PART II -- RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if applicable)

         (a)   The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
               form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
               expense;

|X|      (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report
               on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or

10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.

There will be a delay in filing the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2009 because the Company needs additional time
due to unanticipated delays in coordinating the completion and approval of the
report and certain disclosures required to be made therein.

PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
     notification

         Jeffrey D. Gash                    (631)        273-5500
- ----------------------------------    ------------------------------------------
            (Name)                      (Area Code) (Telephone Number)

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
     of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
     registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
     identified reports(s).

     |_|  Yes     |X|  No
     Form 10-K for period ending June 30, 2009

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
     the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
     earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
     thereof? |X|Yes |_| No


                                       2


If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.

As reported on a Form 8-K filed January 13, 2009, on January 7, 2009, the
Registrant announced that it had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with
WPG Americas, Inc. pursuant to which WPG Americas, Inc. purchased certain assets
and assume certain liabilities used in the Registrant's business of distributing
passive and active electronic components and supporting technology products and
services. As a result, the operations of this business are reported as a
discontinued business and are excluded from the continuing results of operations
for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net sales from continuing
operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased significantly
(from $20.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008). For the
three months ended September 30, 2009 operating profit from continuing
operations was approximately $0.7 million as compared to $0.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2008. For the three months ended September 30
2009, the Registrant expects to report minimal or no loss from discontinued
operations (compared to a loss of $15.4 million from discontinued operations for
the same period in 2008), and a small net income per share (compared to a net
loss per share of $2.40 for the same period in 2008). Results from continuing
operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 include a claim
settlement of approximately $1.5 million. In addition the net proceeds for the
sale and the collections of the accounts receivable of the discontinued business
were used to repay the Registrant's indebtedness under its credit facility and
therefore the assets and liabilities of the Registrant are significantly lower
than the prior period reported.
