                      JACO ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1) The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments, which are
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial position and the results of operations at and for the
periods presented. Such financial statements do not include all the information
or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation. Therefore, they should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated statements for the
year ended June 30, 2001 and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

2) The Company has a $70,000,000 revolving line of credit facility
with its banks, which is based principally on eligible accounts receivables and
inventories as defined in the loan agreement. The agreement was amended to (i)
extend the maturity date to September 14, 2003, and (ii) change the requirements
of certain financial covenants. The interest rate is based on the average 30-day
LIBOR plus 1% to 2-1/4% depending on the Company's performance for the
immediately preceding four fiscal quarters measured by a certain financial
ratio. The applicable interest rate may be adjusted quarterly and borrowings
under this facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the
Company.

3) For interim financial reporting purposes, the Company uses the gross profit
method for computing inventories, which consists of goods held for resale.

4) On September 18, 2001, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares of its outstanding common
stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in market or private transactions
at prevailing market prices.

5) On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS No. 141"), "Business
Combinations," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS
No. 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 is effective for
all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. However, certain
provisions of this statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets
acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS No. 142. The new
standards require that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001
be accounted for under the purchase method. In addition, all intangible assets
acquired that are obtained through contractual or legal right, or are capable of
being separately sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged shall be
recognized as an asset apart from goodwill. Goodwill and intangibles with
indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization, but will be subject
to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based
test.

         The Company has adopted, as of July 1, 2001, the provisions of SFAS
Nos. 141 and 142. Accordingly, the results for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2001 excludes approximately $287,000 and $565,000, respectively, of
such amortization, as compared to approximately $222,000 and $444,000, which
were included in the comparable periods last year. The Company has performed a
transitional fair value based impairment test and has determined that no
impairment of goodwill or intangibles exist as of December 31, 2001.

6) In August 2001, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets."  This  statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. This supercedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
while retaining many of the requirements of such statement. The adoption of SFAS
144 is not  expected  to have a  material  impact  or  effect  on the  Companys
financial position or it s results of operations.


7) On June 6, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock, no par value, of Interface Electronics Corp.
("Interface"), a distributor of electronic parts, components and equipment,
located in Massachusetts. The purchase price was $15,400,000 payable in cash at
the closing, plus a deferred payment of $3,953,297. On the second anniversary of
the closing date a deferred payment of up to $2,640,000 shall be paid if certain
conditions, as defined in the purchase agreement, are met. When the remaining
contingency is resolved, the Company shall record the current fair value of the
consideration paid as additional goodwill.

Page 10



The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the operations of
Interface have been included in the Company's Statement of Operations since the
date of acquisition, June 6, 2000. Included in other assets are the costs of the
identifiable intangible assets acquired, principally an employment agreement
which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, and a
franchise agreement which was being amortized on a straight-line basis over
fifteen years until the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142. The excess of the
purchase price and related expenses over the net tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired amounted to approximately $17,604,000 and was being
amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years until the Company's
adoption of SFAS No. 142.


8) On February 25, 2000, the Company purchased the operating assets of PGI,
Industries, Inc., ("PGI") an exporter of electronic components, located in
Ronkonkoma, New York. The purchase price was $1,200,000 paid in cash, plus a
deferred payment of $100,000 payable over the next two years based on certain
conditions, as defined in the purchase agreement. As of December 31, 2001,
$50,000 of the deferred payment has been paid. When the remaining contingency is
resolved, the Company shall record the current fair value of the consideration
issued as additional costs of the acquired enterprise. The acquisition has been
accounted for as a purchase and the operations of PGI have been included in the
Company's Statement of Operations since the date of acquisition, February 25,
2000. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets
acquired, approximately $260,000, was being amortized on a straight-line basis
over twenty years until the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142.

GENERAL

         Jaco is a distributor of electronic components, provider of contract
manufacturing and value-added services. Products distributed by Jaco include
semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, electromechanical devices, flat panel
displays and monitors, and power supplies used in the assembly and manufacturing
of electronic equipment.

         The Company's customers are primarily small and medium sized
manufacturers. The trend for these customers has been to shift certain
manufacturing functions to third parties (outsourcing). The Company intends to
seek to capitalize on this trend toward outsourcing by increasing sales of
products enhanced by value-added services. Value-added services currently
provided by Jaco consist of automated inventory management services, kitting
(e.g. supplying sets of specified quantities of products to a customer that are
prepackaged for ease of feeding the customer's production lines), and contract
manufacturing through Nexus Custom Electronics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. The Company is also expanding in the flat panel display
value-added market, which includes full system integration, kitting and the
implementation of touch technologies.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31,
2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales for the three and six months  ended  December 31, 2001 were $42.4
million and $91.8 million,  respectively,  compared to $100.2 million and $194.4
million for the three and six months  ended  December  31,  2000,  respectively,
representing  decreases  of 57.7% and  52.8%.  The  decreases  are the result of
continuing weak demand for components  throughout the electronics industry and a
general slowdown in the global economy. Additionally, as a result of the reduced
demand,  many of our customers  have a surplus of  inventory.  At such time that
this surplus  diminishes  the Company  believes that sales will  increase.  Weak
demand  negatively  impacted sales in all product groups except flat panels.  As
applications  for  flat  panel  usage  increases,   the  Company  has  dedicated
additional  resources to this market and has realized sequential growth compared
to the  first  quarter  of this  fiscal  year.  Also,  the  focus on the sale of
integrated flat panel product has resulted in new flat panel business.

FORM 10-Q                                                     December 31, 2001
Page 15

         Gross profit was $6.6 million, or 15.6% and $14.6 million, or 15.9% for
the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to
$20.1 million, or 20.0% and $40.7 million, or 20.9% for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2000, representing decreases of 67.1% and 64.1%. Demand for
components continues to be weak. We do not foresee any material increase in
gross margin until such time that demand for our product improves.

         Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $8.2 million
and $17.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001,
respectively, compared to $12.1 million and $23.9 million for the three and six
months ended December 31, 2000, respectively. This represents a decrease of $3.9
million, or 32.0% and $6.3 million, or 26.4% for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to the same periods for Fiscal 2001.
As a result of weak demand, it has been necessary to significantly reduce
staffing levels in all departments. The Company has reduced costs that are
deemed discretionary and has seen a decrease in variable costs, such as
commissions paid to sales personnel, as a result of the decrease in sales.
Though management is continuing to review all SG&A expenses, we believe that we
have not hindered our ability to grow as customers demand increases.

         Interest expense decreased to $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to $1.2
million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000,
respectively, representing decreases of 53.9% and 36.4%. The reduction of
interest expense is attributable to the Company's ability to reduce inventory
levels as demand has weakened, a decrease in Accounts Receivable as a function
of sales, and a reduction in borrowing rates.

         Net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 was $1.3
million, or $0.23 per share diluted, and $2.8 million, or $0.49 per share
diluted, respectively, compared to net earnings of $4.0 million, or $0.65 per
share diluted and $8.7 million, or $1.40 per share diluted for the three and six
months ended December 31, 2000, respectively. The Company was unable to reduce
costs during this time period to the same extent as sales decreased.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

     Our agreement  with our banks,  as amended,  expires on September 14, 2003.
The agreement  provides us with a $70 million  revolving line of credit facility
based principally on eligible accounts  receivable and inventories as defined in
the agreement.  The interest rate of the credit facility is based on the average
30-day  LIBOR  rate  plus  1.0%-2.25%  depending  on  our  performance  for  the
immediately  preceding  four fiscal  quarters  measured  by a certain  financial
ratio, and may be adjusted  quarterly.  The outstanding balance on the revolving
line of credit facility was $42.0 million at December 31, 2001. Borrowings under
this  facility  are  collateralized  by  substantially  all of our  assets.  The
agreement,  as amended on February 6, 2002,  contains provisions for maintenance
of  certain  financial  ratios,  all of which we were in  compliance  with as of
December 31, 2001, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends.

     For the six months ended  December 31, 2001, our cash provided by operating
activities  was  approximately  $13.8  million,  as compared to net cash used in
operating  activities of $17.6 million for the same period last fiscal year. The
increase  in net cash  provided  is  primarily  attributable  to a  decrease  in
accounts  receivable and inventory.  This was partially  offset by a decrease in
accounts  payable and accrued  expenses  for the six months  ended  December 31,
2001.  The decrease in accounts  receivable  and inventory was the result of the
decrease in net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2001, as compared to
the same period last year.  Net cash used in investing  activities  decreased to
$0.7  million for the six months ended  December  31, 2001,  as compared to $1.7
million for the six months ended  December  31, 2000.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to a reduction in capital expenditures.  Net cash used in financing
activities  was $13.1  million  for the six months  ended  December  31, 2001 as
compared to net cash  provided by financing  activities of $19.0 million for the
comparable  period last fiscal year.  The increase in net cash used is primarily
attributable to the decrease in the outstanding balance on the revolving line of
credit  facility  from $54.6  million as of June 30, 2001 to $42.0 million as of
December 31, 2001,  which was a result of the  decreases in accounts  receivable
and inventory.

FORM 10-Q                                                      December 31, 2001
Page 16



               For the six months ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
our inventory turnover was 2.8x and 4.9x, respectively. The average days
outstanding of our accounts receivable at December 31, 2001 were 63 days, as
compared to 48 days at December 31, 2000.

     We believe that cash flow from  operations  and funds  available  under our
credit  facility will be sufficient to fund our capital needs for the forseeable
future.  However,  our cash  expenditures  may vary  significantly  from current
levels,  based on a number of  factors,  including,  but not  limited  to future
acquisitions,  if any. While there can be no assurances that such financing will
be  available,  the  Company  believes  it will be able to  continue  to  obtain
financing on acceptable terms.



Inflation

         Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations
during the last three fiscal years.



Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
----------------------------------------------------------

         We are exposed to interest rate changes with respect to our credit
facility which bears interest at the higher of the prime rate or the federal
funds rate plus 0.5%, or at our option, at a rate equal to the average 30-day
LIBOR rate plus 1.0% to 2.25% depending on our performance for the immediately
preceding four fiscal quarters measured by a certain financial ratio, and may be
adjusted quarterly. At January 31, 2002, $43.3 million was outstanding under the
credit facility. Changes in the LIBOR interest rate during the fiscal year will
have a positive or negative effect on our interest expense. Each 1.0%
fluctuation in the LIBOR interest rate will increase or decrease interest
expense for us by approximately $0.4 million based on outstanding borrowings at
January 31, 2002.

               The impact of interest rate fluctuations on other floating rate
debt is not material.
