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. PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification Barry E. Reifler (909) 391-4321 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name) (Area code) (Telephone number) 2 3 (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.
