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) which is expected to close in the second or third quarter of fiscal year 1999. Under the Agreement, LTI would merge into Pen Laminating, Inc., a newly created, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in exchange for the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock to the shareholders of LTI. Each share of LTI common stock will be converted into a number of the Company's common stock based upon a calculation which is equal to $0.50 divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on the fifth day following the effective date of the registration statement covering the merger transaction. Cables To Go Inc. Effective January 29, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its custom cable and harness interconnections business to Pen Cabling Technologies, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTG, Inc. of Dayton, Ohio. The sales price was $1,075,000 and the assumption of certain related lease obligations. Additional payments may be made by the purchaser based upon a post-closing valuation of certain assets transferred in the transaction. In addition, the Company will receive royalties equal to two percent on future sales of the Cable Divisions products up to an amount of $600,000. Assets and liabilities sold were as follows: Receivables, net .................. $ 310,467 Inventories ....................... 361,880 Property and equipment, net ....... 1,386,267 Prepaid expenses .................. 19,757 Other assets ...................... 32,390 Capital leases ....................

On February 1, 1999, the Company entered into a letter of intent with the Company's former CEO for the sale of the MotoSat division. The Company anticipates the sale will be completed during the second or third quarter of fiscal year 1999. The proposed sale provides for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets, assumption of all liabilities and the operations of the division. The proposed sale will not generate cash proceeds to the Company. 9 Pen Interconnect. Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) NOTE A - ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS - CONTINUED Transdigital Communications Inc.

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 the timing of operating 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 and other factors 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 months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. 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, 1998. General Pen Interconnect, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pen") is a total interconnection solution provider offering internal and external custom cable and harness interconnections, mobile satellite equipment, EMSI (Electronic Manufacturing Service Industry) manufacturing (circuit board assembly) and custom design and manufacturing of battery chargers, power supplies and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems for original equipment manufactures ("OEMs") in the computer, peripheral, telecommunications, instrumentation, medical and testing equipment industries. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on September 30, 1985. The Company maintains divisions located in Salt Lake City and Orem, Utah and Irvine, California. Results of Operations Net sales. Net sales for the Company increased $855,122 or approximately 22 percent for the three month period ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales to one significant customer at the InCirt Division. Sales for this division increased 41 percent during the first three months of FY 99 from $3,391,569 to $2,406,744 during the first three months in FY 98. Cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales have increased to approximately 96 percent for the three months ended December 31, 1998, as compared to 78 percent for the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to declining sales in the Cable Division with delays in the reduction of manufacturing overhead costs, and a decrease in the margins on a contract with a major customer at the InCirt Division. This decrease in price raised the level of sales required for this division to cover its manufacturing and overhead costs before generating profits; a level of sales that the division was not able to meet during the period. 12 Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 by approximately $372,168. This increase resulted from the following areas: (1) Research and development costs of $223,641 associated with new product development at the PowerStream Division; (2) General and Administrative costs increased by $287,167 primarily due to legal and audit fees to support the merger and divestiture discussions and increased overhead expenses at the InCirt division to support the increased level of sales associated with the contract expansion with a major customer; (3) sales and marketing expenses declined by $136,662 due to cash flow constraints and an inability to fund sales and marketing programs. Other income and expenses. Other income and expenses increased $218,286 for the three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily the result of increased interest expense of $113,835 due to an increase in the average line of credit outstanding during the quarter over the previous year, from borrowed funds needed to finance a contract expansion with a major customer at the InCirt division and the related increase in receivables and inventories associated with that increase; $40,000 of non-operating income from the TMCI settlement recorded in FY 1998 but not repeated in FY 1999 and $74,294 in expenses associated with interest expense on the subordinated debentures. Net loss and loss per share. Net loss for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1999 totaled $1,305,394 or $0.24 per share, compared with losses of $ 34,166 or $0.01 per share for the first fiscal quarter of 1998. This increase in the loss per share consists primarily of ($0.16) due to decreased margins on sales, ($0.05) from an increase in research and development costs, ($0.03) from an increase in interest expense and ($0.02) from an increase in the number of weighted average shares of 1,428,394 for the first three months of fiscal year 1999 over the same period in fiscal year 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the first three months of FY 99 the Company sustained losses of $1,305,394 which continued the trend of FY 98. Management has taken steps to correct this trend by signing a purchase agreement with Cables To Go as of the date of this filing to sell the Cable division and by signing a letter of intent to sell the MotoSat division. With the selling of the these two divisions, the Company expects to save approximately $170,000 per month in operating costs and interest. The Company has also signed a definitive agreement with Laminating Technologies Inc. (LTI) to merge with Pen being the surviving company. This merger will bring additional funds of approximately $1.8 million to the Company. As a result of these losses, the Company has had to raise cash through two bridge loans and the exercise of warrants from a re-strike of the purchase price of the stock. The bridge loans raised a total of $896,000 while the exercise of warrants yielded an additional $211,112. As of the date of this report, it appears that the Company's net tangible assets will fall below the amount of $4 million required for continued listing on NASDAQ. The Company is currently engaged in acquisition and financing activities previously mentioned which the Company's management believes will restore the required level of net tangible assets. However, not all of these activities have been completed as of the date hereof and there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire sufficient net tangible assets to maintain its NASDAQ National Market listing. In such event, the Company's stock might be listed for trading on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. 13 The Company anticipates increases in sales and new contracts with more profitable margins generating a return to profitability beginning in the third quarter of FY 99. Until such time, it is estimated that between $1 million and $2 million will have to be raised to sustain operations. These funds are expected to be raised from the sale of convertible Preferred Stock for approximately $1 million and additional cash from the LTI merger. The dispositions of the two divisions, the anticipated increases in sales from the remaining divisions and the anticipated return to profitability should generate sufficient cash to fund operations of the Company for the rest of calendar year 1999. Management cannot assure however that these efforts to raise funds nor the anticipated increases in sales will materialize. Inflation and Seasonality The Company does not believe that it is significantly impacted by inflation. Historically, the computer industry sales tend to decline in December, January, July and August when activity in the personal computer industry as a whole is reduced. However, the Company has recently diversified into the medical and telecommunications products in an effort to offset the seasonality in the computer industry. Year 2000 Readiness In general, the Year 2000 issue relates to computers and other systems being unable to distinguish between the years 1900 and 2000 because they use two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year. Systems that fail to properly recognize such information will likely generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail possibly resulting in a disruption of operations. The Company's products do not incorporate such date coding so the Company's efforts to address the Year 2000 issue fall in the following three areas: (1) the Company's information technology (IT) systems; (2) the Company's non-IT systems (i.e., machinery, equipment and devices which utilize technology which is "built-in" such as embedded mirocontrollers); and (3) third-party suppliers. Management has initiated a program to prepare for compliance in these three areas and expects such programs to be implemented and completed by July 1999. Costs will be expensed as incurred and currently are not expected to be material. The Company believes its current IT systems, with a few exceptions which are being addressed, are year 2000 compliant. The Company is currently conducting an inventory of non IT systems which may have inadequate date coding and will commence efforts to remedy any non-compliant systems by the end of June 30, 1999. Third party suppliers and customers present a different problem in that the Company cannot control the efforts of such third parties. The Company anticipates requesting confirmations from third party suppliers that they are year 2000 compliant to avoid disruptions of services and supplies. However, any failure on the part of such companies with whom the Company transacts business to be year 2000 compliant on a timely basis may adversely affect the operations of the Company. 14 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
