statements reflect all adjustments "consisting of only normal accruals"
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of
May 31, 1999 and the Consolidated Statement of earnings for the three months
ended May 31, 1999 and 1998.

NOTE E - LINES OF CREDIT

During early 1998, the Company refinanced its loan agreement ("Agreement") to
provide for a $4,500,000 line of credit with its primary bank and $3,500,000
with a second bank secured by substantially all assets of the Company.  In
conjunction with this refinancing, the Company borrowed $2,800,000 from the CEO
to pay down the original line of credit.  The Company amended its Primary Line
to extend the termination date to July 1, 2000 and to lower the interest rate to
a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum. The commitment fee of 1/2% on the unused
portion of the Primary line was also eliminated.  All other terms of the Primary
Line remained the same as the original line of credit.  The Secondary Line was
extended to July 31, 1999 with the interest rate and all other terms remaining
the same, including a commitment fee of  1/2% charged on the unused portion.
Borrowings under the Lines are limited by eligible accounts receivable and
inventory, as defined.  As of May 31, 1999, the outstanding balances on the
Primary Line and Secondary Line were $4,839,000 and $2,970,000, respectively.
The additional availability under the Primary and Secondary Lines were $661,000
and $59,000, respectively as of May 31, 1999.  The Line agreements contain
affirmative and negative covenants including requirements related to tangible
net worth, indebtedness to tangible net worth and cash flow coverage.
Additionally, dividend payments, capital expenditures and acquisitions have
certain restrictions.

In May 1999, the Company increased the Primary Line by $1,000,000 to $5,500,000.

The Company does not anticipate problems renewing the line of credit with the
second bank.

Net Sales
---------

Consolidated net sales increased 16.5% or $2,487,000 for the three months ended
May 31, 1999 as compared to the same period one year ago. CRT division sales
were up 41.1% or $3,746,000 and the wholesale consumer electronic parts division
sales were down 21.3% or $1,259,000.

The net increase in revenues of the CRT division is attributed to the Company's
acquisitions and start up locations transacted subsequent to the first quarter
of fiscal 1999.  The new facilities added $4,998,000 to CRT sales in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 over the same period a year ago. There were offsetting
declines within the data display, television, monitor and electron gun and
component segments.  These declines are due to several factors including the
completion of a large data display military contract in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999.  Fiscal 1999 included a higher volume of sales to one television
customer due to a high fill rate of backorders.  Fiscal 2000 reflects a return
to normal sales levels for that customer.  Monitor sales, excluding
acquisitions, were down slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2000  as Z-Axis
completed its move into its newly constructed facility.

                                       12
<PAGE>

The decline in revenues from the wholesale consumer electronic parts segment is
attributed to a reduction in sales to major electronics distributors during the
periods compared.  The Company is seeking other opportunities to increase higher
margin consumer electronic sales including a voice activated electronic parts
ordering system and implementation of a world wide web parts inquiry and order
system.

Gross margins
-------------

Consolidated gross profit margins decreased from 37% to 32.1% for the quarter
May 31, 1998 compared to May 31, 1999.  The CRT division posted an decrease from
38.3% to 29.6% while the wholesale consumer parts division increased from 34.5%
to 39.1% for the comparable periods.

The CRT margins are lower in the comparative quarters primarily due to the
addition of the new locations, most of whom operated at lower margins than the
CRT division has typically incurred.  These margins should begin to improve as
the Company allocates resources and eliminates duplicate overhead.

Operating expenses
------------------

Operating expenses increased $654,000 or 16.9% from a year ago, but as a
percentage of sales the remained flat.  Excluding the operating expenses
incurred by the new locations, expenses would have reflected a decline of
$445,000.

Interest expense
----------------

Interest expense increased $154,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared
to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase of expense is attributed to
the increased borrowings incurred as the result of the Company's acquisitions in
the 4th quarter of fiscal 1999.

Income taxes
------------

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was 45% compared to
39.1% for the same period one year ago.  The major portion of this increase is
related to the losses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 of the
Company's European subsidiaries for which a benefit has not been reflected.

Foreign currencies
------------------

During 1998 the Company began reporting its Mexican subsidiary on the basis that
the functional currency is the US dollar.  Any exchange gains or losses are
reflected in the Company's income statements.  There were no significant gains
or losses for the current period reported.

Liquidity and capital resources
-------------------------------

The Company's working capital was $27,477,000 at May 31, 1999 compared to
$17,148,000 at May 31, 1998.  $7,556,000 of the increase of $10,329,000 is due
to the acquisition of assets completed in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  The
balance of the increase is related to ongoing operations increasing inventory,
collecting receivables and reducing operating liabilities without increasing
lines of credit.

The Company does not anticipate significant capital expenditues for fiscal 2000.
