NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
Effective April 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
substantially all assets and assumed certain liabilities and the operations of
InCirT Technology, a division of the Cerplex Group, Inc. for $5.3 million
comprised of $3.5 million in cash and 333,407 shares of common stock. In
addition, the Company will deliver to Cerplex .09261 shares of its common stock
for every dollar of past due over 90 days accounts receivable of InCirt
Technology collected by the Company during the first 180 days after the date of
the acquisition closing up to a maximum of 55,568 shares of common stock. This
transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
results of operations of the acquired business have been included in the
financial statements since the effective date of the acquisition.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of Overland
Communication, Inc. d.b.a. MOTO-SAT by assuming that company's debt and offering
future stock distributions contingent upon achievement of performance
milestones. MOTO-SAT is a manufacturer of high-end satellite television systems
for recreational vehicles. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting; accordingly the purchased assets and liabilities have been
recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The results of
operations of the acquired business have been included in the financial
statements since the effective date of the acquisition.
Effective March 24, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all assets and
assumed certain liabilities and the operations of Quintec Interconnect Systems
(QIS) of San Jose, California (San Jose Division) for $2,107,457 including
acquisition costs of $107,457. This transaction was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting; accordingly the purchased assets and liabilities
were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.
However, effective November 1, 1996, the Company sold all of the net assets used
by the San Jose Division ("Division") to Touche Electronics, Inc. ("Touche"), a
subsidary of TMCI Electronics, Inc. ("TMCI"). The sales price for the net assets
of the Division was $3,300,000; consisting of $2,000,000 in cash, $900,000 in
promissory notes, and 53,669 shares of TMCI common stock with an agreed upon
guaranteed value of $400,000. In addition, Pen has the rights to receive
$700,000 in contingent earnouts for a potential total sale price of $4,000,000.
Pen originally purchased the Division in March 1995 for approximately
$2,100,000. As part of the transaction, Touche and TMCI also assumed certain
liabilities associated with the operations of the Division.
(Continued)

PEN INTERCONNECT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS - CONTINUED
The $900,000 in promissory notes are comprised of two promissory notes in the
amounts of $400,000 and $500,000, respectively. The $400,000 promissory note
bears interest at one-half of one percent above the prime rate and is to be
fully amortized and paid monthly over a 24 month period. The $500,000 promissory
note bears interest at the rate of one-half of one percent above the prime rate,
is amortized over a 48 month period and is payable monthly with the entire
balance coming due on October 31, 1999. As of March 31, 1997 no payments have
been made under the terms of these notes. See Part II item 1.
In addition, Pen has the right to receive up to $700,000 of contingent earnouts.
These contingent earnouts are described as follows:
1. Accounts Receivable Over 120 Days. Pen is entitled to receive .13417 shares
of TMCI common stock for every $1 of past due over 120 days accounts
receivable of the Division as of October 31, 1996 collected within 180 days
of the closing date, up to a maximum of 13,417 shares of stock or $100,000.
2. Division Earnings. Pen has the right to receive up to 80,503 shares of TMCI
common shares or cash equivalent at the option of TMCI contingent upon the
earnings of the Division. To the extent the earnings of the Division,
determined before interest, income taxes and corporate overhead
allocations, exceed $800,000 in any one year, Pen shall be entitled to
receive such excess on a dollar for dollar basis in the form of TMCI common
shares valued at $7.4532 per share until Pen has received up to $600,000 in
the aggregate worth of TMCI common stock or 80,503 shares or cash
equivalent at the option of TMCI. Pen has the right to earn these shares
during the calendar years 1997 through 2000. Based on the historical
earnings if the transaction had occurred in March 1995 (the date the
Division was purchased) the earnout amount would have been approximately
$600,000 at June 30, 1996. However, the actual earnout amount may vary
based on future earnings of the Division and the timing of such earnings.
The net assets sold by the Company include all of the assets used by the
Division in its operations including, but not limited to, inventory, accounts
receivable, furniture, fixtures and equipment, customer lists, intellectual
property and the assumption of accounts payable and other liabilities.
The sales price for the Division was determined on the basis of arms-length
negotiations between the Company, Touche and TMCI and was based in a large part
on the earnings and net assets of the Division. There was no material
relationship between the Company and TMCI prior to the acquisition however, the
Company leased space and sold product to Touche in the normal course of
business.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE C - CREDIT FACILITY
On April 8, 1996, the Company completed a new 3 year financing agreement with a
bank for a $6 million revolving line of credit with interest at one-half (.5)
percent over the prime rate. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts
receivable, inventory, property and equipment. This agreement requires that the
Company maintain certain financial ratios and meet specified minimum levels of
total assets, earnings and restrictions on the payments of dividends. Because
the Company did not comply with certain of these requirements, the bank
exercised its right to increase the interest rate to 2.5% over prime (10.75% at
March 31 1997, and September 30, 1996) until such time as these requirements are
met. This new line of credit replaced the previous $3,000,000 revolving line of
credit. The Company has borrowed $3,513,943 and $4,969,864 under the new line of
credit at March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively (the Company still
has $2,486,057 available under the line at March 31, 1997). As a result of the
Company's failure to meet these requirements the Company was in default under
the loan agreement. The lender has waived these defaults as of September 30,
1996.
NOTE D - BRIDGE LOAN
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, certain investors, in connection with a
private placement, loaned the Company $700,000. The loan was secured by the
income tax refund and a the TMCI stock received by the Company associated with
the sale of the San Jose Division and bears interest at 8% per annum. The loans
are due and payable in a 180 days from the date issued.
NOTE E - STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Initial public offering
On November 17, 1995, the Company successfully completed an initial public
offering of 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock and warrants to purchase
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The initial public offering price was $6.00
per share of Common Stock and $0.10 per Warrant. Each Warrant was immediately
exercisable and entitled the registered holder to purchase one share of Common
Stock at a price of $6.50 and expires on November 17, 2000. The outstanding
Warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon 30 days' written notice at $0.05
per Warrant, provided that the closing bid quotations of the Common Stock have
averaged at least $9.00 per share for a period of any 20 trading days ending on
the third day prior to the day on which the Company gives notice.

NOTE E - STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Initial public offering - Continued
In connection with the offering, the Company granted the underwriter the right
to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 warrants. The
underwriter was also granted an over-allotment option of 150,000 shares of
common stock and/or warrants to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of common
stock. In December 1995, the underwriter exercised its option and purchased the
150,000 warrants. The option to purchase the 150,000 shares of common stock has
expired.
Shares issued in Acquisition
As discussed in Note A, the Company issued 333,407 shares of common stock in
connection with an acquisition in May 1996. In addition, the Company agreed to
issue an additional 55,568 shares of common stock ("Contingent Stock") to The
Cerplex Group, Inc. based on collections of amounts over 90 days in the accounts
receivable. The Contingent shares were not included in the weighted average
shares outstanding as they were not issued at March 31, 1997 and would not
materially change the earnings per share calculation.

Results of Operations
Effective April 1, 1996, the Company acquired the net assets InCirT Technology
(InCirT), which has been accounted for as a purchase. The statement of earnings
data for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 includes the results of
operations for this division.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired the net assets of MOTO-SAT which
has been accounted for as a purchase. The statement of earnings data for the
three and six months ended March 31, 1997 includes the results of operations for
this division.
Effective March 24, 1995, The Company acquired the net assets of QIS which has
been accounted for as a purchase. This division was sold on November 1, 1996
(see Note A - to Financial Statements). Therefore, the statement of earnings
data include the results of operations for only one month in the six months
ended March 31, 1997 and for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996.
Net sales. Net sales for the Company increased approximately 1% and 7% for the
three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same periods
in the prior year respectively. These increases principally resulted from the
inclusion of the recent acquisitions of the InCirT Division and the MOTO-SAT
Division which were offset by the loss of revenue from the sold division. There
have been no material increases in prices of any of the Company's products
between the periods and the Company anticipates that prices will remain subject
to competitive pressures in the foreseeable future which may prohibit a
significant price increase.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales have decreased to
approximately 81% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to 84%
for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales as a percentage of net
sales have increased slightly to approximately to 82%, for the six month period
ended March 31, 1997, as compared to 81% for the same period in the prior year.
This slight decrease in costs for the current quarter resulted primarily from
improved cost controls.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses in total as a percent of net sales have
increased to approximately 14% and 13% for the three and six month periods in
1997, respectively as compared to approximately 12% in both the prior year
periods. These increases resulted from, the Company adding research and
development costs with its recent acquisitions and an increase in depreciation
and amortization due to machinery and equipment purchases and the recording of
goodwill.
16
Other income and expenses. Other income and expenses (not including the gain on
the sale of the San Jose Division) have remained constant at approximately 1.6%
and 2.2% for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997, compared to
approximately 1.6% and 2% for the same periods in the prior year. The Company
also sold its San Jose Division as of November 1, 1996 which resulted in a
current gain of approximately $612,000. This Division was profitable in the
prior year but was not producing to the same level of sales and profits in the
current year.
Net earnings and earnings per share. Net earnings for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 totaled $101,987 or $0.03 per share, compared with $71,684 or
$0.03 per share for the same quarter in the prior year. For the six months ended
March 31, 1997 net earnings totaled $531,419 or $0.18 per share compared with
$251,980 or $0.10 per share for the same period in the prior year. This
significant increase in the six month period resulted from a gain on the sale of
a division of approximately $367,000 (after tax) or $0.12 per share and income
from operations of approximately $164,000 or $0.06 per share. These current per
share amounts occurred despite increasing the weighted shares outstanding by
more than 638,900 shares in the current six month period compared to the same
period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has historically financed its operations through operating cash flow
and lines of credit. However, on November 17, 1995, the Company completed an
initial public offering which produced net proceeds of approximately $4.8
million. This offering significantly increased the cash and equity balances. It
also allowed the Company to retire the $1,600,000 debt associated with the QIS
acquisition, and to purchase additional inventory and equipment to support the
increased production levels.
Working capital was approximately $3.1 million at March 31, 1997 compared to
approximately $3.2 million despite the sale of the San Jose Division in November
of 1996. The current ratio has remained consistant at about 1.4 to 1 at March
31, 1997 and at September 30, 1996.
Management believes that additional working capital may be required to meet its
future operating costs, for business expansion opportunities and to adequately
support its China strategic manufacturing alliance in addition to its existing
cash balances, borrowings available under the line of credit, and cash generated
from operations. However, there can be no assurance that such additional
financing, if required, would be available on favorable terms if at all.
17
Inflation and Seasonality
The Company does not believe that it is significantly impacted by inflation.
Historically, the industry sales tend to decline in January, February, July and
August when activity in the personal computer industry as a whole is reduced.

Division's inventory, (2) the Division's vendors have refused to deal
with Touche and TMCI, and (3) the Company failed to disclose certain
accounts payable. The Company is vigorously contesting those
allegations in the arbitration.
