NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

================================================================================

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals or adjustments only) necessary to present fairly the financial position
at September 30, 1996, and the results of operations and the cash flows for all
periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the entire year.

For a summary of significant accounting policies (which have not changed from
December 31, 1995) and additional financial information, see the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, including the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which should be read in
conjunction with these financial statements.

Prior periods' financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the
current period's presentation.

2.       LONG-TERM DEBT

On May 3, 1996 the Company entered into a new $100 million line of credit
facility with a group of banks (the "New Credit Facility") which expires May 3,
2001. At the time of entering into such facility, borrowings under the New
Credit Facility bore interest, at the Company's option, at either prime plus
one-quarter of one percent (.25%) or LIBOR plus two and one-quarter percent
(2.25%). Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are secured by all of the
Company's assets including accounts receivable, inventories and equipment. The
amounts that the Company may borrow under the New Credit Facility are based upon
specified percentages of the Company's eligible accounts receivable and
inventories (as defined). Under the New Credit Facility, the Company is required
to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants as well as to comply
with certain financial ratios. These covenants, among other things, place
limitations and restrictions on the Company's borrowings, investments and
transactions with affiliates and prohibit dividends and stock redemptions.
Furthermore, the New Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain certain
minimum levels of tangible net worth throughout the term of the agreement and a
minimum debt service coverage ratio which is tested on a quarterly basis. In
August 1996, and November 1996, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the
Company's New Credit Facility was amended whereby certain financial covenants
were modified. In addition, the November 1996 amendment increased the Company's
borrowing rate by one-quarter of one percent (.25%).

In connection with the New Credit Facility, on May 6, 1996, the Company repaid
all outstanding borrowings under the Company's previous $45 million line of
credit facility and repaid the Company's $15 million senior subordinated
promissory note (the "Subordinated Note"). The Subordinated Note had been issued
on March 18, 1996 and was scheduled to mature on July 31, 1997. As a result of
the early extinguishment of the Subordinated Note, the Company accrued, in the
first quarter of 1996, an extraordinary after-tax expense of $214,000, net of a
related income tax benefit of $161,000. The extraordinary expense as well as the
related decrease in subordinated debt and increase in notes payable are
reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.

At September 30, 1996, outstanding borrowings under the Company's credit
facility aggregated $53,266,000.

3.       ACQUISITIONS

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company purchased all of the capital stock of
Programming Plus Incorporated ("PPI"), which provides programming and tape and
reel services with respect to electronic components. The purchase price for PPI
consisted of $1,375,000 of common stock of the Company, valued at $2.50 per
share. Only 60,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $150,000,
were released to the PPI selling

shareholders at closing. The $1,225,000 balance of the consideration
("Additional Consideration"), represented by 489,999 shares of common stock of
the Company, was retained in escrow by the Company, as escrow agent. The
Additional Consideration will be released to the PPI selling shareholders
annually if and based upon certain levels of pre-tax net income being attained
by the acquired company for the years ended December 31, 1996 through December
31, 2000. If, as of December 31, 2000, all of the Additional Consideration has
not been released, the balance held in escrow will be canceled. The PPI selling
shareholders must vote all of the Company's common stock issued to them (whether
or not held in escrow) as directed by the Company until the escrow is
terminated. In addition, the PPI selling shareholders entered into a four-year
consulting obligation with PPI in consideration of certain automobile benefits,
and a covenant not to compete with PPI. The total amount paid by PPI for such
automobile benefits and covenant was $150,000. The acquisition was accounted for
by the purchase method of accounting which resulted in the recognition of
approximately $70,000 of excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired. The
excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired was subsequently deemed
impaired (see Note 4 below) and, as of September 30, 1996, was written-off. The
assets, liabilities and operating results of PPI are included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition.

On December 29, 1995, the Company purchased through two separate mergers with
and into the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries all of the capital stock of
Added Value Electronics Distribution, Inc. and A.V.E.D.-Rocky Mountain, Inc.
(collectively, the "Added Value Companies"). The assets, liabilities and
operating results of the Added Value Companies are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date of the acquisitions. See Note 4 below
regarding impairment of goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of the
Added Value Companies.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement data presents
the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1995 as if the acquisitions of the Added Value
Companies and PPI had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented:

have occurred had the acquisitions been made as of such date or of the results
which may occur in the future.

4.       IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL

In connection with the Company's acquisitions of the Added Value Companies and
PPI, at September 30, 1996, the Company recognized an impairment of goodwill.
This noncash charge of approximately $2,400,000, which is primarily related to
the Added Value Companies, has no associated tax benefit. A variety of factors
contributed to the impairment of the goodwill relating to the Added Value
Companies. These factors include a significant reduction in the revenues and
operating results generated by the Added Value Companies` customer base acquired
by the Company, a restructuring of the Added Value Companies' kitting and
turnkey operations due to the Company determining that it was not economically
feasible to continue and expand such division as originally planned, as well as
the termination of certain principals and senior management of the Added Value
Companies who became employees of the Company at the time of the closing of the
acquisitions. See Note 5 below. These factors have greatly reduced the estimated
future cash flows from the Added Value Companies. In determining the amount of
the impairment charge, the Company developed its best estimate of projected
operating cash flows over the remaining period of expected benefit. Projected
future cash flows were discounted

and compared to the carrying value of the related goodwill. As a result, a
write-down of approximately $2,400,000 was recorded as of September 30, 1996.

5.        RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER NONRECURRING EXPENSES

During the third quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a pretax charge of
$1,092,000 associated primarily with the restructuring of its kitting and
turnkey operations. The kitting department was created toward the end of 1994
and, at the time of the December 1995 acquisitions of the Added Value Companies,
the Company intended to utilize the extensive kitting capabilities acquired and
expand such service nationwide. In addition, the acquisitions provided the
Company with capabilities in turnkey manufacturing services. After evaluating,
with the assistance of consultants, the Company's cost structure and service
capabilities, management determined that it was not economically feasible to
continue its current level of investment in such services, especially in light
of the adverse market conditions within the industry. As a result, the Company
adopted a plan to restructure its kitting and turnkey operations. In connection
with this plan, the Company reduced the related workforce and accrued for
employee severance and related benefits and wrote down various related assets.
The portion of the restructuring charge which represented severance and related
benefits aggregated approximately $625,000. The workforce reductions primarily
affected approximately 90 employees of the Company's sales, management and
operations departments. As of September 30, 1996, approximately $56,000 of
termination benefits were applied to the restructuring accrual. The Company
expects to pay approximately 30% of the accrued liability by the end of 1996,
with the balance expected to be paid during 1997. After the completion of the
restructuring, the Company should have reduced overhead and enhanced operational
efficiency.

In addition, in the third quarter of 1996, the Company wrote-off $2,000,000 of
inventory associated primarily with the restructuring of the kitting and turnkey
operations which is reflected in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Operations.

In June 1996, the Company terminated certain employment agreements which were
entered into in connection with the Added Value Companies' acquisitions. As a
result, the Company accrued $485,000 of nonrecurring expenses in the second
quarter of 1996, representing the aggregate of the payments to be made under
such agreements through their expiration dates of December 31, 1997.

In May 1996, the Company decided to close its cable assembly division in Lisle,
Illinois and to relocate certain of such operations to its Miami distribution
facility. Accordingly, the Company accrued $445,000 of nonrecurring expenses in
the first quarter of 1996 relating to such decision, including the write-down of
certain cable assembly-specific inventory, operating costs through the date of
relocation and severance pay.

6.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In June 1995, the Company established a computer products division ("CPD") which
operates under the name Access Micro Products. This division sells
microprocessors, motherboards, computer upgrade kits, keyboards and disk drives
primarily to value added resellers, retailers and distributors of computer
products. During the first quarter of 1996 this division was profitable and
growing. As a result of this growth and at the request of the division's primary
supplier, the Company expanded its staffing and infrastructure to support the
expected continued growth. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company was
notified by the division's primary supplier that it had discontinued the
production of certain products that were the mainstay of the Company's computer
products division. Although the Company obtained additional product offerings,
without these mainstay products revenues of Access Micro Products were severely
impacted and, as a result, management decided to discontinue CPD. The Company
finalized its plan of disposal during the third quarter of 1996. Accordingly,
this division is accounted for as discontinued operations and the results of
operations for all periods shown are segregated in the accompanying Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Operations. Net sales, cost

of sales, operating expenses and income taxes for the prior periods have been
reclassified for amounts associated with the discontinued division. The loss on
disposal of $2,791,000, on an pretax basis, includes the estimated costs and
expenses associated with the disposal of $2,326,000 as well as a provision of
$465,000 for operating losses during the phase-out period, which is expected to
be approximately six months.

Sales from this division were $835,000, $5,894,000, $436,000 and $436,000 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and for the same periods of
1995, respectively. The net assets of discontinued operations, after reflecting
certain noncash write-offs of inventory and receivables, included in the
accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 1996 are
summarized as follows:

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

================================================================================

All American Semiconductor, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
national distributor of electronic components manufactured by others. The
Company distributes a full range of semiconductors (active components),
including transistors, diodes, memory devices and other integrated circuits, as
well as passive components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors and
electromechanical products including cable, connectors, filters and sockets.
These products are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs")
in a diverse and growing range of industries, including manufacturers of
computers and computer-related products, satellite and communications products,
consumer goods, robotics and industrial equipment, defense and aerospace
equipment and medical instrumentation. In June 1995, the Company began
distributing a very limited offering of computer products, presently consisting
of microprocessors, motherboards, computer upgrade kits, keyboards and disk
drives. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company decided to discontinue its
computer products division. See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements. As a result of certain acquisitions completed in December
1995, the Company is also involved in the design, manufacture and sale of flat
panel display products, as well as standard and custom memory module products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $56.5
million and $181.2 million, representing a 21.5% and 39.1% increase over net
sales of $46.5 million and $130.3 million for the same periods of 1995. The
increases were primarily attributable to revenues generated by acquired
companies, higher sales in certain territories, and revenues generated from new
sales offices. While sales for the 1996 periods were ahead of last year, sales
for the third quarter of 1996 represented the second consecutive quarterly
decline and were substantially below the Company's expectations due to adverse
market conditions and continued price erosion on a broad range of products.

Gross profit, without giving effect to a $2.0 million inventory write-off
associated primarily with the Company's restructuring plan of its kitting and
turnkey operations (see Note 5 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements), was $13.0 million in the third quarter of 1996 representing a 27.2%
increase over gross profit of $10.3 million for the same period of 1995. For the
first nine months of 1996, gross profit was $41.8 million, excluding the
inventory write-off, compared to $28.9 million for the same period of 1995,
representing a 44.5% increase. The increases were due to the growth in sales as
well as the increase in gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales. Gross
profit margins as a percentage of net sales, without giving effect to the
inventory write-off, were 23.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of
1996 compared to 22.0% and 22.2% for the third quarter and first nine months of
1995. The increase in gross profit margins primarily reflects a fewer number of
low margin, large volume transactions during the 1996 periods than in the
previous year. After giving effect to the inventory write-off, gross profit
dollars were $11.0 million and $39.8 million and gross profit margins were 19.5%
and 22.0% for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") was $14.0 million for the
third quarter of 1996 compared to $8.0 million for the third quarter of 1995.
SG&A for the first nine months of 1996 was $40.1 million compared to $23.0
million for the same period of 1995. The increases were primarily the result of
the December 1995 acquisitions as well as the Company's rapid growth and
aggressive expansion. In connection with such acquisitions, all categories of
SG&A increased. In addition, the Company incurred consulting fees associated
with the systems conversions of the acquired companies and with the further
development of the Company's value added strategies. SG&A also increased as a
result of two new divisions, Aved Industries and Apex Solutions, which were
created as part of the acquisitions. Aved Industries concentrates on the design,
manufacture, sales and marketing of flat panel display products and technical
support for these products, as well as the design, manufacture, sales and
marketing of standard and custom memory module products. Apex Solutions was
created to expand the Company's ability to support kitting and turnkey services
on a national basis. In connection with these two new divisions, the Company
increased staffing and also incurred additional operating expenses. In addition
to the impact of these acquisitions, variable SG&A expenses, including sales

commissions and telephone expenses, increased as a result of the increases in
sales for the 1996 periods over the same periods of 1995.

In order to drive and support future growth as well as to support the operations
of the above referenced acquisitions, the Company expanded its sales personnel;
during the latter part of 1995 and early 1996 opened five new sales offices,
created and staffed northeast and southwest credit departments and increased
staffing in almost all corporate departments. Furthermore, in an effort to
diversify its business and expand its service capabilities and product
offerings, the Company, during 1995, created a computer products division
("CPD") which distributes microprocessors, motherboards and other computer
products; and created a cable assembly division in Lisle, Illinois, which in May
1996 was relocated to the Company's Miami distribution facility. During 1996,
the Company relocated its west coast programming and distribution center into a
significantly larger facility and added additional staff for these operations.
In early 1996, the Company also acquired Programming Plus Incorporated (see Note
3 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) and further increased
staffing to support CPD. As a result of all of the foregoing, SG&A for the 1996
periods reflects increased salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefit costs as
well as additional operating expenses such as rent and office supplies.

SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 24.8% and 22.1% for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to 17.3% and 17.6% for the same
periods of 1995. The increases in SG&A as a percentage of net sales reflect the
increases in expenses associated with the acquisitions and expansion described
above, the additional operating costs in connection with the restructuring as
well as with the continued building of the Company's infrastructure to support
significantly higher sales levels than were attained. SG&A in absolute dollars
and as a percentage of net sales may further increase in the near term.

Due to the recent adverse market conditions and the significantly lower than
anticipated sales level, the Company has developed and begun implementing
expense control strategies and has restructured and discontinued unprofitable
divisions. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company determined that it was
not economically feasible to continue its current level of investment in Apex
Solutions, especially in light of the adverse market conditions within the
industry. As a result, the Company adopted a plan to restructure its kitting and
turnkey operations. In connection with this plan, the Company reduced the
related workforce and accrued for employee severance and related benefits and
wrote down various related assets. This restructuring resulted in a pretax
charge of $1.1 million which is reflected as restructuring and other
nonrecurring expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Operations. See Note 5 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In addition, SG&A for the 1996 periods includes approximately $800,000 of costs
primarily associated with operating Apex Solutions during the restructuring
phase. In addition, based on a decision made in the third quarter of 1996, the
Company is in the process of closing CPD and has reflected this division in the
accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as discontinued
operations. See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The positive impact of these strategies may not be realized until future
periods. The Company believes that as the expense adjustments take effect,
including the benefits of the restructuring of the kitting and turnkey
operations and the discontinuance of CPD, and as the adverse market conditions
subside, the Company should improve its performance in the future.

In connection with the Company's acquisitions of the Added Value Companies and
PPI, at September 30, 1996, the Company recognized an impairment of goodwill.
This noncash charge of approximately $2,400,000, which is primarily related to
the Added Value Companies, has no associated tax benefit. A variety of factors
contributed to the impairment of the goodwill relating to the Added Value
Companies. These factors include a significant reduction in the revenues and
operating results generated by the Added Value Companies' customer base acquired
by the Company, a restructuring of the Added Value Companies' kitting and
turnkey operations due to the Company determining that it was not economically
feasible to continue and expand such division as originally planned, as well as
the termination of certain principals and senior management of the Added Value
Companies who became employees of the Company at the time of the closing of the
acquisitions. These factors

have greatly reduced the estimated future cash flows from the Added Value
Companies. See Notes 4 and 5 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements.

For the third quarter of 1996, after deducting the above mentioned inventory
write-off, impairment of goodwill and restructuring and other nonrecurring
expenses, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $6.5 million.
This compared to $2.2 million of income from continuing operations for the third
quarter of 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the loss from
continuing operations was $4.8 million, after deducting the previously described
inventory write-off, impairment of goodwill and restructuring expenses
associated with the kitting and turnkey operations, as well as other
nonrecurring expenses relating to the termination of certain employment
agreements entered into in connection with the acquisitions of the Added Value
Companies and the relocation of the Company's Illinois cable assembly division.
See Notes 4 and 5 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Income from continuing operations was $6.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The decreases in income from continuing operations, without
giving effect to these charges, was attributable to the increases in SG&A which
more than offset the increase in sales and gross profit margins.

Interest expense increased to $1.5 million and $3.9 million for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1996, as compared to $627,000 and $2.0 million
for the same periods of 1995. The increases resulted from additional borrowings
to fund the two acquisitions completed in December 1995 as well as additional
borrowings required to support the Company's growth. Interest expense for the
1996 periods also reflects amortization of deferred financing fees as well as
the impact from the increase in the Company's borrowing rate under the New
Credit Facility. See Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements.

After giving effect to the previously described after-tax write-off of
inventory, impairment of goodwill, restructuring and other nonrecurring
expenses, as well as a loss from discontinued operations of CPD, the Company had
a net loss of $7.4 million, $.37 per share, and $7.7 million, $.38 per share,
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to net income
of $841,000, $.05 per share ($.04 fully diluted), and $2.2 million, $.15 per
share ($.14 fully diluted), for the 1995 periods. Management decided to
discontinue CPD due to revenues generated by this division being significantly
below the Company's expectations principally as a result of the division's
primary supplier discontinuing the production of certain products that were the
mainstay of this division. The loss from discontinued operations reflects the
estimated costs and expenses associated with the disposal, including the
write-off of certain assets, as well as a provision for operating losses during
the phase-out period which is expected to be approximately six months. Included
in the first nine months of 1996 is an extraordinary after-tax gain of $272,000
recognized in connection with the Company's settlement of a civil litigation.
The nine-month period of 1996 also includes an extraordinary after-tax expense
of $214,000 resulting from the early extinguishment of the Company's $15 million
senior subordinated promissory note.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital at September 30, 1996 increased to $73.2 million, from working
capital of $59.4 million at December 31, 1995. The current ratio was 3.10:1 at
September 30, 1996, as compared to 2.31:1 at December 31, 1995. The increase in
the current ratio was primarily due to an increase in other current assets
relating to a receivable generated in 1996 in connection with income tax
benefits associated with the restructuring and other nonrecurring expenses, and
discontinued operations, as well as a reduction in accounts payable and accrued
expenses. Accounts receivable levels at September 30, 1996 were $34.1 million,
down slightly from accounts receivable of $35.1 million at December 31, 1995.
The decrease in accounts receivable at September 30, 1996 was due to a noncash
write-off of $1.1 million of accounts receivable relating to the closing of CPD
as well as a decrease in the average number of days that accounts receivables
were outstanding from December 31, 1995. Inventory levels were $67.5 million at
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The inventory balance at September 30,
1996 reflects noncash write-offs of $2.0 million relating to the restructuring
of the kitting and turnkey operations and $650,000 relating to the closing of
CPD. Accounts

payable and accrued expenses decreased to $33.8 million at September 30, 1996
from $43.5 million at December 31, 1995. This decrease was primarily due to the
payment of liabilities incurred in connection with the two acquisitions
completed in December 1995, which was partially offset by the increase in
accrued expenses associated with the restructuring of the kitting and turnkey
operations and the closing of the computer products division. The Company
expects to pay approximately 30% of this accrued liability by the end of 1996,
with the balance expected to be paid during 1997. See Notes 5 and 6 to Notes to
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

On May 3, 1996 the Company entered into a new $100 million line of credit
facility with a group of banks (the "New Credit Facility") which expires May 3,
2001. At the time of entering into such facility, borrowings under the New
Credit Facility bore interest, at the Company's option, at either prime plus
one-quarter of one percent (.25%) or LIBOR plus two and one-quarter percent
(2.25%). Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are secured by all of the
Company's assets including accounts receivable, inventories and equipment. The
amounts that the Company may borrow under the New Credit Facility are based upon
specified percentages of the Company's eligible accounts receivable and
inventories (as defined). Under the New Credit Facility, the Company is required
to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants as well as to comply
with certain financial ratios. These covenants, among other things, place
limitations and restrictions on the Company's borrowings, investments and
transactions with affiliates and prohibit dividends and stock redemptions.
Furthermore, the New Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain certain
minimum levels of tangible net worth throughout the term of the agreement and a
minimum debt service coverage ratio which is tested on a quarterly basis. In
August 1996, and November 1996, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the
Company's New Credit Facility was amended whereby certain financial covenants
were modified. In addition, the November 1996 amendment increased the Company's
borrowing rate by one-quarter of one percent (.25%). See Note 2 to Notes to
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. At September 30, 1996, outstanding
borrowings under the New Credit Facility aggregated $53.3 million.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company purchased all of the capital stock of
Programming Plus Incorporated ("PPI"). The purchase price for PPI consisted of
$1,375,000 of common stock of the Company, valued at $2.50 per share. Only
60,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $150,000, were released
to the PPI selling shareholders at closing. The $1,225,000 balance of the
consideration ("Additional Consideration"), represented by 489,999 shares of
common stock of the Company, was retained in escrow by the Company, as escrow
agent. The Additional Consideration will be released to the PPI selling
shareholders annually if and based upon certain levels of pre-tax net income
being attained by the acquired company for the years ended December 31, 1996
through December 31, 2000. If, as of December 31, 2000, all of the Additional
Consideration has not been released, the balance held in escrow will be
canceled. The PPI selling shareholders must vote all of the Company's common
stock issued to them (whether or not held in escrow) as directed by the Company
until the escrow is terminated. In addition, the PPI selling shareholders
entered into a four-year consulting obligation with PPI in consideration of
certain automobile benefits, and a covenant not to compete with PPI. The total
amount paid by PPI for such automobile benefits and covenant was $150,000. The
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting which
resulted in the recognition of approximately $70,000 of excess cost over fair
value of net assets acquired. The excess cost over fair value of net assets
acquired was subsequently deemed impaired and, as of September 30, 1996, was
written-off. The assets, liabilities and operating results of PPI are included
in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of
acquisition. See Note 3 to Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Company expects that its cash flows from operations and additional
borrowings available under the New Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet
its current financial requirements over the next twelve months.
