NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS
Laminating Technologies Inc.
On December 23, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge
with Laminating Technologies Inc. (LTI). On April 2, 1999 the Company and
LTI mutually terminated this definitive agreement to merge.
Cables To Go Inc.
Effectively January 31, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the
assets and certain liabilities of its Cable Division to Cables To Go,
Inc. (CTG). Net assets of $2,732,059 were sold for $1,075,000 in cash and
a royalty payment contingent upon the future revenues of the Cable
Division. $150,000 of the royalty payment was guaranteed and has been
recorded by the Company as a note receivable from CTG. CTG agreed to use
and compensate the Company for an additional $558,747 of the net assets
contingent upon certain of its future operating needs. The company
originally recorded a loss of $948,312 upon disposition of the Cable
Division but has adjusted, as of September 30, 1999, the loss to
$1,507,059 based on its present determination that CTG will not use nor
compensate the Company for the additional net assets.
Mobile Technology Inc.
On February 1, 1999 the Company signed a letter of intent with Mobile
Technology Inc. (MTI) to sell all assets and liabilities of the MotoSat
division. MTI's principal owner is James Pendleton, a former Chairman and
CEO of the Company. Effective September 30, 1999, the Company sold
substantially all the assets and liabilities of its MOTO-SAT Division to
James Pendleton. The net assets of $68,438 were sold in exchange for Mr.
Pendleton's agreement to waive any claim to post-employment, deferred
compensation or retirement benefits. The Company recognized a loss of
$68,438 upon disposition of the MOTO-SAT Division.
PowerStream Division
On January 21st, 2000 the Company sold its Powerstream Division to Lund
Instrument Engineering of Orem, UT., which purchased certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of PowerStream Division. Lund remitted
$74,324 to the Company as a partial payment for the acquisition. The
Company is to receive for three years royalties of a) sixteen (16%)
percent of the gross profits generated from sales generated from a
contract with L3 Communications, less any customer advances and b) eight
(8%) percent of gross profits on all other sales contracts in place at
closing. The Company recognized a gain of $186,643 on the sale, not
including any possible future royalty payments.
9
Pen Corporate and InCirT Division
The Company had been operating under a default notice with its
asset-based lender, Finova Capital, since September 1999, when the
Company began seeking buyers for its two remaining divisions PowerStream
and InCirT. In February a Letter of Intent to sell the InCirT division to
another contract manufacturer was terminated. The Company solicited a
competitor to purchase most of the assets and to negotiate a supplier
agreement with the Company's largest account as part of a voluntary
foreclosure of all the remaining assets of the Company, for which Finova
had a perfected security interest. The Company's March 31, 2000 balance
sheet reflects the transfer of all collateral assets to Finova to which
the Company has recognized an offset of the bank's line of credit balance
and term loans owed by the Company. As required by FASB Statement 15, the
Company estimated a loss on transfer of assets of $(900,008). This
estimate may change and is dependent upon the liquidation value achieved
in the disposition of the assets transferred to the lender.
NOTE B - INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following:

NOTE C - BRIDGE LOANS
During the 1st quarter of FY 1999, the Company secured two bridge loans
both of which were to be repaid with funds to be received from the merger
with LTI. The term of each loan was 90 days and carried an interest rate
of 8 percent. One bridge loan was secured in November for $500,000 and
the other in December for $400,000. Both bridge loans were subsequently
repaid from proceeds received from the issuance of preferred stock. (See
Note F).
Note D - CREDIT FACILITY
On March 3, 2000 the Company and its secured asset based lender, Finova
Capital, entered into a voluntary foreclosure in which all collateral
secured under Finova's perfected security interest was transferred to
Finova to satisfy the revolving credit and term loans held by the bank.
As of March 31, 2000 the outstanding line of credit and term loans
amounted to $3,934,432. Finova has sold some of the assets to ADTI, a
subsidiary of Comtel Holdings for promissory notes, which will be paid
down according to usage of inventory and periodic payments for equipment.
The Company's loan will be reduced by the payments made by ADTI as well
as collections of other accounts receivable and sales of other inventory
to third parties. The Company's March 31, 2000 balance sheet reflects the
transfer of all collateral assets to Finova to which the Company has
recognized an offset of the bank's line of credit balance and term loans
owed by the Company. In accordance with FASB 15, the Company recognized a
loss on transfer of assets of $(900,008).
10
NOTE E - OPTIONS/WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
During the first quarter of FY 1999 the Company issued warrants to
purchase 490,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The following
table outlines the features of these warrants:
Number of Exercise Expiration
warrants Price date
---------------- ------------- -------------------
150,000 $1.000 October 2002
125,000 $0.875 October 2002
215,000 $0.875 November 2001
During the second quarter of FY 1999, the Company issued warrants to
purchase 160,000 shares of common stock in conjunction with the issuing
of Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the conversion of the warrants
to shares of common stock are discussed in Note F.
In March 2000 the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 430,000
five-year options shares to key employees at an exercise price of $.30
per share - the market price at the time of issuance. Additionally, the
Board approved 492,500 option shares previously issued to Mr. Stephen J.
Fryer and 105,000 option shares previously issued to Mr. Mehrdad
Mobasseri become fully vested and re-priced to market price of $.30 per
common share.
In March 2000 the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 100,000
warrants be issued to each of the members of the Board at an exercise
price of $.30 per common share.
Options representing 275,000 common shares were exercised in December
1999 at a price of $.134 per share. The option shares were originally
priced at $.30 per share. Proceeds ($36,850) were utilized for corporate
operations.
During the second quarter of FY2000, certain options were re-priced by
the Company. Options representing 1,876,668 common shares were exercised
at a weighted average exercise price of $.097 per share, which generated
$182,866 in proceeds. The Company recognized $294,171 in compensation
expense as a result of the options being exercised below market price.
During the second quarter of FY 2000, the Company re-priced certain
warrants as an inducement to exercise the warrants. Warrants representing
965,000 common shares were exercised at an average weighted exercise
price of $.125 per share.
In light of the financial condition of the Company and the Company's bank
unwillingness to continue funding operations, the exercise of the
warrants and options was completed with the proviso that the funds be
escrowed and that the use of funds be limited to keeping the Company's
administrative operations in tact while the Company found an qualified
acquisition for its previously announced new business strategy. The
Company has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire
perFORMplace.com, an Internet based entertainment industry application
service provider. Remaining escrowed funds will be utilized for ongoing
administrative expenses and professional fees in conjunction with the
acquisition and required public filings.

Note F - Preferred Stock
The Company issued two series of Preferred Stock. Series A was issued in
February 1999 consisting of 1,800 shares, par value $0.01 per share, for
$1,000 per share. Series B was issued in April 1999 at the same price but
only 1,000 shares were issued. As mentioned in Note C, part of the funds
raised from the issuance of this stock were used to repay the bridge
loans made earlier in the fiscal year. After repayment of the bridge
loans and paying $238,500 in fees and expenses, the net cash raised by
the Company for operations was $1,665,500. Both series of Preferred Stock
carry a 16 percent dividend rate, which is paid quarterly.
Both issuances of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is
convertible into an amount of shares of Pen Common Stock equal to $1,000
divided by the average of the two lowest closing bid prices for Pen
Common Stock during the period of 22 consecutive trading days ending with
the last trading day before the date of conversion, after discounting
that market price by 15 percent (the "Conversion Price"). During the
first six months the Board of Directors approved a reduction of the
maximum Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock to $.53 from $1.17 and $.79 per share respectively. The
reduction was granted to obtain a waiver in relation to the sale of a
major asset - InCirT Technologies Division. The shares of Series B
Preferred Stock are convertible into Common Stock at the same Conversion
Price as the Series A Preferred Stock. Warrants to acquire 335,453 shares
of Common Stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.86 to $1.434 per
share were also issued to the purchasers of the Series A and Series B
Preferred Stock. The warrants expire three years from date the Preferred
Stock and warrants were initially issued.
During the quarter Series A preferred shareholders converted 1491
preferred shares into 7,848,661 common shares.
Note G - Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net
earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings
per common share are similarly calculated, except that the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding includes common shares that
may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential.
Outstanding options and warrants are not included in the calculation in
the loss periods because to do so would be anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2000, net loss attributable
to common shareholders includes a non-cash imputed dividend to the
preferred shareholders related to the beneficial conversion feature on
the 1999 Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and related warrants. (See
Note F). The beneficial conversion feature is computed as the difference
between the market value of the common stock into which the Series A and
Series B Preferred Stock can be converted and the value assigned to the
Series A and Series B Preferred Stock in the private placement. The
imputed dividend is a one-time non-cash charge against the loss per
common share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This report contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, the Company may from time to
time make oral forward-looking statements. Actual results are uncertain and may
be impacted by the following factors. In particular, certain risks and
uncertainties that may impact the accuracy of the forward-looking statements
with respect to revenues, expenses and operating results include without
limitation, cycles of customer orders, general economic and competitive
conditions and changing consumer trends, technological advances and the number
and timing of new product introductions, shipments of products and components
from foreign suppliers, and changes in the mix of products ordered by customers.
As a result, the actual results may differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements.
Because of these, other factors and the fact that the Company's only two
remaining divisions have been sold or liquidated that may affect the Company's
operating results, past financial performance should not be considered an
indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends
to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
The following discussion and analysis provides certain information which the
Company's management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of
the Company's results of operations and financial condition for the three and
six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and notes
thereto included in the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended September 30, 1999.

Sale of Powerstream Division
On January 21st, 2000 the Company sold its Powerstream Division to Lund
Instrument Engineering of Orem, UT., which purchased certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of PowerStream Division. Lund remitted $74,324 to the
Company as a partial payment for the acquisition. The Company is to receive for
three years royalties of a) sixteen (16%) percent of the gross profits generated
from sales generated from a contract with L3 Communications, less any customer
advances and b) eight (8%) percent of gross profits on all other sales contracts
in place at closing. The Company recognized a gain of $186,643 on the sale, not
including any possible future royalty payments.
Voluntary Foreclosure and Sale of Certain Assets
On March 3, 2000 the Company and its secured asset based lender, Finova Capital,
entered into a voluntary foreclosure in which all collateral secured under
Finova's perfected security interest was transferred to Finova to satisfy the
revolving credit and term loans held by the bank. As of March 31, 2000 the
outstanding line of credit and term loans amounted to $3,934,432. Finova has
sold some of the assets to ADTI, a subsidiary of Comtel Holdings for promissory
notes, which will be paid down according to usage of inventory and periodic
payments for equipment. The Company's loan will be reduced by the payments made
by ADTI as well as collections of other accounts receivable and sales of other
inventory to third parties. The Company's March 31, 2000 balance sheet reflects
the transfer of all collateral assets to Finova to which the Company has
recognized an offset of the bank's line of credit balance and term loans owed by
the Company. In accordance with FASB 15, the Company estimated a loss on
transfer of assets of $(900,008); the loss reflects the difference between book
value and estimated fair market value.
Results of Operations
Net sales. With the sale of Powerstream Division and the voluntary foreclosure
and sale of assets of InCirT Division during the quarter, which represent the
only operating units of the Company, and the fact that each is accounted for in
the financial statements as discontinued operations and that each division's
operations did not occupy a full quarter of activity, a comparative analysis
against prior same quarter and prior same six months periods is inappropriate.
Cost of sales. With the sale of Powerstream Division and the voluntary
foreclosure and sale of assets of InCirT Division during the quarter, which
represent the only operating units of the Company, and the fact that each is
accounted for in the financial statements as discontinued operations and that
each division's operations did not occupy a full quarter of activity, a
comparative analysis against prior same quarter and prior same six months
periods is inappropriate.
Operating expenses. With the sale of Powerstream Division and the voluntary
foreclosure and sale of assets of InCirT Division during the quarter, which
represent the only operating units of the Company, and the fact that each is
accounted for in the financial statements as discontinued operations and that
each division's operations did not occupy a full quarter of activity, a
comparative analysis against prior same quarter and prior same six months
periods is inappropriate.
15
Other income and expenses. Other expenses decreased by $141,735 or 40% for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. These expenses also decreased $244,136 or 39% for the first six months of
fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The reductions
were the result of lower line of credit borrowings and lower securities offering
costs and conversions.
Net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share. Net loss for the second
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2000 totaled ($1,687,942) or ($0.12) per basic
share, compared with a loss of ($2,878,737) or ($0.46) per basic share for the
second quarter of fiscal year 1999. The change in the loss per basic share of
($0.34) is mostly comprised of a reduction of operating losses of $.12 per share
and approximately $0.19 per share decrease as a result of a 115% increase in the
number of shares outstanding. The loss for the first six months of fiscal year
2000 of ($2,330,172) or ($0.20) per basic share was ($0.50) per share less than
that of the first six months of the prior fiscal year. The change in loss per
basic share for this period was mostly comprised of a reduction in operating
losses of $0.16 per share and approximately $0.30 per share decrease as a result
of a 96% increase in the number of shares outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first three months of FY 2000 the Company sustained losses of
$530,227. Management has taken steps to correct this trend by selling the
PowerStream division during the second quarter of FY 2000, which incurred an
operating loss of approximately $215,000 during the first quarter.
The Company has previously announced its intention to seek a buyer for the
InCirT Division, which incurred an operating loss of approximately $119,000
during the first quarter of FY2000. As of the end of February 2000 the Company
had decided that the sale of InCirT Division at book value or better was not
likely before Finova Capital foreclosed on the Company's assets. The Company and
Finova negotiated the sale of certain InCirT Division's assets to ADTI, a
subsidiary of Comtel Holdings under a prearranged, voluntary foreclosure and
resale transaction on March 2, 2000.
As a result of the Company's lender restricting loan advances during the quarter
and foreclosure on March 2, 2000, the Company raised additional capital during
the quarter from the exercise of warrants ($120,625) and options ($182,867). In
light of the financial condition of the Company and the Company's bank
unwillingness to continue funding operations, the exercise of the warrants and
options required the funds be escrowed and that the use of funds be limited to
keeping the Company's administrative operations in tact while the Company found
an qualified acquisition for its new business strategy. The Company has signed a
non-binding letter of intent to acquire perFORMplace.com, an Internet based
entertainment industry application service provider. Remaining escrowed funds
will be utilized for ongoing administrative expenses and professional fees in
conjunction with the acquisition and required public filings.
16
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued
The Company's management estimates that approximately $2 million may have to be
raised to support post acquisition activity of perFORMplace.com until the
acquisition reaches a positive cash flow estimated to be during FY 2001by
perFORMplace.com's management. This does not include any payments to trade
creditors of the former operations of the Company. The Company has an offer to
such creditors to replace approximately $3 million in trade debt with 1 million
restricted common shares. As of this date of filing this Form 10QSB, complete
responses to the offer have not been received.
Inflation and Seasonality
The Company does not believe that its discontinued operations were significantly
impacted by inflation or seasonality. It does not believe that the operating
performance of its announced acquisition in process of perFORMplace.com will be
significantly impacted by inflation or seasonality.
