===========================
The revolving credit agreement provides for maximum borrowings of eighty
percent (80%) of eligible defined accounts receivable. The maximum
amount, including any amounts outstanding under the term loan, is
$2,000,000. See Item 5, Part II of this document for discussion of
changes in the lending agreement with the Company's asset based lender.
Note 4. At March 31, 1997, the Company had 1,276,938 stock subscription warrants
and 410,000 stock options outstanding. The stock subscription warrants
are exercisable at various prices ranging from $0.25 to $1.00 per share.
The exercise period for the warrants ranges from June 1, 1996, through
June 1, 2006. The stock options were issued under an approved stock
option plan at market prices at the time of issue. At March 31, 1997, no
warrants and no options were determined to be common stock equivalents
because the average market price for the first quarter of 1997 was lower
than the exercise price of the warrants and options.
Note 5. The Company owns a 20% interest in Retrofit, Ltd. ("Retrofit"), of
Trinidad, West Indies. Retrofit began manufacturing LED sub-assemblies
for the Company's Astralite business unit in 1996. The Company's entire
investment consisted of a license of its patented LED retrofit
technology. This investment is carried at no value. The majority
interest in Retrofit is owned by a related party.
Page 8
Note 6. Earnings per Share - Fully diluted earnings per share for the first
quarter of 1997 were not calculated since the results would have been
anti-dilutive.
The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
becomes effective December 15, 1997. On that basis, the Company's
reported earnings per share for the periods reported upon would be as
follows:
March 31
--------------------------------------
Per Share Amounts 1997 1996
--------------------------------------
Primary Earnings Per Share, as Reported $ (0.06) $ 0.02
SFAS 128 Adjustment -- 0.01
--------------------------------------
Basic Earning Per Share $ (0.06) $ 0.03
======================================
Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share, as Reported N/A $ 0.02
SFAS 128 Adjustment --
--------------------------------------
Diluted Earnings Per Share N/A $ 0.02
======================================
For 1997, there is no calculation for Fully Diluted or Diluted EPS because
it would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the average market price for the
Company's securities in thefirst quarter of 1997 was lower than the
exercise price of the Company's Stock Options and Warrants.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS
1. REVENUES
For the three months ended March 31, 1997, net sales were about
$2,570,000 compared to about $2,942,000 for the first quarter of 1996, or a
12.6% reduction. First quarter 1996 sales for the Power Protection business unit
included a significant one time sale for a major construction project. Excluding
this one time event, 1997 sales declined by about 4% as compared to 1996. The
Power Protection business unit is facing about the same level of competition it
faced in 1996, but the Astralite business unit is facing significantly more
competitive pressure, even though it did show a sales increase as compared to
the first quarter of 1996. The Company has initiated several programs to
increase sales. In February, 1997, the Power Protection business unit hired a
senior development engineer and restructured the engineering department to
improve new product development. In addition, in early 1997, the Field Service
business unit invested in a service management software program in order to
improve service revenue. This system is expected to go on line in the near
future. The Astralite business unit has added new salesmen to improve sales.
Sales of some Astralite products may be impacted by the new Underwriters
Laboratory requirements that become effective in August, 1997, however,
Astralite is developing a new product line to meet the new requirements.
2. COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for the first quarter was $2,027,051, or 78.9% of sales
in 1997 as compared to $2,090,383 or 71.1% of sales in 1996. The increase in
cost of sales was, to a large extent, due to a change in product mix which
increased the cost of materials and to an increase in the cost of quality
including the hiring of a Director of Total Quality during the fourth quarter of
1996. The Company is committed to using Total Quality Management (TQM) in all of
its processes in order to improve product quality and, in the longer term, to
reduce its total cost. As an example, the Power Protection unit initiated a cell
manufacturing concept in order to increase employee involvement and
accountability for product quality and cost. In addition, the Company's
Astralite product manufacturing processes were streamlined.
3. OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES
Selling expenses for the first quarter of 1997 were $63,500, or 15.5%,
lower than the first quarter of 1996. During the first quarter of 1996, the
Company incurred sales commission expenses of around $70,000 more than in the
same period of 1997. The Company continues to closely monitor its sales and
marketing investment.
General and administrative expenses were approximately $265,000 in the
first quarter of 1997, compared to about $281,000 in the first quarter of 1996.
Administrative headcount has been reduced in 1997, and the Company has taken
other steps to reduce administrative expenses.
Interest expense in the first quarter of 1997 was $86,688 or about
$6,200 lower than the first quarter of 1996. The reduction of interest expense
primarily resulted from replacing debt to the Company's asset based lender, with
effective interest rates in excess of 14%, with debt from related parties, at
rates of 10% or less.
Page 10
COMPUTER POWER, INC. & SUBSIDIARY
4. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1997, the Company's investment in assets was about
$3,251,000 or about $49,000 less than at December 31, 1996. The change in assets
was due to a $237,000 increase in accounts receivable on a sales increase over
the fourth quarter of 1996 (up 7%) and an increase in Days Sales Outstanding
(DSO) from an average of 58 days to an average of 62 days. This increase was
more than offset by a $289,000 decrease in inventory, as the Company continued
with its inventory management programs begun in the fourth quarter of 1996. The
change in liabilities and stockholder's equity reflects a $270,500 increase in
bridge financing provided by a related entity and an officer of the Company,
that was essentially used to finance the first quarter's net loss and to pay
down financing from the asset based lender.
The Company has two raw material suppliers, one of which is a related
party, that provide extended payments terms. As of March 31, 1997, these vendors
were owed a total of about $408,000, of which about $268,000 was outstanding as
a result of those terms.
During February 1997, the Company arranged additional bridge financing
from a related entity and an officer of the Company totaling $280,000. By early
May, 1997 the full amount of the financing had been provided to the Company. The
new financing provides for a one year term loan maturing February 1, 1998.
Should the Company be unable to pay down the obligation when due, warrants to
purchase Company stock will be issued in exchange for a one year payment
extension.
The Company anticipates that the funding sources available to it, which
to a significant extent depends on the revolving credit and inventory term loan
arrangement (See Part II, Section 5), should be sufficient to cover operating
cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company lost $154,917 in the first
three months of 1997, or ($0.06) per share, as compared to a profit of $68,534
or $0.02 per share in the similar period last year. There were 2,578,300 and
2,831,837 fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in each
period, respectively, after considering the dilutive effects of outstanding
options and warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the effects of
options and warrants were not considered when calculating fully diluted earnings
per share, since the results would have been anti-dilutive.
