Item 2: Acquisition and Disposition of Assets.

Pursuant to a purchase agreement dated December 10, 2003, on December 31, 2003, Registrant sold the assets of its Metar winding equipment division “Metar” to Metar SA en constitution, which was formed by Metar employees as a vehicle to acquire the division’s assets. Neither Metar SA nor any of its officers, directors or stockholders is an affiliate of the Registrant.  The division was part of Registrant’s Maxwell SA subsidiary, which is located in Rossens, Switzerland. Metar was determined to be a non-core business of Maxwell. The sale price of $322,000 was arrived at through negotiation between the division employees and Maxwell management.  Metar SA en constitution has agreed to complete current open orders and deliver finished winding machines to respective customers in the first quarter of FY 2004.  The sale of the division will result in a write-off by Registrant in the fourth quarter of FY 2003, of up to $700,000 for excess and obsolete inventory and certain employee benefit obligations.  In its Form 10-Q filing for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003, Registrant reported its intention to sell the assets of Metar and estimated that such write-off might be as much as $1 million.

On December 31, 2003, Registrant also sold a vacant facility located on five acres at 8888 Balboa Ave., San Diego, California, 92123, to Horizon Christian Fellowship, an unrelated party, for $8,995,000 in cash.  The sale price was the highest of several offers received for the subject property, which had been listed for sale for more than one year. Registrant used the net proceeds to retire a term loan secured by the property and to augment its cash reserves.

On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in the event Buyer disapproves of its due diligence investigations, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, Buyer’s written notice of its disapproval (“Buyer’s Inspection Notice”).  Buyer’s failure to timely provide Buyer’s Inspection Notice shall be deemed Buyer’s approval of its due diligence investigations and the satisfaction of this condition precedent.  In the event Buyer timely delivers Buyer’s Inspection Notice, the terms of Paragraph 4.5 below shall apply.  Buyer shall indemnify, protect and defend Seller against, and hold Seller harmless from, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, liens, attorneys’ fees, court costs, and litigation expenses of any kind or nature arising directly or indirectly from the entry of Buyer, its agents, contractors or employees onto the Property.  If Buyer conducts any destructive physical analysis or testing on the Property, Buyer shall return the Property to the same condition as existed prior to the commencement of such analysis or testing. The obligations of Buyer as set forth in this Paragraph 4.1 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

4.2Title Matters.  Not later than ten (10) days following the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall cause a preliminary report (“Title Report”) prepared by Chicago Title Company to be delivered to Buyer for review and approval.  Buyer shall have until September 25, 2003 (such period hereinafter referred to as the “Title Review Period”) to deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s disapproval of any title exceptions shown on Schedule B of the Title Report.  The failure of Buyer to deliver Buyer’s Title Notice on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of the Title Report and the condition of title to the Property, and the satisfaction of this condition precedent.  If Buyer disapproves any title exception shown in Schedule B of the Title Report, then Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, within five (5) days after its receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice (“Seller’s Election Period”), elect to eliminate such disapproved title matters by the Close of Escrow or purchase an applicable endorsement to the title policy as of the Closing, provided that, Seller shall have no obligation to pay any consideration or incur any liability to eliminate such disapproved title matters.  If Seller does not elect to, or is unable to, eliminate any disapproved title matters, then Buyer shall have the right, upon delivery of a written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, (i) to waive its prior disapproval, in which event such condition precedent

3

shall be deemed waived, or (ii) to terminate the Agreement, in which case Paragraph 4.5 shall apply.  Any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions or other matters affecting title to the Property which appear of record or are discovered after the date of the Title Report shall be subject to Buyer’s additional approval and the procedures for Seller’s elimination or cure of any such objections as set forth above shall be applicable to such additional matters.  Upon the Close of Escrow, Chicago Title Company shall cause a CLTA owner’s policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”) to be issued to Buyer, at Seller’s expense, with liability in the amount of that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Land, which provides that fee simple title to the Land vests in Buyer subject only to (i) those matters in the Title Report approved by Buyer (or deemed approved by Buyer) and (ii) any lien voluntarily imposed on the Property by Buyer at the Close of Escrow.  Buyer shall have the option, but not the obligation, to procure an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance or such additional endorsements to the Title Policy as required by Buyer in its discretion, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

4.3Change in Use.  The Parties acknowledge that Buyer intends to change the use of the Property to religious, education and office uses following its acquisition, and further, that such use would require a conditional use permit from the City of San Diego (“Use Permit”).  Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer’s attempts to obtain a Use Permit from the City of San Diego, including, without limitation, such documents and applications as are necessary for Buyer to obtain the Use Permit, on condition that (i) such cooperation is at no expense to Seller; (ii) no Use Permit is actually issued until the Close of Escrow; and (iii) any such application will be withdrawn without penalty to Seller in the event that Buyer elects not to proceed with the purchase of the Property.

4.4Personal Property Inventory.  During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and Seller may negotiate for the sale of all or a portion of Seller’s personal property located at the Property.  If any such property is sold, it shall be conveyed with the Property, without any representation or warranty by Buyer, by Bill of Sale in form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

4.5No Default.  As of the Closing, Seller shall not be in default in any of its material obligations under the terms of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of Seller contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects.

4.6Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement, then:  (i) the Deposit shall be paid or retained in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 above; (ii) Buyer and Seller shall each pay the cost of one-half of Escrow Holder’s cancellation fees; (iii) no later than ten (10) days following any such termination, Buyer shall deliver to Seller copies of the plans, analyses, reports and other written information concerning the Property or property obtained by Buyer during its review of the Property, if so requested by Seller, which documents would be without warranty or representation as to accuracy by Buyer; and (iv) Buyer shall remain obligated to perform Buyer’s indemnification obligations described in Paragraph 4.1 above.

5.Conditions Precedent to the Closing for the Benefit of Seller.  The Closing and Seller’s obligations to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject

4

to the timely satisfaction or written waiver of the following conditions precedent for Seller’s benefit.

5.1Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date made and as of the Closing with the same effect as if those representations and warranties were made at and as of the Closing.

5.2Covenants.  At the Closing, Buyer shall not be in default in the performance of any material covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement.

9.Prorations.

9.1Proration of Taxes. Real, supplemental and personal property taxes for the Property shall be prorated by the parties as of the Closing Date on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.  Seller shall be responsible for (i) all such taxes for the fiscal year of the applicable taxing authority occurring prior to the Current Tax Period (as defined below) and (ii) that portion of such taxes for the Current Tax Period to 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date, whether or not the same shall be payable prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, that Seller shall not be responsible for any portion of an increase in real, supplemental or personal property taxes resulting from the sale of the Property to Buyer.  The phrase “Current Tax Period” refers to the fiscal year of the applicable taxing authority in which the Closing occurs.  All tax prorations shall be based upon the latest available tax statement(s).  If the tax statements for the fiscal tax year during which Escrow closes do not become available until after the Closing Date, then the rates and assessed values of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used, and the parties shall re-prorate said taxes outside of Escrow following the Closing Date when such tax statements become available.  Any special assessment affecting the Property shall not be prorated whether or not it is then a lien on the Property payable prior to or on the date of Closing.  All unpaid installments of any such assessment (including those which are to become due and payable after the date of Closing) shall be deemed to be due and payable prior to the Closing and shall be paid and discharged by Seller at or prior to the Closing.

9.2Utilities.  Seller shall make arrangements with the applicable utility companies to terminate utility services at the Property as of the date of Close of Escrow and shall be responsible for the payment of all final bills (relating to the period up to the Close of Escrow) after the Close of Escrow.  Buyer shall be responsible for commencing all utility services at the Property in the name of Buyer as of the date of Close of Escrow at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.  The parties agree to reasonably cooperate to accomplish the transfer of all utility services for the Property into the name of the Buyer upon the Close of Escrow.

9.3Operating Expenses.  All nonmetered operating expenses of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with Seller remaining responsible for the payment of any accounts payable relating to services rendered or goods supplied to the Property prior to the Close of Escrow.

10.1Disburse Funds.  Escrow Holder shall credit all matters addressed in the final proration schedule and disburse the Purchase Price to Seller promptly upon the Closing.

15.1Eminent Domain or Taking.  If, prior to the Close of Escrow, any portion of the Property is taken or if the access thereto or available parking area therefor is materially reduced or restricted by eminent domain or otherwise (or is the subject of a pending, threatened or contemplated taking which has not been consummated), Seller, if Seller has actual knowledge thereof, shall immediately notify Buyer of such fact.  In such event, Buyer shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) days after Buyer receives notice of such taking.  If this Agreement is terminated, Escrow Holder shall promptly return to each party all funds and documents deposited by that party, respectively, into Escrow and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except the payment of escrow cancellation fees and title costs, which shall be borne equally by the parties and indemnity obligations established under this Agreement.  If Buyer does not exercise its option to terminate this Agreement, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement based on such taking or threatened taking, but Seller shall assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep as its sole and exclusive remedy, all awards for the taking by eminent domain which accrue to Seller and the parties shall proceed to the Close of Escrow pursuant to the terms hereof, without modification of the terms of this Agreement and without any reduction in the Purchase Price.

15.2Fire or Casualty.  If the Property suffers damage as a result of any casualty prior to the Closing, then Seller shall give written notice thereof to Buyer promptly after the occurrence of the casualty.  In the event that such damage to the Property is less than the amount of $500,000 to repair, then the Closing shall occur as scheduled and Buyer shall receive, as of the Closing, an assignment of all of Seller’s insurance proceeds received as a result of such damage. In the event that such damage exceeds the amount of $500,000.00 to repair, Buyer’s remedies shall be limited to its election, by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder to either (i) terminate the Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder; or (ii) accept the Property in its damaged condition, together with an assignment of Seller’s insurance proceeds relating to the casualty. Seller hereby agrees that in such event, it shall not sell or compromise any insurance claim affecting the Property without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  In the event that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall have ten (10) days from receipt of Buyer’s termination notice to elect to repair and restore the damage caused by the casualty, in which event, the Closing Date will be extended

11

until such date as may be reasonably required to complete the repair or restoration, and in which case, Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds applicable to the casualty.
