NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position at March 31, 1998,
results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997. The results for the period ended March 31, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.
On January 26, 1998, the Company acquired the assets of Gresham Power
Electronics, a division of Gresham Lion Technology Ltd., a European
Corporation. The Company paid US$2.7 million cash plus earn-out and
acquisition costs. The net asset value (NAV) will be determined as
of January 26, 1998 and will be equal to the value of the fixed assets,
accounts receivable, and inventory, less the value of the agreed
liabilities. The cash consideration will be increased by US$1.6284
for each pound that the NAV exceeds UK<POUND-STERLING>1,100,000 and decreased
in the same way. From the transfer date to March 31, 1998, an accounting will
be done and additional consideration shall be paid as follows: (a) US$1.15
for every pound of earnings before interest, taxes, and purchaser group charges
in excess of UK<POUND-STERLING>250,000 up to a maximum payment of US$300,000;
and (b) US$300,000 in the event that the post compensation NAV equals or
exceeds UK<POUND-STERLING>1,000,000. The additional consideration due under
the agreement is currently estimated to be US$354,000. As a result of the
acquisition, the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 1998
are not comparable to the financial statements for the period ended March 31,
1997.
<PAGE8>
The Company has filed a Form 8-K announcing this acquisition, however, the
required audited financial statements and pro forma financial information
has not been filed, and will be filed as soon as practicable.

NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On April 20, 1998, the Company was served with a complaint in the
Superior Court of California in and for the County of Santa Clara
(Case No. CV773108) by KDK Electronics, Inc. ("KDK"). In its
complaint, KDK alleges breach of contract, misappropriation of trade
secrets, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation in connection with,
among other things, the Company's alleged failure to pay KDK royalties
on sales of products that were allegedly derived from KDK's designs,
and for failure to issue 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
based on revenues from those products. KDK's complaint seeks economic
damages of approximately $300,000, punitive and exemplary damages,
injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and costs. The Company has answered
the complaint and intends to vigorously defend itself in the lawsuit.
The litigation is in its initial stages.
On March 17, 1998, a lawsuit was filed by Ignacio Valencia against the
Company in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County (No. CV772665)
alleging deceit and breach of contract. In the complaint, Mr. Valencia
alleges that in 1986, Mr. Valencia moved his family to Guadalajara,
Mexico on reliance that he would become president of Poder Digital S.A.
de C.V. ("Poder"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary and would
receive forty percent of the profits of Poder. Mr. Valencia is claiming
lost wages of $52,000 and lost stock options of $350,000 and punitive
damages. The litigation is in its initial stages, and the Company
intends to vigorously defend itself in the lawsuit.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
With the exception of historical facts stated herein, the matters
discussed in this report are "forward looking" statements that
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from projected results. Such "forward looking"
statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, statements
regarding anticipated levels of future revenues and earnings from
operations of the Company. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially include, in addition to other factors
identified in this report, a high degree of customer concentration,
dependence on the computer and other electronic equipment industry,
competition in the power supply industry, dependence on the
Guadalajara, Mexico facility, and other risks factors detailed in
the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings
including the risk factors set forth in Company's Registration
Statement on Form SB-2, SEC File No. 333-14199 and "Certain
Consideration" section in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year
<PAGE10>
ended December 31, 1997. Readers of this report are cautioned not
to put undue reliance on "forward looking" statements which are, by
their nature, uncertain as reliable indicators of future
performance. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to
publicly update these "forward looking" statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998, COMPARED TO MARCH 31, 1997.
REVENUES
Revenues increased by 33% to $5,055,331 for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1998, from $3,799,154 for the first quarter ended March
31, 1997. This increase in sales can be attributed to the
acquisition on January 26, 1998, of Gresham Power in the United
Kingdom which contributed $1,799,867 to the Company's revenues of
the first quarter ended March 31, 1998. The electronics industry is
experiencing some softness and demand for the Company's products will
be adversely affected through at least the Company's second quarter.
GROSS MARGINS
Gross margins were 30.0% for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998,
compared to 26.3% for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997. The
improvement in gross margins can primarily be attributed to greater
capacity utilization and increased sales of higher wattage supplies
which generated higher gross margins.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.9% of revenues
for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared to 9.1% for the
first quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the
increased legal and accounting expenses required by public companies
for financial and regulatory reporting.
ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Engineering and product development expenses increased by $63,650 for
the first quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared to the first quarter
ended March 31, 1997. This increase in expenses was due primarily
to engineering staff additions and increased consulting fees for
advanced development effort.
<PAGE11>
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $45,354 for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared to $4,573 for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in interest was due to
increased borrowings on the bank line of credit for partial financing
of the Gresham Power acquisition.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES
Income before income taxes increased by $110,690 from $439,985 for
the first quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $550,675 for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1998. This increase can be attributed to
the improvement in gross margins, which more than offset the increases
in the Company's operating expenses.
INCOME TAX
Provision for income tax increased from $205,352 in the first
quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $256,242 for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1998. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, taxes
were provided at an effective rate of 41% for income earned in the
United States and 24% for income earned in the United Kingdom.
NET INCOME
Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998, was $294,433
compared to $234,633 for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997, an
increase of 25%. The increase in net income was due to increased
revenues and improved gross margins which more than offset increases
in operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$287,067 and working capital of $5,903,152. This compares with cash
and cash equivalents of $1,415,671 and working capital of $5,011,466
at March 31, 1997. The increase in working capital is primarily due
to an increase in receivables and inventory, offset by an increase in
accounts payable and bank line of credit borrowings resulting in a decrease
in cash and cash equivalents. Cash used by operating activities for
the Company totaled $527,366 and $531,597 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Cash used in investing
activities consisted of expenditures for the acquisition of Gresham
Power in the United Kingdom and expenditures for the purchase of production
and testing equipment. Such expenditures increased to $2,974,501
<PAGE12>
during the three months ended March 31, 1998, from $156,503 during
the prior year period. During the three months ended March 31,
1998, cash provided by financing activities included net increase in
borrowings of $1,473,506 plus proceeds from the sale of warrants of $31,000.
The increase in the borrowings came from the Company's amended line of
credit and was used to pay part of the purchase price of the acquisition
of Gresham. The line of credit allows for borrowings up to a maximum
of $3,000,000, requires monthly interest payments at the bank's prime
rate and expires June 15, 1998. During the three months ended March 31,
1997, cash used in financing activities included net reduction in borrowings
of $1,356,456 offset by proceeds of $507,128 from the sale of common stock,
warrants and the exercise of stock options. During the three months ended
March 31, 1997, the Company's line of credit and bank loans were paid in
full.
The Company will be required to pay additional consideration related to the
Gresham acquisition currently estimated to be $354,000. The Company has
placed $600,000 in an escrow account to pay for the additional consideration.
As of March 31, 1998, the $600,000 was included in restricted cash.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's, or its suppliers' and customers' computer programs that have
date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failures or mis-
calcuations causing disruptions of operations including, among other things,
a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in
similar normal business activities.
The Company has recently acquired new software and has been informed by
its suppliers that such software used by the Company is Year 2000 compliant.
The software from these suppliers is used in major areas of the Company's
operations such as for financial, sales, warehousing and administrative
purposes. The Company has no internally generated software. In
connection with the acquisition of Gresham Power, the Company has determined
that Gresham Power's existing software will not be Year 2000 compliant,
and intends to acquire new software to address the Year 2000 Issue. Other
than Gresham Power, and after reasonable investigation, the Company has not
yet identified any other Year 2000 problem but will continue to monitor the
issue. However, there can be no assurances that the Year 2000 problem
will not occur with respect to the Company's computer systems.
<PAGE13>
Neither the Company nor its subsidiary has initiated formal communications
with significant suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to
which those third parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000 Issues
would materially effect the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company
has not received any indication from its suppliers and large customers
that the Year 2000 Issue may materially effect their ability to conduct
business and the Company has no current plans to formally undertake such
an assessment.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
On April 20, 1998, the Company was served with a complaint in the
Superior Court of California in and for the County of Santa Clara
(Case No. CV773108) by KDK Electronics, Inc. ("KDK"). In its
complaint, KDK alleges breach of contract, misappropriation of trade
