NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1:  Management's Responsibility For Interim Financial Statements Including All Adjustments Necessary For Fair Presentation

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described within. The audit opinion included in the December 31, 2004 Form 10-K annual report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The factors which resulted in the explanatory paragraph are continuing. Results for the first three months of 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year.

Note 2: Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on the average or first-in, first-out methods) or market. The composition of inventories at the end of the respective periods is as follows:

Note 3: Senior and Subordinated Debt

On March 31, 2005, the Company's liability to the holder of its senior debt, including accrued interest of $755,000, was $25,615,000. During the fourth quarter of 2004, SHF IX LLC, an affiliate Minnesota-based Stonehill Financial, LLC, purchased the Company's senior debt of approximately $25,000,000 from Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. Under recent amendments, the loan becomes due and payable on July 1, 2005. If the agreement is not extended beyond July 1, 2005, and if the holder of the senior debt demands payment of all or a significant portion of the loan when due, the Company will not be able to continue in business and it is likely that the Company will seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code. 

As of March 31, 2005, the Company's short-term debt also included $6,144,000 of subordinated debt that became due on July 3, 2001 and $385,000 of 6% debentures which became due on July 2, 2002. Accrued interest on the subordinated notes was approximately $4,360,000, which represents interest from July 2000 through March 31, 2005, and accrued interest on the 6% debentures was $110,000. We are precluded by the holder of our senior debt from paying any principal or interest on the subordinated debt.

Page 5 of 12



 
Note 4: Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

The Company applies the intrinsic value method as outlined in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for stock options. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense is recognized if the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and net income per common share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option programs had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed therein. Since there was no stock-based compensation in the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, pro forma income is the same as the reported net income.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123(R) requires all stock-based compensation to be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured according to the fair value of stock options. SFAS 123(R) will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, which for the Company is the first quarter of 2006. While the Company currently provides the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," on a quarterly basis (see above), it is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5: Segment Data

The Company has three reportable segments: Line Connection and Protection Equipment ("Line") whose products interconnect copper telephone lines to switching equipment and provide fuse elements that protect telephone equipment and personnel from electrical surges; Signal Processing ("Signal") whose products are used in data communication devices that employ high frequency transformer technology, and Operating Support Systems ("OSS") whose products automate the testing, provisioning, maintenance and administration of communication networks and the management of support personnel and equipment.

Because of continuing losses in the OSS division, combined with difficulties in marketing OSS products in view of our financial condition, we limit our OSS activities to the performance of maintenance and warranty services. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, OSS sales were $208,000, which was approximately 2.7% of the Company's revenue and the OSS operations generated a loss of approximately $273,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, OSS sales were $811,000, which was approximately 10.0% of the Company's revenue and the OSS operations generated a loss of approximately $298,000. The Company anticipates that the OSS revenue will represent an increasingly smaller portion of our revenue.

The factors used to determine the above segments focused primarily on the types of products and services provided, and the type of customer served. Each of these segments is managed separately from the others, and management evaluates segment performance based on operating income.

There has been no significant change from December 31, 2004 in the basis of measurement of segment revenues and profit or loss, and no significant change in the Company's assets.

Overview
 
We operate in the telecommunications industry, and our customer base consists largely of government-owned and privately-owned telecommunications companies. Our line connection and protection equipment ("Line") interconnects copper telephone lines to switching equipment and provides fuse elements that protect telephone equipment and personnel from electrical surges. Our signal processing ("Signal") equipment is used in data communication devices that employ high frequency transformer technology. Our Operating Support Systems ("OSS"), which are becoming an increasingly less important part of our business, automate the testing, provisioning, maintenance and administration of communication networks and the management of support personnel and equipment.

Because of continuing losses in the OSS division, combined with difficulties in marketing OSS products in view of our financial condition, we limit our OSS activities to the performance of maintenance and warranty services. In addition, we are trying to sell our remaining OSS inventory although we did not generate any sales of OSS inventory in the first quarter of 2005 and sales of OSS inventory were minimal during 2004. We expect our OSS business to continue to decline in future years, and we do not anticipate that we will enter into new maintenance contracts when our warranty obligations terminate or renew existing maintenance contracts when they expire.

Our Line equipment is designed to connect copper-wired telecommunications networks and to protect telecommunications equipment from voltage surges. We market this equipment to telephone operating companies in the United States and foreign countries. Our Line division operated at a profit for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004. We market Signal equipment principally for use in defense and aerospace applications. The Signal division generated operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the comparable period of 2004. We recognize revenue from Line and Signal products when the product is shipped.

Our senior debt matures on July 1, 2005. Although the holder of our senior debt has extended the maturity date from time to time as we approached an expiration date, the holder may not extend the loan beyond July 1, 2005 and if the holder does grant an extension, it may be the final extension which the holder grants to us. Any extension may be contingent upon our making or agreeing to make significant payments on account of the senior debt, which may affect our ability to conduct our business and, if such payments impair our ability to conduct business, it is likely that we will seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code. If the holder of our senior debt does not extend the maturity date of our obligations and demands payment of all or a significant portion of our obligations due to the holder, we will not be able to continue in business and it is likely that we will seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code. We cannot assure you that the holder of our senior debt will not demand payment of all or a significant portion of our obligations or that we will not seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code in anticipation of a decision by the holder to demand payment.

Results of Operations

Our sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $7,615,000, representing a decrease of $485,000 (6%) compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $8,100,000. The decreased sales level resulted primarily from decreased sales of OSS products, and to a significantly lesser extent from a small decrease in sales of our Line products. The reductions were offset by an increase in Signal processing revenue.

Line equipment sales slightly decreased by $265,000 (4%) from $5,972,000 for the March 2004 quarter to $5,707,000 for the March 2005 quarter, principally as a result of a decline in sales to British Telecommunications from the first quarter of 2004.

Signal processing revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to 2004 increased by $353,000 (27%) from $1,303,000 to $1,656,000. This increase resulted from our ability to ship orders from backlog on a more timely basis than in the comparable period of 2004.

OSS sales decreased by $603,000 (74%) from $811,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $208,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The decreased sales resulted from the reduction in the scope of our OSS operations.

 Gross margin for the March 2005 quarter was 41% compared to 39% for the March 2004 quarter. This increase is from our Line and Signal processing segments, somewhat offset by a decrease in the OSS margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $289,000 (20%) from $1,466,000 in the March 2004 quarter to $1,177,000 in the March 2005 quarter. This decrease relates primarily to reduced OSS sales expenses as our marketing activities for OSS were sharply reduced during 2004 and into the first quarter of 2005.

Research and development expenses decreased by $92,000 (18%) from $513,000 in the March 2004 quarter to $421,000 in the March 2005 quarter. During the March 2004 quarter, a significant portion of our research and development related to OSS, and the elimination of this activity resulted in an overall decrease despite an increase in research and development for our Line business.

As a result of the foregoing, we had an operating income of $1,545,000 for the March 2005 quarter, as compared to an operating income of $1,151,000 for the March 2004 quarter.

We continue to accrue interest on obligations to the holder of $2,225,000 of our senior debt, which represents interest on senior debt that we incurred subsequent to March 2002. In addition, there is outstanding an old term loan, in the principal amount of approximately $23,000,000, that accrues no interest commencing March 1, 2002, until such time as the holder of the debt, in its sole discretion, notifies us that interest, at a rate of 12%, or a default rate of 14%, shall be payable. The holder of the senior debt has not required us to pay interest on this amount.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 relates to state and foreign taxes. No federal income tax expense has been provided due to the availability of net operating loss carry forwards.

As the result of the foregoing, we generated net income of $1,203,000, $.12 per share (basic and diluted), for the March 2005 quarter versus net income of $828,000, $0.08 per share (basic and diluted), for the March 2004 quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

At March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,560,000 compared with $2,040,000 at December 31, 2004. Our working capital deficit at March 31, 2005 was $33,084,000, compared to a working capital deficit of $34,150,000 at December 31, 2004, a reduction of $1,066,000 in our working capital deficit. This improvement is the result of our improved operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. We used $194,000 of cash in our operations during the March 2005 quarter. During the first quarter, we commenced making payments to the holder of our senior debt, with payment of $150,000, all of which was applied to interest.

As of March 31, 2005, our debt includes $25,615,000 of senior debt which matures on July 1, 2005, $6,144,000 of subordinated debt that became due on July 3, 2001, and $385,000 of 6% debentures which became due on July 2, 2002. We were unable to pay the interest payment on the subordinated notes of approximately $4,360,000 that represents interest from July 2000 through March 2005, or the interest on the subordinated debentures of approximately $110,000. We have been notified by the trustee of 6% debentures that the non-payment of the principal and interest caused an event of default. At March 31, 2005, we did not have sufficient resources to pay either the senior lender or the subordinated lenders; it is unlikely that we can generate such cash from our operations, and our senior lender has precluded us from making any payments on the subordinated debt.

We have sought to address our need for liquidity by exploring alternatives, including the possible sale of one or more of our divisions. During 2003 and 2004, we were engaged in discussions with respect to the possible sale of our divisions; however, those negotiations were terminated without an agreement having been reached, and we may not be able to sell those divisions on acceptable, if any, terms. Furthermore, if we sell a division, we anticipate that a substantial portion, if not all, of the net proceeds will be paid to the holder of our senior debt, and we will not receive any significant amount of working capital from such a sale. We continue our efforts to reduce costs while we seek additional business from new and existing customers. The significant reduction in the operations of our OSS division will impair our ability to sell that division, and such reduction, and the dependence of our copper business on several significant customers, are major factors which may impair our ability to sell the copper division or our business as a whole. Further, if we sell one of our two divisions, we may be unable to operate the remaining division at a profit.
