PART I

Item 1. Business.

Jaco Electronics, Inc. was organized in the State of New York in 1961. Our principal executive offices are located at 145 Oser Avenue, Hauppauge, New York 11788, and our telephone number is (631) 273-5500.

Our Company

        We are a leading distributor of electronic components to industrial OEMs and contract manufacturers throughout North America. We also provide contract manufacturing services to our industrial OEM customers. We distribute products such as semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, electromechanical devices, flat panel displays and monitors and power supplies, which are used in the manufacture and assembly of electronic products, including:

o telecommunications equipment            o computers and office equipment

o medical devices and instrumentation     o industrial equipment and controls

o military/aerospace systems              o automotive and consumer electronics

        We have two distribution centers and 20 strategically located sales offices throughout the United States. We distribute more than 35,000 products from over 75 vendors, including such market leaders as Kemet Electronics Corporation, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., and Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., to a base of over 6,000 customers through a dedicated and highly motivated sales force. To enhance our ability to distribute electronic components, we provide a variety of value-added services including automated inventory management services, assembling stock items for our customers into pre-packaged kits, integrating and assembling various custom components with flat panel displays to customer specifications and providing contract manufacturing services. Our core customer base consists primarily of small and medium-sized manufacturers that produce electronic equipment used in a wide variety of industries.

        In June 2000, we acquired Interface Electronics Corp.("Interface"). We paid $15.4 million in cash and assumed $3.3 million in bank debt and are obligated to make deferred payments of up to approximately $6.6 million during the two year period following June 2000 if certain “minimum sales” levels are achieved. For the period ended June 7, 2001, Interface met certain “minimum sales” levels, and we paid an amount equal to $3.76 million Interface is a distributor of electronic components, primarily in the Northeast and Southeast United States. As a result of the Interface acquisition, we have acquired distribution rights for certain significant vendor lines in the United States.

Our Industry

        The electronic components distribution industry has become an increasingly important sales channel for component manufacturers. Electronic components distributors relieve component manufacturers of a portion of the costs and personnel needed to warehouse and sell their products. Distributors market manufacturers’ products to a broader range of OEMs than such manufacturers could economically serve with their direct sales forces. Today, distributors have become an integral part of their customers’ purchasing and inventory process. Distributors offer their customers the ability to outsource their purchasing and warehousing responsibilities. Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) permits distributors to receive timely scheduling of component requirements from customers enabling them to provide these value-added services. Distributors also work with their suppliers to ensure that manufacturers’ components are integrated into the design of new products.

Products

        We currently distribute over 35,000 stock items. Our management believes that it is necessary for us to carry a wide variety of items in order to fully service our customers’ requirements. Our products fall into two broad categories: “active” and “passive” components. Historically, active components and passive components each represented approximately 50% of our net distribution sales. With the additional suppliers added as a result of the azquistion of Interface, active components represented approximately 60% of our net distribution sales and passive components represented 40% during the current fiscal year.

        Active components principally include semiconductors. Semiconductors consist of such items as integrated circuits, microprocessors, transistors, diodes, dynamic random access memory (“RAM”), static RAMs, video RAMs and metal oxide field effect transistors. Computer subsystems are an integral part of personal computers and computer workstations and incorporate such items as flat panels and flat panel monitors, touchscreens and controllers. Passive components consist primarily of capacitors, electromechanical devices, and resistors.

Value-Added Services

        We also provide a number of value-added services which are intended to attract new customers, to maintain and increase sales to existing customers and, in the case of flat panel system integration and contract manufacturing, to generate revenues from new customers. Value-added services include:

      o     Automated Inventory Management Services.  We offer comprehensive,
            state-of-the-art solutions that effectively manage our customers' inventory
            reordering, stocking and administration functions.  These services reduce
            paperwork, inventory, cycle time, and the overall cost of doing business for
            our customers.

      o     Kitting.  Kitting consists of assembling to a customer's specifications two or
            more of our 35,000 stock items into pre-packaged kits ready for use in the
            customer's assembly line.  Kitting services allow us to provide a partial or
            complete fill of a customer's order and enable the customer to more efficiently
            manage its inventory.

      o     Flat Panel  System  Integration.  We provide  customized  hardware  and software
            solutions to meet  specific flat panel  display  requirements.  We can assemble,
            integrate, test and deliver complete flat panel display products.

      o     Contract  Manufacturing.  We also provide contract manufacturing services to our
            OEM customers  which include  procurement of customer  specified  components and
            raw  materials  from our network of suppliers and other  suppliers,  assembly of
            components on printed circuit boards ("PCBs"),  and post assembly  testing.  Our
            manufacturing  process  consists  of  both  advanced  surface  mount  technology
            ("SMT")  as  well  as  conventional   pin-through-hole  ("PTH")  interconnection
            technologies.  The SMT process  allows for more  miniaturization,  cost  savings
            and shorter  lead paths  between  components  (which  results in greater  signal
            speed).

Sales and Marketing

        We believe we have developed valuable long-term customer relationships and an in-depth understanding of our customers’ needs and purchasing patterns. Our sales personnel are trained to identify our customers’ requirements and to actively market our entire product line to satisfy those needs. We serve a broad range of customers in the computer, computer-related, telecommunications, data transmission, defense, aerospace, medical equipment and other industries. None of our customers individually represented more than seven percent of net sales in any of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

        As an authorized distributor for key vendors, we are able to offer our customers engineering support as well as warranty protection from the product manufacturers which enhances our ability to attract new customers and close sales. We provide additional customer support through communication with customers from computer to computer or through EDI, and through technically competent product managers and Field Application Engineers (“FAEs”). Our FAEs provide design support and technical assistance to our customers with detailed data solutions employing the latest technologies.

        Sales are made throughout North America from the sales departments maintained at our two distribution facilities located on the East and West Coasts of the United States in California and New York and from 20 strategically located sales offices. Sales are made primarily through personal visits by our employees and by a staff of trained telephone sales personnel who answer inquiries and receive and process orders from customers. In addition, we utilize the services of independent sales representatives whose territories include parts of North America and several foreign countries. These independent sales representatives operate under agreements which are terminable by either party upon 30 days’ notice and prohibit them from representing competing product lines. Independent sales representatives are authorized to solicit sales of all of our product lines.

Suppliers

        Manufacturers of electronic components increasingly rely on the marketing, customer service and other resources of distributors who market their product lines to customers not normally served by the manufacturer, and to supplement the manufacturer’s direct sales efforts in other accounts often by providing value-added services not offered by the manufacturer. Manufacturers seek distributors who have strong relationships with desirable customers, are financially strong, have the infrastructure to handle large volumes of products and can assist customers in the design and use of the manufacturers’ products. Currently, we have non-exclusive distribution agreements with many manufacturers, including California Micro Devices Corporation, Dallas Semiconductor Corporation, Epson Electronics America, Inc., Hynix Semiconductor America, Inc., Johanson Dielectrics, Inc., Kemet Electronics Corporation, North American Capacitor Company, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., TDK Corporation of America, and Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. We continuously seek to identify potential new suppliers and obtain additional distributorships for new lines of products. We believe that such expansion and diversification will increase our sales and market share.

        We generally purchase products from manufacturers pursuant to non-exclusive distributor agreements. As an authorized distributor, we are able to offer our suppliers marketing support.

        Most of our distributor agreements are cancelable by either party, typically upon 30 to 90 days’ notice. These agreements typically provide for price protection, stock rotation privileges and the right to return inventory. Price protection is typically in the form of a credit to us for any inventory in our possession for which the manufacturer reduces its prices. Stock rotation privileges typically allow us to exchange inventory in an amount up to five percent of a prior period’s purchases. Upon termination of a distributor agreement, the right of return typically requires the manufacturer to repurchase our inventory at our adjusted purchase price. We believe that the above-described provisions of our distributorship agreements generally have served to reduce our exposure to loss from unsold inventory. Because price protection, stock rotation privileges and the right to return inventory are limited in scope, there can be no assurances that we will not experience significant losses from unsold inventory in the future.

Operations

        Component Distribution. Inventory management is critical to a distributor’s business. We constantly focus on a high number of resales or “turns” of existing inventory to reduce exposure to product obsolescence and changing customer demand.

        Our central computer system facilitates the control of purchasing and inventory, accounts payable, shipping and receiving, and invoicing and collection information of our distribution business. Our distribution software system includes financial systems, EDI, customer order entry, purchase order entry to manufacturers, warehousing and inventory control. Each of our sales departments and offices is electronically linked to our central computer systems which provides fully integrated on-line real-time data with respect to our inventory levels. Our inventory management system was developed internally and is considered proprietary. We track inventory turns by vendor and by product, and our inventory management system provides immediate information to assist in making purchasing decisions and decisions as to which inventory to exchange with suppliers under stock rotation programs. Our inventory management system also uses bar-code technology along with scanning devices, which we supply to certain customers, and is networked to the facilities of such customers. In some cases, customers use computers that interface directly with our computers to identify available inventory and rapidly process orders. We also monitor supplier stock rotation programs, inventory price protection, rejected material and other factors related to inventory quality and quantity. This system enables us to more effectively manage our inventory and to respond more quickly to customer requirements for timely and reliable delivery of components. Our inventory turnover was approximately 4.9 times for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001.

        Contract Manufacturing. We conduct our contract manufacturing operations through our wholly owned subsidiary Nexus Custom Electronics, Inc., at two locations. The first location is an approximately 32,000 square foot facility located in Brandon, Vermont. The second location is an approximately 30,000 square foot facility located in Woburn, Massachusetts. Nexus provides contract manufacturing services to our OEM customers, which includes procurement of customer specified components and raw materials from our network of suppliers and other suppliers, assembly of components on PCBs and post-assembly testing. OEMs then incorporate the PCBs into finished products. In assembling PCBs, Nexus is capable of employing both PTH and SMT. PTH is a method of assembling PCBs in which component leads are inserted and soldered into plated holes in the board. SMT is a method of assembling PCBs in which components are fixed directly to the surface of the board, rather than being inserted into holes.

        Nexus’ Vermont manufacturing facility has earned ISO 9002 certification by the Geneva-based organization dedicated to the development of worldwide standards for quality management guidelines and quality assurance. Management believes sophisticated customers increasingly are requiring their manufacturers to be ISO 9002-certified for purposes of quality assurance.

Competition

        The electronic components distribution industry is highly competitive, primarily with respect to price and product availability. We believe that the breadth of our customer base, services and product lines, our level of technical expertise and the quality of our services generally are also particularly important. We compete with large national distributors such as Arrow Electronics, Inc. and Avnet, Inc., as well as regional and specialty distributors, such as All American Semiconductor, Inc. and Reptron Electronics, Inc., many of whom distribute the same or competitive products. Many of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition and greater financial and other resources than we do.

        The electronics contract manufacturing industry is highly fragmented and is characterized by relatively high levels of volatility, competition and pricing and margin pressure. Many large contract manufacturers operate high-volume facilities and primarily focus on high-volume product runs. In contrast, certain contract manufacturers, such as Nexus, focus on low-to-medium volume and service-intensive products.

Backlog

        As the trend toward outsourcing increases, customers have been entering into just-in-time contracts with distributors, instead of placing orders with long lead times. Orders constituting our backlog are subject to delivery rescheduling, price negotiations and cancellations by the customer, sometimes without penalty or notice. Therefore, our backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales for any particular period.

Employees

        At June 30, 2001, we had a total of 475 employees, of which 157 were employed by Nexus. Of our total employees, 12 were engaged in administration, 56 were managerial and supervisory employees, 199 were in sales and 208 performed warehouse, manufacturing and clerical functions. Of these employees, Nexus employed two in administration, 16 in management and supervisory positions, two in sales and 137 in warehouse, manufacturing and clerical functions. There are no collective bargaining contracts covering any of our employees. We believe our relationship with our employees is satisfactory.

Item 2. Properties.

        All of our facilities are leased except for the Brandon, Vermont property which is owned by Nexus. We currently lease 24 facilities strategically located throughout the United States, two of which are multipurpose facilities used principally as administrative, sales, and purchasing offices, as well as warehouses, one of which is used for contract manufacturing and the remainder of which are used principally by us as sales offices. Our satellite sales offices range in size from approximately 500 square feet to approximately 4,000 square feet. Base rents for such properties range from approximately $1,000 per month to approximately $9,800 per month. Depending on the terms of each particular lease, in addition to base rent, we may also be responsible for portions of real estate taxes, utilities and operating costs, or increases in such costs over certain base levels. The lease terms range from one year to as long as five years. All facilities are linked by computer terminals to our Hauppauge, New York headquarters. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our four principal leased facilities:

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2001 (“Fiscal 2001”) with Fiscal Year Ended June30,
2000 (“Fiscal 2000”)

        Net sales for Fiscal 2001 were $350.2 million, an increase of 67.3%, as compared to $209.3 million for Fiscal 2000. Our net sales benefited from both a strong demand for components throughout the electronics industry for the first six months and additional sales generated from the acquisition of Interface Electronics Corp.(Interface). Interface brought a new customer base as well as additional suppliers to sell to our existing customers. During the last two quarters of Fiscal 2001, the demand for components was greatly reduced. As a result, we experienced a decrease in sales sequentially. We believe net sales will continue to be impacted for the foreseeable future until such time that the excess inventory at our customers have been used.

        Gross Profit was $66.8 million in Fiscal 2001, an increase of $19.9 million, or 42.6%, compared to Fiscal 2000. Gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales were 19.1% during Fiscal 2001 compared to 22.4% during Fiscal 2000. The decrease in gross profit margins was as a result of the weakening in demand for electronic components toward the end of Fiscal 2001 and an increase in semiconductor sales due to the new suppliers that were added by the acquisition of Interface.

        Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $46.1 million in Fiscal 2001, an increase of $11.6 million, or 33.5%, compared to $34.5 million in Fiscal 2000. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased in Fiscal 2001 to 13.2% compared to 16.5% in Fiscal 2000. The increase in spending is attributable to higher staffing levels that was required to support the increase in net sales, an increase in variable costs such as commissions paid to sales personnel, and the additional costs associated with the acquisition of Interface. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects operating efficiencies realized by higher sales.

        Interest expense increased to $4.1 million in Fiscal 2001, as compared to $1.6 million in Fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to the additional borrowings needed for the acquisition of Interface, and capital required due to the increase in accounts receivable and inventory that were necessary to support the growth in sales.

        Net earnings for Fiscal 2001 were $9.9 million, or $1.59 per share diluted compared to net earnings for Fiscal 2000 of $6.4 million, or $1.11 per share diluted. The increase in net earnings was attributable to the increase in net sales, the operating efficiencies realized by the increase in net sales, and the successful integration of Interface during the fiscal year.

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2000 with Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1999 ("Fiscal 1999")

        Net sales for Fiscal 2000 were $209.3 million, an increase of $68.6 million, or 48.8%, as compared to $140.7 million reported for Fiscal 1999. Our net sales benefited from strong demand for components throughout the electronics industry. In addition, we have continued to experience strong demand for flat panels and flat panel monitors. We have also made significant investments in sales personnel and infrastructure, which has contributed to our sales growth. We continue to enhance our sales by providing value-added services related to assisting customers in procurement and inventory management.

        Gross profit was $46.9 million in Fiscal 2000, an increase of $19.5 million or 71.2%, compared to $27.4 million in Fiscal 1999. Gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales were 22.4% during Fiscal 2000 compared to 19.5% during Fiscal 1999. The strong demand for electronic components is primarily responsible for the increase in gross profit margins during Fiscal 2000.

        Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $34.5 million in Fiscal 2000, an increase of $6.9 million, or 24.9%, compared to $27.6 million in Fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased in Fiscal 2000 to 16.5% compared to 19.7% in Fiscal 1999. The increase in spending is primarily attributable to expenses necessary to support the growth in sales. These expenses include additional sales and marketing personnel, investments in our infrastructure, and the additional costs associated with the acquisition of substantially all the assets of PGI Industries Inc. ("PGI")and the acquisition of Interface. The decrease as a percentage of net sales reflects operating efficiencies realized by us with higher revenue levels.

        Operating profit (loss) for Fiscal 2000 was $12.4 million as compared to $(0.3) million for Fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, operating profit (loss) increased in Fiscal 2000 to 5.9% as compared to (0.2)% in Fiscal 1999.

        Interest expense increased to $1.6 million in Fiscal 2000, as compared to $1.3 million in Fiscal 1999. The 19.1% increase was primarily due to the additional net borrowings of approximately $15 million to acquire Interface during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2000. We will continue to see increased interest expense to the extent of higher borrowing levels.

        Net earnings for Fiscal 2000 were $6.4 million, or $1.11 per share diluted compared to a net loss for Fiscal 1999 of $1.2 million, or $.21 per share diluted. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. The increase in net earnings was attributable to the increase in net sales, the increase in gross profit margins, the reduction in SG&A expenses and the acquisition of Interface.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our agreement with our banks, as amended, which expires on September 14, 2002, provides us with a $80 million revolving line of credit facility through September 30, 2001, at which point it will revert back to $70 million. The credit facility is based principally on eligible accounts receivable and inventories as defined in the agreement. The interest rate of the credit facility was based on the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% through the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and since October 1, 2000, the rate converted to the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.0% to 2.25% depending on our performance for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters measured by a certain financial ratio, and is adjusted quarterly. The interest rate on the credit facility for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 was the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.5%. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit facility was $54,6 million at June 30, 2001. Borrowings under this facility are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The agreement contains provisions for maintenance of certain financial ratios, all of which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2001, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends.

        For Fiscal 2001, our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $8.8 million, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.0 million for Fiscal 2000. The increase in net cash used is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable during the fiscal year, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable for Fiscal 2001. Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $6.2 million for Fiscal 2001 as compared to $13.4 million for Fiscal 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the operating assets of PGI and the purchase of Interface during Fiscal 2000.

        Our cash expenditures may vary significantly from current levels, based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, future acquisitions, if any.

        For Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2000, our inventory turnover was 4.9x and 3.7x, respectively. The average days outstanding of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2001 was 42 days, as compared to 57 days at June 30, 2000.

        We believe that cash flow from operations and funds available under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

Inflation

        Inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations during the last three fiscal years.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        We are exposed to interest rate changes with respect to our credit facility which bears interest at the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or at our option, at a rate equal to the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.0% to 2.25% depending on our performance for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters measured by a certain financial ratio, and may be adjusted quarterly. At June 30, 2001, $54.6 million was outstanding under the credit facility. Changes in the LIBOR interest rate during Fiscal 2001 will have a positive or negative effect on our interest expense. Each 1.0% fluctuation in the LIBOR interest rate will increase or decrease interest expense for us by approximately $0.5 million based on outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2001.

        The impact of interest rate fluctuations on other floating rate debt is not material.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Jaco Electronics, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the distribution of semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, electromechanical devices, flat panel displays and monitors and power supplies, which are used in the manufacture and assembly of electronic products. In addition, the Company provides contract manufacturing services.

Electronics parts distribution sales include exports made principally to customers located in Western Europe, Canada, Mexico, and the Far East. For the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, export sales amounted to approximately $52,358,000, $8,170,000 and $4,810,000, respectively.

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

                          1.             Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jaco Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

                         2.             Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue as products are shipped and title passes to customers.

                         3.             Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable securities consist of investments in mutual funds. Such investments have been classified as "available-for-sale securities" and are reported at fair market value, which is inclusive of unrealized gains of $95,139 and $261,379 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effects.

                         4.             Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out and average cost methods.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

                         5.             Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.

The Company capitalizes costs incurred for internally developed software where economic and technological feasibility has been established. These capitalized software costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of seven years.

                           6.              Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of the aggregate price paid by the Company over the fair market value of the tangible assets acquired in business acquisitions accounted for as a purchase. Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets have been amortized on a straight-line basis from five to forty years.

The Company has reviewed long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles (including goodwill, property and equipment) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would have been recognized when estimated future discounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The Company has not identified such impairment losses.

On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS No. 141”), “Business Combinations,” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS No. 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. However, certain provisions of this statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS No. 142. The new standards require that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. In addition, all intangible assets acquired that are obtained through contractual or legal right, or are capable of being separately sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged shall be recognized as an asset apart from goodwill. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization, but will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test.

The Company has adopted, as of July 1, 2001, the provisions of SFAS Nos. 141 and 142. Therefore, annual and quarterly amortization of goodwill of approximately $1,120,000 and $280,000, respectively, will no longer be recognized. By December 31, 2001, the Company will have completed a transitional fair value-based impairment test of goodwill to determine if the fair value is less than the recorded value at July 1, 2001. Impairment losses, if any, resulting from the transitional testing will be recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2001 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

                           7.              Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards for which income tax expenses or benefits are expected to be realized in future years. A valuation allowance had been established to reduce deferred tax assets attributable to a subsidiary of the Company. During fiscal 2001, the Company utilized a significant portion of the net operating loss carryforwards and thus eliminated the valuation allowance.

Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
                           8.              Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings per share have been restated for all periods presented to give effect to a 3-for-2 stock split announced on June 26, 2000.

Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the Company's net earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options.

                           9.              Financial Instruments and Business Concentrations

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally mitigated due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base, their dispersion across geographic areas and industries, along with the Company's policy of maintaining credit insurance. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, historically, its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company recorded approximately $630,000 of additional bad debt expense, relating to the bankruptcy of a customer.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS No. 107"), "Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity's financial instrument assets and liabilities. The Company's principal financial instrument consists of a revolving credit facility, expiring on September 14, 2002, with two participating banks. The Company believes that the carrying amount of such debt approximates the fair value as the variable interest rate approximates the current prevailing interest rate.

The Company generally purchases products from manufacturers pursuant to nonexclusive distributor agreements. During the year ended June 30, 2001, products purchased from three suppliers accounted for 14%, 12% and 10%, respectively, of net sales. As is common in the electronics distribution industry, from time to time the Company has experienced terminations of relationships with suppliers. There can be no assurance that, in the event a supplier cancelled its distributor agreement with the Company, the Company will be able to replace the sales with sales of other products.

Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

                          10.             Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                          11.              Comprehensive Income

In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 established rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no impact on the Company's earnings or shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized holding gains or losses on debt and equity securities available for sale, which prior to adoption were only reported separately in shareholders' equity to be included in comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income.

                          12.              Segment Reporting

In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS No. 131), "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires that the Company disclose certain information about its operating segments defined as "components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance." Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

                          13.              Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $175,954, $109,308 and $250,198 for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

(a) Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit Facility

The Company’s agreement with its banks, as amended, provides the Company with a $80,000,000 revolving line of credit facility through September 30, 2001, at which point it will revert back to $70,000,000. The credit facility is based principally on eligible accounts receivable and inventories of the Company as defined in the agreement. The agreement was amended during fiscal 2001 to (i) increase the amount available under the revolving line of credit, and (ii) extend the maturity date to September 14, 2002. The interest rate is based on the average 30-day LIBOR plus 1% to 2-1/4% depending on the Company’s performance for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters measured by a certain financial ratio. The applicable interest rate may be adjusted quarterly and borrowings under this facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit facility was $54,556,622 at June 30, 2001, with an associated interest rate of 5.43%. The agreement contains provisions for maintenance of certain financial ratios, all of which the Company is in compliance with, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends.

All references to the number of weighted average common shares outstanding and earnings per share have been restated to reflect the 3-for-2 stock split.

In December 1992, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a nonqualified stock option plan, known as the “1993 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan,” hereinafter referred to as the “1993 Plan.” The Board of Directors or Plan Committee is responsible for the granting and pricing of these options. Such price shall be equal to the fair market value of the common stock subject to such option at the time of grant. The options expire five years from the date of grant and are exercisable over the period stated in each option. In December 1997, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the amount of shares reserved for the 1993 plan to 900,000 from 440,000, of which 676,223 are outstanding at June 30, 2001.

In October 1993, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a stock option plan for outside directors, known as the “1993 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors,” hereinafter referred to as the “Outside Directors Plan.” Each outside director who was serving as of December 31, 1993 was granted a nonqualified stock option to purchase 22,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. Each outside director who was serving on December 31 of each calendar year subsequent to 1993 was granted options to purchase 4,399 shares of the Company’s common stock annually. The Outside Directors Plan expired on January 1, 1998, with a total of 13,197 options outstanding at June 30, 2001. Granted options shall expire upon the earlier of five years after the date of grant or one year following the date on which the outside director ceases to serve in such capacity.

The weighted-average option fair value on the grant date was $4.82, $4.97 and $.92 for options issued during the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”; it applies APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for the Plan and does not recognize compensation expense for such Plan. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s reported net earnings and earnings per share would be reduced to the pro forma amount indicated below for the years ended June 30:

These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures because they do not take into account pro forma compensation expense related to grants made before fiscal 1996. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively; expected volatility of 93%, 109% and 55%; risk-free interest rates of 5.33%, 6.25% and 5.08%; and expected term of 3 years for all years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the use of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The Board of Directors of the Company had authorized the purchase of up to 375,000 shares of its common stock under a stock repurchase program. In fiscal 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchases were made by the Company from time to time on the open market at the Company’s discretion and were dependent on market conditions. The Company had made purchases of 618,300 shares of its common stock from July 31, 1996 through September 13, 2000 for aggregate consideration of $2,204,515. On September 14, 2000, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to terminate the stock repurchase program.

In June 1997, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of a restricted stock plan, which was subsequently ratified by shareholders during the Company’s December 1997 annual meeting. The plan enables the Board of Directors or Plan Committee to have sole discretion and authority to determine who may purchase restricted stock, the number of shares, the price to be paid and the restrictions placed upon the stock. Pursuant to this plan, the Company issued 135,000 shares of common stock to certain employees at a purchase price of $.67 per share. Shares purchased are subject to a four-year vesting period and the Company recognized $135,000 of compensation expense during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 in connection with this plan.

On June 6, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of Interface Electronics Corp. ("Interface"), a distributor of electronic parts, components and equipment, located in Massachusetts. The purchase price was $15,400,000 payable in cash, plus a deferred payment of $3,960,000, provided that certain conditions, as defined in the purchase agreement, were met. As of June 30, 2001, $3,760,000 of the deferred payment has been paid. The remaining $200,000 has been provided for in the accompanying balance sheet. An additional $25,000 has been provided for in the accompanying balance sheet due to a purchase price adjustment. On the second anniversary of the closing date a deferred payment of up to $2,640,000 shall be paid provided that certain conditions, as defined in the purchase agreement, are met. When the remaining contingency is resolved, the Company shall record the current fair value of the consideration paid as additional goodwill which will be amortized over the remaining life of the asset.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the operations of Interface have been included in the Company's Statement of Earnings since the date of acquisition.
