SPECTRUM CONTROL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2003

|Note 1 - Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which are normal, recurring and necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spectrum Control, Inc. and its Subsidiaries ("the Company").  To facilitate timely reporting, the fiscal quarters of the Company's German subsidiary, Spectrum Control GmbH, are based upon a fiscal year which ends October 31.  All significant intercompany accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.The balance sheet at November 30, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Spectrum Control, Inc. and Subsidiaries annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002.Note 2 - Nature of OperationsThe Company designs and manufactures control products and systems for the electronics industry, and has operations in the United States, Mexico, China and Germany.

|Note 6 - GoodwillEffective December 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142").  SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach.  Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, including such assets recorded in past business combinations, ceases upon adoption of SFAS No. 142.  Accordingly, no amortization of goodwill was recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended August 31, 2003 and 2002.  On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect that the carrying value of goodwill has been diminished or impaired, goodwill must be tested for impairment and a writedown of the asset may be necessary.  No impairment losses have been recognized in any of the periods presented herein.Goodwill by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):

|Amortization of intangible assets is expected to be approximately $60,000 for each of the next five fiscal years.Note 8 - Debt AgreementThe Company maintains a $6,000,000 line of credit with its principal lending institution (the "Bank"), with interest rates on borrowings at or below the prevailing prime rate.  During the periods ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, no borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit arrangement.  The line of credit agreement contains certain covenants, the most restrictive of which require the Company to maintain designated minimum levels of net worth and profitability and impose certain restrictions on the Company regarding additional indebtedness.  At August 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.Effective February 28, 2003, the line of credit agreement was amended.  Under the amended agreement, future borrowings if any, will be secured by the Company's accounts receivable.  The amended line of credit agreement expires April 30, 2005.Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging ActivitiesFrom time to time, the Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in the regular course of business to manage its exposure against foreign currency fluctuations on sales denominated in foreign currencies.  The terms of these contracts are generally nine months or less.At August 31, 2003, the Company had no forward contracts outstanding.Note 10 - Earnings (Loss) Per Common ShareThe following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the periods indicated:

|Options to purchase 474,800 shares of Common Stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $9.12 per share, were outstanding at August 31, 2003 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.  At August 31, 2002, options and warrants to purchase 954,483 shares of Common Stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $7.19 per share, were similarly excluded..Note 11- Comprehensive Income (Loss)The components of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows (in thousands):

|Note 12- Stock OptionsThe Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to its employees and directors in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations.  Accordingly, the Company has elected to adopt the "disclosure only" provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148").  SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, SFAS No. 148 requires new prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.For SFAS No. 148 purposes, the fair value of each option granted under the Company's stock option plans is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 2.00% in 2003 and 2002; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's Common Stock of 0.50 in 2003 and 0.58 in 2002; dividend yield of 0.00% each year; and a weighted average expected option life of five years.If the Company had elected to recognize the compensation cost of its stock option plans based on the fair value method of accounting, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per common share would have been increased (decreased) to the pro forma amounts below ( in thousands, except per share data):

|Note 13- Reportable Operating SegmentsThe Company was founded as a solutions - oriented company, designing and manufacturing products to suppress or eliminate electromagnetic interference ("EMI").  In recent years, the Company has broadened its focus and product lines to become a control products and systems company, providing a wide range of components and systems used to condition, regulate, transmit, receive, or govern electronic performance.  Effective December 1, 2002, the Company realigned its business segments to better reflect its current strategic focus.The Company's current operations are conducted in three reportable segments:  signal integrity products; power integrity products and management systems; and frequency control products.  The Company's Signal Integrity Products Group designs and manufactures a broad range of low pass EMI filters, surface mount EMI filters, filtered arrays, filtered connectors, gaskets, and specialty ceramic capacitors.  The Power Integrity Products and Management Systems Group designs and manufactures numerous power integrity products (power line filters, power entry modules, multisection filters, power terminal blocks, and custom power filter assemblies) and power management systems (power distribution units, remote power management systems, fuse interface panels, breaker interface panels, and custom power distribution systems).  Our recently developed Frequency Control Products Group designs and manufactures ceramic resonators and bandpass filters, ceramic patch antennas, duplexers, lumped element filters, cavity filters, waveguide filters, and related products and systems.  The reportable segments are each managed separately because they manufacture and sell distinct products with different production processes.The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its reportable segments based upon numerous factors, including segment income or loss before income taxes.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those utilized in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.  However, substantially all of the Company's selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and nonoperating expenses are not allocated to the Company's reportable operating segments and, accordingly, these expenses are not deducted in arriving at segment income or loss.  Segment reportable assets are comprised of certain tangible assets (property, plant, equipment, and inventories) and goodwill.Prior period amounts in the following tables have been restated to correspond with the new business segment presentation.  For each period presented, the accounting policies and procedures used to determine segment income (loss) have been consistently applied.  Reportable segment information for the periods ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 is as follows (in thousands):

|Note 14 - ContingenciesThe Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.Note 15 - Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").  This Interpretation requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities, is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns, or both.  FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.  It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that was acquired before February 1, 2003.  The Company has evaluated the provisions of FIN 46 and determined that it will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption during the fourth quarter of 2003.In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149").  SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for hedging activities and derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts.  The Statement clarifies the circumstances in which a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component, and amends certain other existing pronouncements.  SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.  The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 149 during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150").  The Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS No. 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of settling financial instruments and the capital structure of entities whose shares are mandatorily redeemable.  Most of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 150 in the fourth quarter of 2003 and is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that its adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



|The following discussion and analysis may be understood more fully by reference to the consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements, and management's discussion and analysis contained in the Spectrum Control, Inc. and Subsidiaries annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002.  All references to "we", "us", "our", or the "Company" in the following discussion and analysis mean Spectrum Control, Inc. and its Subsidiaries.OverviewWe were founded as a solutions-oriented company, designing and manufacturing products to suppress or eliminate electromagnetic interference ("EMI").  In recent years, we broadened our focus and product lines to become a control products and systems company, providing a wide range of components and systems used to condition, regulate, transmit, receive, or govern electronic performance.  Although our components and systems are used in many industries worldwide, our largest markets are telecommunications equipment and military/aerospace which represented 42.0% and 30.0%, respectively, of our fiscal 2002 sales.  In telecommunications, our products are used in numerous systems including wireless base stations, optical networks, broadband switching equipment, and global positioning systems.  Military/aerospace applications for our products include missile defense systems, smart weapons and munitions, secure communications, simulation equipment, and avionic upgrades.  Our other markets include medical instrumentation, industrial equipment, computer, and automotive.Our operations are currently conducted in three reportable segments:  signal integrity products; power integrity products and management systems; and frequency control products.  Our Signal Integrity Products Group designs and manufactures a broad range of low pass EMI filters, surface mount EMI filters, filtered arrays, filtered connectors, gaskets, and specialty ceramic capacitors.  Our Power Integrity Products and Management Systems Group designs and manufactures numerous power integrity products (power line filters, power entry modules, multisection filters, power terminal blocks, and custom power filter assemblies) and power management systems (power distribution units, remote power management systems, fuse interface panels, breaker interface panels, and custom power distribution systems).  Our recently developed Frequency Control Products Group designs and manufactures ceramic resonators and bandpass filters, ceramic patch antennas, duplexers, lumped element filters, cavity filters, waveguide filters, and related products and systems.AcquisitionOn July 19, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of FSY Microwave, Inc. ("FSY").  FSY, based in Columbia, Maryland, designs and manufactures various microwave filters, including lumped element filters, cavity filters, waveguide filters, and related products and systems.  These products are a natural complement and extension to the Company's existing ceramic-based wireless product offerings of resonators, bandpass filters, and patch antennas.  The aggregate cash purchase price for FSY was approximately $6.5 million including legal fees and other costs directly related to the acquisition.  The purchase price was entirely funded through the Company's available cash reserves.  The results of operations of the acquired business have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.  Accordingly, the following FSY product sales have been included in the Company's consolidated net sales, and are reported within the Company's Frequency Control Products Group for operating segment purposes (in thousands):

|Third Quarter 2003 Versus Third Quarter 2002
Net SalesOur net sales decreased by $310,000 during the period, with consolidated net sales of $15.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and $15.7 million in the comparable quarter of 2002.  Sales of signal integrity products amounted to $10.4 million in the current quarter, versus $11.2 million in the same quarter last year.  This decrease principally reflects reduced shipment volume for our filtered connector product lines.  These products are used in numerous applications, including wireless base stations and other telecommunications equipment.  Sales of power integrity products and management systems remained relatively constant during the period, with aggregate shipments of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2003 and 2002.  Frequency control product sales totaled $1.7 million in the current quarter, an increase of $464,000 from the comparable period last year.  This increase principally reflects additional FSY product shipments.  Overall, average selling prices remained relatively stable throughout all of our product lines.Customer orders received in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 amounted to $15.6 million, up 5.3% from the comparable period of 2002.  Our sales order backlog was approximately $24.5 million at August 31, 2003, the same aggregate amount as the end of last fiscal year.Early in 2001 the telecommunications equipment industry, our largest market, began to experience a severe industry-wide downturn.  Although this unprecedented downturn has recently demonstrated some signs of moderating, overall market demand for telecommunications equipment continues to be volatile with the timing and extent of the market's recovery still uncertain.  We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty when an increase in telecom equipment spending may be expected, nor can we forecast what normal customer spending levels may be once this structural market correction is completed.Gross MarginIn the third quarter of 2003, gross margin was $3.0 million or 19.6% of sales.  For the third quarter of last year, gross margin was $2.9 million or 18.8% of sales.  The slightly improved gross margin principally reflects reduced material costs from greater utilization of our metal fabrication operations in Wesson, Mississippi and continued expansion of our global material supply chain.  The benefit from reduced material costs was partially offset by a change in sales mix.  Our signal integrity products, which generally have our highest average gross margins, represented a smaller percentage of our total consolidated sales in the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year.Selling, General and Administrative ExpenseIn the third quarter of fiscal 2003, selling expense amounted to $1.7 million or 11.2% of sales, compared to $1.6 million or 10.5% of sales for the same period last year.  The increase in selling expense primarily reflects additional advertising expenses and travel costs.  General and administrative expense was approximately $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002.Other Income and ExpenseWe hold numerous United States and foreign patents related to polymer multilayer ("PML") technology.  We realized license fee income of $71,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 upon the granting of certain PML technology licenses.  Although these licenses, as well as other PML licenses that we have previously granted, require royalties to be paid to us upon the sale of products utilizing PML technology, it is not known what future commercial value, if any, these patents and related licenses may have.Investment income of $48,000 in 2003 and $51,000 in 2002 was realized from temporary cash investments.Nine Months 2003 Versus Nine Months 2002Net SalesFor the first nine months of fiscal 2003, our net sales increased by $4.6 million or 11.0%, with consolidated sales of $46.1 million in 2003 and $41.5 million in 2002.  In addition to FSY product sales, this increase reflects greater shipment volume for substantially all of our signal and power integrity product lines.  Sales of signal integrity products amounted to $32.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, up $890,000 or 2.9% from the comparable period last year.  Power integrity product sales increased by $734,000 during the period, from $7.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to approximately $7.9 million in the current period.  Sales of power management systems amounted to $1.0 million in 2003 and $1.2 million in 2002.  Although we believe the long-term market potential for these advanced power systems remains strong, their initial market introduction and penetration has been severely hampered by the poor current telecom market conditions.  Sales of frequency control products totaled $5.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to $2.0 million for the comparable period last year.  FSY product sales generated $2.6 million of this $3.1 million increase in frequency control product sales, with the remaining increase reflecting additional shipment volume of ceramic resonators, bandpass filters, and patch antennas.  Average selling prices remained relatively stable throughout all of our product lines.  Total customer orders received in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 amounted to $46.2 million, an increase of $3.6 million or 8.6% compared to the same period last year.Gross MarginFor the first nine months of fiscal 2003, gross margin was $9.8 million or 21.2% of sales.  In the comparable period of fiscal 2002, gross margin was $6.5 million or 15.5% of sales.  The gross margin in 2002 was significantly below historical levels, primarily reflecting lower than anticipated sales volume and manufacturing inefficiencies caused by the abrupt downturn in product demand by our telecommunications equipment customers.  Throughout fiscal 2002, we identified and implemented numerous cost reduction programs to better align our operations with current business expectations.  These cost reduction programs included consolidating certain of our Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities to decrease manufacturing overhead, transferring the production of most of our commercial products to our low-cost manufacturing center in Juarez Mexico to reduce labor costs, and generating greater utilization of our metal fabrication operations in Wesson Mississippi to lower material costs.  As a result of these efforts, gross margin in fiscal year 2003 is expected to approximate 21.0% to 22.0% of net sales.  At August 31,2003, we had a total workforce of 786 employees, down 64 people or 7.5% from a year ago.  In light of current business conditions, we will continue to review our organization and cost structure to further reduce operating expenses and improve efficiencies.Selling, General and Administrative ExpenseDuring the first nine months of fiscal 2003, selling expense amounted to $5.4 million or 11.6% of sales, compared to $5.1 million or 12.2% of sales for the same period last year.  The decrease in selling expense, as a percentage of sales, principally reflects the impact of higher sales volume and certain fixed selling expenses.  In addition, effective sales commission rates decreased in 2003.  These impacts were partially offset by additional advertising expenses and travel costs.  General and administrative expense was approximately $3.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002.  In 2003, increases in legal and professional fees were substantially offset by reductions in certain variable general and administrative expenses.Other Income and ExpenseWith reduced bank indebtedness and lower average interest rates, interest expense decreased slightly during the period.  For the first nine months of fiscal 2003, interest expense was $89,000, a decrease of $27,000 from the first nine months of last year.PML license and royalty fee income was $98,000 during the first nine months of 2003, compared to $921,000 in the same period last year.  Income from short-term investments amounted to $157,000 in 2003 and $200,000 in 2002.Income TaxesOur effective income tax rate was 37.9% in 2003 and 37.8% in 2002, compared to an applicable statutory federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40.0%.  Differences between the effective tax rate and statutory income tax rate principally arise from state tax provisions and foreign income tax rates.Risk Factors That May Affect Future ResultsIn fiscal year 2002, approximately 42.0% of our sales were to customers in the telecommunications industry.  Our four largest customers, original equipment manufacturers of telecommunications equipment, represented an aggregate 17.0% of our total consolidated net sales in 2002.  Since early in 2001, the telecommunications equipment industry has experienced a severe slowdown.  If this slowdown continues or intensifies, it will have a material negative impact on our future operating performance.  In addition, our results of operations may be negatively affected in the future by a variety of other factors including:  competitive pricing pressures, new technologies which decrease the demand for our products, new product offerings by our competitors, product cost changes, changes in the overall economic climate, cancellation of existing customer order backlog, unanticipated impairment of assets, changes in the availability of raw materials, and changes in product mix.Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial ConditionWe maintain a $6.0 million line of credit with our principal lending institution, PNC Bank, N.A. of Erie, Pennsylvania (the "Bank"), with interest rates on borrowings at or below the prevailing prime rate.  At August 31, 2003, no borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit.  The line of credit agreement contains certain covenants, the most restrictive of which require us to maintain designated minimum levels of net worth and profitability and impose certain restrictions on us regarding additional indebtedness.  At August 31, 2003, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.  Our ability to borrow in the future under this credit facility is dependent on our ongoing compliance with the restrictive covenants.  Whether we continue to comply with these covenants is largely dependent on our ability to attain certain levels of operating performance and profitability in the future, for which there can be no assurance.  Effective February 28, 2003, the line of credit agreement was amended.  Under the amended agreement, future borrowings if any, will be secured by our accounts receivable.  The amended line of credit agreement expires on April 30, 2005.Our wholly-owned German subsidiary maintains an unsecured Euro line of credit with a German financial institution aggregating approximately $1.1 million (Euro 1.0 million).  At August 31, 2003, no borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit.  Future borrowings, if any, will bear interest at rates below the prevailing prime rate and will be payable upon demand.At August 31, 2003, we had net working capital of $45.4 million, compared to $42.6 million at November 30, 2002.  Our current ratio remained very strong throughout the first nine months of fiscal 2003.  At August 31, 2003, current assets were 9.43 times current liabilities, compared to 9.23 at the end of fiscal 2002.In response to the poor overall market conditions, and as part of our related cost containment programs, we continue to control our capital expenditures to minimum required amounts.  In the first nine months of fiscal 2003, our capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment amounted to $608,000.  These capital expenditures were primarily for routine replacement of fixed assets, as well as manufacturing equipment and tooling for our recently established China manufacturing operations.  At August 31, 2003, we had not entered into any material commitments for capital expenditures.We have adopted a stock repurchase program.  Under this program, we may repurchase up to $6.0 million of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.  Acquired shares are to be purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at prevailing market prices.  Funding for these repurchases is expected to come from available cash reserves and borrowings under our revolving line of credit facilities.  The amount and timing of the shares repurchased are based on our ongoing assessment of the Company's capital structure, liquidity, and the market price of the Company's Common Stock.  The repurchased shares are held as treasury stock.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2003, 18,400 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $91,000.  Since the adoption of the stock repurchase program, 676,000 shares have been repurchased at a total cost of $3.6 million.As of August 31, 2003, our obligations and firm commitments are as follows (in thousands):

|Current financial resources, including working capital and existing lines of credit, and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be sufficient to meet operating cash requirements throughout the next twelve months, including scheduled long-term debt repayment, lease commitments, planned capital equipment expenditures and possible stock repurchases.  There can be no assurance, however, that unplanned capital replacement or other future events will not require us to seek additional debt or equity financing and, if so required, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us.Net cash generated by operating activities amounted to $5.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2003.  This positive cash flow reflects our profitable operating performance, as well as improved inventory turnover rates and related inventory reductions.  During the first nine months of 2003, as a result of various inventory control procedures, aggregate inventories decreased by $1.8 million.  Net cash generated by operating activities amounted to $10.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2002.  This strong operating cash flow includes the refund of $3.3 million of federal income taxes from prior year net operating loss carrybacks and overpayments.  In addition, as a result of improved turnover rates and lower sales volume and production requirements, accounts receivable and inventories decreased by $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, during the first nine months of fiscal 2002.At August 31, 2003, goodwill represented 21.8% of total assets and 25.2% of stockholders' equity.  In addition to $3.8 million of goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition of FSY, a majority of our recorded goodwill was recognized in 1999 in connection with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Signal Conditioning Products Division of AMP Incorporated.  Effective December 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142").  SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach.  Accordingly, no amortization of goodwill was recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended August 31, 2003 and 2002.  On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect that the carrying value of goodwill has been diminished or impaired, goodwill must be tested for impairment and a writedown of the asset may be necessary.  No impairment losses have been recognized in any of the periods presented herein.Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").  This Interpretation requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities, is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns, or both.  FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.  It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that was acquired before February 1, 2003.  We have evaluated the provisions of FIN 46 and determined that it will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption during the fourth quarter of 2003.In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149").  SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for hedging activities and derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts.  The Statement clarifies the circumstances in which a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component, and amends certain other existing pronouncements.  SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.  Our adoption of SFAS No. 149 during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150").  The Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS No. 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of settling financial instruments and the capital structure of entities whose shares are mandatorily redeemable.  Most of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  We will adopt SFAS No. 150 in the fourth quarter of 2003 and are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that its adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.Critical Accounting PoliciesThe methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.  The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Based on this definition, we believe our most critical accounting policies relate to the valuation and carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventories, long-lived assets, and deferred tax assets.We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors including an assessment of the customer's financial condition and the length of time a receivable is past due.  At August 31, 2003, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $930,000, or approximately 8.4% of our aggregate accounts receivable.  In determining the adequacy of this allowance, we have assumed that the current volatile market conditions in the telecommunications equipment industry will stabilize sometime in fiscal 2003.  If this stabilization does not occur, or if market conditions deteriorate further, our customers may not be able to meet their financial obligations to us.  Accordingly, our estimate of the recoverability of amounts due us could be reduced by a material amount.At August 31, 2003, we had recorded inventory reserves in the aggregate amount of $3.4 million for excess and slow-moving items.  In determining the adequacy of these reserves, we considered numerous factors including current customer forecasts and estimated usage.  Should these forecasts and estimates change due to market, technological or other factors, the net realizable value of our inventories may be materially less than our current carrying values.With the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we review goodwill for possible impairment at least annually.  Impairment losses are recognized when the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.  The implied fair value of goodwill is contingent upon many factors, including estimates of future discounted operating cash flows.  Long-lived assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of possible impairment exist.  Impairments are recognized when the expected future operating cash flows derived from such assets are less than their carrying values.  No impairment losses have been recognized in any of the periods presented herein.  However, our future cash flow expectations assume that the current poor market conditions throughout the telecommunications equipment industry will begin to significantly improve in 2004.  If long-term market conditions do not improve significantly, our long-lived assets may become materially impaired.We record valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the asset may not be realized.  Presently, we believe that all deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized and a valuation allowance is not required.  We evaluate the need for valuation allowances on a regular basis and make adjustments as needed.  These adjustments, when made, may have a materially negative impact on our financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency

Certain of our European sales and related selling expenses are denominated in Euros, British Pounds Sterling, and other local currencies.  In addition, certain of our operating expenses are denominated in Mexican Pesos.  As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may affect our operating results and cash flows.  To manage our exposure to the Euro and British Pound Sterling, we occasionally enter into forward currency exchange contracts.  At August 31, 2003, no forward currency exchange contracts were outstanding.  For each of the periods presented herein, currency exchange rate gains and losses were not material.

Interest Rate Exposure

We have market risk exposure relating to possible fluctuations in interest rates.  From time to time, we utilize interest rate swap agreements to minimize the risks and costs associated with variable rate debt.  We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  The interest rate swap agreements are entered into with major financial institutions thereby minimizing the risk of credit loss.   At August 31, 2003, no interest rate swap agreements were outstanding.
