Torik returning all shares back to the Torik
management. The Company was booking that acquisition at the cost of $200 which
has been written off.
The second acquisition of the assets of Pacific Rim Polytech, took place
in February, 1993 by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary J.A. Industries
(Canada) Inc. ("J.A. Canada"). J.A. Canada immediately started the manufacturing
of underground junction boxes and cable tray. In June, 1995 the Company sold
J.A. Canada to a non-affiliate British Columbia Corporation.
The Company also entered into two licensing agreements and
manufacturing agreements for the manufacture and distribution of electronic
ballasts of which both licenses are inactive.
In September of 1993, the Company acquired Hutronix, Inc., of Tucson,
Az ("Hutronix"). Subsequent to the year ended, 1996, the Company returned the
shares of Hutronix to Baboquivari Cattle Company ("BCC") to settle outstanding
liabilities with BCC.
In December of 1993, the Company acquired the assets of Capital City
Plastic ("CCP"). CCP had been inactive since May of 1993. As CCP was unable to
deliver the equipment as detailed in the purchase agreement, the Company
cancelled the purchase agreement.
In May, 1994 the Company signed an option agreement to acquire 100% of
Link Technologies (Canada) Ltd. ("Link"). The Company was to pay $500,000 USD
plus issue 500,000 shares of common stock to acquire 100% of Link. The Company
was also to provide $1,500,000 USD in working capital for Link. Subsequent to
this agreement the option has expired and no further agreement has been reached.
On March 30, 1994 Granite Marketing Corporation. ("Granite"), then a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with
Queensland Industries, Inc. ("Queensland") whereby Queensland purchased from
Granite an exclusive license to manufacture,
-12-
<PAGE>
promote, market, sell and distribute the products of J.A. Canada relating to
polyurethane underground junction boxes. Queensland is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Wincanton, Corporation ("Wincanton"), a publicly traded Washington State
Corporation. Subsequent to this agreement, the Company rescinded the licensing
agreement in exchange for a $50,000 USD payment by Queensland Industries to
Granite. Granite is currently inactive. Subsequent to the year end, Granite was
sold to an unrelated third party in exchange for assumption of Granite's
liabilities.
On June 28, 1995 the Company signed a letter of intent to merge with
privately held MiNT Corporation ("Mint") through a stock for stock exchange. The
share exchange would have resulted in a change of control of J.A. Industries to
the majority shareholders of Mint. Mint is in the business of providing high
quality contract manufacturing of electronic and electromechanical printed
circuit board assemblies. Subsequent to this letter of intent and subsequent to
the year ended June 30, 1995, the shareholders of Mint elected not to proceed
with the acquisition.
Subsequent to the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger") with Kenmar Business Groups, Inc.
("Kenmar") of Raleigh, NC. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, current
shareholders of Kenmar will receive common stock of J.A. Industries such that
Kenmar shareholders will own approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of J.A.
Industries, Inc. on closing. The agreement is subject to shareholder's approval
of both companies as well, J.A. Industries, Inc. must finalized its settlement
agreement with a former stockholder, Karl Ronstadt and Hutronix, Inc. subsequent
to the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company did resolve its outstanding dispute
with Baboquivari Cattle Company as described above (see "Hutronix").
Kenmar Business Groups, Inc. ("Kenmar") founded in 1984, is a provider
of high quality electronic manufacturing services. It is located in the Research
Triangle area of North Carolina. Kenmar has a broad array of technical
capabilities to bring products to the market from concept to final production.
Kenmar's manufacturing team has experience in producing electronic and
electro-mechanical subassemblies and products for use in the telecommunication,
industrial control, computer, medical and instrumentation industries. Kenmar has
both Surface Mount Technology and Pin Thru-Hole capabilities as well as cable,
harnesses and interconnect assembly lines.
Management believes that the trend towards outsourcing in the
electronic manufacturing industry is expanding. To this end, management still
believes that its strategy to acquire synergistic businesses in the contract
manufacturing industry is a sound plan. The planned Merger between the Company
and Kenmar is the first step in trying to re-establish that plan. Upon
completion of the Merger, current management of Kenmar will assume management of
the Company.
Prior to the Merger, the Company must reduce its liabilities and
contingent liabilities to zero and have working capital of a minimum of two
hundred thousand ($200,000) dollars. To
-13-
<PAGE>
this end, the Company has disposed of, settled or is in the process of settling
all outstanding liabilities. The Company has reached agreements and has signed
releases for potential contingent liability claims arising or potentially
arising from several of the Company's former agreements.
The Company intends to fund its capital requirements through a private
placement to meet the terms of the agreement. To date the funds necessary to
complete the Merger are in place and will be released to the Company subject to
Shareholder's approval of the Merger. If Shareholder's approval is not obtained
to complete the Merger, then the funds in escrow would not be released to the
Company.
The Company will continue to focus its expansion plans on the
acquisition of other contract manufacturing operations.
Seasonal factors do not influence the Company's sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Subsequent to the 3 months ended September 30, 1995, Hutronix was
returned to Baboquivari Cattle Company (former shareholder of Hutronix, "BCC")
for release of all liabilities owed by the Company to BCC and BCC's assumption
of all liabilities associated with Hutronix. The Company has no cash flow and
its ability to maintain operations is severely impaired. If the Company cannot
raise additional capital it is unlikely the Company would be able to operate and
it may be forced to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act.
It is the Company's goal in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996 to
find a suitable acquisition candidate. Management anticipated that the Company
will do further equity financing. Management believes that from these sources
the Company will adequately fund the operations of the Company and allow it to
maintain its aggressive acquisition strategy.
To Address the accountant's report of a "going concern" uncertainty, it
is anticipated that the Company will continue to look for new opportunities in
the contract manufacturing area. On March 1, 1996 the Company entered into an
agreement to merge with Kenmar to fulfill the Company's business strategy. As
part of the Merger, the Company must eliminate all outstanding liabilities and
have working capital of $200,000. At the date of this report, the Company has
approximately $133,000 in liabilities it must satisfy to complete the Merger. As
of May 15, 1996 the Company raised the required funds to complete the Merger
through a private placement of its common stock. The funds are in escrow with
the Company's legal counsel and will be released to the Compnay upon
shareholder's approval of the Merger. In the event the Company did not receive
shaeholder's approval, the funds would not be release from escrow and the
Company wold not be able to meet its financial requirements. If the Merger was
not completed, then the Company could be forced to seek protection under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Act.
In the event that the Company does raise the necessary funds to
complete the Merger, and all other conditions of the Merger are satisfied and
the Merger is completed it is anticipated that
-14-
<PAGE>
cash flow from ongoing operations will satisfy the day to day needs of the
Company. Furthermore, as of February 29, 1996, Kenmar had approximately $744,500
in cash or cash equivalents (unaudited). It is anticipated that the merged
company will use these funds to maintain and grow the existing business that it
has. It is also the Company's goal to try and arrange an equity financing in the
amount of $3 million dollars to expand its business. No commitment for such
financing has been arranged and the likelihood of its completion cannot be
guaranteed. In the event the merged company could not raise any additional
capital, it is anticipated that current rates of growth of the merged company
would satisfy its working capital requirements.
Future cash needs of the merged entity would include funds to implement
the Company's acquisition strategy and to sustain the Company through a period
of restructuring and growth.
Notes Payable and Long term debt
Hutronix, Inc. a former subsidiary has a note payable to Bank One

outstanding note payable balance guaranteed by the Company. At June 30, 1995 the
amount outstanding was $576,908. The subsequent agreement between BCC and the
Company calls for BCC and Hutronix to indemnify the Company against any
liability under this bond. As the solvency of Hutronix, Inc. is uncertain, the
ability for Hutronix, Inc. to indemnify the Company is unlikely. On March 4,
1996 the liability under the guarantee to Bank One was satisfied. Furthermore,
on November 21, 1996 an agreement was reached between Baboquivari Cattle
Company, Karl and Marilyn Ronstadt, Hutronix, Inc. and the Company whereby the
parties exchanged mutual releases relieving the Company of any liabilities that
it had or might have in the future with the parties.
On closing of the Merger between Kenmar and the Company, the Company is
obligated to pay a former minority shareholder of Hutronix, Inc. $10,000 and
issue 50,000 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for a release from
all future obligations the minority shareholder may be entitled to. Also, on
closing, the Company is obligated to pay the former landlord of Hutronix, Inc. a
fee for releasing the Company from a Corporate guarantee on the lease of the
building located at 1150 E. Palmdale, Tucson, AZ. The funds for these
transaction are part of the funding needed for the closing of the Merger
agreement. If the funds were not raised or the Merger was not completed, these
liabilities would still be outstanding.
On June 30, 1995 the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, J.A.
Industries (Canada) Inc. to an unrelated third party. The sale relieved the
Company of any long term debt associated with the subsidiary. Furthermore, the
Company obtained releases for all corporate guarantees that it had provided for
the subsidiary subject to certain cash payments as follows. The Company settled
with one creditor by issuing shares of restricted stock in the amount of 136,000
shares to satisfy approximately $34,000 USD of debt. On completion of the Merger
between Kenmar and
-15-

the Company, the Company will incurred a cost of $5,000 USD to settle with one
creditor that comes from a corporate guarantee of the Company. The funds for
settling this amount will come from the funds necessary to close the Merger
transaction. If the funds were not raised and the Merger was not completed, then
this liability would still be outstanding with the creditor.
In March, 1996, the Company came to a final agreement with the former
owners of Capital City Plastics whereby Capital City Plastic and John Szaniszlo
will provide the Company with a release from all liabilities and deliver to the
Company 600,000 shares of common stock issued to Capital City Plastics in
exchange for the Company's release from liabilities, $10,000 and the issuance of
50,000 restricted common stock of the Company. The funds necessary to complete
this transaction are part of the funding needs of the Merger. If the necessary
funds were not raised or the Merger was not completed, the Company's position
would be that there are no liabilities outstanding with Capital City Plastic or
John Szaniszlo as they had breached the original agreement between the parties.
On completion of the Merger, for which there can be no guarantee, the
Company will be assuming the following liabilities based on the Kenmar audited
financial statements for the period ending August 31, 1995 and unaudited
financial statements for the six month period ending February 29, 1996:

Line of Credit: In March, 1994, Kenmar negotiated a $4 million revolving line of
credit with a commercial lender which allowed it to borrow up to 80% of eligible
receivables and was secured by a first lien on all the Company's receivables and
inventory. Borrowing under this line bears interest at prime plus 2.5% (minimum
7.5%) in addition to an annual facility fee and other costs. Kenmar paid off the
line of credit in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ended August 31, 1995.
Kenmar has not requested a renewal of the line of credit.

Results of Operations
The following information is derived from the attached financial
statements and sets forth, for the periods indicated, the relative percentage
that certain income and expense items bear to net sales.
For the 6 month period ended December 31, 1995 compared to the 6 month
period ended December 31, 1994. The auditors report for the period ending June
30, 1995 states that as a result of the discontinuation of operations of the
Company there raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In early March 1995, the Company entered into negotiations with Karl G.
Ronstadt and Baboquivari Cattle Company, former shareholders of Hutronix, Inc.
to settle outstanding issues and potential liabilities. The Company and the
former shareholders could not come to any resolution. On September 23, 1995, the
former shareholder of Hutronix, Inc. exercised his right under a put/call
agreement dated September 23, 1993 and attached to the original purchase
agreement of Hutronix, Inc. dated September 15, 1993. The put option allowed the
former shareholder to put 262,000 shares of the Company to the Company at a
price of $2.25 creating a liability of $589,500. The Company did not have the
resources to pay the liability. On November 21, 1995 the Company entered into an
agreement to reverse the acquisition of Hutronix, Inc. the only remaining
operating subsidiary of the Company to satisfy all outstanding liabilities
between the former shareholder of Hutronix and the Company. The condition that
effected the decision to enter into the agreement to reverse the Hutronix
acquisition occurred prior to the Company's year end. Although the assets and
operations of Hutronix were included in the Company's June 30, 1995 financial
statement, they were subsequently disposed of and it was so reported in the
Company's December 31, 1995 financial statement.

<PAGE>
Subsequent to the period ending December 31, 1995 the Company has
entered into a plan of merger with Kenmar Business Groups Inc. A condition of
the agreement is that the Company is to have no liabilities and working capital
of $200,000. To this end, though the Company has an inactive status, there are
substantial one time charges to eliminate all liabilities and to settle contract
obligations.
On September 23, 1995, Baboquivari Cattle Company exercise its put
option under a put/call agreement dated September 23, 1993. The option obligated
the Company to purchase 262,000 shares of the Company's stock from Baboquivari
at a price of $2.25 creating an unfunded liability of $589,500. Prior to this
period, the auditors of the Company had treated this item as a non-balance sheet
item.
On November 21, 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with
Baboquivari Cattle Company to transfer all title of Hutronix, Inc. to
Baboquivari Cattle Company in exchange for a release of all liabilities. Due to
this disposition of the last operating subsidiary of the Company, the Company
had no revenue for the three month period ending December 31, 1995 compared to
of $1,237,956 for the three month period and $2,417,585 for the six month period
ending December 31, 1994. General and administrative expenses for the period
three month period ended December 31, 1995 were $81,921 compared to the
corresponding three month period in 1994 of $239,877. The Company experienced a
net loss of $83,316 for the three month period ending December 31, 1995 compared
to a loss of $86,107 for the corresponding period in 1994. The net loss from
operations for the six month period ending December 31, 1995 was $745,565
compared to $190,989 for the corresponding period in 1994. The loss in 1995 is
attributed to the reorganization and elimination of ongoing contracts and
liabilities the Company needed to satisfy to proceed with its merger agreement
with Kenmar Business Groups, Inc. The Company had a shareholder's deficit of
$282,683 for the period ended December 31, 1995 compared to net equity of
$595,265 for the corresponding period in 1994. Accounts payable at December 31,
1995 were $138,167 compared to $928,358 for the corresponding period 1994. Due
to the discontinuation of operations, the Company's payables were reduced
dramatically. Most of the expense is attributed to legal and accounting costs
due to the restructuring of the Company. The disposition of Hutronix relieved
the Company of its long term liability with a guarantee on a building in
Douglas, Arizona. Therefore, long term debt was reduce to zero from $561,842 in
the corresponding prior year period.
For the three month period ending March 31, 1996 the Company had no
operations and therefore no revenue compared to sales of $1,035,397 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1995 and sales of $3,452,982 for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1995. General and Administrative expenses for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 were $298,405
-20-
<PAGE>
compared to $262,027 for the corresponding period in 1995. G&A for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996 was $1,043,970 compared to $741,524 for the
corresponding period in 1995. The G&A costs can be attributed to the
restructuring and reorganization the Company experienced from the disposition
and discontinuation of operations and the merger agreement the Company entered
into with Kenmar Business Groups, Inc. The Company had a net loss from
operations of $1,118,561 for nine month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to
$300,884 for the corresponding nine month period in 1995. The Company had a
Shareholder's deficit of $203,695 at March 31, 1996 compared to Net Equity of
$670,141 for the same period 1995. Current liabilities were significantly reduce
due to cessation of operations to $220,276 for the period ended March 31, 1996
compared to Current Liabilities of $964,465 for the corresponding period ended
March 31, 1995.
