ITEM 1   BUSINESS

DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

     Initially formed in November 1980, under the name Sinex Corp., Sentex
Sensing Technology, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company"), commenced
the commercial production of a portable explosives detector of its own design,
the T-54. In April 1984, the Company sold, in its initial public offering,
25,000,000 Common Shares, no par value of the Company (the "Common Shares").
Through fiscal 1996, the Company generally conducted the operations of its
business through Sentex Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Systems").

     On March 1, 1996, certain shareholders of the Company sold a substantial
portion of their shares to CPS Capital, Ltd., an Ohio limited liability company,
("CPS"). As a result of such acquisition, CPS has become the principal
shareholder of the Company. CPS is controlled by Robert S. Kendall, the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

     Effective November 30, 1996, Monitek Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Monitek") became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
pursuant to a merger (the "Merger") of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
with and into Monitek. Monitek is now operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. Monitek also operates a portion of its business through a wholly
owned German subsidiary of Monitek named Monitek GmbH, which over the last three
years has accounted for approximately 60% of Monitek's total revenues. Monitek
designs, develops, assembles and markets instruments for the measurement of
clarity (turbidity), suspended solids content, color, purity, flow, level and
volume of liquids in industrial and waste water environments.

     In March 1998, the Company purchased Cypress Instruments, Inc. ("Cypress")
for the purpose of acquiring a new product line that is currently under
development and, upon completion, is intended to be folded into the Monitek
product line.

     On September 4, 1998, the Company completed the sale of all of the
outstanding capital stock of Systems to ALR Group Incorporated ("ALR"), which is
principally owned by Amos Linenberg ("Linenberg"). Prior to the sale, Linenberg
was the President of Systems and an Executive Vice President of the Company. In
the past, Linenberg has been a principal shareholder of the Company and served
as a director of the Company.


DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSES OF MONITEK

     General

     Monitek designs, develops, assembles and markets instruments for the
measurement of clarity (turbidity), suspended solids content, color, purity,
flow, level and volume of liquids in industrial and waste water environments.
Monitek's products are typically used in-line (i.e., inserted directly into the
monitored liquid), thereby facilitating automation and control of various
industrial processes by providing on-line (i.e., continuous) measurement of the
characteristic being monitored. Monitek's current line of products, which are
based on optical, ultrasonic, acoustic and magnetic technologies, have been
specially adapted for various applications in the chemical and petrochemical,
water treatment, food and beverage, pulp and paper, and biotechnology and
pharmaceutical industries, where their abilities to withstand high temperature,
extremes in pressure and corrosive environments are important factors. The
Company believes Monitek's instruments are capable of adaptation and enhancement
for use in other industries, as well as for additional applications in those
industries which Monitek currently serves. Monitek's products are currently sold
worldwide.

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

     Existing Products

     Monitek's products consist of optical based products, non-optical based
products and spare parts of its optical and non-optical based products.

     (i)  Optical Based Products. The heart of Monitek's product line are
suspended solids analyzers, which are in-line monitors that measure clarity,
suspended solids content and purity of liquids. Monitek's two major types of
suspended solids analyzers, which operate on the same basic principle, are
turbidimeters and concentration/content monitors. The suspended solids analyzers
work on the principle of light scatter and/or absorption. Light is emitted by
the instrument and photosensors detect the amount of light that is either
scattered or absorbed by the solids in the liquid. This information is
transmitted to a remote electronic indicating transmitter device, which displays
the data on a scale of the characteristic being monitored and retransmits the
information to a control computer or data logger. Many of Monitek's transmitters
offer alarm features while others eliminate false readings caused by bubbles or
signal an abnormal sample. The sales prices of suspended solids analyzers range
from $4,000 to $10,000 per system.

     Monitek's suspended solids analyzers are available in a wide range of sizes
and configurations to meet customer requirements. Monitek's basic instruments
can also be specially adapted for particular applications with the addition of
available options. Certain instruments are designed to be "explosion proof,"
(i.e., the instrument is enclosed in such a way as to prevent internal
electrical or chemical reactions from igniting explosive mixtures existing in
the atmosphere surrounding the encased instrument, and have been approved for
the use in explosive environments by Underwriters' Laboratories (U.L.)). This
characteristic is of a particular importance in the petrochemical industry.
Other instruments are adapted to be watertight and dust-tight to protect the
equipment against splashing, seeping or falling water and severe external
condensation, while others are adapted to withstand high temperatures, extremes
in pressure and corrosion for applications in such industries as the chemical
and pulp and paper industries. An example of an adaptation for a particular
application is a line of Monitek's suspended solids analyzers-Cleansimatic
Liquid Analysis Meters (CLAM), which employ a mechanical self-cleaning apparatus
designed to eliminate the problem of fouling inherent in wastewater treatment
applications.

     Monitek has developed a number of insertable in-line sensors for
measurement of consistency, for use in various industries. One of the sensors is
called the Cell Density Analyzer, for measurement of cell growth rate and
concentration in fermentation processes. Fermentation is a major process used in
the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and the instrument provides a
continuous measurement relative to cell growth. Unlike Monitek's original line
of suspended solids analyzers, which require accessories fitted to the actual
pipe size to which the instrument is attached, the insertable fiber optic
sensors are capable of being inserted into any size pipe through special
fittings. The advantage of such devices over conventional suspended solids
analyzers is their ability to provide the customer with an easier, more
cost-effective means of installation and servicing, in that it does not require
shutting down the process flow of the liquid or extensive structural work often
necessary with the non-insertable products.

     A second optical-based product line is color monitors, which are used to
measure the difference in the absorption of light through a liquid at two
wavelengths. This measurement is indicative of color or concentration. To date,
these instruments have been sold primarily to petrochemical refineries where the
avoidance of color in the final product is essential. Monitek's color monitors
also have application in the processes of color addition and color removal in
such industrial liquids as printing inks, sugar, vegetable oil, beverages and
solvents. Color monitors use photosensors and optical filters that detect the
amount of light absorbed by the pertinent wavelength or color. Sales prices of
color monitors range from $6,000 to $14,000 per system.

     (ii) Non-Optical-Based Products. Monitek currently markets two
non-optical-based products. The first is the Micro Pure ultrasonic suspended
solids meter, the third significant non-optical based product line, has allowed
Monitek to expand into new markets and improve its effectiveness in existing
markets. The acoustic technique allows the low range measurement of suspended
solids and emulsions independent of color and coating. Significant opportunities
exist for measuring oil in water, inks, dyes and photographic liquids, all of
which have been difficult

                                       4

<PAGE>   5

measurements for Monitek's optical products because of the lack of light and/or
existence of substances (i.e., oil) which coat the optical parts. Micro Pure
products range in price from $10,000 to $16,000 per system.

     The second non-optical based product is an insertable magnetic flowmeter, a
device that measures flow of liquids in closed pipes. The flow of the measured
liquid through the sensor's magnetic field creates a voltage proportional to the
flow. This voltage is sensed, amplified and combined with the cross-sectional
area of the pipe to produce a flow measurement. Monitek's magnetic flowmeters,
which range in price from $4,000 to $6,000, have applications in water
distribution, water treatment and pulp and paper plants.

     (iii) Spare Parts. Sales of spare parts is an important part of Monitek's
business, accounting for approximately 15% of sales volume of Monitek for the
past three years.

     Products Under Development

     Research and development activities of Monitek are primarily devoted to the
development of new products and the adaptation and enhancement of existing
products for new applications. The Company plans to make available a number of
new products and enhancements of existing Monitek products during fiscal 1999.
One of the new products is the result of the acquisition of Cypress. This
product consists of an insertable in-line sensor and a micro-processor based
transmitter, and was originally designed for specific use in the Produced Water
(oil production) industry, for which a number of units have already been sold.
Subsequent to the acquisition, management made the decision to make further
modifications to the transmitter for the purpose of making it compatible with
the Company's other optical based sensors, both present and future. As a result,
the official release of the product was delayed for several months. The Company
now estimates that the product will be available for sale in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999.

     Research and Development

     Monitek expended approximately $118,000 and $230,000 for research and
development during the fiscal years ended November 30, 1998 ("fiscal 1998") and
November 30, 1997 (the "fiscal 1997"), respectively. During fiscal 1998, a
number of products were improved but no new products were released for
production. However, a low-cost Nephelometer for the Potable Water and Waste
Water industries, which was designed and produced by a company in Germany, was
introduced into the European marketplace and an improved version of the product
is expected to be introduced into the United States during the second quarter of
fiscal 1999.

     Marketing, Distribution and Sales

     Monitek markets its products on a world-wide basis, with particular
emphasis on the United States and Continental Europe. Monitek employs three
regional sales managers, who oversee and monitor approximately 60 independent
sales representatives worldwide, with about half of such representatives selling
in the United States and the other half selling internationally. The Company has
begun to integrate the sales and marketing aspects of both Sentex and Monitek
into one domestic and one international marketing and distribution system. The
system has generally been modeled after the system previously employed by
Monitek.

     Manufacturing/Suppliers

     Monitek's manufacturing operations primarily involve the assembly, testing,
quality control and packaging of materials and components, which are generally
available in the market place from numerous suppliers and sources. Material and
components necessary for Monitek's manufacturing activities have always been
available, and Monitek does not anticipate any future shortages or
unavailability of such materials and components.

     Monitek's inventory is comprised primarily of parts to make sub-assemblies,
fully assembled instruments and materials required to adapt instruments for
particular applications and customer specifications. Monitek attempts

                                       5

<PAGE>   6

to maintain a sufficient inventory of materials and components it may fill
orders for its products within four to eight weeks after receipt of an order.

     Warranties and Disclaimers

     Monitek typically warrants its products for a period of one year after
shipment and passes along any warranties from original manufacturers of
components used in its products. To date, Monitek has not had any significant
claims pursuant to warranties. Monitek provides for its own equipment servicing
for certain products with in-house field service personnel.

     Competition

     Monitek sells products which have use in a wide variety of applications in
many industrial and municipal markets. Monitek faces competition in each market
to which it sells products from companies which sell products that are
substantially similar to, or which perform comparable functions as, those sold
by Monitek. McNabb, Wedgewood Technologies, Optek, BTG, Hach and Sigrist are
Monitek's principle competitors which sell products using the same or similar
technologies as those of Monitek. Valmet Automation Inc., Royce Instruments and
Kay-Ray Inc. sell devices based on mechanical, ultrasound and nuclear
technologies which compete with certain of the products sold by Monitek. Certain
of Monitek's competitors have production facilities in Europe and consequently
may not be subject to the same fluctuations in the value of the United States
dollar as Monitek is with respect to its German subsidiary. All of such
companies, and many smaller entities that specialize in a limited number of
products competitive with those of Monitek, have financial, marketing and other
resources substantially greater than those of Monitek.

     Monitek believes that the most significant competitive factors with respect
to the industrial market are technical performance and adaptability, quality,
maintenance and service, while price is the major competitive factor for the
municipal market. Monitek believes it has a competitive advantage in its ability
to service numerous market segments while other companies, other than BTG,
service only a limited market. Accordingly, a salesperson or distributor calling
on an industrial company which has a liquid-based product or uses water in its
manufacturing process will generally have a number of Monitek's products in its
line which it could sell.

     Patents, Trademarks and Trade Secrets

     Monitek has obtained 11 United States patents and a number of foreign
patents covering fundamental technology and applications of use of the Micro
Pure product line and some other potential products. Monitek has also obtained a
United States patent and several foreign patents for its Cell Density Analyzer.

     Monitek believes that trade secrets and unpatented proprietary knowledge
used to adapt its products for specific industries and applications is of
greater importance to the development of its competitive position than patents.
All of Monitek's employees have entered into confidentiality agreements and have
agreed to assign to Monitek any inventions relating to Monitek's business made
by them while in Monitek's employ. However, there can be no assurance that
others may not acquire or independently develop similar technologies which will
enable them to more effectively compete with Monitek.

     While Monitek believes that none of its instruments infringes upon patents
or other proprietary rights of others, there is a possibility that other parties
may claim that parts of Monitek's instruments do infringe upon their patents or
other proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that Monitek will be
successful in defending against such claims of infringement, and the expenses of
defending such claims could be substantial.

     Monitek has obtained registered trademarks for the names "Monitek", "CLAM"
and "Micro Pure" and the Monitek and Micro Pure logos.

     Employees

     As of February 25, 1999, the Company employed a total of 24 full-time
staff, 3 of whom were engaged in product design and engineering, 10 were engaged
in manufacturing and production, 7 were engaged in marketing and sales and 4
were engaged in general corporate and administrative positions. The Company also
had 3 part time employees and 1 temporary employee. The Company's ability to
develop, manufacture, market and sell products and to establish and maintain its
competitive position will depend, in large part, on its ability to attract and
retain qualified personnel. None of the Company's employees is represented by a
union. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are
satisfactory.

     Government Regulations

     The Company complies with a number of government regulations, including
environmental regulations. The cost of such compliance is not significant. The
Company has routinely received all governmental approvals necessary to conduct
its business.

ITEM 2   PROPERTIES

     Monitek's manufacturing operations occupy approximately 23,500 square feet
of leased space in Hayward, California. In addition, Monitek conducts corporate
accounting, sales and research and development functions in California. The
lease provides for a base annual rental of approximately $149,000 and expires in
November 1999.

     Monitek also leases approximately 6,000 square feet of office and warehouse
space in Dusseldorf, Germany pursuant to a lease that expires in October 2001,
and provides for a base annual rental of $85,000, based on the rate of exchange
in effect at November 30, 1998.

     The Company believes that these facilities are adequate to provide for the
Company's business needs during the remaining terms of the respective leases.

ITEM 3   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     There are no material lawsuits pending, or to the Company's knowledge,
threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

ITEM 6    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOUR" OF THE PRIVATE
                    SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

     Certain statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and the Financial Statements included in
this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, in the Company's press releases and in oral
statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer of
the Company constitute "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These may include
statements projecting, forecasting or estimating Company performance and
industry trends. The achievement of the projections, forecasts or estimates is
subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results and events may differ
materially from those projected, forecasted or estimated. The applicable risks
and uncertainties include general economic and industry conditions that affect
all businesses, as well as matters that are specific to the Company and the
markets it serves.

     General risks that may impact the achievement of such forecasts include
compliance with new laws and regulations; significant raw material price
fluctuations; currency exchange rate fluctuations; business cycles; and
political uncertainties. Specific risks to the Company include an inability of
the Company to finance its working capital needs; an inability of the Company to
successfully integrate the business of Sentex and Monitek; a risk of recession
in the economies in which its products are sold, such as the Chemical or
Petroleum industries; and new or emerging products from current competitors. In
light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking
statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that
the Company's plans and objectives will be achieved.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working Capital and Liquidity

     During the last several fiscal years, the Company has incurred losses from
operations. In addition, the Company's certified public accountants,
Hausser+Taylor LLP, have included in their auditors' report, which covers the
Company's financial statements for the years ended November 30, 1997 and
November 30, 1998, a statement that the Company's recurring losses from
operations raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Subsequently, for fiscal 1998, the Company has sustained losses
of approximately $2,205,000. These losses have had a substantial adverse effect
on the working capital of the Company.

     Working capital decreased to negative $1,823,000 at November 30, 1998 as
compared to $308,000 as of November 30, 1997. The decrease is mainly due to the
losses sustained by the Company during fiscal 1998 and the accrued expense
incurred in connection with the Cypress acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents
equaled approximately $111,000 as of November 30, 1998 as compared to $1,332,000
at November 30, 1997. As set forth in the accompanying independent auditors'
report and notes to consolidated financial statements, the Company's recurring
losses from operations and the resulting effect on cash flow have reduced the
Company's liquidity to its current level, which raises substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

     To address the Company's immediate working capital needs, the Company has
established a bank line of credit of $2,000,000 and has borrowed an aggregate of
$1,880,400 as of November 30, 1998. This line of credit is secured by the
personal guarantee of Robert S. Kendall, the Chairman of the Company. From time
to time, CPS has provided the Company with temporary working capital loans and,
as of November 30, 1998, there was an outstanding borrowing of $551,000 on such
loans. As a result of the acquisition of Cypress, the Company is obligated to
make payments to the shareholders of Cypress (for payment of shares and
performing future consulting services) of approximately $535,000 over the next
four fiscal years. Approximately $246,000 of such amounts are payable in fiscal
1999. On February 16, 1999, a payment of $150,000 became due under the terms of
the Cypress purchase agreement but the Company has not yet made such payment.
The former shareholders of Cypress have sent the Company a notice of default.
The Company has indicated that it will make payment to the Cypress shareholders
before the end of April 1999. There are currently no

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

material commitments anticipated for capital expenditures during fiscal 1999.
The Company will continue to seek growth through internal means as well as
further acquisitions. In the event an acquisition candidate were identified, the
Company would need to seek additional financing.

     To address the Company's working capital needs on a more long-term basis,
the Company will attempt to generate cash from internal operations of the
Company. To control the operating losses attributable to Systems, which totaled
approximately $700,000 during fiscal 1998, the Company sold Systems to ALR. In
addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 and the first quarter of
fiscal 1999, the Company's management has made other significant reductions in
operating expense. The Company estimates that these measures will save the
Company approximately $50,000 per month.

     The Company also hopes that the offering of three new products during
fiscal 1999 will increase both sales and gross margin percentage, because they
will be less expensive to produce. (See Item 1).

Net Operating Losses; IC-DISC

     The Company has approximately $10,751,000 in net operating losses as of
fiscal 1998, which will expire at various dates through the year 2018 that are
mainly attributable to losses incurred by Monitek. Federal tax law imposes
restrictions on the use of net operating loss carry-forwards in the event of a
change in ownership, such as a merger. Due to the Merger, approximately
$6,625,000 of the $10,751,000 net operating losses may be subject to these
limitations and potentially may not be able to provide any economic benefit to
the Company.

     As of April 1, 1991, Monitek's IC-DISC, Monitek International, Inc., was
effectively terminated. As a result, Monitek had begun repatriation of the
undistributed earnings of the IC-DISC as of April 1, 1991. The undistributed
earnings of approximately $780,000 has been and will continue to be recognized
as income, for tax return purposes, over the 10-year period ending March 31,
2001.

RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS

     Fiscal 1998 as Compared to Fiscal 1997

     The Company's net sales decreased by 26%, from $7,505,000 for fiscal 1997
to $5,590,000 for fiscal 1998. Sales of Systems products decreased by $848,000,
or 71%, primarily as a result of the Company's inability to effectively
integrate the sale of Systems products into Monitek's distribution channels and
the fact that the Company is only reporting sales of Systems products for the
seven months of fiscal 1998 as a result of the sale of Systems to ALR , as noted
above. Monitek's domestic sales decreased by $32,000, or 2%, while export sales
from the United States decreased by $423,000, or 52%, primarily as a result of a
very sharp drop-off in orders from Asian countries, most notably Japan. Sales to
Continental Europe by Monitek GmbH decreased by $612,000 from fiscal 1997 to
fiscal 1998, primarily as a result of weakness in the European economy and an
increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the German Deutsche Mark
(the "DM"). The actual decrease in sales in Monitek GmbH's native currency, the
DM, was 14% but the decrease in U.S. Dollars, after converting the sales figures
by the average exchange rate for each period, amounted to 18%.

     Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, increased to 50% for fiscal
1998 from 47% for fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of the decrease in sales
without a corresponding reduction in direct labor and factory overhead. Direct
labor and overhead increased to 13% of net sales for fiscal 1998 from 10% for
fiscal 1997, while material costs remained constant at 37% of net sales.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $4,494,000, or
80% of net sales, for fiscal 1998 from $5,463,000, or 73% of net sales, for
fiscal 1997. Sales commissions decreased to $1,009,000 from $1,307,000 as a
direct result of the decrease in net sales. Cost reduction measures in the U.S.,
which were implemented by management during the second half of fiscal 1997,
resulted in a decrease of approximately $360,000 for fiscal 1998 as compared to
fiscal 1997. The sale of Systems to ALR resulted in a reduction in expenses of
approximately $210,000 during the second half of fiscal 1998. Interest expense
increased to $236,000 for fiscal 1998 from $172,000 for fiscal 1997 as a result
of increased bank and other borrowings. Foreign currency transactions between
Monitek and its foreign subsidiary resulted in a gain of $45,000 for fiscal 1998
compared to a loss of $99,000 for fiscal 1997, as a result of fluctuations in
the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the DM.

                                       10

<PAGE>   11
     Research and development expenses decreased to $218,000 for fiscal 1998
from $406,000 for fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of the elimination of
Systems engineering expenses for the second half of fiscal 1998, a decrease in
activities by outside consultants and the elimination of one engineering
position at Monitek.


     During fiscal 1998, the Company experienced a one-time $423,000 loss on
disposal of assets as a result of the sale of Systems.

     Net losses increased to $2,205,000 for fiscal 1998 from $1,810,000 for
fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of the decrease in sales, the increase in
cost of sales and selling general and administrative expenses, as a percentage
of sales, the disposal of net assets as the result of the sale of Systems, and
the increase in interest expense, partially offset by the favorable change in
foreign currency exchange rates.


CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In February 1997, SFAS 128, Earnings per Share and SFAS 129, Disclosure of
Information About Capital Structure, were issued. SFAS 128 establishes new
standards for computing and reporting earnings per share. SFAS 129 requires an
entity to explain the pertinent rights and privileges of outstanding securities.
The Company has adopted these new standards in the current fiscal year and the
affect of the adoption was not material.

     In June 1997, SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, was issued. SFAS
130 establishes new standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components and is effective for fiscal years

                                       11

<PAGE>   12


beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company expects that comprehensive
income (loss) will not differ materially from net income (loss).

     In June 1997, SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information, was issued. SFAS No. 131 changes the standards for
reporting financial results by operating segments, related products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company must adopt the new
standard no later that November 30, 1999.

     In February 1998, SFAS 132, Employers' Disclosure About Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits, was issued. SFAS 132 standardizes the disclosure
requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plans but not change
the measurement or recognition of those plans. SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management believes this pronouncement
will have no material effect on the Company's financial statements or
disclosures thereto. 

     In June 1998, SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, was issued. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes this
pronouncement will have no effect on the financial statements.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The inability of computer, software and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields containing a two
digit year is commonly referred to as a Year 2000 Compliance issue. As the year
2000 approaches, such systems may be unable to accurately process certain
data-based information. The Company is in the process of identifying and
modifying all significant hardware and software applications that will require
modification to ensure Year 2000 Compliance. Internal and external resources are
being used to make the required modification and test Year 2000 Compliance. The
estimated cost to address year 2000 issues is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's business, operations or financial condition.

     In addition, the Company is communicating with external service providers
to ensure that the external providers are taking the appropriate action to
address Year 2000 issues. However, there can be no assurance that the systems of
third parties on which the Company's systems rely will convert, or that a
conversion that is incompatible with the Company's systems would not have an
adverse effect on the Company's systems.

fiscal years ended November 30, 1998, 1997 or 1996 to any executive officer of
the Company by way of restricted stock awards, options or stock appreciation
rights, or other long-term incentive plans.

     Stock Options. The Company adopted the Plan at a special meeting of its
shareholders held on November 14, 1996. (See Item 4). Under the Plan, the
Company may grant different types of options covering up to 7,000,000 Common
Shares to its existing and future directors, officers and employees. As of
November 30, 1996, there were no Company stock options held by the directors or
executive officers of the Company. Upon consummation of the Merger, options to
purchase Monitek Common Stock held by James O'Leary were converted to options to
purchase 344,875 Common Shares. On December 2, 1996, Mr. O'Leary became the
Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In August 1998, half of Mr. O'Leary's
options expired, leaving him with options to purchase 172,438 Common Shares at
November 30, 1998.

     Compensation Pursuant to Plans. The Company has no plans pursuant to which

ITEM 12   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     Linenberg Shareholder Agreement. In December 1998, pursuant to a
Shareholder Agreement between CPS and Linenberg (the "Linenberg Shareholder
Agreement"), Linenberg exercised a put right with respect to 6,389,204 Common
Shares and in April 1998, CPS purchased such Common Shares. The Linenberg
Shareholder Agreement is no longer in effect.

         CPS Management Agreement. Within two months after CPS acquired
effective control of the Company, CPS entered into a Management Agreement with
the Company, which was effective on March 1, 1996 (the "Original Management
Agreement"). In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CPS and
the Company

                                       16

<PAGE>   17

entered into an Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the "Amended and
Restated Management Agreement"). Pursuant to the Original Management Agreement,
CPS agreed to cause its personnel to perform the functions that would normally
be performed by the officers of the Company. Presently, such personnel consists
mainly of Mr. Kendall, the Chairman of CPS and Peggy Nutaitis, the Secretary of
CPS. In order to permit Mr. Kendall and Ms. Nutaitis to function as officers and
for them to be properly insured as officers of the Company, Mr. Kendall has been
elected as the President and Treasurer of the Company and Ms. Nutaitis has been
elected Secretary of the Company.

     Under the terms of the Original Management Agreement, CPS received an
annual fee of $193,800, which was payable monthly. Under the terms of the
Amended and Restated Management Agreement, the annual fee was increased to
$393,800 to account for the increase in tasks and responsibilities relating to
the operation of Monitek. Due to the present financial condition of the Company,
CPS has not received payment under the Amended and Restated Agreement since May
1997, but the Company has accrued such expense. On May 15, 1998, CPS and the
Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Management Services
Agreement, pursuant to which CPS agreed to accept 5,025,745 Common Shares in
lieu of accrued management fees equaling $196,900, representing fees for the
second half of fiscal 1997. All the shares acquired by CPS were acquired for
investment purposes.

     In December 1997, CPS and the Company agreed to a reduced management fee of
$250,000 for fiscal 1998 and in December 1998, the parties agreed to reduce the
fee to $200,000 for fiscal 1999. CPS and the Company have agreed that the
balance due as of November 30, 1998, which totals $125,000, and the fee for
fiscal 1999, will be paid at some future time when the financial condition of
the Company improves.

     Clarion. On May 15, 1998, Clarion, Monitek's principal shareholder at the
time of the Merger, converted two convertible notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $609,558, with the agreement of the Company, into an aggregate number
of 16,569,404 Common Shares of the Company. Immediately thereafter, CPS
purchased all 16,569,404 Common Shares from Clarion for $230,000.

     Sale of Systems. On September 4, 1998, the Company completed the sale of
all of the outstanding capital stock of Systems to ALR, which is principally
owned by Linenberg. Prior to the sale, Linenberg was the President of Systems
and an Executive Vice President of the Company. In the past, Linenberg has been
a principal shareholder of the Company and served as a director of the Company.

     Sales of Systems products had not been successfully integrated into
Monitek's distribution channels, which had resulted in a further drop-off of
Systems sales and even larger losses in this segment of the business. As a
result, the Company's management determined that the Company's best course of
action was to divest itself of the Systems operation, which generated less than
15% of the Company's revenues for the previous 21 months, while suffering 55% of
the Company's losses, as reported.

     In consideration for all of the capital stock of Systems, ALR caused
Linenberg to terminate his existing Employment Agreement as of June 30, 1998,
which from July 1, 1998 through February 28, 2000 would have required payments
to Mr. Linenberg of approximately $325,000. Except for approximately $20,000 in
expenses, the Company paid all operating costs and expenses of Systems through
June 30, 1998 ALR assumed all the costs and operating expenses of Systems from
July 1, 1998 through the closing. The Company incurred a $447,327 loss,
representing the disposal of the net assets of Systems.

     In connection with the sale of Systems to ALR, the Company retained
Linenberg to consult for the Company on an as needed basis. The consulting
period began effective July 1, 1998 and continued through December 31, 1998.
Linenberg received approximately $12,000 per month under this consulting
arrangement.

     Working Capital Assistance. During fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998, CPS and Mr.
Kendall provided the Company assistance in connection with funding its working
capital needs in the form of loans and security for

                                       17

<PAGE>   18

bank loans. From May 1997 through May 1998, CPS provided the Company a series of
temporary working capital loans at a prime rate at National City Bank,
Cleveland, Ohio ("NCB"). The outstanding balance of such loans totaled
$551,000, plus accrued interest of $32,000, as of November 30, 1998. From time
to time Mr. Kendall has also provided security to banks by permitting the banks
to obtain a security interest in Mr. Kendall's personal assets and/or providing
guarantees so the Company could obtain financing from the bank. Except for the
interest to be received on the loans provided by CPS, neither Mr. Kendall nor
CPS has received nor will receive any remuneration in connection with providing
such working capital assistance to the Company. The Company believes the
interest payable to CPS is and was on terms no less favorable than could be
obtained pursuant to an arms-length transaction.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sentex Sensing Technology, Inc.
Cleveland, Ohio


        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sentex
Sensing Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 1998. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sentex
Sensing Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1998, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended November 30, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2A to the
financial statements, the Company has in the past and continues to sustain
substantial net and operating losses. In addition, the Company has used
substantial amounts of working capital in its operations which has reduced the
Company's liquidity to a very low level. Additionally, the Company's stock is no
longer listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market tier of the NASDAQ stock market and
is now traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board which might limit the
Company's ability to raise equity capital. These matters raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in
existence.

                SENTEX SENSING TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.     ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND INDUSTRY SEGMENT

            The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sentex
            Sensing Technology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
            "Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have
            been eliminated in consolidation.

            The Company's business is confined to a single industry segment,
            manufacturing analysis equipment. One of the subsidiaries, Sentex
            Systems, Inc., whose assets and operations were disposed of in the
            year ended November 30, 1998, was engaged in the business of
            developing, manufacturing and selling automated gas chromatography
            devices designed to detect the presence of certain substances by
            identifying and measuring the concentrations of certain atmospheric
            vapors (see Note 14). Monitek Technologies, Inc. ("Monitek") was
            acquired by the Company on November 30, 1996 and designs, develops,
            assembles and markets instruments for the measurement of clarity
            (turbidity), suspended solid content, color, purity, flow, level and
            volume of liquids in industrial waste water environments. Monitek
            GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monitek, was formed in Germany to
            sell and service Monitek's (and now the Company's) products
            throughout Continental Europe. At November 30, 1998, Monitek GmbH's
            assets, located in Continental Europe, represent approximately 42%
            of the Company's total consolidated assets. A new subsidiary,
            Cypress Instruments, Inc. ("Cypress"), was acquired by the Company
            on March 5, 1998 for the purpose of acquiring a new product line
            that is currently under development. The products under development
            are similar to those of Monitek and will be folded into their
            existing product lines.

NOTE 2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

            A.    Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have
                  been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
                  principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
                  going concern. However, the Company has in the past and
                  continues to sustain substantial net and operating losses. In
                  addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working
                  capital in its operations which has reduced the Company's
                  liquidity to a very low level. Additionally, the Company's
                  stock is no longer listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market tier
                  of the NASDAQ stock market and is now traded on the
                  Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board which might limit the
                  Company's ability to raise equity capital. These matters raise
                  substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
                  going concern. The financial statements do not include any
                  adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
                  of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of
                  liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
                  cannot continue in existence. The Company's ability to
                  continue in existence is primarily dependent upon its ability
                  to arrange adequate financing and to attain satisfactory
                  levels of operating cash flows.

            B.    Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
                  (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.

NOTE 2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

            C.    Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at
                  cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
                  Depreciation and amortization are computed using straight-line
                  and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
                  respective assets.

                  When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
                  related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed
                  from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized
                  in income or loss for the period. The cost of maintenance and
                  repairs is included in the statements of operations as
                  incurred; significant renewals and betterments are
                  capitalized.

            D.    Revenue Recognition - The Company records revenue as products
                  are shipped to customers.

            E.    Research and Development Costs - Research and development
                  costs are expensed as incurred.

            F.    Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents are comprised of
                  certain highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
                  months or less when purchased.

            G.    Concentration of Credit and Risk Factors - Financial
                  instruments which potentially subject the Company to
                  concentrations of credit risk are cash and equivalents,
                  investments in certificates of deposit and accounts receivable
                  arising from its normal business activities. Concentrations of
                  credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due
                  to the number of customers comprising the Company's customer
                  base and their disposition across different industries and
                  geographic areas. Bad debt expenses have not been material.
                  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high
                  credit quality financial institutions. The amount on deposit
                  in any one institution that exceeds federally insured limits
                  is subject to credit risk.

                  The Company operates in an environment with many financial
                  risks, including, but not limited to, its lack of history of
                  profitable operations, the inherent risks associated with new
                  product research and development, the highly competitive
                  nature of the industry in which it operates and worldwide
                  economic conditions. The Company's ability to capitalize on
                  its current and emerging technology and diversity of its
                  operations and products is also dependent upon the Company's
                  ability to obtain the necessary capital through operating cash
                  flow, additional borrowings or additional equity funds.

            H.    Use of Estimates - The preparation of 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.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

            I.    Income Taxes - The Company utilizes Statement of Financial
                  Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), Accounting for
                  Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach
                  to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The
                  difference between the financial statement and tax basis of
                  assets and liabilities is determined annually. Deferred income
                  tax assets and liabilities are computed for those temporary
                  differences that have future tax consequences using the
                  current enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods
                  in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
                  allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce the
                  deferred tax asset to the amount that will, more likely than
                  not, be realized. Income tax expense is the current tax
                  payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net
                  change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

                  The Company has no current plans to repatriate undistributed
                  earnings of Monitek's foreign subsidiary. Therefore, no tax
                  has been provided to cover the repatriation of such
                  undistributed earnings. The cumulative amount of undistributed
                  earnings for which the Company has not provided United States
                  income taxes is not material.

                  The Company has terminated its IC-DISC and, therefore, has
                  begun repatriation of the undistributed earnings of the
                  IC-DISC. The undistributed earnings of approximately $780,000
                  will be recognized as income by the Company over a 10-year
                  period ending March 31, 2001.

            J.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair values of cash,
                  accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term
                  obligations approximate their carrying values because of the
                  short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying
                  values of the Company's long-term obligations approximate
                  their fair value. In accordance with Statement of Financial
                  Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of
                  Financial Instruments, rates available at balance sheet dates
                  to the Company are used to estimate the fair value of existing
                  debt.

            K.    Foreign Currency Translation - The Company accounts for
                  foreign currency translation in accordance with Statement of
                  Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency
                  Translation. The functional currency of the Company's German
                  subsidiary is the deutsche mark. All transactions of that
                  subsidiary denominated in currency other than the functional
                  currency are remeasured into the functional currency with the
                  resulting gain or loss included as foreign currency
                  transaction gains or losses in the accompanying consolidated
                  statements of operations. Assets and liabilities denominated
                  in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at year
                  end exchange rates and all statement of operations items are
                  translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.

            L.    Loss Per Share - Loss per share is calculated using the
                  weighted average number of shares outstanding.

NOTE 2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

            M.    New Authoritative Pronouncements - In February 1997, SFAS 128,
                  Earnings per Share and SFAS 129, Disclosure of Information
                  About Capital Structure, were issued. SFAS 128 establishes new
                  standards for computing and reporting earnings per share. SFAS
                  129 requires an entity to explain the pertinent rights and
                  privileges of outstanding securities. The effect of adoption
                  of these new standards on the accompanying financial
                  statements was not material.

                  In June 1997, SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, was
                  issued. SFAS 130 establishes new standards for reporting
                  comprehensive income and its components and is effective for
                  fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
                  pronouncement has no effect on the Company's financial
                  statements for the year ended November 30, 1998.

                  In June 1997, SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an
                  Enterprise and Related Information, was issued. SFAS No. 131
                  changes the standards for reporting financial results by
                  operating segments, related products and services, geographic
                  areas and major customers. The Company must adopt the new
                  standard, which is not expected to materially affect the
                  Company's financial statements, no later than November 30,
                  1999.

                  In February 1998, SFAS 132, Employers' Disclosures About
                  Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, was issued. SFAS
                  132 standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and
                  other postretirement benefit plans but does not change the
                  measurement or recognition of those plans. SFAS 132 is
                  effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
                  Management believes this pronouncement will have no material
                  effect on the Company's financial statements or disclosures
                  thereto.

                  In June 1998, SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
                  and Hedging Activities, was issued. SFAS 133 establishes
                  accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
                  and hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years
                  beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes this
                  pronouncement will have no effect on the financial statements.

NOTE 3.     ACQUISITIONS

            In March 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of
            Cypress Instruments, Inc. ("Cypress") for the purpose of acquiring a
            new product line that was under development. The acquisition was not
            material to the overall business of the Company and was accounted
            for as a purchase. Consideration in the amount of $150,000 was given
            in the form of a contingent payment. The excess of the aggregate
            purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets
            acquired (goodwill) was $150,000, and is being amortized over 20
            years. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into
            consulting agreements with the former shareholders of Cypress (see
            Note 9).

NOTE 3.     ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

            On November 30, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding
            stock of Monitek Technologies, Inc. (see Note 1). The acquisition
            was accounted for as a purchase and resulted in the issuance of
            11,659,681 common shares and convertible notes having face and
            discounted values of $622,000 and $468,000, respectively, in
            exchange for 100% of the outstanding stock and other securities of
            Monitek. The acquisition cost attributable to the common shares of
            $348,000 was based on the estimated fair value, including goodwill,
            of the net assets acquired, net of the cost attributable to the
            convertible notes and before costs associated with the registration
            of the securities issued ($150,000, which was charged against
            stockholders' equity). In addition, the total acquisition cost
            includes direct acquisition costs of $72,319. The estimated fair
            market value of tangible assets and liabilities acquired was
            $2,650,153 and $2,013,236, respectively. The excess of the aggregate
            purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the net
            assets acquired (goodwill) was approximately $251,402, which is
            being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

NOTE 7.    NOTES PAYABLE - BANK AND OTHER BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

           The Company has available a $2,000,000 demand line of credit secured
           by the Company's assets and the assets of the Company's Chairman of
           the Board. Interest is charged on a 90 day contract period at the
           lower of the prime lending rate or LIBOR plus 150 basis points.
           Interest is payable monthly. Amounts outstanding under the line
           amounted to $1,880,400 at November 30, 1998.

           During the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, a principal
           shareholder and the Company's Chairman provided the Company
           assistance in connection with funding its working capital needs in
           the form of loans and security for bank loans. As of November 30,
           1998, the Company had notes payable of $551,000 (bearing interest at
           the prime rate) to its principal shareholder, CPS Capital, Ltd., in
           connection with such unsecured loans.

           Interest expense for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997
           amounted to $182,372 and $92,533, respectively.

NOTE 8.    CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE

           In connection with the acquisition of Monitek on November 30, 1996,
           the Company issued convertible notes having aggregate face and
           discounted values of $622,000 and $468,000, respectively. The
           unsecured notes, which are subordinated to all present and future
           obligations of the Company, have a stated interest rate of 5.05% per
           annum and were discounted using a yield rate of 15% to reflect
           management's estimate of the fair value of the debt.

           Interest on the notes is payable annually (November 30) in shares of
           the Company's common stock based on the average of the bid and ask
           prices of the shares on the last ten trading days prior to the date
           on which the interest payment is due. Interest expense related to the
           convertible subordinated notes payable amounted to approximately
           $14,645 and $31,400 for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997,
           respectively. In 1998, the Company issued 1,118,467 shares of common
           stock in satisfaction of the accrued interest. The notes were
           convertible at various rates ($.0194 and $.0562 on $136,414 and
           $485,586 of face amount, respectively) averaging $.03 per face amount
           of debt, into an aggregate of 15,671,969 shares of the Company's
           common stock.

           The notes were convertible by the holder 300 days after the second
           anniversary of issuance and earlier under certain conditions
           including certain changes in control or the
           restructuring/recapitalization of the Company. The notes could be
           converted at the Company's option 345 days after the second
           anniversary of issuance into that number of shares by dividing the
           face amount of the note by $.075 or at a time earlier at the standard
           conversion rates ($.0194 and $.0562) if there is a proxy contest for
           control of the Company's Board of Directors or if the Company is
           unable, in the judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, without
           compelling such a conversion, to obtain the requisite shareholder
           vote to approve a material transaction approved by the Board of
           Directors. The conversion terms contain standard anti-dilutive
           provisions to adjust the conversion price. In the event the notes are
           not converted, they become due on November 30, 1999.

           In 1998, a board resolution was proposed to allow the holder of
           significantly all of the Company's convertible subordinated notes
           payable to convert its notes immediately without regard to
           restrictions thereon in the hopes of reducing the amount of the
           Company's debt. The holder agreed to convert the notes if CPS
           Capital, Ltd. ("CPS") purchased the common shares that would be held
           by the holder following conversion. CPS agreed to purchase the common
           shares (including shares issued in satisfaction of accrued interest)
           for approximately $230,000. Pursuant to the board resolution,
           convertible notes, having a face value of $609,578 and a carrying
           value of $529,690, were converted into 15,450,937 shares of the
           Company's common stock. The remaining face and carrying values of the
           subordinated notes at November 30, 1998 amounted to $12,423 and
           $10,810, respectively.

           The Company leases certain equipment and occupies premises under
           various operating leases, certain of which are with a principal
           shareholder. Rental expense amounted to approximately $272,000 and
           $320,400 (of which $32,500 and $57,900 were for related party leases)
           for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Future

NOTE 11.   STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

           The Company has a long-term incentive plan ("Incentive Plan") to
           provide current and future directors, officers and employees
           incentives to stimulate their active interest in the development and
           financial success of the Company. The Incentive Plan provides for the
           granting of "incentive stock options," under Section 422 of the
           Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other stock options,
           stock appreciation rights, restricted or nonrestricted stock awards
           to purchase not more than 7,000,000 shares (which shares have been
           reserved by the Company) of common stock as determined by the
           Company's Incentive Plan Committee (the "Committee"). The option
           prices per share of common stock, which is the subject of incentive
           stock options and other stock options under the Incentive Plan, shall
           not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's
           shares of common stock on the date such option is granted. The
           Committee shall determine when each option is to expire but no option
           shall be exercisable for a period of more than 10 years from the date
           upon which the option is granted. Generally, options granted under
           the Incentive Plan vest or terminate upon the employee leaving the
           Company and are subject to automatic acceleration of any vesting
           requirements given certain changes in control of the Company.

           Stock appreciation rights may be awarded by the Committee at the time
           or subsequent to the time of the granting of options. Stock
           appreciation rights awarded shall provide that the option holder
           shall have the right to receive an amount equal to 100% of the
           excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of common
           stock covered by the option over the option price. Such amount shall
           be payable, as determined by the Committee, in one or more of the
           following manners: (a) cash; (b) fully-paid shares of common stock
           having a fair market value equal to such amount; or (c) a combination
           of cash and shares of common stock. As of November 30, 1998, the
           Company has not granted any awards under the Incentive Plan.

           Stock options outstanding at November 30, 1996 consisted of Monitek
           stock options that were automatically converted, at the date of
           acquisition (see Note 3), into options to purchase 2,583,110 of the
           Company's common shares at an average exercise price of $.1038 per
           share and a range of $.0725 to $.1812 per share. During the year
           ended November 30, 1997, 241,412 shares under option were forfeited
           and 689,749 shares under option expired by their terms but were
           extended for an additional 18 months with an exercise price equal to
           the original exercise price of $.1812 per share (the fair value of
           the options under SFAS 123 was not material). During the year ended
           November 30, 1998, 1,307,075 shares under option expired. The options
           outstanding to purchase 1,034,623 shares of the Company's common
           stock (as of November 30, 1998) have an average exercise price of
           $.1450 per share, an exercise price range of $.0725 to $.1812 per
           share and expire in varying amounts between June 1999 and March 2000.

NOTE 12.   PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

           The Company has a profit-sharing plan and a 401(k) retirement plan
           for the benefit of eligible employees. Contributions under the plans
           are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are
           credited to employees based upon a percentage of eligible salaries.
           The Company elected to suspend all contributions for the years ended
           November 30, 1998 and 1997.

           The deferred tax assets do not include deferred tax assets related to
           purchased net operating loss carryforwards that are subject to usage
           limitations (see below).

           The Company established a valuation allowance against tax benefits
           that are potentially available to the Company but have not yet been
           recognized. This valuation allowance relates to the amount of net
           operating loss carryforwards in excess of existing net taxable
           temporary differences and to certain deductible temporary differences
           that may not reverse during periods in which the Company may generate
           net taxable income. During the years ended November 30, 1998 and
           1997, the Company recorded increases of $591,000 and $578,200,
           respectively, in the valuation allowance primarily as a result of the
           net operating loss generated during the year.

NOTE 13.   INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

           At November 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $10,751,000 of
           net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future federal
           taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire
           at various dates through 2018. Federal tax law imposes restrictions
           on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event
           of a change in ownership. The Company's net operating loss includes
           approximately $6,265,000 of loss carryforwards that are subject to
           limitations as a result of these provisions.

NOTE 14.   LOSS ON SALE OF ASSETS

           In September 1998, the Company divested itself of Sentex Systems,
           Inc.'s operation, which generated less than 15% of the Company's
           revenues, but a much more significant part of the Company's losses.
           The Company agreed to sell all of the outstanding capital stock of
           Sentex Systems, Inc. to a company which is principally owned by Amos
           Linenberg. Prior to the sale, Mr. Linenberg was the President of
           Sentex Systems, Inc. and an Executive Vice President of the Company.
           In the past, Mr. Linenberg has been a principal shareholder of the
           Company and served as a director of the Company. In consideration for
           all of the capital stock of Sentex Systems, Inc., Mr. Linenberg
           terminated his existing Employment Agreement as of June 30, 1998,
           which, from July 1, 1998 through February 28, 2000, would have
           required payments to Mr. Linenberg of approximately $325,000. Except
           for approximately $20,000 in expenses, the Company paid all operating
           costs and expenses of Sentex Systems, Inc. through June 30, 1998 and
           the Buyer assumed all the costs and operating expenses of Sentex
           Systems, Inc. from July 1, 1998 through the closing. The Company
           incurred a $423,283 loss, representing the disposal of the net assets
           of Sentex Systems, Inc. In connection with the sale of Sentex
           Systems, Inc. to the Buyer, the Company has retained Mr. Linenberg to
           consult for the Company on an as needed basis.

NOTE 15.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

           Effective March 1, 1996, the Company entered into a management
           agreement with an affiliate and significant shareholder, CPS Capital,
           Ltd., to perform management and executive services at an annual fee
           of $193,800, payable ratably each month, plus any reasonable
           "out-of-pocket" expenses. In June 1996, under the terms of the
           Amended and Restated Management Agreement, the annual fee was
           increased to $393,800 to account for the increase in tasks and
           responsibilities relating to the operation of Monitek. Due to the
           present financial condition of the Company, CPS has not received
           payment under the Amended and Restated Agreement since May 1997, but
           the Company has accrued such expense. On May 15, 1998, CPS and the
           Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Management
           Services Agreement, pursuant to which CPS agreed to accept 5,025,745
           common shares in lieu of accrued management fees equaling $196,900,
           representing fees for the second half of fiscal 1997.

           In December 1997, CPS and the Company agreed to a reduced management
           fee of $250,000 for fiscal 1998 and, in December 1998, the parties
           agreed to reduce the fee to $200,000 for fiscal 1999. CPS and the
           Company have agreed that the balance due as of November 30, 1998,
           which totals $125,000, and the fee for fiscal 1999 will be paid at
           some future time when the financial condition of the Company
           improves.

             NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 17.   YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

           The inability of computers, software and other equipment utilizing
           microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields
           containing a two-digit year is commonly referred to as the Year 2000
           Compliance issue. As the year 2000 approaches, such systems may be
           unable to accurately process certain date-based information. The
           Company is in the process of identifying and modifying all
           significant hardware and software applications that will require
           modification to ensure Year 2000 Compliance. Internal and external
           resources are being used to make the required modifications and test
           Year 2000 Compliance. The estimated cost to address Year 2000 issues
           is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's business,
           operations or financial condition.

           In addition, the Company is communicating with external service
           providers to ensure that the providers are taking the appropriate
           action to address Year 2000 issues. However, there can be no
           assurance that the systems of third parties on which the Company's
           systems rely will convert, or that a conversion that is incompatible
           with the Company's systems would not have an adverse effect on the
           Company's systems.
