                                    PART I
 
Item 1. Description of Business.
 
General
 
  Alpha Technologies Group, Inc. ("Alpha" or the "Company") manufactures
thermal management products, electronic connectors, and custom designed
subsystems.
 
  Thermal management products, principally heat sinks, are primarily
fabricated aluminum extrusions that have high surface area to volume ratios
and are engineered to dissipate unwanted heat generated by electronic
components. As systems become increasingly more powerful and packaging becomes
smaller, the need to dissipate heat becomes more important to the reliability
and functionality of electronic systems. The Company's thermal management
products serve the microprocessor, computer, consumer electronics,
transportation, automotive, industrial controls, factory automation, power
supply, aerospace and defense industries.
 
  Connectors are electro-mechanical devices that permit electronic
subassemblies such as printed circuit boards, power supplies and input-output
wire harnesses/cable assemblies to be coupled and separated. The Company's
connector products include sub-miniature, micro-miniature and ultra-miniature
connectors and cable and/or wire harness connector assemblies, the majority of
which are custom manufactured to meet rigid specifications. The Company's
connector products serve the aerospace, communications, defense, factory
automation, industrial controls, medical electronics, scientific/process
instrumentation and test/measurement industries.
 
  Custom designed subsystems are operational sub-units integrated into major
networks for data transmission, retrieval and transfer. The Company designs,
fabricates and tests custom designed subsystems for the defense industry, the
telecommunications industry and certain commercial markets.
 
  The Company was incorporated as Synercom Technology, Inc., in Texas in 1969,
and was reincorporated in Delaware in 1983. In 1993, the Company began its
transformation from a software company to its current businesses. Since
October 1993, the Company has grown through a combination of acquisitions and
internal growth. In September of 1994, the Company sold the remaining aspects
of its software and related services business. In April 1995, it changed its
name to Alpha Technologies Group, Inc.
 
  The thermal management business is conducted through the Company's wholly-
owned subsidiary, Wakefield Engineering, Inc. ("Wakefield") which includes the
Wakefield-Fall River and Wakefield-Temecula divisions, Wakefield Extrusion
Corp. ("Wakefield Extrusion") and Lockhart Industries, Inc. ("Lockhart"). The
connector business is conducted through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Uni-Star Industries, Inc. ("Uni-Star"), which does business as Microdot
Connectors, and its foreign subsidiary, Microdot Connectors Europe Ltd. The
manufacturing operation in France, Malco Microdot France SARL, has been
consolidated into the operation in the United Kingdom. However, a sales office
is maintained in France to service its European operations. In early fiscal
1998, the Company's electronics systems business, which operates as Malco, was
transferred from Uni-Star to a newly formed Delaware corporation, Malco
Technologies, Incorporated; which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpha. See
"Note 13. Business Segment Information" in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

                   Ltd.
      August 1996  Manufacturer of sophisticated thermal management devices in
                   Paramount, California (Lockhart)
</TABLE>
 
 Disposition
 
  On June 20, 1997, Uni-Star sold substantially all of the assets and business
of its hermetic connector business in Cincinnati, Ohio, which operated under
the trade name Connector Industries of America ("CIA"). The sale included
certain tangible and intangible assets used in the CIA business and the
agreement by Uni-Star and Alpha and certain of their affiliates not to engage
in the hermetic connector business for five years except that Uni-Star's
Microdot Connectors division may continue to sell certain families of custom
hermetic connectors.
 
  The sales price was $2,100,000 plus the assumption by the purchaser of
certain payables and liabilities of the CIA business aggregating approximately
$120,000. The agreement provides for a potential additional payment to the
Company of up to $400,000, due in February, 1999, based on orders booked by
the buyer during the 1998 calendar year by customers of the CIA business. In
January 1999, the purchaser advised the Company that no contingent payment
will be due. The company recognized a gain, excluding the potential additional
payment, on the sale of $610,000 during fiscal 1997.
 
Thermal Management Segment
 
 General
 
  During the second half of fiscal 1998, the thermal management segment
revenues decreased substantially compared to the first half of fiscal 1998.
Management believes the decrease was primarily the result of a slowdown in the
electronics industry as well as increased competition from Asian manufacturers
which resulted in lower volumes and sales prices for products serving the
personal computer industry. In response to the decreased revenues, the Company
substantially reduced costs to bring them in line with existing sales levels,
primarily by workforce reductions. In addition during September 1998, the
President of the Company's connector subsidiary assumed the additional
responsibilities of the Presidency of the thermal management group.
 
  In the first half of fiscal 1998, the Company completed the consolidation of
the thermal management business. The Wakefield, Massachusetts facility was
closed and consolidated into the Fall River, Massachusetts and Temecula,
California facilities. The Company leased office space in Beverly,
Massachusetts for the thermal management sales, engineering and administrative
staff. In addition, the Company reached an agreement with the landlord of the
Wakefield facility to transfer its remaining lease commitment on the Wakefield
facility to a lease for office space at a building owned by the landlord in
Beverly, Massachusetts. See "Item 2. Description of Property."

consumer electronics, transportation, automotive, industrial controls, factory
automation, power supply, aerospace and defense industries.
 
  The Company's principal thermal management products include:
 
Penguin(TM) Coolers            Heat sinks specifically designed to solve
                               thermal problems for the latest high-speed
                               microprocessors offered by major manufacturers.
                               Other microprocessor-specific products include
                               aluminum impregnated plastic heat sinks, sold
                               under the Deltem(TM) name. These products are
                               used in personal computers and servers. Older
                               versions of Penguin Coolers are used in
                               embedded microprocessor applications.
 
Extruded Heat Sinks            Heat sinks and heat sink assemblies designed
                               for high power industrial applications,
                               including transportation equipment; automotive
                               and other stereo amplifiers; and bonded fin
                               heat sinks used by makers of power supplies,
                               transportation equipment and other industrial
                               equipment.
 
Stamped and Low Power Heat     Heat sinks designed to dissipate heat generated
Sinks                          by power semiconductors, transistors,
                               rectifiers, diodes and other electronic
                               components used in electronic applications.
                               Typically, these are smaller components used on
                               printed circuit boards.
 
Active Cooling Components      These products use air or liquid to dissipate
                               heat. Air-to-air heat exchangers use fans to
                               exchange heat with cooler air and are used in
                               high-performance telecommunications, military
                               and aerospace systems. These products also
                               include sophisticated precision formed
                               fin/fluxless vacuum brazed chassises, heat
                               exchangers and cold plates used to cool and
                               protect computer, radar and laser systems for
                               the aerospace, military and commercial markets.
                               Liquid cooling systems are used in applications
                               which require the removal of significantly
                               greater amounts of heat than can be achieved by
                               air cooling.
 
Precision Compression          These products are complete mounting clamp and
Mounting Clamp Systems         heat sink assembly systems for proper
                               installation, compression and cooling of high-
                               power compression pack silicon-controlled
                               rectifiers. These products are used in
                               industrial welding, transportation and motor
                               control systems.
 
Accessory Products             The Company's accessories include high-
                               performance thermal compounds, adhesives,
                               interface materials, and other accessories.
 
 Customers
 
  The Company's principal customers of thermal management products are leading
original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") of electronic equipment, including:
Hewlett-Packard, Rockwell Automation, Harman, SCI, Apple Computer, Pioneer,
Chrysler Corporation, General Electric, Motorola, Gateway, Delco and Martin
Marietta. The thermal management business has over 3,000 customers. No single
customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's revenues during its
1997 or 1998 fiscal year.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
  The Company's thermal management products must meet its OEM customer's
exacting specifications. Some of the Company's thermal management OEM
customers require the Company to qualify as an approved supplier. In order to
so qualify, the Company must satisfy stringent quality control standards and
undergo extensive in-plant inspections of its manufacturing processes,
equipment and quality control systems. In addition, as required by certain of
the Company's automotive customers, the Company's Wakefield-Temecula division
became QS9000 registered (the quality specification required by the automotive
industry). Revenues from such customers have been immaterial through fiscal
1998, however are expected to increase in fiscal 1999.
 
 Sales, Marketing, and Distribution
 
  The Company designs, manufactures and sells both standard and customized
thermal management products. The Company seeks to become a strategic supplier
to its customers and to differentiate itself from its competitors by offering
a higher level of service to its customers. The Company has applications
engineers who are dedicated to providing ongoing technical support. These
engineers provide solutions to customers for their thermal management
problems, answer customers' questions on the use and application of the
Company's products, provide field support to customers and work with certain
key customers to develop new thermal management solutions. The Company
believes the technical services provided by its engineers are an important
factor in its thermal management sales.
 
  The Company sells thermal management products through its in-house sales
personnel and a network of independent manufacturers' representatives and
distributors. In North America, thermal management products sales are
supported by an internal sales support staff of 12 individuals, 26
manufacturers' representatives and 20 distributors. In international markets,
the Company's thermal management products are sold by 11 manufacturers'
representatives and 13 distributors.
 
  In general, the Company's thermal management manufacturers' representatives
and distributors enter into agreements that allow for termination by either
party upon 30 to 90 days notice. Generally, distributors are permitted to
return a small portion of products purchased by them during the term of the
agreements and to return all products (other than obsolete products) purchased
by them upon termination of the agreement by the Company. Historically, the
amount of returns has been insignificant to the Company's business. The
Company's distributors are generally not precluded from marketing competitive
products.
 
 Research and Product Development
 
  The Company's product development strategy continues to focus on engineering
modifications of existing products to provide customers with higher
performance and lower cost products. The Company maintains technical
relationships with certain key customers in order to understand future thermal
management requirements and focuses on developing new or modifying existing
products to meet such requirement. The Company strives to be included on the
recommended vendor list of its customers, however, such recommendation is
typically not exclusive.
 
  During fiscal 1998, the Company also focused some of its research and
development efforts to develop a new product line for the microprocessor
market based on convoluted fin technology. These products are smaller, lighter
and thermally more efficient than current generation heat sinks. While the
Company believes that this product family will gain market acceptance in the
future, to date, the Company's orders for this product have not been
significant.
 
  During fiscal 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company spent $1,448,000, $1,506,000
and $1,903,000 respectively, on product research and development with respect
to its thermal management products. The Company believes that its technical
capabilities, in conjunction with its relationships with customers, will allow
it to continue to introduce solutions to new thermal management problems
responsively. Due to the aforementioned reductions in workforce, the Company
expects its product research and development expenses to decrease in fiscal
1999.

 Competition
 
  The thermal management market is highly competitive. There are many
companies which compete directly with the Company in the thermal management
business and offer products and services similar to those offered by the
Company. In this market, the Company's four principal competitors are Aavid
Thermal Technologies, Inc., Thermalloy, a division of Bowthorpe, plc.,
Foxconn/Foxflow Thermal Technology, Inc. and National Northeast Corp., a
subsidiary of Mestek, Inc. Two of the Company's thermal management competitors
are divisions or subsidiaries of larger corporations and, as such, have
greater financial, marketing, and technical resources than the Company.
Additional competition comes from numerous small machine shops, aluminum
extruders, and other new thermal management companies which typically focus on
a single product and do not offer complete lines of thermal management
products.
 
 Backlog
 
  The thermal management business backlog was approximately $17.4 and $9.1
million on October 26, 1997 and October 25, 1998, respectively. Backlog
typically consists of purchase orders scheduled for shipment within 60 days
following the order date. The Company's backlog at any time is not indicative
of future revenue. However, the Company's thermal management lead times have
decreased from 16 weeks to 8 weeks over the last fiscal year.
 
 Proprietary Rights
 
  The Company applies for patents with respect to its most significant
patentable developments. It owns 18 patents related to its thermal management
products which expire from 2002 to 2016. Management believes that its
competitive position is not dependent on patents and that patent expirations
will not materially adversely affect the Company's competitive position.
 
 Raw Materials
 
  The principal raw material used in the Company's thermal management products
is extruded aluminum. Raw materials represent a significant portion of the
cost of the Company's thermal management products. Prices for raw materials
are based upon market prices at the time of purchase. Historically, the price
of aluminum has experienced substantial volatility. Although thermal
management products are generally shipped within 60 days following the order
date, increases in raw materials prices cannot always be reflected in product
sales prices. All raw materials are readily available from multiple suppliers
at competitive prices. In addition, Wakefield Extrusion, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Wakefield Engineering, supplies a portion of the Company's needs
for extruded aluminum. The Company does not believe the price volatility for
aluminum represents a significant risk because the raw materials for an order
are usually purchased within a short time after the order is accepted.
 
Connector Products Segment
 
 Products
 
  The Company designs, manufactures and sells high-reliability sub-miniature,
micro-miniature and ultra-miniature connectors, including connectors sold as
value added cable and/or wire harness assemblies, used in aerospace, military
and high-performance commercial applications. The Company's connector products
are produced in small volumes and are highly customized to meet specific
requirements.
 
  The Company's principal connector products include:
 
Rectangular Connectors         Micro-Miniature and Ultra-Miniature low
                               frequency signal connectors which are
                               configured in one to four rows with up to 400
                               contacts and designed for high reliability
                               aerospace, military and commercial
                               applications.

                               Miniature, and industry standard low to high
                               frequency signal connectors which are
                               configured to work with 50, 70 and 93 ohm
                               coaxial, twin-axial and tri-axial cable.
                               Coaxial connectors are predominantly used in
                               communication and test/measurement
                               instrumentation applications.
 
Circular Connectors            The Company produces custom circular low
                               frequency signal connectors, including some
                               custom hermetic connectors.
 
Cable and Wire                 The Company manufactures and sells proprietary
                               and non proprietary wire and cable products
                               which are generally sold as a value added part
                               of connector assemblies, including custom
                               application specific cable and miniature low
                               noise coaxial cable.
 
 Customers
 
  The Company's principal customers for connector products are OEM's in a
diverse group of industries including: aerospace, communications, defense,
factory automation, industrial controls, medical electronics,
scientific/process instrumentation and test/measurement. The Company's
connector business has over 400 customers including: Boeing North America,
March Electronics, Raytheon Company, Rockwell Collins, Space Systems/Loral,
AT&T, Morey Corporation, PCB Piezotronics, and Lockheed Martin. No single
customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's revenue during its
1997 and 1998 fiscal year.
 
  Typically, the Company's connector products must meet OEM customers'
exacting specifications. In addition, many of the customers also require the
Company to qualify as an approved supplier. In order to so qualify, the
connector products segment must satisfy stringent quality control standards
and undergo extensive in-plant inspections of its manufacturing processes,
equipment and quality control systems.
 
 Sales, Marketing, and Distribution
 
  The Company's connector products include both standard and customized
connector products. The Company seeks to become a value-added supplier to its
customers and to differentiate itself from its competitors by offering a
higher level of service and technical sales support to its customers. The
connector products segment has a dedicated team of applications engineers and
technicians providing ongoing technical support. These engineers and
technicians assist customers with their connector designs and problems and
answer customers' questions on the use and application of the Company's
connector products. The Company believes the technical services provided by
its engineers and technicians are an important factor in its connector
products sales and product development efforts.
 
  The Company sells connector products through its in-house sales personnel
and through its network of independent manufacturers' representatives and
distributors. In North America, the connector products segment's four-person
sales force supports fourteen manufacturer's representatives and two
distributors. In international markets, the connector products segment uses
three manufacturers' representatives to market its products in addition to in-
house sales personnel in England and France which market the Company's
products to the European market.
 
  In general, the Company's agreements with its connector products'
manufacturers' representatives and distributors allow either party to cancel
the agreement upon 30 to 90 days notice. Generally, the agreements allow
distributors to exchange a small portion of products purchased by them as part
of a stock rotation program and to return all products (other than obsolete
products) purchased by them upon termination of the agreement by the Company
within the first two years of its effective date. The agreements with the
Company's connector product distributors generally preclude them from
marketing competitive products.

 Research and Product Development
 
  The Company's connector product development strategy primarily focuses on
modifying existing products in response to customer needs. The Company
believes that its technical capabilities, in conjunction with collaborative
efforts with customers, will allow it to continue to design products
responsively to meet its customers needs. The Company intends to continue
developing new connector products by modifying and extending its current
products.
 
 Competition
 
  The connector industry is highly fragmented with competition drawn along
very specific product lines. The Company's principal competition in its
connector operations comes from smaller, niche-oriented companies which, like
the Company, focus on low volume customized products. Occasionally, the
Company competes with smaller divisions of larger firms. The Company's
connector competitors include ITT's Cannon division, Glenaire, Labinal's Cinch
division, Microtech, Molex, Cristek, AirBorn, Inc. and Min-e-Con.
 
 Backlog
 
  The Company's connector products backlog was approximately $4.4 and $4.0
million on October 26, 1997 and October 25, 1998, respectively. Backlog
typically consists of purchase orders scheduled for shipment within 90 days.
The Company's backlog at any time is not indicative of future revenue. The
Company has entered into supply agreements with several customers for its
connector products, including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Boeing North
America (previously known as Rockwell Aerospace). The agreements generally
provide that, for a term of eighteen months to two years such customer will
purchase all its requirements, if any, for a particular product from the
Company for a fixed price.
 
 Proprietary Rights
 
  The Company applies for patents with respect to its most significant
patentable developments. The Company owns 8 patents related to its connector
products. Management believes that its competitive position is not dependent
on patents and that patent expirations will not materially adversely affect
the Company's competitive position.
 
 Raw Materials
 
  The principal raw materials used in connector products are aluminum, copper,
copper alloy, stainless steel and steel alloy. The Company also uses gold,
plating chemicals, plastics, bar metal and wire in its production of connector
products. These raw materials are subject to market price fluctuation.
However, no single raw material is considered to be a major cost component of
the Company's connector products. All raw materials are readily available from
multiple suppliers at competitive prices.
 
Environmental Regulations
 
  Several aspects of the Company's operations utilize hazardous materials, the
removal of which is subject to regulation. The Company contracts with licensed
third party waste haulers to remove such hazardous materials. While the
Company believes that it conducts its operations in substantial compliance
with applicable environmental laws and regulations and has all environmental
permits necessary to conduct its business, more stringent environmental
regulations may be enacted in the future, and there can be no assurance that
the Company will not incur significant costs in the future in complying with
such regulations. Local environmental agencies monitor the Company's
operations for ongoing compliance with environmental requirements, and the
Company is required to correct any violations revealed by such monitoring.
Although the Company is periodically subject to notices of violations with
respect to environmental requirements, it is not aware of any violations or
events that would require the Company to incur material cost, nor has the cost
of complying with environmental laws represented a material cost to the
Company. See "Legal Proceedings".

  On October 25, 1998, the Company had 607 employees (603 of whom were full
time). Its thermal management segment had 393 employees (392 of whom were full
time), all in domestic operations, and its connector products segment had 139
employees in domestic operations (all full time) and 20 employees resident
outside the United States (18 full time). In addition, the Company had 8
corporate employees (7 full time). Employees are not represented by a labor
union. Management believes that employee relations are excellent.

** This lease expired in August 1998. Management is currently negotiating a
   new lease with the landlord.
 
  Management believes that these facilities are in good condition suitable for
the purposes for which they are used. The Company has office space for its
thermal management sales, engineering and administrative functions in Beverly,
Massachusetts and for its corporate staff in Houston, Texas, Beverly Hills,
California and New York, New York.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
 
  During 1997, Aerospace Aluminum Heat Treating, Inc. ("AAHT") instituted an
action in the United States District Court for the Central District of
California against Soco-Lynch Corporation and the Company's Lockhart
subsidiary. AAHT operates a facility neighboring Lockhart's facility in
Paramount, California. The complaint alleges that Lockhart released certain
hazardous chemicals into the ground, and that some of these chemicals have
contaminated the ground and/or groundwater below the AAHT facility and an
adjoining property. The complaint also alleges that Soco-Lynch is a supplier
of industrial chemicals, and that Soco-Lynch spilled certain chemicals at the
AAHT facility. The plaintiff has claimed that its damages are between $200,000
and $750,000. To date, the Company has incurred $160,000 in the defense of
this litigation. Preliminary investigation indicates that the underground
water flows in a direction that would not support AAHT's claims. In addition,
because of the depth of the groundwater, even if AAHT's claim were
supportable, the Company believes that any release by Lockhart would predate
the Company's ownership of Lockhart. The former owner of Lockhart agreed to
indemnify the Company against such claims, and has been put on notice of
AAHT's complaint. Such
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
indemnification obligations are payable in shares of the Company's common
stock, which are currently held in escrow, and are to be valued at $9 per
share. Some discovery has been concluded and additional discovery may be
taken. A non-binding mediation was held on January 21, 1999. No resolution was
reached, but the parties agreed to further testing and to attempt to negotiate
a settlement thereafter. If the parties are unable to resolve the litigation
through negotiation, additional discovery and a trial may be necessary. The
Company cannot evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate
the amount or range of potential loss, if any. Lockhart intends to vigorously
defend this action.
 
  On August 5, 1998, an attorney for a group called California Community
Health Advocates wrote a letter to Lockhart Industries alleging that the
Lockhart was in violation of the California Safe Drinking Water Act,
California Health and Safety Code secs. 25249 et seq. (commonly known as
Proposition 65) because of its alleged failure to post certain notices and to
provide certain warnings to neighboring businesses and residents. If all of
these allegations were true, Lockhart could be subjected to penalties of up to
$2,500 per day. In response, Lockhart has agreed to undertake efforts to
reduce or eliminate its use of certain chemicals, and to provide appropriate
warnings for past and current usage of such chemicals, as a way of shielding
itself from such claims in the future. The Company cannot predict the future
cost or liability, if any, with respect to these allegations.
 
  Other than as set forth above, there are no material pending legal
proceedings against the Company and, to the Company's knowledge, no such
proceedings are threatened.
 
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
  No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 to a vote
of the holders of the Company's common stock, through the solicitation of
proxies or otherwise.

  The results of operations of the businesses acquired are included in the
Company's consolidated results of operations only since their respective
acquisition dates. In June 1997, the Company sold its hermetic connector
business which was located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended October 26, 1997 report
separately the gain on the sale and the results of operations of such
discontinued operation. Such operation is not included in the following
discussion and prior year numbers have been restated to exclude the effects of
discontinued operations.
 
Results of Operations
 
 Fiscal Year 1998 versus Fiscal Year 1997 Comparison
 
  Net Income/Loss. The Company reported a net loss for the 1998 fiscal year of
$2,783,000 which included net charges for restructuring and other non
recurring costs of $127,000, a charge for additional inventory reserves of
$926,000, and a $269,000 charge to write off toolings used in the
manufacturing of certain products within the thermal management segment's
stamping product line. This compares to net loss for the 1997 fiscal year of
$3,352,000 which included charges for restructuring and other non recurring
costs of $2,494,000, a charge for additional inventory reserves of $588,000,
and a gain of $610,000 from the sale of its hermetic connector business.
 
  During the second half of fiscal 1998, thermal management revenues decreased
substantially compared to the first half of fiscal 1998. In response to the
decrease in revenues, the Company reduced costs to bring them in line with
existing sales levels primarily by workforce reductions. As a result, the
thermal management business was profitable in the first quarter of fiscal
1999.
 
  The net restructuring and other costs incurred in fiscal 1998 include
$339,000 in reduction in workforce severance payments, $150,000 in estimated
costs to close the Company's connector operation in France, and the net
reversal of $362,000 accrued in connection with the consolidation of the
thermal management operations begun in the fourth quarter of 1997. The
$2,494,000 in restructuring and other charges reported in fiscal 1997 included
(i) $2,028,000 related to the closing of the Company's manufacturing facility
in Wakefield, Massachusetts and the consolidation of the thermal management
operations into the Fall River, Massachusetts and Temecula, California
facilities, and (ii) $466,000 related to downsizing and management changes
throughout the Company.
 
  The additional inventory reserves recorded in fiscal 1998 were recognized
primarily to reserve the costs of certain slow moving products within the
thermal management business's stamping product line and to reserve for
products purchased for an order which was cancelled. The Company continues to
market other products in the stamping product line. The Company has
implemented policies and procedures to reduce its risk of loss on cancellation
of orders. The additional inventory reserves recorded in fiscal 1997 were
recognized to fully reserve the costs of certain custom thermal management
products that were built in anticipation of orders that have not been
received.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial
Condition--continued
 
  In fiscal 1998, the thermal management segment reported a net loss, before
the allocation of Alpha corporate expenses ("corporate allocation"), of
$3,160,000 including a charge for additional inventory reserves of $926,000, a
$269,000 charge to write off toolings used in the manufacturing of certain
products within the stamping product line, severance payments of $263,000 and
the net reversal of $362,000 accrued in connection with the consolidation of
the thermal management operations begun in the fourth quarter of 1997. The net
loss from thermal management operations for fiscal 1997, before corporate
allocation, was $1,786,000, inclusive of $2,028,000 related to the closing of
the Wakefield facility and $172,000 related to downsizing of the thermal
management operations. The results of operations, excluding the aforementioned
charges, decreased primarily due to a reduction in the gross profit margin,
which is discussed below.
 
  For fiscal 1998, net income from the connector products segment, before
corporate allocation, was $889,000 inclusive of $150,000 in estimated expenses
accrued for the closure of the French manufacturing facility and $76,000 in
severance payments at the connector operation in South Pasadena, CA. The net
loss from the connector products segment for fiscal 1997, before corporate
allocation, was $1,133,000 including $166,000 related to management changes
and downsizing. The increase in the results of operations in fiscal 1998
compared to fiscal 1997 was primarily due to an increase in gross profit,
which is discussed below.
 
  Net income from the subsystems segment, before corporate allocation, was
$573,000 for fiscal 1998. The net loss from the subsystems segment for fiscal
1997, before corporate allocation, was $49,000 including $120,000 related to
restructuring. The increase in the results of operations in fiscal 1998
compared to fiscal 1997 was primarily due to an increase in gross profit,
which improved due to the shift to outsourcing various manufacturing
processes.
 
  Sales. The Company's sales for fiscal 1998 increased $1,380,000, or 1.8%, to
$77,045,000 from $75,665,000 for fiscal 1997. Thermal management sales were
$58,495,000 and $58,294,000 for fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively. During the
third and fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company experienced a substantial
decrease in bookings and sales for Penguin(TM) cooler ("PGC") heat sinks and
extruded heat sinks. For fiscal 1998, PGC product sales decreased by 16.6%.
Management believes that the decrease in thermal management sales was due to
the slowdown in the electronics industry and increased competition from Asian
manufacturers resulting in lower quantities and prices. During the last
quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company implemented cost reduction measures,
primarily a reduction in workforce, to bring expenses in line with current
thermal management sales levels.
 
  Connector sales were $12,579,000 during the 1998 fiscal year compared to
$11,880,000 during the prior fiscal year, a 5.9% increase. Management believes
that this increase was primarily caused by increased demand and improved
selling efforts by its independent representatives and distributors.
 
  Gross Profit. The Company's overall gross profit as a percentage of total
revenues ("gross profit percentage") for fiscal 1998 was 17.1% compared to
18.4% for 1997 fiscal year. The thermal management segment's gross profit
percentage was 13.9% and 18.8% for fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Excluding the aforementioned additional inventory reserves recorded in fiscal
1997 and 1998 and the write off of toolings, the Company's thermal management
gross profit percentage was 16.0% and 19.8% for fiscal 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Thermal management gross profit percentage was adversely
impacted by the aforementioned substantial reduction in third and fourth
quarter sales and margins on PGC and extruded heat sink products without a
corresponding decrease in overhead. The Company implemented significant cost
reduction measures, primarily workforce reductions, in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998 to reduce its operating costs and bring expenses in line with
current sales levels.
 
  The connector products segment's gross profit percentage increased to 28.7%
for fiscal 1998 from 17.2% for fiscal 1997. This increase is attributable to
an increase in manufacturing efficiencies due to more consistent monthly sales
levels and a decrease in operating expenses.

Condition--continued
 
  Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense includes
the cost of enhancing existing products and, to a lesser extent, the cost of
developing new products. Research and development expenses, wholly
attributable to the thermal management segment, were $1,903,000 and $1,506,000
for fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase of $397,000 in research
and development expenses was primarily due to an increase in engineering staff
as well as an increase in licensing fees for engineering software. For fiscal
1997, the Company received a one-year waiver of licensing fees for a software
application used in engineering.
 
  During fiscal 1998, the Company focused some of its research and development
efforts to develop a new product line for the microprocessor market based on
convoluted fin technology. These products are smaller, lighter and thermally
more efficient than current generation heat sinks. While the Company believes
that this product family will gain market acceptance in the future, to date,
the Company's orders for this product have not been significant.
 
  Restructuring and Other Expenses. For fiscal 1998, the Company recorded
$127,000, in net restructuring and other expenses. The restructuring costs
incurred in fiscal 1998 include $339,000 in downsizing severance payments,
$150,000 in estimated costs to close the Company's connector operation in
France, and the net reversal of $362,000 accrued in connection with the
consolidation of the thermal management operations.
 
  During the third quarter of fiscal 1998, management began the consolidation
of the connector segment's European operations. The Company's connector
operation in England will now manufacture connectors for its European
customers. However, a sales office will be maintained in France.
 
  The Company reached an agreement, during fiscal 1998, with the landlord of
the Wakefield facility to transfer its remaining lease commitment on this
facility to a lease for office space owned by the same landlord in Beverly,
Massachusetts. As part of the charge for the consolidation of its Wakefield
and Fall River, Massachusetts plants, the Company had previously provided for
the sublease of this facility at less than the Company's lease commitment. Due
to the agreement with the landlord, the Company reversed $362,000 of this
accrual. The Company does not expect to incur any additional material charges
related to this consolidation. During fiscal 1997, the Company incurred
restructuring charges of $2,494,000, which consisted of $2,028,000 related to
the consolidation of the thermal management operations and $466,000 related to
management changes and downsizing. See "Consolidation of Thermal Management
Operations" in Item 1. Description of Business--Thermal Management Segment.
 
  Interest and Other Income (Net). Interest income, which was $67,000 in
fiscal 1998 and $125,000 in fiscal 1997, was earned on cash held by the
Company. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to a
decrease in the average cash balance invested. Interest expense was $1,011,000
and $1,173,000 for fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997, respectively. This decrease
was due to a lower average borrowing base and a decrease in the average
interest rate paid on outstanding debt.
 
  Discontinued Operation. On June 20, 1997, the Company sold substantially all
of the assets and business of its hermetic connector business in Cincinnati,
Ohio, which operated under the trade name Connector Industries of America.
 
  The sales price was $2,100,000 plus the assumption by the purchaser of
certain payables and liabilities of the CIA business aggregating approximately
$120,000. The agreement provides for a potential additional payment to the
Company of up to $400,000, due in February, 1999, based on orders booked by
the buyer during the 1998 calendar year by customers of the CIA business. In
January 1999, the purchaser advised the Company that no contingent payment
will be due. The Company recognized a gain, excluding the potential additional
payment, on the sale of $610,000 during fiscal 1997.
 
 Fiscal Year 1997 versus Fiscal Year 1996 Comparison
 
  Net Income/Loss. The Company reported a net loss for the 1997 fiscal year of
$3,352,000 which included charges for restructuring and other non recurring
costs of $2,494,000, a charge for additional inventory reserves
 
                                      14

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial
Condition--continued
 
of $588,000, and a gain of $610,000 from the sale of its hermetic connector
business. This compares to net loss of $299,000 for the 1996 fiscal year which
included $406,000 of other charges.
 
  The $2,494,000 in restructuring and other charges reported in fiscal 1997
included (i) $2,028,000 related to the closing of the Company's manufacturing
facility in Wakefield, Massachusetts and the consolidation of the thermal
management operations into the Fall River, Massachusetts and Temecula,
California facilities, and (ii) $466,000 related to downsizing and management
changes throughout the Company. The additional inventory reserves were
recognized to fully reserve the costs of certain custom thermal management
products that were built in anticipation of orders that have not been
received. The $406,000 of other charges recorded in fiscal 1996 related to the
settlement of a cancelled purchase commitment, costs related to an acquisition
effort that was terminated and severance payments.
 
  The net loss from thermal management operations for fiscal 1997, before the
allocation of Alpha corporate expenses ("corporate allocation"), was
$1,786,000, inclusive of $2,028,000 related to the closing of the Wakefield
facility and $172,000 related to downsizing of the thermal management
operations. Exclusive of these charges, the thermal management business would
have reported net income of $414,000, before corporate allocation. In fiscal
1996, the thermal management segment reported net income, before corporate
allocation, of $276,000 including a charge for severance payments of $140,000.
The results of operations, excluding the aforementioned charges, decreased
primarily due to a reduction in the gross profit margin, which is discussed
below.
 
  The net loss from the connector products segment for fiscal 1997, before
corporate allocation, was $1,133,000 including $166,000 related to management
changes and downsizing. For fiscal 1996, net income from the connector
products segment, before corporate allocation, was $390,000. The decrease in
the results of operations in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996 was primarily
due to reduced revenues and gross profit, which is discussed below.
 
  Sales. The Company's sales for fiscal 1997 increased $8,595,000, or 12.8%,
to $75,665,000 from $67,070,000 for fiscal 1996. Thermal management sales
increased 19.0% to $58,294,000 for fiscal 1997 from $48,980,000 for fiscal
1996. The increase in thermal management sales was due to internal growth of
4.5% and the inclusion of $8,317,000 in sales by Lockhart, which was acquired
in August 1996. In fiscal 1996, the Company recorded revenues from Lockhart of
$1,133,000 for the 2 month period it owned this business. Internal thermal
management sales increased primarily due to higher sales of Penguin Cooler
Heat Sinks ("PGC"), which dissipate heat generated by microprocessors used in
personal computers. Sales of PGC increased approximately 15.3% in fiscal 1997
compared to fiscal 1996.
 
  Connector sales were $11,880,000 during the 1997 fiscal year compared to
$13,087,000 during the prior fiscal year, a 9.2% decrease. This decrease was
primarily caused by low backlog at the beginning of the year causing
throughput and manufacturing scheduling problems at the South Pasadena
facility. During the year, the backlog at this facility has increased from
$2.5 million to $3.9 million and management has focused on improving
productivity. The increased backlog has enabled this facility to better plan
monthly production and increase monthly shipments during the year. The backlog
has increased due to the replacement of sales representative firms not meeting
their sales commitment, instituting detailed three-day training sessions for
all sales representatives and hiring three distributors.
 
  Gross Profit. The Company's overall gross profit as a percentage of total
revenues ("gross profit percentage") for fiscal 1997 was 18.4% compared to
21.5% for 1996 fiscal year. The thermal management segment's gross profit
percentage was 18.8% and 20.6% for fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Excluding the aforementioned additional inventory reserves recorded in fiscal
1997, the company's thermal management gross profit percentage was 19.8% for
fiscal 1997. Thermal management gross profit percentage was further adversely
impacted by higher sales of PGC products, which carry a lower gross profit
margin than the average of other thermal management products, increased
aluminum costs and competitive pricing pressures.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial
Condition--continued
 
  The connector products segment's gross profit percentage decreased to 17.2%
for fiscal 1997 from 28.2% for fiscal 1996. This decrease is attributable to
the aforementioned manufacturing inefficiencies and decreased sales volume.
 
  Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense includes
the cost of enhancing existing products and, to a lesser extent, the cost of
developing new products. Research and development expenses, wholly
attributable to the thermal management segment, were $1,506,000 and $1,448,000
for fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. Excluding Lockhart, research and
development expenses for the 1997 and 1996 fiscal years were $1,107,000 and
$1,423,000, respectively. The decrease of $316,000 in research and development
expenses was primarily due to a decrease in engineering staff as well as a
decrease in licensing fees for engineering software. For fiscal 1997, the
Company received a one-year waiver of licensing fees for a software
application used in engineering.
 
  Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the year ended October 26, 1997 were $12,931,000,
or 17.1% of sales, compared to $12,344,000, or 18.4% of sales, for the year
ended October 27, 1996. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales decreased due
to the inclusion of Lockhart which has a lower SG&A percentage of sales than
the overall Company's percentage.
 
  Restructuring and Other Expenses. During fiscal 1997, the Company incurred
restructuring charges of $2,494,000, which consisted of $2,028,000 related to
the consolidation of the thermal management operations and $466,000 related to
management changes and downsizing. See "Consolidation of Thermal Management
Operations" in Item 1. Description of Business--Thermal Management Segment.
 
  Interest and Other Income (Net). Interest income, which was $125,000 in
fiscal 1997 and $213,000 in fiscal 1996, was earned on cash held at the parent
level. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to a
decrease in the average cash balance invested. Interest expense was $1,173,000
and $1,073,000 for fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996, respectively. This increase
was due to a higher average borrowing base and an increase in the interest
rate paid on outstanding debt.
 
  Discontinued Operation. On June 20, 1997, the Company sold substantially all
of the assets and business of its hermetic connector business in Cincinnati,
Ohio, which operated under the trade name Connector Industries of America
("CIA").
 
  The sales price was $2,100,000 plus the assumption by the purchaser of
certain payables and liabilities of the CIA business aggregating approximately
$120,000. The agreement provides for a potential additional payment to the
Company of up to $400,000 based on orders booked by the buyer during the 1998
calendar year by customers of the CIA business. In January 1999, the purchaser
advised the Company that no contingent payment was due. The company recognized
a gain, excluding the potential additional payment, on the sale of $610,000
during fiscal 1997.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  On October 25, 1998, the Company had, for tax purposes, remaining NOL
Carryforwards of approximately $20,223,000 available to offset future taxable
income, approximately $312,000 of unused investment and research and
development tax credits available to offset future Federal income taxes, and
approximately $230,000 of alternative minimum tax credits. The NOL
Carryforwards will expire from 1999 to 2018, the investment tax credit and
research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire from 1999 to
2005, and the alternative minimum tax credit has no expiration. All
carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal
Revenue Service. In addition, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
significantly limits the amount of NOL Carryforwards usable by a corporation
following a more than 50% change in ownership of the

corporation during a three-year period. It is possible that subsequent
transactions involving the Company's capital stock could result in such a
limitation. See "Note 11. Income Taxes" in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
 Year 2000
 
  The Company continues to use its existing staff to comprehensively review
existing systems and equipment that need to be updated or changed as a result
of the Year 2000. To date, the Company's staff has determined that some
personal computer software requires upgrading and has begun the process of
making its systems year 2000 compliant. Based on current estimates, the costs
related to these upgrades are immaterial. The Company's computerized
production equipment is also being systematically evaluated for compliance.
The Company is in contact with its vendors and customers and no major problem
has been discovered to date. In fiscal 1999, the Company will prepare a
contingency plan.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
  On October 25, 1998, the Company had cash of approximately $1,387,000
compared to $1,707,000 on October 26, 1997. Existing cash, cash provided from
operating activities, and borrowings under the Company's credit facilities
were used for purchases of capital equipment.
 
  During fiscal 1998, $2,044,000 was provided from operating activities. Cash
was primarily provided from a decrease in accounts receivable, partially
offset by a decrease in accounts payable, accrued compensation and other
liabilities. Capital equipment purchases of $5,079,000 were made to improve
manufacturing capabilities, to replace existing machinery which had reached
its end of life, and to upgrade manufacturing computer systems.
 
  Effective December 31, 1997, Wakefield, Wakefield Extrusion, Lockhart and
Malco (hereinafter referred to as "Borrowers") became parties to a loan
agreement, as amended (the "Agreement") with a commercial bank which provided
for revolving loans of up to $9,000,000, with the ability to increase upon
request to $12,000,000, and an equipment acquisition facility of $3.2 million.
The advances on the revolving loans were based on the eligible accounts
receivable and inventories of Borrowers. The advances on the equipment
acquisition facility may be used only for the purpose of funding capital
equipment purchases by the Borrowers. In addition, there are two term loans
existing under the Agreement in the original amounts of $2,250,000 and
$1,900,000. The original maturity date on this Agreement was December 31,
1999.
 
  On October 25, 1998, $8,180,000 was drawn on the revolving credit facility
with interest accruing on $7,000,000 at the relevant adjusted LIBOR rate plus
2.5% (8.188% per annum on October 25, 1998) and the remainder at the banks
prime rate plus .5% (prime plus 1% after November 12, 1998) or 8.5% per annum
on October 25, 1998. There is an unused line fee equal to .5% per annum on the
difference between $10,000,000, or $9,000,000 after January 31, 1999, and the
average daily outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans during each of
the Company's fiscal quarters payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of
each fiscal quarter. The $2,250,000 term note accrues interest at 8.75% per
annum and is payable in fifty-nine (59) equal monthly installments of $37,500
beginning December 1, 1996 and a final installment equal to all unpaid
principal on October 11, 2001, together, in each instance, with interest
thereon to the date of payment. On October 25, 1998, $1,387,500 was
outstanding on the $2,250,000 term loan. The $1,900,000 term loan accrues
interest at 8.85%, and is payable in eighty-three (83) equal monthly
installments of $22,619 beginning December 1, 1996 and a final installment
equal to all unpaid principal on October 29, 2003, together, in each instance,
with interest thereon to the date of payment. On October 25, 1998, $1,379,763
was outstanding on the $1,900,000 term note. The equipment acquisition
facility accrues interest at the banks prime rate plus .75% (8.75% per annum
on October 25, 1998) and is payable in 84 equal monthly installments of
$10,952 beginning January 1999. On October 25, 1998, $920,000 was outstanding
on the equipment acquisition facility. The obligations under the Loan
Agreement are secured by a first lien on and assignment of all of the assets
of Borrowers which in aggregate total $36,010,000.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial
Condition--continued
 
 
  As a result of the fourth quarter net loss, the Company was not in
compliance with the financial convenants included in the Agreement. In
November 1998, the Company and the commercial bank reached an agreement
whereby the Company pledged the assets of its connector subsidiary, Uni-Star,
to provide additional collateral under the Agreement. In February 1999, the
Company and the commercial bank agreed to reduce the revolving loan commitment
to $9,000,000, reduced the percentage advanced on accounts receivable and
inventory, and agreed to new covenants. The Company does not believe that
these reductions will have a material adverse effect on its business. The
Company is reviewing proposals from several lenders and is in receipt of a
commitment from one lender. The Company intends to evaluate each of the
proposals and negotiate the most favorable relationship it can obtain to
replace its current commercial lender.
 
  The Company has entered into interest swap agreements as a means of managing
its interest rate exposure. The agreements effectively fixed the interest rate
on floating rate debt at a rate of 8.75% for a notional principal amount of
$2,250,000 through November 1, 2001, and at a rate of 8.85% for a notional
principal amount of $1,900,000 through October 29, 2003. On October 25, 1998,
the carrying value of the related debt approximated the fair value of the debt
including the swap agreements. Net amounts paid or received are reflected in
interest expense.
 
  Working capital on October 25, 1998 was $9,099,000 compared to $10,331,000
on October 26, 1997. The Company believes that it will be able to replace its
current commercial lender prior to the credit facilities maturity date. With
its currently available cash, anticipated cash flow from operations and
availability under a new credit facility, the Company believes it will be able
to fund its operations in the near-term.

has neither changed accountants nor had disagreements with its accountants on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope and procedures.

Plan") pursuant to which employees of the Company, including officers and
directors who are full-time employees, may elect to contribute up to 6% of
their salaries with the Company contributing an amount equal to one-half the

also contribute certain additional amounts of their salaries to the 401-K Plan
without matching contributions by the Company. Income on the amounts held in
the 401-K Plan is not subject to Federal income tax until withdrawal. Amounts
held in the 401-K Plan are generally distributable to an employee upon normal
retirement at age 59 or upon the death or disability of the employee. The

$35,000 for effective beginning in fiscal 1997. Mr. L. Butler was not entitled
to, and did not receive, a bonus for fiscal 1998. Mr. L. Butler was granted
options to purchase 80,000 shares of the Company's common stock during the
year ended October 25, 1998.
 
  It is the Committee's policy to provide its executive officers with a
moderately competitive salary and for incentives in the form of a stock
options and cash bonuses tied to targeted earnings. The Committee believes
that Mr. L. Butler's employment agreement reflects these policies.

and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Alpha Technologies Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 26, 1997 and
October 25, 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended October 25, 1998 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The Financial Statement
Schedules listed in Part II-Item 8 are presented for purposes of complying
with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not a required
part of the basic consolidated financial statements. The Financial Statement
Schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits
of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
  Alpha Technologies Group, Inc. ("Alpha" or the "Company") primarily derives
its revenues from two business segments: thermal management and connectors.
Thermal management products, principally heat sinks, which dissipate heat
generated by electronic components, serve the microprocessor, computer,
consumer electronics, transportation, automotive, industrial controls, factory
automation power supply, aerospace and defense industries. Sub-miniature,
micro-miniature and ultra-miniature connectors and cable and/or wire harness
connector assemblies, the majority of which are custom manufactured to meet
rigid specifications, serve the aerospace, communications, defense, factory
automation, industrial controls, medical electronics, scientific/process
instrumentation and test/measurement industries. In addition, the Company
operates a business that designs, fabricates and tests custom designed
electronic systems for the military, telecommunications industry and certain
commercial markets.
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alpha and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated. These changes had no impact on previously reported
results of operations or stockholders' equity. As more fully described in Note
3--Discontinued Operation, prior years numbers have been restated, through
reclassification, to discontinue the hermetic connector business sold in
June 1997.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment to the customer.
 
 Use of Estimates and Other Uncertainties
 
  The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, trade
receivables, trade payables and debt instruments. The book values of these
instruments are considered to be representative of their respective fair
values.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  The cost of property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line
method for financial reporting purposes over the estimated useful lives of
such assets, ranging from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term.

1. Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)
 
 Goodwill
 
  Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired and is being amortized over 15 years using the straight-line method.
The accumulated amortization on October 26, 1997 and October 25, 1998 was
approximately $632,000 and $863,000, respectively. Amortization expense of
approximately $209,000, $248,000 and $231,000 was recorded in fiscals 1996,
1997 and 1998, respectively.
 
 Stock-Based Compensation
 
  The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123, "Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation" during October 1995. The new standard establishes a
fair value approach to valuing stock options awarded to its employees as
compensation. The Company has elected, as permitted by the new standard, to
continue to follow its intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock
options consistent with Accounting Principals Board No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" (APB25). The intrinsic method measures compensation
cost for stock options as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of
the Company's stock at the measurement date over the exercise price.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," ("Statement
109") on November 1, 1993. Under the asset and liability method of Statement
109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current enacted
tax rates. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of
operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
 Foreign Currency Translation
 
  Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated
into U. S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet
date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate
for the period in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation".
Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
 
 Interest Rate Swap Agreement
 
  The Company has entered into interest swap agreements as a means of managing
its interest rate exposure. The agreements effectively fixed the interest rate
on floating rate debt at a rate of 8.75% for a notional principal amount of
$2,250,000 through November 1, 2001, and at a rate of 8.85% for a notional
principal amount of $1,900,000 through October 29, 2003. On October 25, 1998,
the carrying value of the related debt approximated the fair value of the debt
including the swap agreements. Net amounts paid or received are reflected in
interest expense.
 
 New Accounting Pronouncements
 
  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Number 130 ("SFAS 130")
"Reporting Comprehensive Income"; and in February 1998, FASB issued SFAS 132
"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits".
The Company is required to adopt these standards for its fiscal year 1999.
Management believes that the adoption of SFAS 130 and SFAS 132 in fiscal 1999
will not have a material effect on the preparation of and results of the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The Company is required to adopt this for fiscal its
year 2000. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have a
material effect on the preparation of and the results of the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions
 
  On September 3, 1996, the Company purchased the 20% minority interest of
Uni-Star Industries, Inc. ("Uni-Star") for 265,000 shares of its common stock.
Uni-Star is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
  On August 21, 1996, the Company, through a newly-organized, wholly-owned
subsidiary, Lockie Acquisition Corp. ("LAC"), purchased all of the outstanding
stock of Lockhart Industries, Inc. ("LII"), a thermal management company,
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 14, 1996 (the
"Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued
280,556 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of LII. Based upon decreases in LII's working capital
prior to the acquisition and collection of accounts receivable, the purchase
price was reduced by 73,149 shares of the Company's common stock. The number
of shares issued was subject to increase in the event that the Company's
common stock was not trading at $9 or more two years from the date of closing.
Accordingly, on September 23, 1998, the Company issued an additional 148,271
shares of its common stock. Following the merger, the Company transferred all
of LAC's shares to Wakefield Engineering, Inc. ("Wakefield"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and changed LAC's name to Lockhart Industries, Inc.
("Lockhart"). In addition, Wakefield paid off an aggregate of $506,000 of
LII's debt. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction, as
such, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The operating results of Lockhart have been included in the Company's
consolidated results of operations since its acquisition.
 
3. Discontinued Operation
 
  In June 1997, substantially all of the assets and business of the Company's
hermetic connector business in Ohio were sold for $2,100,000, with a potential
additional payment on February 15, 1999 of up to $400,000 based on orders
booked by the buyer. In January 1999, the purchaser advised the Company that
no contingent payment will be due The sale resulted in a gain of approximately
$610,000, net of income tax expense of $12,000 and reserves primarily related
to leased premises. The results of operations for the Company's hermetic
connector business are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements as discontinued operation.
 
   Summary operating results of the discontinued operation prior to the
   sale are as follows for the fiscal years ended:

6. Debt and Revolving Credit Facilities--(Continued)
 
  Effective December 31, 1997, Wakefield, Wakefield Extrusion, Lockhart and
Malco (hereinafter referred to as "Borrowers") became parties to a loan
agreement, as amended (the "Agreement") with a commercial bank which provided
for revolving loans of up to $9,000,000, with the ability to increase upon
request to $12,000,000, and an equipment acquisition facility of $3.2 million.
The advances on the revolving loans were based on the eligible accounts
receivable and inventories of Borrowers. The advances on the equipment
acquisition facility may be used only for the purpose of funding capital
equipment purchases by the Borrowers. In addition, there are two term loans
existing under the Agreement in the original amounts of $2,250,000 and
$1,900,000. The original maturity date on this Agreement was December 31,
1999.
 
  On October 25, 1998, $8,180,000 was drawn on the revolving credit facility
with interest accruing on $7,000,000 at the relevant adjusted LIBOR rate plus
2.5% (8.188% per annum on October 25, 1998) and the remainder at the banks
prime rate plus .5% (prime plus 1% after November 12, 1998) 8.5% per annum on
October 25, 1998. There is an unused line fee equal to .5% per annum on the
difference between $10,000,000, or $9,000,000 after January 31, 1999, and the
average daily outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans during each of
the Company's fiscal quarters payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of
each fiscal quarter. The $2,250,000 term note accrues interest at 8.75% per
annum and is payable in fifty-nine (59) equal monthly installments of $37,500
beginning December 1, 1996 and a final installment equal to all unpaid
principal on October 11, 2001, together, in each instance, with interest
thereon to the date of payment. On October 25, 1998, $1,387,500 was
outstanding on the $2,250,000 term loan. The $1,900,000 term loan accrues
interest at 8.85%, and is payable in eighty-three (83) equal monthly
installments of $22,619 beginning December 1, 1996 and a final installment
equal to all unpaid principal on October 29, 2003, together, in each instance,
with interest thereon to the date of payment. On October 25, 1998, $1,379,763
was outstanding on the $1,900,000 term note. The equipment acquisition
facility accrues interest at the banks prime rate plus .75% (8.75% per annum
on October 25, 1998) and is payable in 84 equal monthly installments of
$10,952 beginning January 1999. On October 25, 1998, $920,000 was outstanding
on the equipment acquisition facility. The obligations under the Loan
Agreement are secured by a first lien on and assignment of all of the assets
of Borrowers which in aggregate total $36,010,000.
 
  As a result of the fourth quarter net loss, the Company was not in
compliance with the financial covenants included in the Agreement. In November
1998, the Company and the commercial bank reached an agreement whereby the
Company pledged the assets of its connector subsidiary, Uni-Star, to provide
additional collateral under the Agreement. In February 1999, the Company and
the commercial bank agreed to reduce the revolving loan commitment to
$9,000,000, to reduce the percentage advanced on accounts receivable and
inventory, and agreed to new covenants. The Company does not believe that
these reductions will have a material adverse effect on its business. The
Company is reviewing proposals from several lenders and is in receipt of a
commitment from one lender. The Company intends to evaluate each of the
proposals and negotiate the most favorable relationship it can obtain to
replace its current commercial lender.
 
  Cash paid for interest on all outstanding debt amounted to approximately
$898,000 in fiscal year 1996, approximately $1,172,000 in fiscal year 1997 and
approximately $1,011,000 in fiscal year 1998.

  In October of 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a reduction in the
exercise price of each outstanding, unvested option to purchase shares of
common stock granted in fiscal 1996, to an amount equal to the fair market
value of the common stock on such date. The re-pricing has been treated as the
surrender and cancellation of outstanding stock options in conjunction with
the grant of replacement options with an exercise price of $4.56 per share.
 
  On October 21, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the replacement of
options for certain outstanding options issued to employees, who were not
executive officers or directors of the Company, subject to the election by the
employee. The replacement options will have an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the common stock on such date and would vest 1/3
immediately and the remainder over two years. Since the replacement requires
an election by the optionee, the above tables and accompanying information do
not reflect any replacements during fiscal year 1998. The replacements will be
reflected at the time the optionee's election is received by the Company.

9. Stock Option Plans--(Continued)
 
  On January 15, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an
increase in the shares issuable under the 1994 Stock Option Plan by 325,000
which was subsequently approved by shareholder vote. In addition, on April 21,
1998, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 1994 Stock Option Plan to
provide for an automatic grant of 10,000 options to each non-employee director
at the annual meetings held in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Such options will be
exercisable at the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, will
vest in one year, and will be exercisable for five years from the date of
grant.
 
  For fiscal 1998, $47,000 was recognized as expense for options issued to
non-employees under the Company's stock option plans. Pro forma information
regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123 and has
been determined as if the Company has accounted for options issued to
employees under the fair value method of that statement. The fair value of
these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for
fiscal 1996 and 1997: expected volatility 47.39%, risk free interest rate of
6%, expected option life of 5 years, and no expected dividends. The weighted
average assumptions used for fiscal 1998 were: expected volatility 51.72%,
risk free interest rate of 5.11%, expected option life of 4.5 years, and no
expected dividends. In addition, adjustments were made for assumed
cancellations.
 
  The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock
options.
 
  For pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is
amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. If the fair value based
method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied, the Company's net
loss and net loss per share would have been increased by approximately
$228,000, or $0.04 per share, in fiscal 1996, $325,000, or $0.05 per share, in
fiscal 1997, and $472,000, or $0.07 per share, in fiscal 1998. The estimated
weighted average fair value of options granted during fiscal 1996, 1997 and
fiscal 1998 was $4.16, $1.97, and $1.63, respectively. This pro forma
information is not meant to be representative of the effects on reported net
income for future years, because as provided by SFAS 123, only the effects of
awards granted after the Company's 1995 fiscal year are considered in the pro
forma calculation.
 
10. Net Loss Per Share
 
  Net loss per common share was computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during each year. For fiscal year 1996,
1997 and 1998, common equivalent shares were not considered in the computation
as their effect would have been antidilutive.

  Due to the Company's historical results of operations, a valuation allowance
has been provided for the deferred tax assets. Because the Company generated
taxable income and was able to utilize net operating loss carryforwards during
fiscal 1994 and 1995 and forecasted future profitability which increased the
likelihood of the future realization of the net deferred tax asset, the
Company reversed $1,360,000 and $1,820,000, respectively, of the valuation
allowance. During fiscal 1998 the increase in the net deferred tax asset was
the result of $819,000 related to the tax effects of temporary differences
which were entirely offset by an increase in the valuation allowance.
 
  On October 25, 1998, the Company had, for tax purposes, net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $20,223,000, unused investment and research and
development tax credits of approximately $312,000, and $230,000 of alternative
minimum tax credits available to offset future taxable income and Federal
income taxes. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 1999 to
2018, the investment tax credit and research and development tax credit
carryforwards will expire from 1999 to 2005, and the alternative minimum tax
credit has no expiration.
 
  All carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the
Internal Revenue Service. In compliance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
investment tax credits carried forward were reduced by 35%. The Company's
ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards to offset alternative
minimum taxable income is limited to 90% for tax years after fiscal 1987.
 
  Additionally, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the amounts of
net operating loss carryforwards usable by a corporation following a more than
50 percentage point change in ownership of the corporation during a three-year
period. It is possible that subsequent transactions involving the Company's
capital stock could result in such a limitation. As of October 25, 1998,
Management does not believe that a 50 percentage point change in ownership has
occurred during a three year period.
 
  During fiscal year 1996, cash paid for income taxes amounted to
approximately $194,000.
