     If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or

/x/  (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
     Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N-SAR, or portion thereof, will be filed

                            PART III - NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof,
could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (ATTACH EXTRA SHEETS IF 
NEEDED.)

        On March 26, 1997, XIT Corporation ("XIT") of Ontario, California
merged with a wholly-owned, newly formed subsidiary of the Registrant, with XIT
as the surviving subsidiary (the "Merger"). The Merger has been accounted for
as a purchase of the Registrant by XIT in a "reverse acquisition" because the
existing shareholders of the Registrant prior to the Merger did not have voting
control of the combined entity immediately after the Merger. In a reverse
acquisition, the accounting treatment differs from the legal form of the
transaction, as the continuing legal parent company, the Registrant, is not
assumed to be the acquiror. Rather, the historical financial statements of the
Registrant are those of accounting acquiror (XIT), including any comparative
prior year financial statements presented by the combined entity after the
business combination.

        XIT was a privately-held company prior to the Merger, and, as such, was
not required to file any Exchange Act reports. XIT's fiscal year ended
September 30, 1996, while the Registrants's fiscal year ended December 31,
1996. The Registrant has determined to change the fiscal closing date of XIT to
December 31, 1996, the fiscal year end for the Registrant. The Registrant
determined to change XIT's fiscal year end on May 15, 1997 and reflected such
determination in its Form 10Q for the period ended March 31, 1997, which was
filed on May 20, 1997. The transition report being filed is for the period
October 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996.

        The Registrant's senior management have been and continue to be engaged
in matters relating to the accounting for the Merger. This included the
restatement of XIT's historical financial statements to comply with Regulation
S-X and calculation of pro forma financial information in connection with a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 33-29925) filed on June 24, 1997 and an
8K-A relating to the Merger filed on June 25, 1997. Accordingly, this did not
permit them time to complete preparation of the necessary information for the
subject report.

     (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification

        (2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during preceding 12 months (or for such shorter) period that the
registrant was required to file such reports) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify report(s).       / x / Yes        /   / No

- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        (3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?          / x / Yes        /   / No

        If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate for the results cannot be made.


        The Registrant will report a net loss of approximately $(857,000) on
revenues of $7,886,000 for the 3 months ended December 31, 1996 versus net
earnings of approximately $151,000 on revenues of $6,796,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1995. The increase in revenues is the net result of
$2,200,000 of incremental revenues from operations acquired in 1996, less a
decline in revenues of $1,100,000 for operations included in both periods,
principally in the Registrant's Components Sector. The decline in earnings was
due to a) the acquired operations incurring a net loss of $(109,000) in the
three months ended December 31, 1996, b) the negative effects of the decline in
revenues, excluding the acquired operations, and c) declining margins for the
Registrant's Circuits Sector due to an unfavorable product mix shift.
