NOTE 1 - COMPANY OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
COMPANY OVERVIEW
MeltroniX, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") provide high density semiconductor interconnect solutions to the OEM
electronics marketplace by offering design, volume manufacturing, and testing
capabilities. The Company targets high growth industries including Internet
equipment, wireless/telecommunication, broadband communication, medical and
other electronic systems and integrated circuits (ICs) manufacturers.
Headquartered in San Diego, with on-site manufacturing facilities, the Company
develops, manufactures, tests and sells OEM microelectronic semiconductor
assemblies. Capitalizing on what it believes are overall industry trends to
outsource design and manufacturing of electronic systems and integrated
circuits, the Company offers both turnkey manufacturing and kitted subassembly
services featuring value added semiconductor interconnect design and test
capabilities in addition to contract assembly. MeltroniX was incorporated in
California in 1984.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes as of June 30, 2001 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair statement of financial position and results of operations of the Company
for the interim period. The results of operations for the six month period ended
June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be
expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this report
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto and the other information, including risk factors,
set forth for the year ended December 31, 2000 in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are strongly encouraged
to review the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company experienced a net
loss totaling $2,612,000 and had negative cash flows from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 totaling $1,274,000. In addition, the Company had a
working capital deficit totaling $4,661,000, a tangible net worth deficit
totaling $4,834,000 at June 30, 2001 and has not made timely payments and was
not in compliance with certain debt, lease and service agreements. The Company
must improve its profitability and obtain additional sources of liquidity
through debt or equity financing to fund its operations, repay debt now due and
debt about to become due and working capital requirements. There can be no
assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on a
timely basis or on acceptable terms or at all. The Company's inability to
accomplish these goals will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
business, consolidated financial condition and operations.

NOTE 4 - EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES
The Company has recorded a provision only for California minimum corporate
taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2001, since the Company's operations
have generated operating losses for both financial reporting and income tax
purposes. A 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the total deferred
income tax assets, as they are not more likely than not to be realized.
The Company believes that it has incurred an ownership change pursuant to
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and, as a result, the Company believes
that its ability to utilize its current net operating loss and credit
carryforwards in current and subsequent periods will be subject to annual
limitations.

NOTE 5 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The computation of diluted loss per share for both three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, excludes the effect of incremental common
shares attributable to the exercise of outstanding common stock options and
warrants and convertible preferred shares because their effect was antidilutive
due to losses incurred by the Company.
NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND RELATED FINANCE CHARGES
Non-cash interest and finance expense represents non-cash charges for
beneficial conversion into Company equity of newly issued notes payable of
$78,000, and non-cash charges for 450,000 shares of common stock issued to
officers/directors valued at $147,000 in exchange for personal guarantees on
notes payable. The expense of $78,000 is a non-cash charge posted to the capital
account of the Company due to the amortization of beneficial conversion features
of $500,000 of notes payable issued. In addition, the Company has granted stock
options that are conditional upon conversion of the notes by the holders. At
such time the notes become convertible, the stock options will be valued at the
then existing fair market value under the Black-Scholes model of valuing stock
options. Also included in non-cash interest and finance expense is a charge of
$1,231,000 related to the issuance of 3,600,000 shares and $450,000 of notes
payable in exchange for $450,000 in cash.
NOTE 7 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, several Preferred Stock
shareholders have retroactively declined to accept dividends on their Preferred
Shares resulting in a benefit to the Company of approximately $112,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2001.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
United States Semiconductor Corporation ("USSC") has funded an additional
$225,000 since June 30, 2001 for a total of $555,000.
Solona Venture Group, L.P. ("Solana") and MeltroniX, Inc. ("MeltroniX")
entered into a letter of agreement July 2001 and Solana provided MeltroniX
with a check for $150,000. The $150,000 is convertible into MeltroniX stock
at $0.20 per share and if the stock is not publicly tradable within six
months of conversion, Solana may tender the stock back to MeltroniX for an
immediate payment of $150,000. The other terms of the letter of agreement
were not fulfilled and are not active terms.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIS QUARTERLY REPORT CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE
COMPANY'S ANTICIPATED FUTURE REVENUES AND EARNINGS, ADEQUACY OF FUTURE CASH FLOW
AND RELATED MATTERS. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT
LIMITED TO, STATEMENTS CONTAINING THE WORDS "EXPECT", "BELIEVE", "WILL", "MAY",
"SHOULD", "PROJECT", "ESTIMATE", AND LIKE EXPRESSIONS, AND THE NEGATIVE THEREOF.
THESE STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL
RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE STATEMENTS, INCLUDING COMPETITION, AS WELL
AS THOSE RISKS DESCRIBED IN THE COMPANY'S SEC REPORTS, INCLUDING THE COMPANY'S
FORM 10-K FILED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000
- -----------------------------------------
The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for
the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the
accompanying notes included within this report.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, net sales were $740,000 as
compared to net sales of $3,376,000 for the second quarter of 2000, resulting in
decreased sales of $2,636,000 or 78%. The decrease in net sales is primarily the
result of decreased sales to Schlumberger, totaling approximately $451,000 in
2001 and $2.0 million in 2000, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million.
Although the Company has profitable sales orders it is hampered in production
due to a lack of financing to buy the materials needed to produce product. Those
products that are produced have an acceptable gross profit margin and current
customers will accept increased production. The Company's focus therefore is on
increasing production of the orders already received.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the cost of goods sold was
$634,000 as compared to $2,811,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, a
decrease of $2,177,000 or 77%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is due to the
decrease in sales volume from customers offset by higher gross profit margins on
the product sold.
Gross profit was $106,000 (14% of net sales) for the second quarter of 2001
as compared to gross profit of $565,000 (17% of net sales) for the second
quarter of 2000. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to fixed
manufacturing costs unable to be absorbed at the decreased production level
partially offset by the sale of products with higher gross profit margins, a
decreased reliance on the development of new products and the related extra
costs, and a change in allocation of overhead costs due to the reduction in
manufacturing personnel.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $433,000 for the second
quarter of 2001, representing a decrease of $603,000 or 58% from the second
quarter of 2000. The decrease is due to the Company's downsizing of staff,
review and elimination of expenses, and a conscious effort to minimize
purchases.
11
Engineering and product development expenses were $93,000 for the second
quarter of 2001, representing a decrease of $229,000 or 71% from the
corresponding quarter of 2000. The decrease is primarily comprised of staff
downsizing and completion of process and products development costs that were
necessary to bring new technology expertise for BGA, flip chip, fine pitch wire
bonding, and other semiconductor interconnect technologies begun in 2000.
Interest expense was $43,000 for the second quarter of 2001, representing an
increase of $43,000 from the corresponding quarter of 2000. The primary cause of
the increase was interest on additional notes payable.
Non-cash interest and finance expense represents non-cash charges for
beneficial conversion into Company equity of newly issued notes payable of
$39,000, and non-cash charges for 450,000 shares of common stock issued to
officers/directors valued at $38,000 in exchange for personal guarantees on
notes payable. The expense of $39,000 is a non-cash charge posted to the capital
account of the Company due to the amortization of beneficial conversion features
of $500,000 of notes payable issued. In addition, the Company has granted stock
options that are conditional upon conversion of the notes by the holders. At
such time the notes become convertible, the stock options will be valued at the
then existing fair market value under the Black-Scholes model of valuing stock
options. Also included in non-cash interest and finance expense is a charge of
$1,231,000 related to the issuance of 3,600,000 shares and $450,000 of notes
payable in exchange for $450,000 in cash.
The Company has recorded a provision for the minimum California income taxes
for the three months ended June 30, 2001, since the Company's operations have
generated operating losses for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
A 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the total deferred income tax
assets, as they are not more likely than not to be realized.
A Preferred Stock shareholder and officer of the Company has retroactively
declined to accept dividends on his Preferred Shares resulting in a benefit to
the Company of approximately $2,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000
- ---------------------------------------
The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for
the first two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and should be read
in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the
accompanying notes included within this report.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net sales were $1,625,000 as
compared to net sales of $6,726,000 for the second quarter of 2000, resulting in
decreased sales of $5,101,000 or 76%. The decrease in net sales is primarily the
result of decreased sales to Schlumberger, totaling approximately $451,000 in
2001 and $4.2 million in 2000, a decrease of approximately $3.7 million.
Although the Company has profitable sales orders it is hampered in production
due to a lack of financing to buy the materials needed to produce product. Those
products that are produced have an acceptable gross profit margin and current
customers will accept increased production. The Company's focus therefore is on
increasing production of the orders already received and generating new orders
from current and potential customers.
12
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the cost of goods sold was
$1,389,000 as compared to $6,125,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000, a
decrease of $4,736,000 or 77%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is due to the
decrease in sales volume from customers offset by higher gross profit margins on
the product sold.
Gross profit was $236,000 (15% of net sales) for the first half of 2001 as
compared to gross profit of $601,000 (9% of net sales) for the first half of
2000. The increase in gross profit is attributable to sale of products with
higher gross profit margins, a decreased reliance on the development of new
products and the related extra costs, and a change in allocation of overhead
costs due to the reduction in manufacturing personnel.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,017,000 for the first
half of 2001, representing a decrease of $832,000 or 45% from the first half of
2000. The decrease is due to the Company's downsizing of staff, review and
elimination of expenses, and a conscious effort to minimize purchases.
Engineering and product development expenses were $291,000 for the first
half of 2001, representing a decrease of $390,000 or 57% from the corresponding
first half of 2000. The decrease is primarily comprised of staff downsizing and
completion of process and products development costs that were necessary to
bring new technology expertise for BGA, flip chip, fine pitch wire bonding, and
other semiconductor interconnect technologies begun in 2000.
Interest expense was $83,000 for the first half of 2001, representing an
increase of $83,000 from the corresponding quarter of 2000. The primary cause of
the increase was interest on additional notes payable.
Non-cash interest and finance expense represents non-cash charges for
beneficial conversion into Company equity of newly issued notes payable of
$78,000, and non-cash charges for 450,000 shares of common stock issued to
officers/directors valued at $147,000 in exchange for personal guarantees on
notes payable. The expense of $78,000 is a non-cash charge posted to the capital
account of the Company due to the amortization of beneficial conversion features
of $500,000 of notes payable issued. In addition, the Company has granted stock
options that are conditional upon conversion of the notes by the holders. At
such time the notes become convertible, the stock options will be valued at the
then existing fair market value under the Black-Scholes model of valuing stock
options. Also included in non-cash interest and finance expense is a charge of
$1,231,000 related to the issuance of 3,600,000 shares and $450,000 of notes
payable in exchange for $450,000 in cash.
The Company has recorded a provision for the minimum California income taxes
for the six months ended June 30, 2001, since the Company's operations have
generated operating losses for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
A 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the total deferred income tax
assets, as they are not more likely than not to be realized.
13
Several Preferred Stock shareholders have retroactively declined to accept
dividends on their Preferred Shares resulting in a benefit to the Company of
approximately $112,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The Company believes that it has incurred an ownership change pursuant to
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, as a result, the Company believes
that its ability to utilize its current net operating loss and credit
carryforwards in subsequent periods will be subject to annual limitations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company financed its
operations through notes payable from two of its directors ($375,000) and from 3
outside investors ($1,030,000), the execution of warrants ($3,000) as well as
the issuance of common stock under the employee stock option program ($195,000).
During the first six months of 2001, operating activities used $1,274,000. The
Company's sources of liquidity at June 30, 2001 consist of inventories of
$380,000 and trade accounts receivable of $547,000. The Company successfully
negotiated the replacement of the Silicon Valley Bank line of credit with a new
line of credit with Primary Funding and is continuing to pursue equity
financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any
of its financing activities.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the first half
ended June 30, 2001, the Company had negative cash flows from operations
totaling $1,274,000. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit
totaling $4,661,000 at June 30, 2001. Further, the Company has not made timely
payments and was not in compliance with certain debt, lease, and service
agreements. The Company must improve its profitability and obtain additional
sources of liquidity through debt or equity financing to fund its operations,
repay debt currently due and debt about to become due as well as its general
working capital requirements. Management is currently monitoring its expenses in
an effort to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its available resources
to assist in improving its profitability. Management is also currently exploring
various debt and equity funding sources including and in addition to those with
United States Semiconductor Corporation, as described below. There can be no
assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on a
timely basis or on acceptable terms or at all. The Company's inability to
accomplish these goals will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
business, consolidated financial condition and operations. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In July 2000, the Company entered into an Account Receivable Financing
Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank Credit Line") which was paid in full
and replaced with a new line of credit with Primary Funding during the three
months ended June 30, 2001. The line of credit agreement with Primary Funding is
secured by all assets of the Company, and the Company can borrow up to $500,000
in total limited to 80% of account receivable acceptable to the bank. As of June
30, 2001, approximately $300,000 was outstanding under the line of credit
agreement with Primary Funding.

In January 2001, La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. ("LJCI") and The Norman Litz
IRA, loaned the Company $250,000 each in exchange for a two-year convertible
note bearing interest at 10%, payable monthly. The convertible note due to The
Norman Litz IRA is secured by the assets of the Company, while the note due to
LJCI is personally guaranteed by directors and officer of the Company. The
conversion prices of the notes are equal to (a) $.20 per share, if the principal
amounts are converted within one-year of the effective date, or (b) the lesser
of $.20 per share or 80% of the lowest market price (as defined) during the 45
days prior to the conversion, if the principal amounts are converted after
one-year and prior to maturity. In addition, each of the agreements contains an
Additional Stock Purchase Right, whereby, the debt holders can purchase
additional shares at the lesser of $.20 per share or 80% of the lowest market
price (as defined) during the 45 days prior to note conversion. Under the
Additional Stock Purchase Right, the debt holders are limited in the number of
additional shares that can be purchased, such that, (a) the additional shares
purchased can not exceed 50% of the number of shares initially converted from
the loan balance, and (b) the debt holders can not own more than 10%,
individually, of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock.
In February 2001, the Company executed a letter of intent with United States
Semiconductor Corporation ("USSC") for a proposed transaction, which, if
consummated, would provide that USSC will (i) grant the Company an exclusive,
non transferable license for the use of USSC's technology in exchange for a
percentage to be determined of the Company's common stock, and (ii) purchase a
percentage yet to be determined of the common stock of the Company. The expenses
to further develop the technology to a commercially feasible and manufacturable
level are to be born by USSC. Once established, the Company is to manufacture
the developed products and, upon sale, will be obligated to pay USSC a royalty,
the amount of which has yet to be agreed upon. As of May 22, 2001 the Company
has received $330,000 from USSC. Management is continuing its discussion with
USSC in anticipation of executing a definitive agreement. The consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the letter of intent are subject to a number of
conditions that are outside the control of the Company and, therefore, there is
no assurance that such transactions will be successfully completed.
On February 23, 2001, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from James
T. Waring, a director of the Company, under a secured promissory note with
interest at 10%, due and payable in full in one lump sum not later than the
earliest to occur of either May 23, 2002 or the date of the closing of the stock
purchase transaction between MeltroniX and USSC.
On March 9, 2001, the Company borrowed an additional $75,000 from James T.
Waring, a director of the Company, under a secured promissory note with interest
at 10%, due and payable in full in one lump sum not later than the earliest to
occur of either June 9, 2002 or the date as of which MeltroniX has received a
cumulative amount of $1,075,000 in connection with the stock purchase
transaction between MeltroniX and USSC.
On April 6, 2001, the Company borrowed an additional $200,000 from LJCI
under a secured promissory note with interest at 9%, due and payable on April 6,
2002 and guaranteed by certain officers/directors of the Company. In connection
with the promissory note, the Company is to issue 1,000,000 shares of its common
15
stock as additional consideration for the loan. The Company has further agreed
to prepare and file a registration statement within 60 days and use its best
efforts to effect such registration statement to register the 1,000,000 shares
and those underlying the previously issued convertible note payable.
On May 1, 2001, the Company borrowed an additional $250,000 from Paul H.
Neuharth, Jr, a director of the Company, under a promissory note with interest
at 14%, due and payable on the earlier of May 1, 2002 or from proceeds of equity
investments cumulating over $1 million after May 1, 2001. In connection with the
promissory note, the Company is to issue 2,500,000 shares of its common stock as
additional consideration for the loan.
On May 11, 2001, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Primary
Funding Corporation ("PFC"), whereby the Company may, from time to time, sell,
transfer and assign accounts to PFC at a discount not to exceed 20%. At June 30,
2001 approximately $300,000 was owed to Primary Funding.
On May 11, 2001, PFC entered into three separate intercreditor agreements
with three of the Company's creditors, whereby the creditors have subordinated
and assigned their priority interests in the inventory and accounts of the
Company.
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION. During the first half of 2001, net sales to the
Company's top three customers were 70%, as compared to 74% during the three
months ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is due to a more diversified customer
base and a reduced dependence on sales to one customer, Schlumberger, which was
reduced to 28% of the Company's net sales in the first half of 2001 as compared
to 64% for 2000. The Company anticipates that reliance on these customers should
continue to diminish in 2001 due to the expected increased sales to other
customers.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In May 1995, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
issues written notice to all known generators of hazardous waste shipped to a
Whittier California treatment facility. The EPAS notice indicated that these
generators (including the Company) were potentially the responsible parties
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
("CERCLA"). The notice requires all of the generators of this waste to take
immediate actions to contain and prevent any further release of hazardous
substances at this site. In response to the EPA notice, the Company and
approximately 100 of the other named generators provided the necessary funding
to effect the removal and destruction of the hazardous wastes stored at this
site. At present, the Company believes its percentage of responsibility for this
site is less than one half of one percent; and that percentage is expected to
decrease substantially, as additional generators are determined. In addition,
the Company along with other generators has provided certain funding to test the
soil and ground water at this site, which testing is currently ongoing. Although
the cost incurred by the Company to date of removing and destroying the
hazardous waste stored at this facility was not significant, this effort does
not address the cleanup of potential soil and/or ground-water contamination
present at this site. Management is unable to estimate the possible cost of this
suit at this time, as the cost of clean up has not been determined. There can be
no assurance, therefore, that the costs and expenses associated with this action
will not increase in the future to a level that would have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows.
Two of the Company's former consultants and directors, Lewis Solomon and
Gary Stein ("Plaintiffs"), filed a lawsuit on December 18, 1998 in the state of
New York against the Company and its major customer, Schlumberger. The former
consultants' services were terminated in July 1998. Mr. Solomon resigned from
the Board of Directors in August 1998; Mr. Stein resigned in December of the
same year. In the complaint, Plaintiffs charged that the Company failed to pay
them for alleged consulting services, expense reimbursements and other forms of
compensation aggregating $101,250. Further, Plaintiffs alleged they were
wrongfully terminated as consultants and seek damages to be determined at trial.
The Company believed that Plaintiffs' claims were without merit and made
substantial counterclaims against Plaintiffs. In March 2001, the matter was
settled whereby the Company agreed to pay $50,000 in the form of 120,482 shares
of common stock. The number of shares to be issued was based on the average of
the high bid and low ask market price of $.414 per share as of January 10, 2001.
On October 18, 2000, the Company was notified by the United States
Bankruptcy Court that Lucien A. Morin, II, as Chapter 7 Trustee of H. J. Meyers
& Co., Inc. is seeking from the Company 1,000,000 common stock purchase warrants
with a term of five years from November 19, 1997, an exercise price of $1.00 per
share, and certain registration rights, under a contract between the Company and
H.J. Meyers & Co. The Company has responded that H. J. Meyers & Co. failed to
fulfill its obligations under the contract, which was cancelled in August 1998,
and that as a result no warrants are due.
