ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION  OR  DISPOSITION  OF  ASSETS

     On  July  2,  2003,  we  completed  the  acquisition  of  certain assets of
Americable,  Inc.  ("Americable").  Pursuant  to the terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement  dated  June  26,  2003,  APA  Acquisition,  Inc.,  our  wholly-owned
subsidiary  acquired  certain  assets and assumed certain related liabilities of
Americable.  The  total  purchase  price consisted of $2,050,000 in cash paid at
closing.  The  funds  for  the  cash  payment  came  from  our  cash  on  hand.
The  acquired  assets  consist  of  accounts  receivable,  equipment, inventory,
contracts, and goodwill used in the production of standard and custom copper and
fiber  optic  cable  assemblies  for  service  providers  and original equipment
manufacturers.  We  intend to use these assets in the same type of business.  We
have  arrangements  for  use of certain Americable facilities and personnel on a
temporary  basis  for  a  transition  period  which  we estimate will last three
months.  In  addition, we offered employment to 49 employees who were terminated
by  Americable.  The  overall  workforce  was reduced approximately 34% from the
aggregate  before  the  acquisition.

ITEM  7.  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  AND  EXHIBITS

     We  have  included  as  exhibits  to  this report on Form 8-K the principal
acquisition  documents.

     The  most  recent audited historical financial statements of Americable and
pro  forma  financial statements which show the effect of the acquisition on our
financial condition and results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred
at  the  beginning  of  our  most  recent completed fiscal year will be filed by
amendment  to  this  report  on Form 8-K not later than 60 days from the date of
this  report.
