The accompanying condensed financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which are normal and recurring in nature and which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented.

In all regards, the financial statements have been presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The pro forma information does not purport to represent what our results of operations would actually have been if these transactions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Note 6. Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2000 consolidated condensed statement of cash flows to conform to the December 31, 2001 classifications. -5- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SALES. We experienced a sales increase of 25% in the first quarter of 2002 over the first quarter of 2001. Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2001 increased $4.2 million to $21.5 million compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Statistical Plastics Corporation ("SPC"), acquired on December 31, 2000, accounted for approximately $1.3 million of the sales increase for the first quarter of 2002. The acquisition of PCI Consulting & Leasing, Inc. ("PCI") on March 31, 2001 had no effect on sales. The continued increase in sales is primarily attributable to improved plant efficiency, increased customer demand and the addition of new customers. During the first quarter of 2002, our backlog of unfilled orders, believed to be firm, is down slightly from $19.9 million at September 30, 2001 to $17.5 million at December 31, 2001. We continue to work with Moldmakers, Incorporated and Prototype Mold & Design, two of our affiliated companies, to produce tooling as part of our total manufacturing solution. See "Moldmakers, Incorporated" in Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2001. Tooling sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 were $2.6 million, up from $1.8 million in tooling sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold increased 21% from the first quarter of 2001 to the first quarter of 2002. However, when expressed as a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 80% in 2001 to 78% in 2002. This decrease allowed us to recognize a gross profit of $4,779,000 for the first quarter of 2002 as compared to a gross profit of $3,441,000 for the first quarter of 2001. That represents an increase in gross profit from 20% to 22%, as expressed as a percentage of sales. Materials as a percentage of molding sales remained constant at 41% for the first quarter of 2000 and 2001. Product mix, assembly operations and value-added services drive material costs. Direct labor costs decreased as we strived to automate operations and become more efficient in manual operations. Comparing labor costs for the first quarter of 2001 to 2002 shows a decrease in labor as a percent of sales from 13% to 10%. Fixed overhead decreased from quarter to quarter with the first quarter of 2002 equaling 12% of sales and the first quarter of 2001 equaling 14% of sales. -6- SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2002 were $2,400,000 compared to $1,519,000 for the first quarter of 2001. This increase is due to the addition of sales and management personnel in an effort to increase our customer base and meet the growing needs of current manufacturing operations. On October 1, 2001 we entered into a contract with Moldmakers Leasing & Investments Limited Partnership, LLP ("Moldmakers Leasing"), an affiliate of Moldmakers, Incorporated, to provide financial management services. The contract will remain in effect until terminated by either party upon 30 days notice. The contract calls for payments of $50,000 a month throughout the term of the contract. During the first quarter we incurred $150,000 in expenses relating to this contract. Selling and administrative expenses increased from 9% of sales to 11% of sales over comparable quarters. Without the selling and administrative expenses of PCI, selling and administrative expenses would have been 9% of sales. INTEREST EXPENSE. For the first quarter of 2002 interest expense totaled $262,000 compared with $145,000 for the first quarter of 2001. Interest expense arises from borrowings on our line of credit and capital leases for equipment financing. Use of our line of credit has and will continue to increase with increased sales levels and the directly related increases in accounts receivable and inventory. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense was $680,000 for the first quarter of 2002 and $720,000 for the first quarter 2001. These amounts are calculated as a percentage of pre-tax income, and reflect, accordingly, the pre-tax loss or pre-tax income at the end of the above stated periods. NET INCOME. Net income for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001 equaled $1,175,000 and $1,057,000, respectively. We were able to maintain profitability due to continued sales increases and the corresponding utilization of labor and equipment. During the first quarter of 2002 SPC and PCI accounted for $221,000 and $65,000, respectively, of the net income figures or 18.8% and 5.5%, respectively, of the total. Our net income for the first quarter of 2002 also reflects a loss of $261,564 attributable to our 50% interest in a joint venture, Mikron TecStar, LP, in San Antonio, Texas ("MTLP"). MTLP operations commenced in the first quarter of 2002. For the three months ended December 31, 2001, MTLP had net sales of $108,296, an operating loss of $487,353, and a net loss of $526,296. The net loss is a result of costs associated with start-up costs, primarily acquisition of capabilities to accommodate targeted customers and products. Because of its location and the -7- abilities of the other investor, MTLP has identified the medical, telecommunications and automotive as its key markets. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We are continuing to finance our operations with a combination of a bank line of credit facility and leases. In order to meet our growing needs we received increases in our line of credit from Marshall & Ilsley Bank, Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the first quarter of 2002. Our line of credit increased from $7.5 million at September 30, 2001 to $10 million in December, 2001. Additionally, we received a $5.0 million line of lease financing from M&I for equipment purchases. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1,851,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001; cash used by operating activities totaled $1,452,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2002 is due primarily to net income of $1.2 million. Cash used in operating activities during the first three months of 2001 resulted primarily from the necessity of funding inventory and accounts receivable growth in excess of our accounts payable growth. Investing activities used cash of $2,044,000 for the first three months of 2002, while net cash used in investing activities totaled $162,000 for the first three months of 2001. Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2002 resulted primarily from the acquisition of manufacturing equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2001 resulted from amortization of deposits on leases and return of several assets in progress. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $486,000 for the first three months of 2002 compared to $1,392,000 for the first three months of 2001. Cash provided by financing activities for both quarters resulted primarily from draws on our bank line of credit net of payments on long- term debt in 2002. We believe that current cash balances, cash flows from current operations, and available term debt and lease financing will be sufficient to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements for 2002 year. Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual funding requirements may differ materially from our forecasts as a result of a number of factors including our plans to -8- expand our operations and the expansion of our value added and assembly operations as part of our total manufacturing solution. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available on satisfactory terms when needed, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional necessary capital in the future, we may be required to scale down our expansion plans significantly.
