NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Reptron Electronics, Inc. (“Reptron”) is an electronics manufacturing services company providing engineering services, electronics manufacturing services and display integration services. Reptron Manufacturing Services offers full electronics manufacturing services including complex circuit board assembly, complete supply chain services and manufacturing engineering services to OEMs in a wide variety of industries including medical, industrial/instrumentation, banking, telecommunications, and office products. Reptron Display and System Integration provides value-added display design engineering and system integration services to OEMs.

In accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 90-7 Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (“SOP 90-7”), the Company adopted “fresh start” accounting as of January 31, 2004 and the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 resulted in a new reporting entity. Under “fresh start” accounting, the reorganization value of the entity is allocated to the entity’s assets based on fair values, and liabilities are stated at the present value of amounts to be paid determined at appropriate current interest rates. The effective date is considered to be the close of business on January 31, 2004 for financial reporting purposes. The periods presented prior to February 1, 2004 have been designated “Predecessor Company” and the periods subsequent to January 31, 2004 have been designated “Reorganized Company.” As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting, the financial statements of the Company after the effective date are not comparable to the Company’s financial statements for prior periods.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The financial information included herein is unaudited and reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments for all periods presented, including fresh start accounting adjustments where applicable) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting as of January 31, 2004, the financial statements after that date are not comparable to the financial statements for prior periods. The other significant accounting policies of the Reorganized Company are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed in March 2004. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, included in the 2003 Form 10-K which was filed in March 2004.

NOTE B – PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

On February 3, 2004, Reptron implemented its previously announced financial restructuring when its pre-negotiated Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan” or “Plan of Reorganization”) became effective. Events occurring during 2003 and through February 3, 2004 related to the Chapter 11 proceedings are summarized below.

In January 2003, the Company announced that it was seeking to restructure $76.3 million principal amount of Reptron’s outstanding 6 ³/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Convertible Notes”). As part of this initiative, Reptron discontinued all interest payments on the Convertible Notes.

In February 2003, the Company commenced discussions with certain holders of the Convertible Notes (“Ad-hoc Committee”) to discuss the financial condition of the Company and the proposed restructuring. The Company engaged in extensive negotiations with the Ad-hoc Committee regarding the terms of the consensual restructuring of Reptron.

NOTE B – PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - Continued

On October 28, 2003, Reptron filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Under the terms of the Plan, substantially all of Reptron’s general unsecured creditors (except for holders of the Convertible Notes and certain other creditors) were to receive full payment for all prepetition claims within ninety days subsequent to the Plan’s effective date. The Plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on January 14, 2004 and became effective February 3, 2004, resulting in conversion of the $76.3 million of Convertible Notes, $6.4 million of accrued interest and $0.7 million of other liabilities into $30 million of Senior Secured Notes due in 2009 (“New Notes”) and the issuance of 95% of the common stock of the reorganized entity (“New Common Stock”). Previously outstanding common stock was also exchanged for 5% of the New Common Stock. The New Notes carry an interest rate of seven percent per annum during the first two years and eight percent per annum during the remaining three years.

In accordance with the Plan, in the first quarter of 2004 the Company, among other matters:

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 reflects $76.3 million principal amount of Convertible Notes along with $6.4 million of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, $0.6 million of real property lease liabilities, and $0.1 million of severance liabilities as “Liabilities subject to compromise.” These liabilities are reported at the amount allowed on pre-petition claims in the Chapter 11 proceedings.

Interest expense of approximately $1.3 million on the Convertible Notes was accrued in the first quarter of 2003 even though the Company discontinued interest payments on such debt. Interest expense for January 2004 excludes $0.4 million of stated contractual interest associated with the Convertible Notes.

The Company incurred $0.9 million of reorganization costs during the first quarter of 2004, which primarily includes professional fees of approximately $0.4 million, debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million, and contract settlement and other miscellaneous costs of approximately $0.3 million.

The Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on February 3, 2004 resulted in a new reporting entity and adoption of fresh start reporting, in accordance with Statement of Position No. 90-7 (SOP 90-7”), “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.” Although the effective date of the Plan was February 3, 2004, the Company has accounted for the consummation of the Plan as if it occurred at the close of business on January 31, 2004. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 does not give effect to any adjustments in the carrying value of assets or the amounts or classification of liabilities that were recorded upon adoption of fresh start accounting. As a result of the extinguishment of the liabilities subject to compromise, the Company recognized a reorganization gain on debt discharge amounting to $3.5 million, representing the excess of the carrying value of those liabilities compared to management’s estimate of the fair value of the New Common Stock and the New Notes. As provided for in the Company’s Plan of Reorganization, the holders of the liabilities subject to compromise would receive their ratable portion of the New Common Stock and New Notes in full satisfaction of those liabilities.

The following unaudited financial information reflects the implementation of the Plan as of the close of business on January 31, 2004. Reorganization adjustments have been made to reflect the discharge of debt and adoption of fresh start reporting in accordance with SOP 90-7. Accordingly, the reorganization value of the Company of $86 million, as disclosed in our Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement, limited to the aggregate carrying value of the pre-emergence assets, has been used to allocate the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company in conformity with Statement of Financial

NOTE B – PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - Continued

Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”), “Business Combinations.” The Company determined that independent third party appraisals of its long-term tangible and intangible assets was necessary in order to allocate the reorganization value of the Company to its various assets at January 31, 2004. Those valuation procedures are in their initial stages. The fresh-start adjustments included in the table which follows represent management’s preliminary estimate of adjustments necessary to record assets and liabilities at fair value. Any future adjustments are expected to primarily result in allocations among property and equipment, intangible assets and certain accounts receivable. Additionally, the Company is evaluating the effects the reorganization will have on its its income tax net operating losses, other deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and related valuation allowance. The amounts of net operating losses available to the company may be limited in total or be subject to annual limitations. These factors will be further considered during the completion of the allocation discussed above. The Company expects to substantially complete this allocation in the second quarter of 2004. However, additional allocations may occur following that date.

NOTE C – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Electronic Component Distribution

As a result of significant losses incurred by the Company’s Electronic Component Distribution (“ECD”) segment during 2001 and 2002, the Company decided to exit the component distribution business either through a sale of the business or by discontinuance of its operations in 2003. Management completed a sale of identified assets of this division on June 13, 2003. Accordingly, the results of this division have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Revenue for the ECD division was $22.4 million for the three months ending March 31, 2003. The ECD division’s loss before income taxes was $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2003. Included in the loss from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2003 is an impairment writedown of $3.3 million of goodwill, an $11.0 million writedown of inventory, and a $1.7 million impairment of fixed assets. The inventory writedown was determined with consideration given to the sale proceeds for the inventory included in the sale. The goodwill impairment was also recognized in response to the near term expectations established by the board of directors in March 2003 to either sell or otherwise discontinue these operations. As a result, the long-term turnaround previously estimated by management for this segment was no longer feasible and recovery of these assets was not expected in the near term. Also included in the pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 2003 is interest expense of $0.3 million that was allocated to the electronic component distribution business. The basis for this allocation considered interest expense which could reasonably have been expected to be avoided through the collection of the electronic components distribution division’s trade receivables, proceeds from the sales of assets held for sale, and subsequent payment on the working capital credit facility. Included in loss from discontinued operations in January 2004 is $0.2 million representing an increase in estimated workers compensation costs.

Computer Products Division

The Company exited the Computer Products (“CP”) business through a sale of identified assets of the division that was completed on October 27, 2003. Accordingly, the results of this division have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Revenue for the CP division was $10.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2003 and the loss from operations before income taxes was $0.2 million for the same period. Interest expense of $0.1 million is included in pre-tax operations during the first three months of 2003. The basis for this allocation considered interest expense that can reasonably be expected to be avoided through the proceeds from the sales of assets held for sale, and subsequent payment on the working capital credit facility. Included in loss from discontinued operations in January 2004 is $0.3 million representing the change in the estimate of the recoverability of certain assets.

NOTE D — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On January 31, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 clarifies existing accounting for whether variable interest entities should be consolidated in financial statements based upon the investees’ ability to finance its activities without additional financial support and whether investors possess characteristics of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 applies to years or interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003 with certain disclosure provisions required for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The Company currently does not have investments in any variable interest entities. In December 2003 the FASB issued FIN No. 46 (revised), which replaced FIN No. 46. FIN No. 46 (revised) is effective immediately for certain disclosure requirements and variable interest entities referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003 and for all other types of entities for financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The application of FIN 46(revised) in 2003 and in the first quarter of 2004 did not have a material effect on it’s the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE F — EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share (in thousands):

For the three month period ended March 31, 2003 and the one month ended January 31, 2004, all options have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect on earnings (loss) per share would be anti-dilutive.

The Convertible Notes were not included in the computation of earnings per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 and the one month ended January 31, 2004 periods because the conversion price of $28.50 exceeded the average market price of the common stock. Therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive. The Convertible Notes were not included in the computation of earnings per share for the two month period ended March 31, 2004 because the notes were cancelled effective January 31, 2004.

Prior to the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization of February 3, 2004, the Company provided for three stock option plans which were terminated in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization as of January 31, 2004. The Plan of Reorganization provides for the adoption of a new stock option plan whereby up to 10% of the Company’s New Common Stock may be issuable in connection with options granted under the new plan. As of March 31, 2004, no options had been granted under the new plan.

NOTE G – NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

The Company has a revolving credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation that provides up to $25 million (the “Credit Agreement”) to fund the Company’s operations through February, 2007. The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants including a minimum quarterly measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined by the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2004. The interest rate on the credit facility is based on the lender’s prime rate plus one percent. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. This credit facility, together with the Company’s available cash reserves and cash provided by operations, is expected to provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to pay for goods and services within standard terms. Under the advance rates contained in the Credit Agreement, there was approximately $5.9 million of unused available credit on March 31, 2004. The Credit Agreement requires customer receipts to be directed to a lockbox and applied directly to the revolving credit facility. Accordingly, the debt is classified as a current liability.

NOTE H – INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.8 million and an income tax benefit from discontinued operations of $0.2 million for the month ended January 31, 2004. Also, the deferred tax asset was reduced by a corresponding amount. The income tax provision resulted primarily from the reorganization gain on debt discharge that was partially offset by operating losses. During the two month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred losses before income taxes of $0.4 million. As a result, Reptron recognized a deferred tax asset and an offsetting valuation allowance of approximately $0.1 million, resulting in no income tax benefit. Realization of the tax loss carryforwards are contingent upon future taxable earnings in the appropriate jurisdiction. Each carryforward item is reviewed for expected utilization, using a “more likely than not” approach, based on the character of the carryforward item (credit, loss, etc.), the associated taxing jurisdiction (federal or state), the relevant history for the particular item, the applicable expiration dates, and identified actions under the Company’s control in realizing the associated carryforward benefits. The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence surrounding the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and applies judgment in estimating the amount of valuation allowance necessary under the circumstances. Management continues to assess and evaluate strategies that will enable the carryforward, or a greater portion thereof, to be utilized, and will reduce the valuation allowance appropriately for each item at such time when it is determined that the “more likely than not” criterion is satisfied. As noted above, the effect of the reorganization may reduce the amount of net operating losses and/or limit the amount that may be available to the company in a given period. Additionally, the carrying value of the deferred tax asset may be further adjusted during the fresh start allocation period as discussed above.

NOTE I – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company follows SFAS No. 123, which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans; however, the Company has elected to account for its employee stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 with pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined on the fair value at the grant dates for stock-based employee compensation arrangements consistent with the method required by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and net income per common share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands):

REORGANIZATION

On October 28, 2003, Reptron filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Under the terms of the Plan, substantially all of Reptron’s general unsecured creditors (except for holders of the Convertible Notes and certain other creditors) are to receive full payment for all pre-petition claims within ninety days subsequent to the Plan’s effective date. The Plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on January 14, 2004 and became effective February 3, 2004, resulting in conversion of the $76.3 million of Convertible Notes, $6.4 million of accrued interest and $0.7 million of other liabilities into $30 million of Senior Secured Notes due in 2009 (“New Notes”) and the issuance of 95% of the common stock of the reorganized entity (“New Common Stock”). Previously outstanding common stock is being exchanged for 5% of the New Common Stock. The New Notes carry an interest rate of seven percent per annum during the first two years and eight percent per annum during the remaining three years.

In accordance with the Plan, in the first quarter of 2004 the Company, among other matters:

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 reflects $76.3 million principal amount of Convertible Notes along with $6.4 million of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, $0.6 million of real property lease liabilities, and $0.2 million of severance liabilities as “Liabilities subject to compromise.” These liabilities are reported at the amount allowed on pre-petition claims in the Chapter 11 proceedings.

Interest expense of approximately $1.3 million on the Convertible Notes was accrued in the first quarter of 2003 even though the Company discontinued interest payments on such debt. Interest expense for January 2004 excludes $0.4 million of stated contractual interest associated with the Convertible Notes.

The Company incurred $0.9 million of reorganization costs during the first quarter of 2004, which primarily includes professional fees of approximately $0.4 million, debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million, and contract settlement and other miscellaneous costs of approximately $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

The Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on February 3, 2004 resulted in a new reporting entity and adoption of fresh start reporting, in accordance with Statement of Position No. 90-7 (SOP 90-7”), “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.” Although the effective date of the Plan was February 3, 2004, the Company accounted for the consummation of the Plan as if it occurred at the close of business on January 31, 2004. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 does not give effect to any adjustments in the carrying value of assets or the amounts or classification of liabilities that were recorded upon adoption of fresh start accounting.

The following unaudited financial information reflects the implementation of the Plan as of the close of business on January 31, 2004. Reorganization adjustments have been made to reflect the discharge of debt and adoption of fresh start reporting in accordance with SOP 90-7. Accordingly, the reorganization value of the Company of $86 million, as provided for in our Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement of $86 million, limited to the aggregate bookvalue of the pre-emergence assets, has been used to allocate the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”), “Business Combinations.” The Company determined that independent third party appraisals of its long-term tangible and intangible assets was necessary in order to allocate the reorganization value of the Company to its various assets at January 31, 2004.

These factors will be further considered during the completion of the allocation discussed above. The Company expects to substantially complete this allocation in the second quarter of 2004. However, additional allocations may occur following that date.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Electronic Component Distribution

As a result of significant losses incurred by the Company’s Electronic Component Distribution (“ECD”) segment during 2001 and 2002, the Company decided to exit the component distribution business either through a sale of the business or by discontinuance of its operations in 2003. Management completed a sale of identified assets of this division on June 13, 2003. Accordingly, the results of this division have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Revenue for the ECD division was $22.4 million for the three months ending March 31, 2003. The ECD division’s loss before income taxes was $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2003. Included in the loss from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2003 is an impairment writedown of $3.3 million of goodwill, an $11.0 million writedown of inventory, and a $1.7 million impairment of fixed assets. The inventory writedown was determined with consideration given to the sale proceeds for the inventory included in the sale. The goodwill impairment was also recognized in response to the near term expectations established by the board of directors in March 2003 to either sell or otherwise discontinue these operations. As a result, the long-term turnaround previously estimated by management for this segment was no longer feasible and recovery of these assets was not expected in the near term. Also included in the pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 2003 is interest expense of $0.3 million that was allocated to the electronic component distribution business. The basis for this allocation considered interest expense which could reasonably have been expected to be avoided through the collection of the electronic components distribution division’s trade receivables, proceeds from the sales of assets held for sale, and subsequent payment on the working capital credit facility. Included in loss from discontinued operations in January 2004 is $0.2 million representing an increase in estimated workers compensation costs.

Computer Products Division

The Company exited the Computer Products (“CP”) business through a sale of identified assets of the division that was completed on October 27, 2003. Accordingly, the results of this division have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Included in loss from discontinued operations in January 2004 is $0.3 million representing the change in the estimate of the recoverability of certain assets.

Revenue for the CP division was $10.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2003 and the loss from operations before income taxes was $0.2 million for the same period. Interest expense of $0.1 million is included in pre-tax operations during the first three months of 2003. The basis for this allocation considered interest expense that can reasonably be expected to be avoided through the proceeds from the sales of assets held for sale, and subsequent payment on the working capital credit facility.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As discussed above, the Company’s Plan of Reorganization became effective on February 3, 2004. As a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting as of January 31, 2004, the Company’s results of operations after that date are not comparable to results reported in prior periods because of differences in the bases of accounting and the capital structure for the Predecessor Company and the Reorganized Company. To facilitate comparisons to prior periods, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004, discussed below, includes the one month period ended January 31, 2004 for the Predecessor Company and the two months ended March 31, 2004 for the Reorganized Company.

Net Sales. Total first quarter net sales increased $1.1 million, or 3.0% from $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $35.6 million in the first quarter of 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to increased demand from previously established customers. We transacted business with approximately 40 to 50 customers in the first quarter of 2003 and 2004. The largest three customers represented approximately 14.4%, 11.0% and 8.9%, respectively, of first quarter 2004 net sales as compared to 14.3%, 11.6%, and 7.6%, respectively, of first quarter 2003 net sales.

Table of Contents

The table which follows summarizes sales by industry segment:

Gross Profit. Total 2004 first quarter gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 17.9%, from $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2004. The gross profit percentage was 9.9% in the first quarter of 2004 and 12.5% in the first quarter of 2003.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 17.3%, from $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2004. These expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 14.0% in the first quarter of 2003 to 11.3% in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily the result of reductions of these costs from prior periods as a result of our reorganization and the divesture of the distribution and computer products divisions.

Interest Expense. Net interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 68.7%, from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2004. This decrease is primarily the result of the discharge of $76.3 million of Convertible Notes and the issuance of $30.0 million of Senior Secured Notes in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization. Approximately $1.3 million of interest expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2003 related to the Convertible Notes as compared to $0.4 million of interest expense for the two months ended March 31, 2004 associated with the Senior Secured Notes. No interest expense was recorded for the one month ended January 31, 2004 related to the Convertible Notes. The remaining decrease in net interest expense is the result of a decrease in average outstanding debt, excluding the Convertible Notes and Senior Secured Notes, of $26.2 million from $37.5 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2004. In the first quarter of 2003, interest expense of $0.4 million was allocated to the discontinued operations of our electronic component distribution business and computer products division. The basis for this allocation was interest expense which could reasonably have been expected to be avoided through the collection of our distribution division’s trade receivables, proceeds from the sales of assets held for sale, and subsequent payment on our working capital credit facility.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.8 million and an income tax benefit from discontinued operations of $0.2 million for the month ended January 31, 2004. Also, the deferred tax asset was reduced by a corresponding amount. The income tax provision resulted primarily from the reorganization gain on debt discharge that was partially offset by operating losses. During the two month period ended March 31, 2004, we incurred losses before income taxes of $0.4 million. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax asset and an offsetting valuation allowance of $0.1 million, resulting in no income tax benefit. Realization of the tax loss carryforwards are contingent upon future taxable earnings in the appropriate jurisdiction. Each carryforward item is reviewed for expected utilization, using a “more likely than not” approach, based on the character of the carryforward item (credit, loss, etc.), the associated taxing jurisdiction (federal or state), the relevant history for the particular item, the applicable expiration dates, and identified actions under our control in realizing the associated carryforward benefits. We assess the available positive and negative evidence surrounding the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and apply judgement in estimating the amount of valuation allowance necessary under the circumstances. We continue to assess and evaluate strategies that will enable the carryforward, or a greater portion thereof, to be utilized, and will reduce the valuation allowance appropriately for each item at such time when it is determined that the “more likely than not” criterion is satisfied. As noted above, the effect of the reorganization may reduce the amount of net operating losses and/or limit the amount that may be available to the company in a given period. Additionally, the carrying value of the deferred tax asset may be further adjusted during the fresh start allocation period as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We primarily finance our operations through, bank credit lines, operating cash flows, and short-term financing through supplier credit lines. Net cash provided by or used in operating activities has historically been provided by net income (loss) levels combined with fluctuations in inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Operating activities from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2004 consumed cash of approximately $1.4 million. This use of cash resulted primarily from increases in accounts receivable of $1.6 million and decreases in accounts payable of $0.7 million offset by increases in accrued liabilities of $0.2 million and decreases in inventories of $0.4 million, prepaid expenses of $0.3 million, other assets of $0.7 million.

Capital expenditures totaled approximately $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2004. These capital expenditures were primarily for the acquisition of manufacturing equipment. These purchases were funded by the working capital credit facility, as defined below.

Credit Agreement. The Company has a revolving credit facility with Congress Financial Corporation that provides up to $25 million (the “Credit Agreement”) to fund the Company’s operations through February, 2007. The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants including a minimum quarterly measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined by the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2004. The Credit Agreement limits the amount of capital expenditures and prohibits the payment of dividends without the lender’s consent. The interest rate on the credit facility is based on the lender’s prime rate plus one percent. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Under the advance rates contained in the Credit Agreement, there was approximately $5.9 million of unused available credit on March 31, 2004. The Credit Agreement requires customer receipts to be directed to a lockbox and applied directly to the revolving credit facility. Accordingly, the debt is classified as a current liability.

Management believes that the credit facility, together with the Company’s available cash reserves and cash provided by operations, will be sufficient to meet our foreseeable capital requirements and working capital needs of our operations for at least the next twelve months. However, future liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors including the level of business in existing operations, credit lines extended by lenders and trade suppliers, the need for expansion of manufacturing operations in foreign countries (especially China) and capital expenditure requirements. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to management.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based upon the Company’s continuous evaluation of historical results and anticipated future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines critical accounting polices as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
