1.  MONITOR BUSINESS

    1.  Product description

Computer Monitors are classified in two types

  1. CRT Monitor : computer monitors which use glass tube to reflect the
  picture.

2.  LCD Monitor or Flat Panel Display: computer monitors which use a
    Flat Panel made from Liquid Crystal Display to reflect the picture.
    While the screen size for these monitors are comparable to those in
    the CRT based units, this type of monitor has a smaller “footprint”,
    and uses less energy than a CRT based monitor and does not have the
    electrical field created by the CRT.

  The Cape Group major products include:

-   Digital Display Color Monitors, ranging in size from 15 to 21 inch.

-   Flat Panel Display, ranging in size from 13 to 18 inch.

-   Printed Circuit Boards Assemblies (PCBA) for monitors, for use
    within the Group. However, the Company stopped producing the Printed
    Circuit Boards in the third quarter of 1999 as per management
    decision to transfer computer monitor production from Taiwan to
    Thailand.

-   Market Share

  Capetronic had 0.7% of the worldwide market share of computer monitors
  display in 2001, reduced as compared to the market share 1.5% in 2000
  due to the management’s strategy to concentrate on more profitable
  Trinitron computer monitors in order to reduce the operating loss.

-   Industry Competition and Capetronic Group Position

  Competitive terms of price, payment and warranty service etc are not
  going to slow down/stop. On the contrary, it will be getting severe in
  2002 and foreseeable future.

  To avoid suffering from the extreme competitions, Capetronic will be
  positioned to continue supporting to the business/profit justified on
  LCD monitor display. In addition, a new product line of LCD/TV (LCD
  multi-media) will be introduced to market in 2002, which have good
  opportunity to generate better margin/profit.

-   Opportunity and Obstacle in the Industry

  Effective management for flat panel’s cost and supply would be the
  keys for future success of operation. In addition to the
  extention/enhancement of the current relationship with panel suppliers
  from Taiwan/Korea, Capetronic further establish panel business with
  Japanese vendor by her old connection and relationship. By which,
  competition of quality and supply will be more secured.

1.  Procurement

Production Process

Production Process

1.  Preparation

  All raw materials and equipment are prepared for the production
  process.

2.  PCB Assembly

  There are 3 steps to assemble PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as following
  :

2.1 AI (Auto Insertion)

  In this process, lead components like resistor, capacitor, transistor
  are inserted in PCB by automatic insertion machines.

2.  SMT (Surface Mount Technology)

  SMT Assembly is a process to place and attach SMD (Surface Mount
  Device) type like IC (Integrated Circuit), Diode, Chip Resistor, Chip
  Capacitor directly into prepared PCB.

3.  MI (Manual Insertion)

  There are larger size components such as transformer, heat sink, which
  are unable to insert or place by above process. They are required
  manual insertion by qualified operators.

3.  Wave Soldering

  All PCBs from above process are soldered by wave soldering machines.

4.  Soldering touch up

  The PCB which passed through the wave soldering machine will be
  inspected by well trained operators who will touch up any flaws in the
  soldering quality.

5.  Assembling the PCB Module

  The main board and neck boards are assembled together.

6.  PCB’s functions test

To improve yield rates and the quality of final products, the Company
uses enhanced testing and test equipment to detect possible errors at an
early stage of production. ICT-machines (In Circuit Test) serve the
function of detecting missing or wrong components after AI in the
sub-assembly process. The Company’s main objectives are to assert
continuous efforts in improving testing procedures to ensure there is a
testing function at every production process and to enhance process
quality.

7.  Assembling PCB with CRT and casing

  To assemble the Printed Circuit Board with the CRT and the plastic
  case. The Company’s plastic injection operation which produces most of
  the plastic cases for the monitors produced by the Company enhances
  vertical production integration and scheduling flexibility.

  The product assembly process is largely manual with the various
  assembly stations connected by conveyor belts thus increasing
  efficiency and reducing manual handling. At various stages of the
  assembly process, the sub-assembled parts are checked for quality
  defects before a final quality check is done on the finished product.

  Monitor assembly lines are allocated by CRT size. However, the
  similarity of the products allows low cost and time effective set up
  changes so that the lines can be used very flexibly if required.

8.  Pre-alignment and Testing

Alignment checks are fundamental steps in the production of a computer
monitor. To support a complete range of computer monitor production, the
Company has implemented a technology and process to align the CRT with
the deflection yoke in order to provide better quality and save costs.

9.  Burn-in

  The electrical circuit functions are tested at temperatures ranging
  35+5 Celsius not only to assure the quality of all components but also
  to warm up the CRT for the alignment process which takes place after
  the burn-in.

10. Adjustment of electrical circuits, picture balance, color and
    contrast

  This process standardizes the loading of the electrical circuits and
  the adjustment of electrical circuits as well as the picture’s
  balance, its color, contrast and convergence.

11. Alignment of position, sharpness, size and picture

  The Company employs the CAS system (Camera Alignment System) which
  automatically checks and sets the accuracy of picture performance
  alignment.

12. Power saving testing

  This stage supports environmental issues in terms of energy saving.
  All computer monitors must reach an international standard such as the
  US Environmental Protection Agency’s “Energy Star” level. In this
  phase, all the Company’s monitors are checked to ensure compliance
  with such standards.

13. Safety testing

  The Company recognizes the importance of the ended user’s safety.
  Therefore, the Company emphasizes the safety of its products ensuring
  especially that their Electric and Fire resistance is in conformance
  with universal standards such as TUV/R.

14. Final Quality Inspection

  In this stage, all finish units are performed final quality inspection
  by Quality Control department to ensure those units meet product’s
  specification.

15. Packaging

  To pack the computer monitor into a carton box.

16. Quality Assurance Inspection

  Before moving finished goods to warehouse, Quality Assurance
  department will do sampling some units for inspection to ensure those
  finished goods meet Company quality standard.

17. Warehouse

All finished goods are kept in the appropriate finished goods warehouse
until shipping to customers.

Production Capacity and Output

a)  Computer Monitors

[TABLE]

Remark : 1998 - Factory Bangpakong produced 14, 15, 17 inch CRT monitors

1999 - Factory Bangpakong produced 15, 17, 19, 21 inch CRT monitors

2000 - Factory Bangpakong produced 15, 17, 19, 21 inch CRT monitors and
15, 17, 18 inch LCD monitors

1998 - Factory Kaohsiung produced 15, 17, 19, 21 inch CRT monitors and
13, 15 inch LCD monitors

1999 - Factory Kaohsiung produced 15, 17, 19, 20, 21 inch CRT monitors
and 13, 15, 17, 18 inch LCD monitors

2000 - Factory Kaohsiung transfer the production of computer monitors
and LCD monitors to Bangpakong

2001 - The Company stopped production of Shadow mask computer monitors

  The computer monitor production was transferred from Kaohsiung factory
  to Thailand at the end of 1999. Consequently, the Company had to
  modify the production line to support LCD computer monitor production.
  As a result, average production capacity for 2000 was reduced from
  that in 1999.

  In 2001, production capacity was significantly reduced as compared to
  2000 due to management’s strategy to stop non-profitable Shadow mask
  computer monitors and concentrate on more profitable Trinitron models.
  The production capacity mainly represented Trinitron computer
  monitors’ capacity and part of LCD monitors’capacity.

b)  PCBA

[TABLE]

In the past, the Company produced PCBA to sales for Kaohsiung factory in
Taiwan. However, the production quantity to sales were reduced in 1999
and no further production from early 2000 as a result of the transfer of
production of computer monitors from Taiwan to Thailand.

  In order to source appropriate components for each product and each
  factory, the Company and its associated company have separate and
  independent purchasing teams. Each team will issue Purchase Orders
  directly to its suppliers. The Company’s Research and Development
  Department (R&D) and VQE Department carefully analyze, verify and
  approve the quality and price of the raw materials from suppliers
  before the Company places orders with them. In general, the Company
  and its associated company purchase raw materials from the following
  major suppliers:

  In some cases, customers require that certain components be purchased
  from specific manufacturers in order to control the product quality.
  In other cases, the Company may propose a list of vendors for the
  customer’s approval.

  Although the Company and its associated company have a hierarchy of
  preferred suppliers, changing suppliers is relatively easy as there is
  no dependency on any single supplier. The Company has a preference for
  local suppliers which are documented in the Supplier Quality
  Engineering (“SQE”) program. Nonetheless, the ultimate purchase
  decision is always based on the lowest price with the best quality as
  well as the vendor’s delivery reliability.

  To guarantee the quality of supplied materials, all suppliers’
  products are subjected to rigorous testing. The Company understands
  that it is essential to gain the trust of its customers and thus
  frequently involves them in the process of choosing component and raw
  material suppliers. Therefore, samples are not only tested by the
  Company itself but frequently also by its customers.

  The Company has set up specific short term targets to improve
  inventory turnover, production to delivery time, material supply rate
  while reducing material cost and import expenses.

Raw Materials Problems and Substituted Parts

  One of the problems the Company has faced in the past is an
  insufficient supply of critical components, CRTs and semiconductors.
  To ensure there is an assured supply of these and other key
  components, the Company relies on its long standing relationships with
  many of the suppliers of these parts as well as its advanced inventory
  purchasing and production planning systems. In addition, where
  shortages appear likely or do arise, the Company can place orders with
  secondary suppliers of comparable components. R&D has already
  qualified them as approved vendors i.e. the quality and price of their
  components are acceptable but which are not used on a regular basis.

Changes in Technologies' Effect on Use of Materials

  The Company's Research & Development watch for changes in technologies
  in the Company's products with an impact on the components the Company
  uses in its product. Their responsibility in this area is to ensure
  the Company is always purchasing the most appropriate parts and that
  it is not left with obsolete inventory as a result of technological
  changes.

  The Company was awarded the ISO 14001 standard from AJA EQS. In order
  to maintain these 14001 standards, the Company is required to follow
  waste management practices with higher standards than those mandated
  by various laws in Thailand. To reach the ISO 14001 standard, the
  Company has performed the follows:

  1. Procedure

  The Company has set up a waste management system to manage waste from
  the Company’s production processes or other activities and to classify
  its waste as follow:

A)  Hazardous Waste

-   Solid hazardous waste such as doss, component legs, paint sludge,
    batteries, lead contamination filters, cloth or supplies for
    cleaning chemical, fuel cans, fuel tanks, light bulbs, paint tins.

-   Liquid hazardous waste such as flux waste, solder, thinner, waste
    oil, Hydraulic oil, waste oil etc.

-   Medical / Chemical waste from clinics including hypodermic syringes,
    bandages, cotton pads.

B)  Non - Hazardous Waste

-   Solid Non - Hazardous Waste

(1) Recyclable solid non-hazardous waste such as wooden pallets, carton
    boxes, plastic bags and Styrofoam etc.

(2) Solid non-hazardous waste of no value such as garbage, broken
    pallets, general waste etc.

-   Liquid Non-Hazardous

(1) Canteen waste

(2) Toilet and washroom waste

(3) Waste water from waste pipes or from the cooling tower

2.  Waste is to be Classified as follows:

1)  Dry waste

2)  Wet waste

3)  Metal and glass waste

4)  Hazardous waste

3.  The Company has the following waste management processing stages

    1.  Recyclable valuable waste such as doss, oil containers, pallets,
        paper etc. must be separated and sold to approved
        sub-contractors for reuse or recycling.

    2.  No value waste such as scrap, junk etc. is to be separated and
        collected by approved sub-contractor for destruction.

    3.  Hazardous waste of no value such as flux, thinner, wasted oil,
        hydraulic oil etc. must be separated and collected by approved
        sub-contractors for destruction.

4.  Waste storage facilities are to be separated by waste types and must
    have a roof over them to protect the waste from wind or rain which
    can lead to absorption in the soil.

5.  All data about the Company’s waste treatment must be maintained for
    at least 2 years.

6.  The Company has developed its own measurements and guidelines to
    assess and select waste disposal sub-contractors to ensure that they
    efficiently, adequately and appropriately operate and manage all
    environmental issues in their operations.

  Based on test carried out by various government authorities, the
  Company has been and is in compliance with all environmental
  regulations.
