PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business

Ault Incorporated (herein “Ault” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 1961. The Company designs, manufactures, and markets power conversion products and is a leading domestic supplier of such products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of data communications equipment, telecommunications equipment, portable medical devices and equipment as well as scanning and printing equipment and industrial equipment.

On July 16, 2002, the Company purchased a portion of the operating assets of the Power General division of Nidec America Corporation. The Power General division developed, manufactured, and sold high-efficiency DC/DC converters and custom power supplies at various power levels up to 1200 watts under the Power General brand name. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid the Seller $366,000 in cash and issued $2,074,000 face amount of the Company’s newly created Series B 7% Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “Preferred Stock”). Further information regarding this acquisition is contained in Note 15 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 8 herein. Since the acquisition of the Power General division significant time and resources have been expended integrating the Massachusetts engineering group and internal power supply line into Ault’s existing processes and team structure. As planned, production of Power General’s open-frame AC-DC power supplies and the DC/DC converters was transferred from Massachusetts to Ault’s existing facilities in Asia. In addition, through training provided to Ault’s field sales organization worldwide, Ault’s customers and prospects are familiar with the additional products and design engineering capabilities provided by this acquisition.

On July 17, 2003, the Company announced the consolidation of its manufacturing operations. The consolidation includes the closing of its Minneapolis production operations, eliminating approximately 40 jobs in assembly, equipment maintenance, procurement and administrative support and the integration of production into Ault’s other manufacturing plants. Ault’s engineering, documentation, safety certification/reliability, sales, marketing and administrative services will remain at the Minneapolis headquarters facility. The consolidation was implemented to reduce expenses, improve cash flow and return the Company to profitability. The savings have been approximately $1.3 million on an annual basis.

On May 20, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Korea Corporation (“Ault Korea”), to JEC Korea Co., Ltd. for $3.7 million. The agreement includes the receipt of $1,472,000 in cash and a secured note in the amount of $2,250,000. The sale includes all assets and liabilities of Ault Korea Corporation and the use of the “Ault Korea” name in Korea for a period of three years. Ault Korea includes the property in Seoul, South Korea and approximately 110 employees. As part of the terms of the agreement, JEC has the rights to sell power conversion products in Korea while Ault will have rights to sell the same power conversion products throughout the rest of the world. Prior to this transaction, JEC was a supplier of Ault, but otherwise no material relationship existed between Ault and JEC, or their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their directors and officers. The transaction resulted in a loss of approximately $2,442,000, principally the result of the Company forgiving an intercompany note in the amount of approximately $2.3 million.

On May 27, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Minneapolis headquarter building (64,000 square feet) and land to Dane Industries Inc. for $3.85 million. The gross proceeds of $3.85 million was used to pay off the mortgage balance of $2,509,000 and $255,000 of transaction expenses, which included the realtors’ commissions, leaving net cash proceeds of $1,086,000 for the Company. The transaction resulted in a loss of approximately $137,000. Prior to this transaction, no material relationship existed between Ault and Dane, or their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their directors and officers. Related to this sales transaction, Ault entered into an agreement to lease a portion (13,313 square feet) of its headquarter building for a period of twenty-seven months with a monthly rent payment of $18,860.

During June 2005, the Company became aware of accounting errors in its China operations that affected fiscal year 2004 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2005. As a result of these errors, the loss applicable to common stockholders was underreported by $593,000 in fiscal year 2004 and underreported by $425,000 in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2005.

The sale of the Korean subsidiary has required the Company to adjust the financial statements to treat the Korean subsidiary as discontinued operations.

The Company maintains a website at www.aultinc.com. The annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and periodic reports on Form 8-K (and any amendments to these reports) are available free of charge on the website as soon as reasonably practical after the reports are filed with the SEC. To obtain copies of these reports, go to www. http://www.aultinc.com.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

The Company operates in only one industry segment - the manufacture and sale of power conversion devices.

Ault’s power conversion products are used to adapt alternating current (AC) to provide a source of power at various levels up to more than one kilowatt of continuous power for a wide variety of electronic equipment. A significant amount of the Company’s products are located outside the equipment they power as a wall plug-in or as in-line components. Both of these styles are generally referred to as external power conversion products. A smaller percentage of the Company’s products are located inside the equipment they power and are generally known as internal power conversion devices. Each product configuration, external and internal, offers distinct advantages to the OEM buyer. Internal power products are more generally accepted among design engineers across all segments of the electronic original equipment market (EOEM). Internal power has traditionally been the norm in product design and, in terms of range, it provides greater latitude especially in applications beyond 100 watts. External power still ranks as a high growth area in the power supply industry due to the increasing emphasis on smaller and portable products that perform increasingly sophisticated functions. Ault’s business strategy is to offer OEMs in these markets an expanding line of high-quality power conversion products, diverse design engineering expertise and customized customer services.

(1) Products

Ault’s product line includes internal AC/DC and DC/DC switching power supplies, DC/DC converters, DC mobile adapters and four major categories of external power conversion products: switching power supplies, linear power supplies, transformers and battery chargers. The Company’s broad range of power conversion products --- ranging from 1 watt to more than 1 kilowatt --- are capable of providing power at most output levels that OEMs require.

The Company’s design and application engineers work closely with customers to ensure that these products are customized to meet each OEM customer’s unique power conversion needs.

The following table summarizes the proportion of sales of each of the Company’s five major product categories for its last three fiscal years ended May 29, 2005:

Sale of Products by Category

as a Percentage of Total Sales

	Years Ended
Product Type	May 29, 2005		May 30, 2004		June 1, 2003

Switching Power Supplies	69	%	59	%	54	%
Linear Power Supplies	16		25		30
Transformers	3		5		6
Battery Chargers	7		7		7
DC/DC Converters	5		4		3
Total	100	%	100	%	100	%

Power Supplies. The Company’s traditional power supplies provide all power conversion elements for electronic equipment in power outputs ranging from 1 to 1200 watts. The majority of the Company’s products contain a component level transformer, which reduces the voltage level, as well as other circuitry and components, which convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and, in most cases, maintain voltage within specific limits.

• Internal and External Switching Power Supplies. The Company believes the market for switching power supplies in the 1-500 watt range is generally the fastest growing segment of the overall power supply industry. For internals, switching power supplies are efficient and easily modified to meet an OEM’s specific footprint and power requirements. In externals, switching power supplies use switching transistors to convert power from AC to DC and are more energy efficient, smaller and lighter in weight than linear units with comparable power outputs. The applications in which these internal and external products are currently used include telecommunications (wireless, wire line, cellular), data communications (networking, broadband modem, Power over Ethernet, routers, hubs, switches), computer and related peripherals, medical equipment, microprocessor controlled systems, printing and scanning equipment, security systems, automatic teller terminals, test equipment, multiplexers, digital cameras and point of sale equipment.

Most of the Company’s internal and external switching power supplies incorporate a universal input ranging from 90 to 265 volts AC. This universal input means that the power supplies can be used in virtually any country for applications such as local area networks (LANs), printers and fiber optic links. The Company has also designed medical grade switching power supplies with similar universal input ranges.

• Linear Power Supplies. Linear power supplies are larger and generally less expensive than switching power supplies because their design is based on technology employing steel laminations with windings of copper wire rather than switching transistors. Linear power supplies tend to be used when the wattage output required is relatively low. Ault manufactures linear power supplies that provide up to 12 watts of regulated power and 25 watts of unregulated power. The Company’s linear power supplies are used in a variety of applications including modems, telecommunications products, local area networks, microprocessor controlled systems, test equipment and multiplexers.

• Transformers. The Company manufactures a wide variety of wall plug-in transformers as part of its full range of power conversion products. Transformers are used primarily in applications where OEMs desire to remove heat, electromagnetic interference and weight from electronic equipment, while incorporating the rest of the power conversion system within the product. These products reduce AC voltage from approximately 110 volts (230 volts in some countries) down to lower voltages that range from 5 to 60 volts AC. The Company’s product line also includes highly customized transformers that operate within stringent power output tolerances, features that are not offered by most of the Company’s competitors. The Company’s transformers are utilized in a broad spectrum of applications including modems, telephone sets, multimedia products and scanners.

• Battery Chargers. Ault has been an innovator in battery charging technology since the early 1980s. Ault specializes in providing custom designed, advanced solutions for manufacturers of portable and battery powered equipment. Applications for the Company’s battery chargers include medical devices, mobile telecom devices, notebook computers, global positioning equipment and radio frequency communications products.

The Company’s products serve the entire range of widely used battery chemistries such as nickel cadmium, sealed lead acid, gel cell and nickel-metal hydride. In addition, the Company has developed battery chargers for the particular requirements of newer battery chemistries such as zinc air, lithium ion and lithium polymer. The Company is committed to supporting these new emerging chemistries and to developing battery charger products to be introduced as these new battery chemistries become commercially accepted.

The Company sells primarily “smart” battery chargers as distinguished from trickle chargers. Smart charger products use integrated circuits to control various charging characteristics while allowing for fast charge time and extended battery life. Trickle charging is typically used for slow (8 to 10 hours) charging and/or standby battery maintenance.

The Company believes that the demand for high-quality battery chargers will continue to increase to accommodate the growing sophistication of portable electronic equipment.

• High-Efficiency and High-Density DC/DC Converters. The addition of DC/DC converters to the Company’s product offering was in response to customer requests for “on-the-board” power solutions and Ault’s strategy to fulfill the “total solution” approach as a preferred supplier to valued OEM customers. In fiscal 2003, as part of the Power General product offering, Ault acquired a line of DC/DC converters and seasoned engineers who have developed new, innovative high-density quarter-brick and eighth-brick designs. These products provide Ault with a wide range of converter options to meet the needs of OEMs using distributed power architecture in their next generation and new electronic product designs. In fiscal 2002, Ault signed a private label agreement with a third party manufacturer for distribution of high-efficiency DC/DC converters. The agreement was in-place for fiscal 2002, 2003 and part of fiscal 2004. Since the agreement was subject to an annual review by each party, Ault decided to terminate the agreement during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 due to a lack of sales activity.

• Mobile Products. In late 2002, the Company expanded its product offering to include a line of mobile products for powering laptop computers in a broad range of field and service applications. The product focus is on mobile adapters in a single and dual output with a primary sales focus on laptop OEMs and value-added resellers (VARs). The Company anticipates nearly 65% of the market to be field and service applications in the business travel, insurance, trucking and delivery industries. The remainder of the applications is in emergency fire, police and medical services (20%); military and government (10%); and a small percentage in miscellaneous uses (5%). The product family, known as Transport, was introduced in fiscal 2003. The TR75 (75watts) is a single output mobile adapter that has generated approximately $380,000 in revenue. The next models in the product family are the TR100 (up to 100 watts) and the TR120 (up to 120 watts) in a same footprint as the TR75. These products will power the next generation of laptop computers that require 90, 100 or 120 watts.

(2) Markets and Customers

The Company’s marketing efforts are directed primarily toward OEMs producing non-consumer electronic equipment for broadband modems, wireless and wire line telecommunications product, networking, Power over Ethernet, as well as industrial and retail data acquisition. These markets are characterized by trends toward smaller, portable products capable of performing increasingly sophisticated functions, as well as intense competitive pressure to rapidly introduce new products and product enhancements. Based on its expertise to tailor a broad range of products to meet customer requirements, the Company believes it is well positioned to serve the needs of its OEM customers as they respond to these trends and competitive factors.

Historically, the most significant market for the Company’s products has been OEMs of telecommunications/data communications equipment (broadband modems, wireless and wire line); in fiscal 2005 sales in this market represented approximately 39% of net sales. The Company’s products power cable and ADSL modems, network termination equipment (devices which interface between telephone network and the customer’s PBX or other

telephone system), line conditioning equipment (devices which prepare telephone lines for the transmission of computer generated data), Wi-Fi and Power over Ethernet applications and various items of equipment ancillary to business telephones, including speaker phones, automatic dialers, caller identification units and alpha numeric displays, low to medium speed PC modems and multiplexers (equipment which enables the simultaneous transmission of multiple channels of information over the same telephone line).

In fiscal 2004, the telecommunications industry overall began to rebound as OEMs began launching new projects/designs and had the need to replenish existing product inventory that had been slow-moving over the past two years. A couple of telecommunication segments have been particularly strong: wireless and networking. There are new applications such as broadband wireless routers and wireless Ethernet devices that require cost-effective switching power supplies in the 12-32 watt range. The Company introduced a family of single-port Power-over-Ethernet power supplies that combine power through integrated RJ45 jacks as well as data over a single CAT 5 Ethernet cable. Two versions of the product are available: one that is 100% compliant to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3af standard that addresses Power over Ethernet requirements. A second version in the PW130 family is available to power OEM devices that are not compliant to the standard. Both versions can be sold as a standard product or be modified to suit specific requirements.

Approximately 33% of net sales in fiscal 2005 were to OEMs of portable medical equipment such as infusion pumps, patient monitoring systems, apnea monitors, and portable terminals for patient history input diagnostics.

In fiscal 2005 approximately 17% of the Company’s net sales were to OEMs in the industrial market segment that includes digital cameras, load survey equipment, industrial lighting, outdoor and specialty lighting as well as power tools, metal detectors and GPS equipment. The remaining 11% of the Company’s net sales were to OEMs of computers and computer peripherals such as digitizers, printers, plotters, portable terminals, point of sale scanners and optical character readers, LAN hardware and multimedia speakers for computer applications.

The Company has worked diligently to support the growth of sales through our network of regional, national and international distributors. In fiscal 2005, approximately 36% of the Company’s net sales were to our distributors and their broad base of customers. While the specific percentages per market segment are not available, the Company’s distributors target the same market segments as those outlined above. (I.e. the data communications/telecommunications segment ranks at the top of their market mix as well).

(3) Design Engineering and Product Development

Design engineering teams at the Company’s facilities in the United States and the People’s Republic of China are responsible for developing new power conversion products and customizing existing products to meet customer needs. The Company also utilizes the significant engineering resources of its Asian subcontractors for the development of products targeted for subcontract manufacturing. The Company’s product development activities are divided equally between developing products to satisfy customer needs and new products based upon anticipated customer needs and market trends. New product development opportunities are evaluated based upon criteria such as global market potential, return on investment and technological advantages. The Company believes that its collaborative efforts with customers, combined with its forward-looking concern for power technology and market trends, have enabled it to gain a reputation as a leading innovator in the development of new power conversion products.

(4) Sales and Distribution

The Company markets its products primarily in the U.S. and Canada through a network of 17 manufacturer representatives employing approximately 120 salespersons, each of whom represents, in addition to Ault’s products, several different but complementary product lines of other manufacturers. The Company also sells through four national distributor organizations, which employ over 1,000 salespersons, and 13 regional distributors, which employ over 75 salespersons. The Company selects representatives based upon their industry knowledge as well as account expertise with products that are synergistic with the Company’s products. Individual salespersons are trained, mentored and technically assisted by the Company’s application engineers and other sales administration staff. Any reduction in the efforts of these manufacturer representatives or distributors could adversely affect the Company’s business and operating results.

The Company begins the sales process by identifying a potential customer or market; researching the target or potential customer’s total business, product and strategic needs; and then preparing a total solution proposal that includes engineering, product development, safety agency approvals, logistics and project development processes, coordinating pilot runs and assisting OEMs with their product introductions.

The Company focuses its selling efforts primarily on OEMs in the U.S. and Canada. However, many of the larger OEM customers of the Company manufacture and sell their products globally. As a result, the Company has extended its presence to markets throughout the world. The Company’s sales in the Pacific Rim are primarily to customers in China.

The Company markets its products in Europe through a network of distributors who are managed through the Company’s customer team located in Minnesota and in Maryland. In the Pacific Rim, the Company markets its products through direct sales teams located in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China.

(5) Safety Agency Certification

The power conversion system is potentially the most hazardous element in most electronic equipment because the power supply modifies standard power to a level appropriate for such equipment. Virtually all of the Company’s customers require that the power conversion products supplied by the Company meet or exceed established international safety and quality standards, since many of the Company’s products are used in conjunction with equipment that is distributed throughout the world. In response to these customer requirements, the vast majority of the Company’s products are designed and manufactured in accordance with certification requirements of many safety agencies, including Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated (UL) in the United States; the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada; Technischer Uberwachungs-Verein (TUV) in Germany; the British Approval Board for Telecommunication (BABT) in the United Kingdom; the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC), a European standards organization and (CE) a standard for the European Community. In addition, some of the Company’s products have also received Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) approval. For certain safety applications, the Company’s products conform to FCC Class B requirements, which regulate the levels of electronic magnetic interference that may be emitted by electronic equipment. Unlike most of its competitors, the Company is a certified test laboratory for UL, CSA and TUV and is able to conduct most certification tests at its Minneapolis headquarters. This procedure reduces the time required to obtain safety certifications.

(6) Competition

The Company competes primarily with various manufacturers of external power conversion products. The industry is highly fragmented, with manufacturers generally focusing their marketing on specific segments. The Company has experienced strong competition from Taiwanese-based manufacturers principally on price. Many of these competitors have a smaller presence in the external conversion market than the Company, although several are engaged in more than one business and have significantly greater financial resources.

No single company dominates the overall external power conversion product market, and the Company’s competitors vary depending upon the particular power conversion product category. The companies with which Ault competes most directly in each of its major product categories are: Leader Electronics, Inc. and Golden Pacific Electronics, Inc. for transformers; Dee Van Enterprise Co., Ltd., Friwo, and EMC, Inc. for linear power supplies; GlobTek, Inc., Condor and Phihong Enterprise Co., Ltd. for switching power supplies; and Friwo, Phihong and Anam for battery chargers.

The Company competes on the basis of the quality and performance of its products, the breadth of its product line, customer service, and dependability in meeting delivery schedules, design engineering services, and price. The Company believes it is currently one of a small number of companies that design, manufacture and obtain certifying agency approvals for the full range of internal and external power conversion devices, which OEMs consider in designing their electronic product.

The Company provides a total solution approach to the OEM’s entire power conversion product needs (under 1 kilowatt) through its commitment to reliable partnerships and its delivery of high quality products supported by solution-oriented design engineering. The manufacturing facility in China, and arrangements with subcontract

manufacturers in China and Thailand enable the Company to compete effectively when price is the primary consideration.

Internal power conversion products continue to be used for most electronic equipment, and as a result the Company experiences competition from numerous OEMs and independent suppliers offering internal products. With the trend toward lower power requirements in portable electronic equipment and with the increasing availability of smaller, competitively priced internal switching power supplies, certain customers of the Company may choose to return to internal power supplies in place of the external power conversion products they currently purchase. In response to this issue, the Company is now well positioned to service the power requirements of its customers, whether internal or external, as a result of the Power General acquisition. This acquisition not only provided the engineering expertise to design internal power supplies, but also has expanded the Company’s product offering significantly to include a line of AC/DC and DC/DC switching power supplies and DC/DC converters. The Company competes with a number of manufacturers of internal AC/DC power supplies, including Astec, Power-One, GlobTek, Condor and Delta Electronics.

The Company competes with a broad range of manufacturers in the DC/DC converter market. The industry is fragmented, with manufacturers concentrating their sales and marketing on specific customer requirements in specific markets. The Company’s primary competitors are Synqor, Power-One, Ericsson, Artesyn, and Galaxy. In the past 12 months, all of the key players in the DC/DC market have introduced models in the isolated, high-efficiency eighth-brick and quarter-brick models. The largest single market segment for the sale of these high-efficiency models is telecommunications. To date, no single competitor dominates the DC/DC market in terms of market share.

The estimated size of the mobile products market in North America is $55-$65 million. The major competitors, Targus, Lind and Mobility, specialize in this market segment. These three companies dominate the market with combined revenues of approximately $47 million. The rest of the market includes smaller companies with limited sales to a handful of key customers.

(7) Manufacturing and Sources of Supply

The Company’s manufacturing operations consist of assembly and integration of electronic components to meet product specifications and design requirements for a variety of power conversion applications. Manufacturing of the Company’s products is located at the Company’s facilities in Xianghe, China, and at subcontract manufacturers in four facilities in China and Thailand.

As discussed above, the Company discontinued its Minneapolis manufacturing operations beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, moving this production to its other manufacturing plants, primarily China. The consolidation included the closing of its Minneapolis production operations, with the headquarters location continuing to provide engineering, safety certification, reliability testing, sales, marketing and administrative services for its global customers. Ault’s headquarters will continue to provide prototypes and engineering builds as part of its engineering support services.

Electronic components and raw materials used in the Company’s products are generally available from a large number of suppliers, although from time to time shortages of particular items are experienced.

Quality and reliability are emphasized in both the design and manufacture of the Company’s products. This emphasis is reflected in the ISO 9001 certification of the Company’s Minneapolis facility in 1991 and its China facility in 1998. The Company tests 100% of its finished products against its own and the customers’ specifications, and then ships the products in custom-engineered protective packaging to minimize any damage during shipment.

The Company has subcontract manufacturing arrangements with two business partners in Thailand and two in China. The Company does not have long-term commitments with its subcontractors and the subcontractors build product for the Company pursuant to individual purchase orders. Either party may terminate the arrangements at any time. The product that is manufactured by the subcontractors is not specific to that subcontractor. The product could be produced by one of the other subcontractors or a company owned facility. Currently the subcontractors account for less than 15% of the current year’s revenue. The Company selects its subcontract manufacturers based upon their ability to manufacture high-quality products, the sufficiency of their engineering capabilities to support products being manufactured; and their ability to meet required delivery times.

(8) Significant Customers: Backlog

The Company sells its products to over 400 customers, and it is the Company’s objective to maintain a diversified customer base to avoid, where practicable, dependence upon a single customer. In fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, no customers accounted for more than 10% of sales.

The Company’s order backlog at May 29, 2005 totaled $9,678,000 compared to $10,027,000 at May 30, 2004. The order backlog represents sales for approximately 14 weeks.

The Company enters into buying commitments and other scheduling agreements with certain customers. For its larger customers, these agreements allow for order increases and decreases within scheduled limits and include cancellation charges for completed and in-process products and procured materials. Most products are shipped within 4 to 10 weeks of an order.

(9) Warranties

The Company provides up to a three-year parts and labor warranty against defects in materials or workmanship on all of its products. Servicing and repairs are conducted at the Company’s facilities in Minneapolis. The Company’s warranty expenses have not been significant.

(10) Patents

The Company holds no significant patents.

(11) Seasonality

In the past three years, sales of the Company have not reflected seasonality.

(12) Employees

As of August 11, 2005, the Company employed approximately 577 full-time employees. Listed below is a breakdown by geographic area:

	China	US	Total

Manufacturing	400	5	405
Engineering	48	31	79
Marketing	8	17	25
General and Administrative	58	10	68

Total	514	63	577

None of the Company’s employees are represented by a labor organization, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage or interruption due to a labor dispute. Management believes that its relations with its employees are good.

(13) Executive Officers of the Registrant

(14) Working Capital

With almost all of the Company’s products manufactured in China, Korea and Thailand, and shipped to customers around the world, principally over the ocean by boat, it can take four to seven weeks for product shipments to reach customers. Generally, the Company invoices customers shortly after the product has been shipped from the Asian manufacturing location. The long shipping schedule results in delays in customer payments of invoices and increases the amount of account receivables that are ineligible as part of the borrowing base on the credit line facility with the bank.

(15) Risk Factors

The following risk factors are relevant to an understanding of the Company’s business:

• The Company recently received a delisting notice from Nasdaq and there can be no assurance that the Company’s securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq. On September 15, 2005, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that because the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2005 has not been filed, the Company is subject to delisting. On September 27, 2005 Nasdaq advised the Company that because its stockholders’ equity dropped below the $10 million threshold, another grounds for delisting exists. The Company has appealed the delisting notice and believes that it will be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, but continued listing is subject to a hearing before a Nasdaq Qualifications Panel, and there can be no assurance that the Panel will permit the Company’s securities to continue to be listed.

• The Company has experienced material weaknesses in its internal controls. The Company has recently experienced material weaknesses in its internal controls related to its Ault China subsidiaries, and related to its warehouse arrangements with third parties. These weaknesses in controls resulted in certain adjustments to the Company’s financial statements. The Company has undertaken a remediation program to address these weaknesses, but there can be no assurance that the Company may not suffer additional material weaknesses and adjustments or restatements to its financial statements.

• The electronic equipment market is characterized by rapidly changing technology and shorter product life cycles. The Company’s future success will continue to depend upon its ability to enhance its current products and to develop new products that keep pace with technological developments and respond to changes in customer requirements. Any failure by the Company to respond adequately to technological changes and customer requirements or any significant delay in new product introductions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that new products to be developed by the Company will achieve market acceptance. See “Business-Design Engineering and Product Development.”

• The Company’s financial results are influenced by a number of factors. The Company’s financial results are subject to fluctuation due to various factors, including general business cycles in the Company’s markets, the mix of products sold, the stage of each product in its life cycle and the rate and cost of development of new products. In addition, component and material costs, the timing of orders from and shipments of products to customers and deferral or cancellation of orders from major customers could adversely affect financial results.

• The Company’s reliance on outside contractors reduces its control over quality and delivery schedules. The Company currently depends on third parties located in foreign countries for a significant portion of the manufacture and assembly of certain of its products. While the Company takes an active role in overseeing quality control with its third-party manufacturers, the failure by one or more of these subcontractors to deliver quality products or to deliver products in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company’s third-party manufacturing arrangements are short term in nature and could be terminated with little or no notice. If this happened, the Company would be compelled to seek alternative sources to manufacture certain of its products. There can be no assurance that any such attempts by the Company would result in suitable arrangements with new third-party manufacturers. See “Manufacturing and Sources of Supply.”

• The Company’s success depends in part upon the continued services of many of its highly skilled personnel involved in management, engineering and sales, and upon its ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified employees. The loss of service of any of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not have key-person life insurance on any of its employees. In addition, the Company’s future success will depend on the ability of its officers and key employees to successfully manage the Company for growth and profitability and to attract, retain, motivate and effectively utilize the team approach to manage its employees.

• While the Company actively trains and technically assists the individual sales representatives representing its products, a reduction in the sales efforts by the current manufacturer representatives and distributors or termination of their relationships with Ault could adversely affect the sales and operations. The Company markets and sells products primarily through independent manufacturer representatives and distributors that are not under its direct control. The Company employs a limited number of internal sales personnel.

• To satisfy customer demand and to obtain greater purchasing discounts, the Company carries increased inventory levels of certain items. The Company’s financial results may be adversely affected when inventory exceeds anticipated demand. Carrying additional inventory levels also increases the risk of loss due to obsolescence. Gross margin can be adversely affected by increases in costs of raw materials. There can be no assurance that raw material cost increases or the cost of carrying increased finished goods inventory will not have a material adverse effect on the financial results.

• A prolonged reduction in demand for the Company’s products will continue to impact the financial success. In fiscal year 2002, sales declined in large part due to a substantial downturn in sales to the telecommunications and data communications markets. Sales to these markets stabilized in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004 with modest growth in fiscal 2005. A decline of the telecommunications and data communications markets would adversely affect the Company’s results.

• The financing agreements contain covenants with which the Company may not be able to comply. The Company has entered into a financing agreement that contains financial covenants. These covenants require, that the Company, among other things, maintain a minimum working capital base, and also impose certain limitations on additional capital expenditures and the payment of dividends. The Company believes the covenants are achievable based on the expected operating results. Its ability to comply with financial covenants depends upon future operating performance. And, future-operating performance depends, in part, on general industry conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control. If the Company were unable to obtain a waiver or amendment from the lender on its credit facility on reasonable terms, the credit facility could be accelerated and the entire balance could be due. The default interest rate would rise to prime plus 5%. Availability under the facility is based on the Company’s accounts receivables. Historically, the balance has fluctuated between $2.3 and $2.6 million. If the balance were accelerated and the interest rate rose to the default rate, the Company would be required to secure an alternative credit facility or capital. There can be no assurance that a replacement for the revolving credit facility could be obtained at all, or on terms favorable to the Company. A failure to obtain a replacement facility would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

• Civil unrest, labor disruptions, or acts of aggression could impede the Company’s ability to operate in foreign locations and would have a material adverse effect on future business and consequently, the operating results. Manufacturing is conducted at the Company’s facilities in China and through manufacturing relationships in the People’s Republic of China (China), Korea and Thailand. While this Pacific Rim manufacturing strategy enables the Company to compete worldwide against other suppliers of external power conversion products, it also involves risks. While, its manufacturing operations in China, Korea and Thailand have not been affected by labor disruptions, civil unrest or political instability, the risk of civil unrest and political instability is present in each of these countries.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2005, amends and restates financial statements and related financial information for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2004 and May 29, 2005. The determination to restate these financial statements and other financial information was made as a result of the Company’s identification of accounting errors at the Company’s China subsidiary related to unrecorded liabilities. Further information on the restatement can be found in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgments and uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Application of these policies is particularly important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe the accounting policies described below meet these characteristics. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue for product sales when title transfers and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon acceptance of the product by the overseas freight carrier. The Company’s policies comply with the guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is not recognized until the Company has determined that the risk of uncollectibility is minimal.

Inventory Valuation – Inventory is written down for estimated surplus and discontinued inventory items. The amount of the write-down is determined by analyzing historical and projected sales information, plans for discontinued products and other factors. Changes in sales volumes due to unexpected economic or competitive conditions are among the factors that would result in materially different amounts for this item.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – An allowance is established for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The required allowance is determined by reviewing customer accounts and making estimates of amounts that may be uncollectible. Factors considered in determining the amount of the reserve include the age of the receivable, the financial condition of the customer, general business, economic and political conditions, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Unexpected changes in the aforementioned factors would result in materially different amounts for this item.

Product Warranties – The Company’s products are sold with warranty provisions that require it to remedy deficiencies in quality or performance over a specified period of time, up to 36 months, at no cost to the Company’s customers. The Company’s policy is to establish warranty reserves at levels that represent its estimate of the costs that will be incurred to fulfill those warranty requirements at the time that revenue is recognized. The Company believes that its recorded liabilities are adequate to cover its future cost of materials, and overhead for the servicing of its products sold through that date. If there is an actual product failure, or material or service delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, its warranty liability would need to be revised accordingly.

Deferred Taxes – Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based upon prior taxable income and estimates of future taxable income, the Company has determined that it is likely that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized in the future. Thus a full valuation allowance has been established. If actual taxable income

varies from these estimates, the Company may be required to change the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets resulting in a change in income tax benefit, which will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained net losses applicable to common stockholders of $5,472,302 (restated) in 2005 and $5,793,646 (restated) in 2004 and at May 29, 2005 had an accumulated deficit of $14,041,346 (restated). The Company generated $1,480,000 of cash from operating activities in 2005. In May 2005 the Company sold its Korean subsidiary and its Minneapolis headquarter building. The sale of the Korean subsidiary resulted in the receipt of cash from JEC Korea Co., Ltd. of $1,472,039 and a secured note for $2,250,000. The sale of the Minneapolis headquarter building resulted in the receipt of cash from Dane Industries Inc. of $3,850,000, of which $2,509,203 was used to pay the mortgage. During May 2005 the Company paid off the bank debt in the United States and at May 29, 2005 the Company’s bank debt was $289,628, all applicable to its China operations. The Company continues to have a $7,000,000 line-of-credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank in Minneapolis that runs through December 4, 2006.

Based on available funds, current plans and business conditions, management believes the Company’s available cash and amounts generated from operations and bank borrowings, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for the next twelve months and in the foreseeable future. The assumptions underlying this belief include, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in the business or market in general. There can be no assurances however that those assumed events will occur. If management’s plans are not achieved, there may be further negative effects on the results of operations and cash flows, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The following table summarizes the Company’s working capital position at May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004:

(US Dollars in Thousands)	May 29, 2005	May 30, 2004

Working capital	5,266	5,429
Cash and cash equivalents	2,191	837
Cash provided by (used in) operations	1,480	(950	)
Unutilized bank credit facility	3,357	1,489

Current Working Capital Position

At May 29, 2005, the Company had current assets of $12,638,522 and current liabilities of $7,372,718 representing working capital of $5,265,804 (restated) and a current ratio of 1.7. This represents a decrease in working capital of $163,000 from $5,429,000 (restated) at May 30, 2004. The Company relies on its credit facilities as sources of working capital to support normal growth in revenue, capital expenditures and attainment of profit goals. The Company has not committed to any material capital expenditures as of May 29, 2005.

Cash and Investments: At May 29, 2005, the Company had cash and securities totaling $2,191,000, up from $837,000 at May 30, 2004. The increase in cash was principally due to the cash receipts from the sale of the Korean subsidiary and the Minneapolis headquarters building.

Credit Facility: The Company maintains a credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., which is an asset-based credit facility of $7,000,000, secured by all company assets. The borrowing base is eligible trade receivables. At May 29, 2005 there were no borrowings compared to borrowings of $1,965,000 at May 30, 2004. The financing agreement contains financial covenants. These covenants require the Company, among other things, to maintain a minimum capital/equity base, and also impose certain limitations on additional capital expenditures and the payment of dividends. At the end of fiscal 2005, the Company’s actual net book worth and income before taxes did not meet the minimum of the credit agreement. The minimum net book worth covenant was $13,809,000 and the minimum income before taxes covenant was a loss of $573,000. The Company has received a waiver and amendment for these covenants. Following the August 31, 2005 waiver, the Company believes the provisions imposed by this credit agreement are achievable based on the Company’s expected operating results for the next year.

CASH FLOWS FOR FISCAL 2005

Operations: Operations provided $1,480,000 of cash during fiscal 2005 due principally to the following activities: (1) the loss, net of non-cash charges for: depreciation of $518,000, loss on the sale of Minneapolis headquarter’s building of $137,000, loss on the sale of Korean subsidiary of $2,442,000 and an increase in the provision for bad debts on trade receivables of $490,000 used cash of $1,740,000 (restated); (2) net changes of current assets and current liabilities provided $2,749,000 (restated) of cash, and (3) the discontinued Korean operation provided $470,000 of cash.

Investing Activities: Proceeds from the sale of the Korean subsidiary and Minneapolis headquarters building less amounts spent for tooling and test equipment provided $4,523,000 of cash.

Financing Activities: Financing activities used cash of $4,648,000, with repayments for bank borrowings of $1,965,000 and principal payments on long-term debt of $2,483,000, principally the mortgage debt on the Minneapolis building, representing the major financing activities for the year.

Effect of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations: The effect of translating the Chinese financial statements, which were prepared in Chinese Yuan (Yuan) to U.S. Dollars, had minimal effect on cash for the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Recent Events – During June 2005 the Company became aware of accounting errors in its China operations that resulted in an understatement of the loss applicable to common stockholders of $593,000 for fiscal year 2004 and $425,000 for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2005 compared to results that were originally reported. The sale of the Company’s Korean subsidiary in May 2005, required adjustments to the financial statements to present Korean operations as “discontinued operations”.

In December 2005, the Company became aware of additional accounting errors in its China operations that resulted in an understatement of the loss applicable to common stockholders of $248,000 for fiscal 2004 and $342,385 for fiscal 2005 compared to the results that were originally reported.

Fiscal Year Ended May 29, 2005

	Restated			Restated			Increase		Increase
($000)	Fiscal 2005			Fiscal 2004			Amount		Percent
Net Sales	$	37,216		$	35,361		$	1,855	5	%
Operating Loss	$	(2,206	)	$	(5,324	)	$	3,118	59	%

Net sales were $37,216,000 for fiscal 2005, up 5% from fiscal 2004 of $35,361,000. During fiscal year 2005 the Company saw a growth in the number of medical equipment customers and the start of a recovery in business activity in the data communications area.

The gross profit margin was 26.3% (restated) for fiscal 2005 compared to 22.4% (restated) for fiscal 2004. The improvement in gross profit margin is partially due to lower production costs in China compared to U.S. manufacturing, which was discontinued in the early months of fiscal year 2004. The consolidation of manufacturing operations to Asian locations has started to produce some efficiencies and cost savings during fiscal year 2005 that were not enjoyed in the early quarters of fiscal year 2004, of approximately $650,000.

Operating expenses, in total, decreased to $12,003,000 during fiscal 2005, down from $13,249,000 in fiscal 2004, which included $2,064,000 of exit costs, which did not repeat in fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2005 general and administrative costs were $5,642,000 compared to $4,769,000 in the previous fiscal year. Some of the more significant expense increases in general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2005 included outside consultants for the start of Sarbanes-

Oxley compliance of $210,000, one year’s severance pay and related taxes for the former general manager of the Korean subsidiary of $164,000 and an increase to the bad debt allowance of $490,000.

The Company’s order backlog at May 29, 2005 was $9,678,000, down 3.5% from May 30, 2004 of $10,027,000.

Interest expenses were $407,000 during fiscal 2005, about the same as the $411,000 in fiscal 2004. Other expenses of $111,000 during fiscal 2005, included the $137,000 loss on sale of the Minneapolis headquarter building.

CASH FLOWS FOR FISCAL 2004

Operations: Operations used $950,000 of cash during fiscal 2004 due principally to the following activities: (1) the loss, net of non-cash charges for: depreciation of $872,000, and asset impairment of $1,742,000 used cash of $3,034,000 (restated); (2) net changes of current assets and current liabilities provided $1,685,000 (restated) of cash, and (3) the discontinued Korean operation provided $375,000 of cash.

Investing Activities: The purchase of tooling and test equipment used $322,000 of cash, including $9,000 from discontinued operations.

Financing Activities: Net bank borrowings provided $1,965,000 of cash and repayments on long-term debt used $270,000. Discontinued Korean operations used $507,000 of cash, principally repayments on the credit facility.

Effect of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations: The effect was minimal on cash for the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal Year Ended May 30, 2004

	Restated						Increase /			(Decrease)
($000)	Fiscal 2004			Fiscal 2003			Amount			Percent
Net Sales	$	35,361		$	35,996		$	(635	)	(2	)%
Operating Loss	$	(5,324	)	$	(7,174	)	$	1,850		26	%

Net sales were $35,361,000 for fiscal 2004, down 2% from $35,996,000 for fiscal 2003. The Korean subsidiary, which has been treated as discontinued operations and excluded from the above revenue figures, had a sales increase of $4,265,000 in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003.

The gross profit margin was 22.4% (restated) for fiscal 2004, compared to 19.2% for fiscal 2003. The gross profit margin in fiscal 2004 increased $797,000 from cost reductions related to the exit of manufacturing activities in Minneapolis, reduced by inventory write-downs of $545,000 for such exit. Increased business volume in North America contributed approximately $311,000 to fiscal 2004 gross profit margins. Fiscal 2003 gross margins were adversely affected by $740,000 from the acquisition of Power General.

Operating expenses decreased to $13,249,000 in fiscal 2004, compared to $14,069,000 in fiscal 2003. The fiscal year 2003 had a goodwill impairment charge of $1,153,000, which did not repeat in fiscal 2004. The fiscal 2004 operating expenses include $2,064,000 of exit costs related to the discontinuance of manufacturing activities in Minneapolis. Severance pay for employees affected by this exit is included in the $2,064,000 amount.

The Company’s order backlog at May 30, 2004 was $10,027,000 compared to $13,850,000 at June 1, 2003. The backlog decrease is principally the result of many customers ordering on a just in time basis.

Increased bank debt during fiscal 2004, compared to fiscal 2003 resulted in interest expense of $411,000 for fiscal 2004, compared to $264,000 in fiscal 2003.

Information About Revenue by Geography

Revenue from the U.S., from each foreign country that is a source of significant revenue, and from all other foreign countries as a group are as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended		Fiscal Year Ended
	May 29, 2005		May 30, 2004
	($000)		($000)

U.S.	$	27,062	$	26,702
China	4,305		3,567
Canada	1,281		1,182
Ireland	1,533		983
Belgium	97		22
Other Foreign	2,938		2,905

Total	$	37,216	$	35,361

The Company considers a country to be the geographic source of revenue if it has contractual obligations, including obligation to pay for trade receivable invoices.

Impact of Foreign Operations and Currency Changes

Products manufactured by the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries comprise a large portion of total sales. The Company will experience normal valuation changes as the Chinese currency fluctuates. The effect of translating the Chinese financial statements had minimal effect for the year.

Forward Looking Statements

From time to time, in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in press releases, and in other communications to shareholders or the investing public, the Company may make forward-looking statements concerning possible or anticipated future results of operations or business developments that are typically preceded by the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends” or similar expressions. For such forward-looking statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Shareholders and the investing public should understand that such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause results or developments to differ significantly from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the overall level of sales by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the telecommunications, data communications, medical and other markets; buying patterns of the Company’s existing and prospective customers; the impact of new products introduced by competitors; delays in new product introductions; higher than expected expense related to sales and new marketing initiatives; availability of adequate supplies of raw materials and components; dependence on outside contractors; reliance on third-party distribution; unanticipated expenses related to integration of manufacturing and personnel from acquisitions, such as the acquisition of the Power General assets; dependence on foreign manufacturing and other operations; and other risks affecting the Company’s target markets generally.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of May 29, 2005 (in thousands):

Payments due by Period

	Total		1 Year		2 Years		3 Years		After 3 Years

Long-term debt	$	290	290		0		0		0

Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved for issuance SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that upon adoption, amortization of goodwill will cease and instead, the carrying value of goodwill will be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. In fiscal 2002 the amortization expense was $100,000. On June 3, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, and the initial impairment test was performed and it was determined that there was no goodwill impairment on June 3, 2002. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the annual goodwill impairment test was performed and the fair value of the Company was assessed to determine whether goodwill carried was impaired and the extent of such impairment. After performing this evaluation it was evident that impairment of goodwill had occurred because of a decline in revenues for the fourth quarter compared to forecasted revenues, as well as a significant increase in the fourth quarter loss compared to forecast. The Company did not perform an impairment test prior to the fourth quarter as there wasn’t an event that had occurred or circumstances had changed in such a manner to warrant an impairment test prior to the fourth quarter. Accordingly, an impairment charge of $1,153,153 was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company experiences foreign currency gains and losses, which are reflected in the financial statements, due to the strengthening and weakening of the U.S. Dollar against currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. To date, the effect of translating the Chinese financial statements, which were prepared in Chinese Yuan to U.S. Dollars, has had minimal effect on the Company’s financial position. There are no assurances that future results will not be significantly affected by future exchange rates between the Chinese Yuan and U.S. Dollar.

The Company has bank borrowing facilities which have variable interest rate terms. For every $1,000,000 of bank debt, an interest rate increase of 1% would result in $10,000 of additional expense.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Stockholders and Board of Directors

Ault Incorporated and Subsidiaries

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Ault Incorporated and subsidiaries (a Minnesota corporation) as of May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the 2004 financial statements of the Ault Korea Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements (presented as discontinued operations) reflect total assets and revenues constituting 46 percent and 22 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated totals as of and for the year ended May 30, 2004. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the 2004 amounts included for the Ault Korea Corporation is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ault Incorporated and subsidiaries as of May 29, 2005 and May 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1, the consolidated financial statements have been restated.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule II of Ault Incorporated and subsidiaries is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the 2005 and 2004 audits of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED MAY 29, 2005, MAY 30, 2004, AND JUNE 1, 2003

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, LIQUIDITY, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business - Ault Incorporated and Subsidiaries (Ault or the Company) operate in one business segment which includes the design, manufacturing, and marketing of power conversion products, principally to original equipment manufacturers of data communications equipment, microcomputers and related peripherals, telecommunications equipment, and portable medical equipment. Sales are to customers worldwide, and credit is granted based upon the credit policies of the Company.

Restatement – The consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004 were restated as a result of the Company’s identification of accounting errors at the Company’s China subsidiary related to unrecorded liabilities. The accounting errors resulted in a misstatement in accounts payables, current liabilities, accumulated deficit, total shareholders’ equity, cost of goods sold, gross profit, operating loss, loss before taxes, net loss, net loss applicable to common stockholders, and net loss per share. There were also related adjustments to the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

Liquidity – The financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained net losses applicable to common stockholders of $5,472,302 (restated) in 2005 and $5,793,646 (restated) in 2004 and at May 29, 2005 had an accumulated deficit of $14,041,346 (restated). The Company generated $1,480,000 of cash from operating activities in 2005. In May 2005 the Company sold its Korean subsidiary and its Minneapolis headquarter building. The sale of the Korean subsidiary resulted in the receipt of cash from JEC Korea Co., Ltd. of $1,472,039 and a secured note for $2,250,000. The gross proceeds of $3.85 million from the sale of the Minneapolis headquarter building was used to pay off the mortgage balance of $2,509,000 and $255,000 of transaction expenses, which included the realtors’ commissions, leaving net cash proceeds of $1,086,000 for the Company. During May 2005 the Company paid off the bank debt in the United States and at May 29, 2005 the Company’s bank debt was $289,628, all applicable to its China operations. The Company continues to have a $7,000,000 line-of-credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank in Minneapolis that runs through December 4, 2006.

Based on available funds, current plans and business conditions management believes that the Company’s available cash, borrowings and amounts generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for the next 12 months. The assumptions underlying this belief include, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in the business or market in general. There can be no assurances however that those assumed events will occur. If management’s plans are not achieved, there may be further negative effects on the results of operations and cash flows, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ault Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The foreign currency translation adjustment represents the translation into United States dollars of the Company’s investment in the net assets of its foreign subsidiaries.

Fiscal Year - The Company operates on a 52 to 53-week fiscal year. The fiscal years for the financial statements presented end on May 29, 2005, May 30, 2004, and June 1, 2003. All years presented contain 52 weeks. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have an April 30 fiscal year-end, and the Company consolidates the subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes on a one-month lag basis to facilitate timely and accurate consolidation and in order to meet financial reporting deadlines of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of short-term commercial paper. The Company maintained cash at various financial institutions located in China totaling $545,362 and $553,807 at May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004.

Accounts Receivable - The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business, but generally does not require collateral or any other security to support amounts due. Management performs on-going credit evaluations of customers based on financial position, past history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have generally been within management expectations. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventories include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead.

Depreciation - Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets and is calculated on the straight-line method for financial reporting and accelerated methods for tax purposes. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

		Years

Building		36
Machinery and equipment		3-10
Office furniture and equipment		5-15
Data processing equipment		3-5
Leasehold improvement		Lease term

Financial Instruments - The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on the use of discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having the same or similar remaining maturities and collateral requirements. Management estimates the carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value. All other financial instruments approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue at the shipping point for sales to customers located within the Company’s or subsidiaries’ country of domicile. For sales to customers outside of the Company’s or subsidiaries’ country of domicile, the Company recognizes revenue at the time risk of ownership passes. All of the Company’s product held by distributors are stocked for OEM’s and the sales terms are noncancelable, and nonreturnable. Payment terms for distributors are no different than other customers, 0.5% 10 net 30.

Freight - Customer billings for freight are included in sales, and the freight costs are included in costs of sales.

Design Engineering - Design engineering costs are those incurred for research, design, and development of new products and redesign of existing products. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Expense - The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses of approximately $13,000, $129,000, and $76,000 were charged to operations during the years ended May 29, 2005, May 30, 2004, and June 1, 2003, respectively.

Stock Compensation - The Company’s 1986 and 1996 stock option plans have reserved 600,000 and 1,500,000 common shares, for issuance under qualified and nonqualified stock options for its key employees and directors. Option prices are determined by the market value of the stock at the time the option was granted. Options become exercisable as determined at the date of grant by a committee of the Board of Directors. Options expire ten years after the date of grant unless an earlier expiration date is set at the time of grant.

The intrinsic value method is used to value the stock option grants to employees and directors. No compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plans, as all options have been issued with exercised prices at or above fair value. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

	Restated			Restated
	May 29,			May 30,			June 1,
	2005			2004			2003
Net loss applicable to common stockholders:
As reported	$	(5,472,302	)	$	(5,793,646	)	$	(7,692,073	)
Pro forma	(5,678,259		)	(6,054,664		)	(8,092,340		)
Per share, basic, as reported	(1.15		)	(1.24		)	(1.67		)
Per share, diluted, as reported	(1.15		)	(1.24		)	(1.67		)
Per share, basic, pro forma	(1.19		)	(1.29		)	(1.76		)
Per share, diluted, pro forma	(1.19		)	(1.29		)	(1.76		)

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2005, 2004, and 2003:

	May 29,			May 30,			June 1,
	2005			2004			2003

Expected dividend yields	$	—		$	—		$	—
Expected stock price volatility	68.95		%	71.01		%	73.63		%
Risk-free interest rate	3.33		%	2.77		%	2.01		%
Expected life of options	7.29 years			7.48 years			7.55 years

Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews its long-lived assets annually to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets outstanding with estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangibles. To date, management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets exists.

Net Loss per Share - Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted by common share equivalents related to stock options and warrants. Options to purchase 1,265,626, 1,187,826, and 1,093,426, shares of common stock were outstanding at the fiscal years ended May 29, 2005, May 30, 2004, and June 1, 2003, but were excluded from the computation of common stock equivalents because they were anti-dilutive.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

	Restated				Restated
	May 29,				May 30,			June 1,
	2005				2004			2003

Numerator -
Net loss applicable to common stockholders	$		(5,472,302	)	$	(5,793,646	)	$	(7,692,073	)
Denominator:
Basic - weighted-average shares outstanding	4,776,075				4,679,570			4,596,882
Effect of dilutive shares:
Stock options outstanding and employee stock purchase plan	0				0			0
Diluted - weighted-average shares outstanding	4,776,075				4,679,570			4,596,882

Basic net loss per share	$	(1.15		)	$	(1.24	)	$	(1.67	)

Diluted net loss per share	$	(1.15		)	$	(1.24	)	$	(1.67	)

The numerator for net loss for continuing operations includes loss from continuing operations and preferred stock dividends.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Loss - The Company’s fiscal 2005 comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign Currency Translation - The Company’s international subsidiaries have United States dollars as their functional currency. Specific transactions that are denominated in the foreign currency are translated at the current exchange rate.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 20, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Korea Corporation (“Ault Korea”), to JEC Korea Co., Ltd (“JEC”) for $3.7 million. The agreement includes the receipt of $1,472,000 in cash and a secured note in the amount of $2,250,000. The transaction resulted in a loss of approximately $2,442,000 and the reclassification of the Korean subsidiary activity as “discontinued operations” for all periods presented.

The sale includes all assets and liabilities of Ault Korea Corporation and the use of the “Ault Korea” name in Korea for a period of three years. Ault Korea includes the property in Seoul, South Korea and approximately 110 employees. As part of the terms of the agreement, JEC has the rights to sell power conversion products in Korea while Ault will have rights to sell the same power conversion products throughout the rest of the world. Prior to this transaction, JEC was a supplier of Ault, but otherwise no material relationship existed between Ault and JEC, or their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their directors and officers.

The secured note receivable is scheduled to be paid in four equal installments of $562,500 in December 2005, June 2006, December 2006 and the final installment in June 2007.

Revenues and results of operations for the Korean subsidiary for the most recent three fiscal years include the following:

	$	3,377,431	$	4,898,167

4. WARRANTY

The Company offers its customers a three-year warranty on products. Warranty expense is estimated at the time revenue is recognized and is determined by calculating the historical relationship between sales and warranty costs and applying the calculation to the current period’s sales. Based on warranty repair costs and the rate of return, the Company periodically reviews and adjusts its warranty accrual. Actual repair costs are offset against the reserve. The following table shows the activity for the Company’s warranty accrual (in thousands):

	May 29,			May 30,

5. FINANCING ARRANGEMENT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Financing Arrangement - The Company has a financing agreement, which includes a $7,000,000 revolving line-of-credit agreement through December 4, 2006. Interest on advances is at the prime rate plus 2% (prime plus 5% default rate). The rate at May 29, 2005 was 8.00% and on May 30, 2004 the rate was 6.00%. All advances are due on demand and are collateralized by all assets of the Company. The availability of the line is based on the outstanding receivables of the Company; the amount available at May 29, 2005 was $3,357,000. There was nothing outstanding on this line-of-credit at May 29, 2005. The Company’s financing agreement contains financial covenants. These covenants require the Company, among other things, to maintain a minimum capital base, and also impose certain limitations on additional capital expenditures and the payment of dividends. At the end of fiscal 2005, the Company’s actual net book worth and income before taxes did not meet the minimum of the credit agreement. The Company received a waiver and amendment for these covenants. Following the August 2005 waiver, the Company believes the provisions imposed by this credit agreement are achievable based on the Company’s expected operating results for the next year.

6. PLANT CLOSING

On July 17, 2003, the Company announced the consolidation of its manufacturing operations. The consolidation included the closing of its Minneapolis production operations, eliminating approximately 40 jobs in assembly, equipment maintenance, procurement and administrative support and the integration of production into Ault’s other manufacturing plants. The consolidation was completed at the end of February 2004. Ault’s engineering, documentation, safety certification/reliability, sales, marketing and administrative services remain at the Minneapolis headquarters facility. The consolidation was implemented to reduce expenses, improve cash flow and help return the Company to profitability.

As a result of these decisions, the Company recorded charges in fiscal year 2004 of $301,000, for severance related to workforce reductions of approximately 40 employees, $1,743,000 for asset impairment write down, $545,000 for obsolete inventory, and $20,000 related to other costs associated with the restructuring. Costs of $15,000 related to the restructuring were paid in fiscal 2005.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,846,000 as of May 29, 2005, with various expiration dates through 2023. Based on prior taxable income and estimates of future taxable income, the Company has determined that it is likely that the net deferred tax asset will not be fully realized in the future. Thus a full valuation allowance has been established.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Employer Match Plan - The Company has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. The Company is required to match 25% of the employees’ first 6% of contributions and may make additional contributions to the plan to the extent authorized by the Board of Directors. The contribution amounts charged to operating expenses in the fiscal years ended May 29, 2005, May 30, 2004, and June 1, 2003 approximated $46,000, $55,000, and $58,000, respectively.

Stock Purchase Plan - The Company maintains a stock purchase plan in which up to 200,000 shares of common stock may be purchased by employees. The purchase price is equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the date the phase commences or 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the termination date of the phase. Each phase is one year from the commencement date of a phase. There were 23,212, and 25,875 shares purchased under this plan during the fiscal years ended June 1, 2003, and May 29, 2005, respectively. No shares were purchased under the plan during the year ended May 30, 2004 due to the phase ending on May 31, 2004.

9. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In July 2002, in connection with the purchase of certain assets and liabilities of Power General, the Company issued 2,074 shares of redeemable 7% convertible preferred stock at $1,000 face value. The preferred stock is convertible into common stock at the holders’ option at a conversion price of $4.25 principal amount of preferred stock for each share and has a mandatory redemption of one-third of the outstanding shares of unconverted preferred stock on July 16, 2006, one-half of the remaining outstanding shares on July 16, 2007, and the remaining outstanding shares on July 16, 2008.

15. ACQUISITION

On July 16, 2002, the Company purchased a portion of the operating assets of the Power General division of Nidec America Corporation. The Power General division developed, manufactured, and sold high-efficiency DC/DC converters and custom power supplies at various power levels up to 1200 watts under the Power General brand name. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid the seller $366,000 in cash and issued $2,074,000 face amount of the Company’s newly created Series B 7% Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the Preferred Stock). The Preferred Stock issued to seller is convertible into 488,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has filed a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Preferred Stock was converted into common stock of the Company during reported periods. The Preferred Stock was excluded from Diluted EPS in the current year as the effect of its inclusion would be antidilutive. The Company has maintained Power General’s engineering group in Massachusetts and has moved Power General’s manufacturing operations and related functions to the Company’s other facilities in Asia.

The total cost of the acquisition was $2,559,278 and was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
