YOU SHOULD RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS. WE HAVE NOT, AND THE UNDERWRITERS HAVE NOT, AUTHORIZED ANY OTHER PERSON TO PROVIDE YOU WITH DIFFERENT INFORMATION. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL, NOR IS IT SEEKING AN OFFER TO BUY, THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED. i 5 PROSPECTUS SUMMARY The summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that you should consider before buying shares in this offering. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. 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: - telecommunications equipment - computers and office equipment - medical devices and instrumentation - industrial equipment and controls - military/aerospace systems - automotive and consumer electronics We have two distribution centers and 19 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 (box build) 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. According to IPC, an independent market research firm, the electronic components distribution industry has experienced significant growth during the past 12 months and continues to benefit from favorable supply/demand trends. Unit growth within the worldwide semiconductor industry has remained at or above 30% in each of the last six months. Strong demand for Internet infrastructure equipment, wireless communications, and digital consumer applications has caused unit demand to run well above the historical trend-line rate of 12% annual growth. In addition, lengthening lead times across an expanding range of semiconductor components is contributing to stable pricing. As a result, our industry continues to benefit from strong unit demand and stable pricing. 6 According to the most recent data available from the National Electronics Distributors' Association, an industry trade association, in 1998, the electronics distribution industry recorded approximately $30.1 billion in sales. Of these sales, approximately $20.8 billion consisted of sales of active components (semiconductors and computer products) and approximately $8.5 billion consisted of sales of passive components (capacitors, electromechanical devices and resistors). Active components and passive components each represents approximately 50% of our net distribution sales in each of our last three fiscal years. Our primary objective is to strengthen our position as a leading electronic components distributor in North America by capitalizing on (i) our recently expanded scope of operations through the acquisition of Interface Electronics Corp. (see "--Recent Developments"), and (ii) the expected continued growth in demand for electronic components. To achieve this objective, we will continue to employ the following strategies: ADD AND ENHANCE ALLIANCES WITH CORE VENDORS. We intend to continue to add new alliances and enhance existing alliances with leading electronic component product vendors. We believe that the combination of new vendors with our existing vendor lines, will lead to substantial marketing opportunities to our existing customer base and enhance our ability to develop new customer relationships. Additionally, we believe that a strategy focused on core vendors results in more effective marketing of those vendors' products through greater sales force expertise and strengthens our vendor relationships through increased purchases and sales. GAIN MARKET SHARE IN FLAT PANEL DISPLAYS. We intend to strengthen our position as a leading supplier of flat panel display ("FPD") products and related value-added services for the industrial market. Industrial FPD applications include cellular phones, personal digital assistants, electronic books, smart handhelds, Internet appliances, digital albums, games and home appliances. In 1999, the market for FPDs grew 67% to $18.5 billion. FPDs represent the fastest growing segment of electronic components and are projected to grow at an annual rate of 30% through 2005. Accordingly, we intend to aggressively target this market using our expanded operations and dedicated sales force. EMPHASIZE OUR INDUSTRY LEADING PASSIVE COMPONENTS LINE. We believe that we offer a premier line of passive components and we intend to continue to aggressively promote our selection of passive components to obtain new customers and further penetrate our existing customer base. Additionally, we believe the increasing use of sophisticated electronics and the growing demand for miniaturization, portability and increased functionality will drive demand for passive components. FOCUS ON THE FAST GROWING MID-TIER ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURERS. We intend to target medium-sized, growth-oriented OEMs and contract manufacturers that have traditionally received less attention from the largest distributors. We believe this strategy enables us to gain market positions with customers in fast growing segments of the electronic components industry, such as data storage and telecommunications. 2 7 GROW THROUGH STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. We intend to grow through strategic acquisitions in order to (i) obtain new vendor lines, (ii) expand our customer base and increase our cross-selling opportunities, (iii) expand our geographic presence, and (iv) increase economies of scale. The electronic components distribution industry continues to consolidate on a global basis driven by efficiency gains derived primarily through economies of scale. This trend has made growth through internal sources or by acquisitions imperative to maintaining competitiveness. We generally seek acquisition candidates that have strong, entrepreneurial management teams and leading vendor lines. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In June 2000, we acquired Interface Electronics Corp. 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 next two years if certain "minimum sales" levels are achieved. 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. The Interface transaction affords us the opportunity to leverage a national sales presence with our warehouses, thereby providing timely and efficient product distribution to our customers located anywhere in the United States. In February 2000, we acquired the operating assets of PGI Industries, Inc., an exporter of electronic components for approximately $1.2 million in cash. CORPORATE INFORMATION We were 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. 3 8 THE OFFERING Common Stock offered by Jaco 1,600,000 shares Common Stock outstanding after the offering 7,233,959 shares* Use of Proceeds We expect to use the proceeds to reduce our outstanding bank indebtedness (approximately $39.9 million as of June 30, 2000).

Accordingly, our results of operations include the results of Interface from the date of the acquisition. See the Pro Forma information included elsewhere in this prospectus. (2) Adjusted to give effect to a 3-for-2 stock split which was effective on July 24, 2000. (3) The information under "As Adjusted" in the balance sheet data reflects the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of 1,600,000 shares of common stock by us in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $______ per share and after the application of the net proceeds used to repay a portion of our outstanding bank indebtedness. 5 10 RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing Jaco. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following actually occur, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS. IF ONE OR MORE OF OUR LARGEST SUPPLIERS CHOOSES NOT TO SELL PRODUCTS TO US, OUR OPERATING RESULTS COULD SUFFER. We rely on a limited number of suppliers for products which generate a significant portion of our sales. Substantially all of our inventory has and will be purchased from suppliers with which we have entered into non-exclusive distributor agreements which are typically cancelable on short notice. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, products purchased from our four largest suppliers accounted for approximately 51% of our sales. No other supplier accounted for more than five percent of our sales. While we do not believe that the loss of any one supplier would have a material adverse effect upon us since most products sold by us are available from multiple sources, our future success will depend in large part on maintaining relationships with existing suppliers and developing relationships with new ones. The loss of, or significant disruptions in, relationships with major suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, since there can be no assurance that we will be able to replace lost suppliers. WE DO NOT HAVE LONG-TERM CONTRACTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND, AS A RESULT, OUR CUSTOMERS MAY BE ABLE TO CANCEL, REDUCE OR DELAY THEIR ORDERS WITHOUT PENALTY. We typically do not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments but instead work with our customers to develop nonbinding forecasts of the future volume of orders. Based on such nonbinding forecasts, we make commitments regarding the level of business that we will seek and accept, and the levels and utilization of personnel and other resources. A variety of conditions, both specific to each individual customer and generally affecting each customer's industry, may cause our customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were either previously made or anticipated. Generally, our customers may cancel, reduce or delay purchase orders and commitments without penalty, except for in certain circumstances, charges associated with such cancellation, reduction or delay. Significant or numerous cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by customers, or any inability by customers to pay for our products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. 6 11 WE ARE DEPENDENT ON FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS AND SUBJECT TO TRADE REGULATIONS WHICH EXPOSE US TO POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISK. A significant number of components sold by us are manufactured by foreign manufacturers. As a result, our ability to sell certain products at competitive prices, could be adversely affected by the following: - increases in tariffs or duties; - changes in trade treaties; - strikes or delays in air or sea transportation; and - future United States legislation with respect to pricing and/or import quotas on products imported from foreign countries. Our ability to be competitive with respect to sales of imported components could also be affected by other governmental actions and policy changes relating to, among other things, anti-dumping and other international antitrust legislation and adverse currency fluctuations which could have the effect of making components manufactured abroad more expensive. Because we purchase products from United States subsidiaries or affiliates of foreign manufacturers, our purchases are paid for in U.S. dollars, which usually reduces or eliminates the potential adverse effects of currency fluctuations. While we believe that the factors involving foreign components supply have not adversely impacted our business in the past, there can be no assurance that such factors will not materially adversely affect our business in the future. OUR INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO SUPPLY SHORTAGES. ANY DELAY OR INABILITY TO OBTAIN COMPONENTS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS. At various times there have been shortages of components in the electronics industry, and certain components, including certain semiconductor devices and capacitors, have been subject to limited allocation by some of our suppliers. Although such shortages and allocations have not had a material adverse effect on our operating results, there can be no assurance that any future shortages or allocations would not have such an effect on us. OUR INDUSTRY IS CYCLICAL, WHICH CAUSES OUR OPERATING RESULTS TO FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY. In the Fall of 1999, our industry emerged from a four-year period of reduced demand and increased supply. We cannot predict when the next cycle will begin, or the severity of the downturn. The electronic components distribution industry has historically been affected by general economic downturns, which have often had an adverse economic effect upon manufacturers, end-users of electronic components and electronic components distributors such as Jaco. In addition, the life-cycle of existing electronic products and timing of new product development and introduction can affect demand for electronic components. These market changes have caused in the past, and will likely cause in the future, our operating results to fluctuate. 7 12 THE PRICES OF OUR COMPONENTS ARE SUBJECT TO VOLATILITY. We sell a significant amount of products that have historically experienced volatile pricing. These products include dynamic random access memory ("RAM"), static RAMs and liquid crystal displays ("LCDs"). If market pricing for these products decreases significantly, we may experience periods when our investment in inventory exceeds the market price of such products. These market conditions could have a negative impact on sales and gross profit margins unless and until our suppliers reduce the cost of these products. SALES TO A GROUP OF CUSTOMERS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PERCENT OF OUR SALES. THE LOSS OF THESE KEY CUSTOMERS COULD AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS. Sales by Interface to several contract manufacturers, which are directed by EMC Corporation, are expected to account for a significant percent of Jaco's net sales for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. If we were to lose this group of customers, or if they reduced their level of purchasing, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and our investment in Interface. In addition, the insolvency or other inability or unwillingness of these customers to pay for our products could have a material adverse effect on our business. OUR INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND COMPETITION COULD HARM OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND THEREBY REDUCE OUR MARKET SHARE. The electronic components distribution and the contract manufacturing industries are highly competitive. In the electronic components distribution industry, we generally compete with local, regional and national distributors and electronic components manufacturers, including some of our own suppliers. In the area of contract manufacturing, we compete against numerous domestic and offshore manufacturers, as well as the in-house manufacturing capabilities of our existing and potential customers. Many of such competitors have greater name recognition and financial and other resources than we do. Moreover, the electronic components distribution industry is going through a period of rapid consolidation that is intensifying competition. There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete successfully with existing or new competitors and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE AND SUSTAIN FUTURE GROWTH. Recently, we have experienced growth from increased sales and from acquisitions. We will need to manage our expanding operations effectively, maintain or accelerate our growth as planned and integrate any new businesses which we may acquire into our operations successfully in order to continue our desired growth. If we are unable to do so, particularly in instances in which we have made significant investments, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We may be unsuccessful in sustaining continued growth if we are unable to: - secure adequate supplies of competitive products on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms; - turn our inventories and collect our accounts receivable in a timely manner; 8 13 - maintain our existing key vendor relationships as well as develop new relationships with leading suppliers of electronic components; - hire and retain additional qualified management, marketing and other personnel to successfully manage our growth, including personnel to monitor our operations, control costs and maintain effective management, inventory and credit controls; and - invest to maintain and enhance our information systems in order to maintain our competitiveness and to develop new logistics services. OUR ACQUISITIONS COULD BE DIFFICULT TO INTEGRATE, DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS AND AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS. Our growth strategy depends, in part, on our ability to identify and acquire compatible electronic components distributors and to integrate the acquired operations. A portion of our sales growth during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 resulted from the acquisition of the operating assets of PGI Industries, an exporter of electronic components, and the acquisition of the capital stock of Interface, a distributor of electronic components, primarily servicing the Northeast and Southeast. See Note J of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to locate additional appropriate acquisition candidates, that, if identified, any of such candidates will be acquired or that the operations of acquired candidates will be effectively integrated or prove profitable. The completion of future acquisitions requires the expenditure of sizable amounts of capital and management effort. Moreover, unexpected problems encountered in connection with our acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on us. We could be forced to alter our strategy in the future if suitable acquisition candidates are not available. WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUED SERVICES OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW OUR BUSINESS. We are highly dependent upon the services of Joel H. Girsky, our Chairman, President and Treasurer. The permanent loss for any reason of Joel Girsky, or one or more of our other key executives, could have a material adverse effect upon our operating results. While we believe that we would be able to locate suitable replacements for our executives if their services were lost, there can be no assurance that we would, in fact, be able to do so. Our future success will also depend, in part, upon our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER US AND MAY APPROVE OR REJECT MATTERS CONTRARY TO YOUR VOTE. Upon completion of the offering, Messrs. Joel H. Girsky and Charles B. Girsky will beneficially own an aggregate of 1,090,357 shares of common stock, representing approximately 15.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock, assuming that they do not sell any of their shares of common stock in the offering. In the event of the exercise of all of their outstanding stock options, after completion of the offering the Girskys would beneficially own an aggregate of 1,525,955 shares of common stock, representing approximately 20.4% of the outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of such stock ownership and their positions as executive officers and 9 14 as two of the six directors of Jaco, they are and will continue to be in a position to control the day-to-day affairs of Jaco. WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED SHARES TO RAISE EQUITY CAPITAL FOR GENERAL CORPORATE PURPOSES AND FOR FUTURE ACQUISITIONS. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 10 million shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of preferred stock. After this offering and giving effect to the issuance of 790,420 shares of common stock covered by outstanding options, only approximately 1,042,321 authorized shares of common stock would remain unissued. We intend to seek approval from our shareholders to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued to 20 million at our 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. If our shareholders approve the increase in the number of authorized shares, shares may be issued to raise equity capital, in connection with acquisitions, or for anti-takeover or other purposes without further shareholder approval unless required by applicable law, which could result in dilution to current shareholders. If our shareholders do not approve an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock, our continued growth could be materially limited by our inability to raise additional equity capital when needed or to issue shares of common stock in connection with future acquisitions or for other corporate purposes. Any preferred stock can be issued with such rights, preferences and limitations as may be determined by the Board. Any such issuances of common or preferred stock may result in a reduction in the book value and/or market price of the outstanding shares and may reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of each then existing shareholder. Further, any new issuances of securities could be used for anti-takeover purposes or to effect or avoid a change of control of Jaco. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS. As a New York corporation, we are subject to the New York Business Corporation Law. The New York Business Corporation Law imposes restrictions on the ability of a third party to effect a change in control of Jaco. Pursuant to Section 912 of the New York Business Corporation Law, except under certain circumstances, we may not engage in a business transaction with any holder of 20% or more of our voting stock, unless our Board of Directors approves the transaction. This may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of Jaco. 10 15 RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING OUR STOCK PRICE IS HIGHLY VOLATILE. The market price for our common stock has been highly volatile and is likely to continue to fluctuate as the market prices of securities of electronic components distribution companies have been highly volatile. You may not be able to resell your shares of common stock at or above your purchase price. Our stock price is affected, among other things, by the following factors, many of which are outside of our control: - actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; - changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; - conditions or trends in the electronic components distribution industry; - changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other electronic components distribution companies; - announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments; - additions or departures of key personnel; and - issuance of additional shares of our common stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against a company following periods of volatility in its stock price. If we were sued in this type of litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our management's attention and resources could be diverted from our operations.

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry's current results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. These factors include, among others, those listed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. 11 16 USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to be paid to us from the sale of the 1,600,000 shares of common stock offered by us in this prospectus are estimated to be approximately $[________] million, based on an assumed public offering price of $[__________] per share and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses that we must pay. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of common stock by the selling shareholders. See "Underwriting." We intend to use the net proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance of our bank indebtedness (approximately $39.9 million as of June 30, 2000) under our credit facility with GMAC Commercial Credit LLC and Fleet Bank, N.A. The maximum amount available under the credit facility is $50 million. Our borrowings under the credit facility have been used for working capital and to effect acquisitions. As of June 30, 2000, approximately $10.1 million remained available to us under the credit facility. All of the amounts under the credit facility are due in September 2001 unless the credit facility is extended. The credit facility 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 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. The rate charged at June 30, 2000 was 8.4%. As a result of the repayment of the credit facility, we will be able to borrow additional amounts that may be drawn down in the future. The additional funds may be used for working capital or potential acquisitions of other electronic components distributors which might be acquired for geographic, consolidation or franchise expansion reasons, or of other electronics manufacturing services/contract manufacturers. We have no current plans, arrangements, or understandings, written or oral, with respect to any such acquisition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources." DIVIDEND POLICY We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We intend for the foreseeable future to retain future earnings for use in our business. The amount of dividends we pay in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results and other factors as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, deems relevant. In addition, our credit facility prohibits us from paying cash dividends on our common stock. 12 17 CAPITALIZATION (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA) The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2000 on an actual and as adjusted basis. The "Actual" column reflects our capitalization as of June 30, 2000 on an historical basis, without any adjustments to reflect subsequent events or anticipated events. The "As Adjusted" column reflects our capitalization as of June 30, 2000 as adjusted to give effect to this offering and the application of net proceeds to reduce debt. The following share data is based upon the number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2000 adjusted to give effect to a 3-for-2 stock split which was effective on July 24, 2000. It excludes, as of June 30, 2000, 790,420 shares of common stock subject to outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $3.74 per share and 321,554 shares of common stock available for future grant under our stock option plan and our stock purchase plan.

16 21 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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. We have two distribution centers and 19 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, Vishay and Samsung, 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, integrating and assembling various custom components with FPDs to customer specifications (box build), assembling stock items for customers into pre-packaged kits 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. We generate revenues primarily from the resale of electronic components. Sales from our distribution business are recognized when we ship products to our customers. In addition, we perform contract manufacturing services for several industrial OEM customers. Sales from our contract manufacturing business are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers and may vary depending on the time of customers' orders, product mix and availability of component parts. Substantially all of our contract manufacturing business is performed on a turnkey basis, which involves the procurement of component parts. The gross profit margin for such materials is generally lower than the gross profit associated with the manufacturing process and other value-added services. We do not typically enter into long-term purchase orders or commitments from our customers. Instead we work with our customers to develop forecasts for future orders which are not binding. Customers may cancel their orders, change their orders, change production quantities from forecasted volumes or delay production for a number of reasons beyond our control. Cancellations, reductions or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers could have an adverse effect on us. In addition, as many of our costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand can adversely affect our gross margins and operating income. 17 22 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain items in our statement of operations as a percentage of net sales for the periods shown:
FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, ----------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Net sales .................................. 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of goods sold ......................... 77.6 80.5 79.3 ----- ----- ----- Gross profit ............................... 22.4 19.5 20.7 Selling, general and administrative expenses 16.5 19.7 18.7 ----- ----- ----- Operating profit (loss) .................... 5.9 (0.2) 2.0 Interest expense ........................... 0.8 0.9 0.7 ----- ----- ----- Earnings (loss) before income taxes ........ 5.1 (1.1) 1.3 Income tax provision (benefit) ............. 2.1 (0.3) 0.5 ----- ----- ----- Net earnings (loss) ........................ 3.0% (0.8)% 0.8% ===== ===== =====
COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 ("FISCAL 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 benefitted 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 PGI and Interface. 18 23 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 the 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. COMPARISON OF FISCAL 1999 WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 ("FISCAL 1998") Net sales for Fiscal 1999 were $140.7 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 8.4%, as compared to $153.7 million reported for Fiscal 1998. Our net sales were impacted throughout the fiscal year by continued industry wide pricing pressures, compounded by weak demand for components which had impacted the electronic components industry for over three years. Toward the end of Fiscal 1999, we experienced an increase in activity in many product sectors. Gross profit was $27.4 million in Fiscal 1999, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 14.1%, compared to $31.9 million in Fiscal 1998. Gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales were 19.5% in Fiscal 1999 compared to 20.7% in Fiscal 1998. The decrease was attributable to industry wide pressures and a shift in product mix toward a greater amount of active components, including flat panel devices, which historically, have a lower gross profit margin compared to passive components. SG&A expenses were $27.6 million in Fiscal 1999, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 3.7%, compared to $28.7 million in Fiscal 1998. Due to the weakness in the electronic components distribution industry during Fiscal 1999, we had implemented cost containment measures. Additionally, SG&A expenses decreased due to a reduction in variable costs such as commissions paid to sales personnel. The decreases were partially offset by a bad debt of approximately $630,000 during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999 and additional staffing of sales and marketing personnel toward the end of Fiscal 1999 in anticipation of an improvement in demand for electronic components. 19 24 Operating profit (loss) for Fiscal 1999 was $(0.3) million as compared to $3.1 million for Fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net sales, operating profit (loss) decreased in Fiscal 1999 to (0.2)% as compared to 2.0% in Fiscal 1998. Interest expense increased to approximately $1.3 million in Fiscal 1999, as compared to $1.1 million in Fiscal 1998. The 14.8% increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to increased net borrowings due to our purchases of common stock under our stock repurchase program, fixed asset additions primarily for contract manufacturing, operational expenditures made to upgrade our core financial and reporting software, and an increase in borrowing rates. Net loss for Fiscal 1999 was $(1.2) million, or $(.21) per share diluted, as compared to net earnings for Fiscal 1998 of $1.2 million, or $.20 per share diluted. During Fiscal 1999, the decrease in net earnings was primarily attributable to the decrease in net sales and decrease in gross profit dollars attributable to overall industry weakness as it related to electronic components. QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following tables present unaudited quarterly results of operations for the eight quarters ended June 30, 2000. We believe that all necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included in the amounts stated below to present fairly such quarterly information. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for a subsequent period.

------------ (1) As adjusted to reflect a 3-for-2 stock split effective on July 24, 2000. 20 25 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our agreement with our banks, as amended, which expires on September 13, 2001, provides us with a $50 million term loan and revolving line of credit facility based principally on eligible accounts receivable and inventories as defined in the agreement. The interest rate of the credit facility is based on the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% through the quarter ending September 30, 2000. At such time, the rate converts 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. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit facility was $39.9 million at June 30, 2000. 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, 2000, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends. For Fiscal 2000, our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $7.0 million, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million for Fiscal 1999. The increase in net cash used is primarily attributable to an increase in inventory and accounts receivable as a result of the increase in net sales during the fiscal year, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and net earnings for Fiscal 2000. Net cash used in investing activities increased to $13.4 million for Fiscal 2000 as compared to $1.6 million for Fiscal 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the operating assets of PGI and the purchase of Interface, representing a net cash outlay of $14.9 million. 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 2000 and Fiscal 1999, our inventory turnover was 3.7x and 3.3x, respectively. The average days outstanding of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2000 was 57 days, as compared to 59 days at June 30, 1999. 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. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE 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, 2000, $39.9 million was outstanding under the credit facility. Changes in the LIBOR interest rate during Fiscal 2000 will have a positive or negative effect on our 21 26 interest expense. Each 1.0% fluctuation in the LIBOR interest rate will increase or decrease interest expense for us by approximately $0.4 million based on outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2000. The impact of interest rate fluctuations on other floating rate debt is not material. 22 27 BUSINESS 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: - telecommunications equipment - computers and office equipment - medical devices and instrumentation - industrial equipment and controls - military/aerospace systems - automotive and consumer electronics We have two distribution centers and 19 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, Vishay and Samsung, 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 (box build) 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. OUR INDUSTRY The electronic components distribution industry has become an increasingly important sales channel for component manufacturers. 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. According to the most recent data available from the National Electronics Distributors' Association, an industry trade association, in 1998, the electronics distribution industry recorded approximately $30.1 billion in sales. Of these sales, approximately $20.8 billion consisted of sales of active components (semiconductors and computer products) and approximately $8.5 billion consisted of sales of passive components (capacitors, electromechanical devices and resistors). 23 28 Active components and passive components each represented approximately 50% of our net distribution sales in each of our last three fiscal years. OUR STRATEGY Our primary objective is to strengthen our position as a leading electronic components distributor in North America by capitalizing on (i) our recently expanded scope of operations through the acquisition of Interface, and (ii) the expected continued growth in demand for electronic components. To achieve this objective, we will continue to employ the following strategies: ADD AND ENHANCE ALLIANCES WITH CORE VENDORS. We intend to continue to add new alliances and enhance existing alliances with leading electronic component product vendors. We believe that the combination of new vendors with our existing vendor lines, will lead to substantial marketing opportunities to our existing customer base and enhance our ability to develop new customer relationships. Additionally, we believe that a strategy focused on core vendors results in more effective marketing of those vendors' products through greater sales force expertise and strengthens our vendor relationships through increased purchases and sales. GAIN MARKET SHARE IN FLAT PANEL DISPLAYS. We intend to strengthen our position as a leading supplier of FPD products and related value-added services for the industrial market. Industrial FPD applications include cellular phones, personal digital assistants, electronic books, smart handhelds, Internet appliances, digital albums, games and home appliances. In 1999, the market for FPDs grew 67% to $18.5 billion. FPDs represent the fastest growing segment of electronic components and are projected to grow at an annual rate of 30% through 2005. Accordingly, we intend to aggressively target this market using our expanded operations and dedicated sales force. EMPHASIZE OUR INDUSTRY LEADING PASSIVE COMPONENTS LINE. We believe that we offer a premier line of passive components and we intend to continue to aggressively promote our selection of passive components to obtain new customers and further penetrate our existing customer base. Additionally, we believe the increasing use of sophisticated electronics and the growing demand for miniaturization, portability and increased functionality will drive demand for passive components. FOCUS ON THE FAST GROWING MID-TIER ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURERS. We intend to target medium-sized, growth-oriented OEMs and contract manufacturers that have traditionally received less attention from the largest distributors. We believe this strategy enables us to gain market positions with customers in fast growing segments of the electronic components industry, such as data storage and telecommunications. GROW THROUGH STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. We intend to grow through strategic acquisitions in order to (i) obtain new vendor lines, (ii) expand our customer base and increase our cross-selling opportunities, (iii) expand our geographic presence, and (iv) increase economies of scale. The electronic components distribution industry continues to consolidate on a global basis driven by efficiency gains derived primarily through economies of scale. This trend has made growth through internal sources or by acquisitions imperative to maintaining competitiveness. We generally seek 24 29 acquisition candidates that have strong, entrepreneurial management teams and leading vendor lines. 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. Active components and passive components each represented approximately 50% of our net distribution sales in each of our last three fiscal years. Active components include semiconductors and computer subsystems. Semiconductors consist of such items as integrated circuits, microprocessors, transistors, diodes, dynamic RAMs, 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 disk drives, tape drives, 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 box build and contract manufacturing, to generate revenues from new customers. Value-added services include: - 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. - 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. - Box Build. We assemble various custom components with flat panel displays to a customer's specifications in order to provide an assembled product. - 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). 25 30 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 five percent of net sales in each of Fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998. 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 the 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 19 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 are increasingly relying 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, International Resistive Company, Inc., Johanson Dielectrics, Inc., Kemet Electronics Corporation, Rohm Electronics U.S.A., LLC, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., TDK Corporation of America, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and ZeTeX, 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. 26 31 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 the distributor for any inventory in the distributor's 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 3.7 times for Fiscal 2000. 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 that recently commenced operations. Nexus provides turnkey 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 27 32 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, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales for any particular period. EMPLOYEES At June 30, 2000, we had a total of 471 employees, of which 143 were employed by Nexus. Of our total employees, twelve were engaged in administration, 55 were managerial and supervisory employees, 194 were in sales and 210 performed warehouse, manufacturing and clerical functions. Of these employees, Nexus employed two in administration, 17 in management and supervisory positions, one in sales and 123 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. 28 33 PROPERTIES All of our facilities are leased except for the Brandon, Vermont property which is owned by Nexus. We currently lease 22 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 exclusively by us as sales offices. All facilities are linked by computer terminals to our Hauppauge, New York headquarters. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our five principal leased facilities:

------ (1) Leased from a partnership owned by Joel H. Girsky and Charles B. Girsky at a current monthly rent which the Company believes represents the fair market value for such space. We sublease a portion of this space to an unaffiliated third party. Nexus owns and occupies an approximately 32,000 square foot facility located in Brandon, Vermont, that is used for manufacturing, storage and office space. We believe that our present facilities will be adequate to meet our needs for the foreseeable future. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are a party to legal matters arising in the general conduct of business. The ultimate outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. 29 34 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The following are our directors and executive officers:

--------------- (1) The costs of certain benefits are not included because they did not exceed, in the case of each named executive officer, the lesser of $50,000 or ten percent of the total annual salary and bonus reported in the above table. (2) On June 9, 1997, the Board of Directors awarded an aggregate of 97,500 shares of common stock under our Restricted Stock Plan to our executive officers as follows: 37,500 shares of common stock to Mr. Joel Girsky, 37,500 shares of common stock to Mr. Charles Girsky, 15,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Jeffrey Gash and 7,500 shares of common stock to Mr. Gary Giordano. These grants were subject to the approval of our shareholders, which approval was received on December 9, 1997. The awards vest in one-quarter increments annually. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2000, the following portions of the aforementioned awards were vested: 28,125 shares of common stock awarded to each of Mr. Joel Girsky and Mr. Charles Girsky, 11,250 shares of common stock awarded to Mr. Jeffrey Gash and 5,625 32 37 shares of common stock awarded to Mr. Gary Giordano. The value of the aggregate restricted stock holdings of these individuals at June 30, 2000 was as follows: $525,000 for Mr. Joel Girsky, $525,000 for Mr. Charles Girsky, $210,000 for Mr. Jeffrey Gash and $105,000 for Mr. Gary Giordano. These figures are based upon the fair market value per share of our common stock at June 30, 2000, minus the purchase price of such awards. The closing sale price for our common stock as of June 30, 2000 on the Nasdaq National Market was $14.67. (3) Adjusted to give effect to a 3-for-2 stock split which was effective on July 24, 2000. (4) Includes 401(k) matching contributions, premiums paid on group term life insurance and, in the case of Mr. Joel Girsky, the taxable portion of split dollar life insurance policies and deferred compensation accrued in connection with his employment agreement with us. 401(k) matching contributions for Fiscal 2000 for the Named Executives were as follows: Mr. Joel Girsky -- $1,125, Mr. Oliveri -- $0, Mr. Charles Girsky -- $3,786, Mr. Gash -- $4,431 and Mr. Giordano -- $1,665. Premiums paid on group term life insurance for Fiscal 2000 for the Named Executives were as follows: Mr. Joel Girsky -- $8,584, Mr. Oliveri -- $0, Mr. Charles Girsky -- $3,045, Mr. Gash -- $522 and Mr. Giordano -- $306. The taxable portion of split dollar life insurance policies for Mr. Joel Girsky was $7,000 for Fiscal 2000. $50,000 deferred compensation was accrued in Fiscal 2000 in connection with Mr. Joel Girsky's employment agreement with us. (5) Because we are using the proceeds from this offering to reduce debt and because this reduction in debt will reduce our interest expense and accordingly result in an increase in earnings before taxes, Mr. Joel Girsky and Mr. Charles Girsky may each receive a larger bonus than if the debt had remained outstanding. (6) Our employment agreements with Mr. Joel Girsky and Mr. Charles Girsky provide for the payment of bonuses based upon a percentage of our earnings before income taxes. Mr. Oliveri's employment agreement with Interface provides for the payment of bonuses based upon a percentage of the gross profits from certain customers of Interface.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS During Fiscal 2000, we incurred approximately $612,000 of rental expenses in connection with our main headquarters and centralized inventory distribution facility, located in Hauppauge, New York, which was paid to Bemar Realty Company, the owner of such premises. Bemar is a partnership consisting of Messrs. Joel Girsky and Charles Girsky, both of whom are officers, directors and principal shareholders. The lease on the property, which is net of all expenses, including taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and repairs was renewed on January 1, 1996 and expires on December 31, 2003. We believe the current rental rate is at its fair market value. Joseph F. Oliveri, our Vice Chairman of the Board and an Executive Vice President, has been a director of EMC Corporation, a public company, since March 1993. Mr. Oliveri was also the President and Chief Executive Officer of Interface from March 1983 until June 2000, when we acquired Interface. Interface sells components to contract manufacturers which incorporate such components into products sold to EMC. Mr. Oliveri was a 40% stockholder of Interface, and therefore, upon the acquisition of Interface, Mr. Oliveri received his proportionate share of the $15.4 million purchase price paid by Jaco at the closing and is entitled to receive his proportionate share of up to approximately $6.6 million of deferred payments. Joseph F. Hickey, Jr., a Director is also a managing director of Tucker Anthony Capital Markets. Tucker Anthony Capital Markets is an underwriter of this offering. See "Underwriting" for information relating to fees to be received by the underwriters in this offering. 36 41 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AUTHORIZED STOCK The following summarizes the terms of our common stock which you will receive in this offering.

UNDERWRITERS NUMBER OF SHARES ------------ ---------------- Tucker Anthony Incorporated.......................... Needham & Company, Inc............................... Total...................................... ================
The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to purchase the shares included in this offering are subject to approval of certain legal matters by counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares (other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below) if they purchase any of the shares. The underwriters, for whom Tucker Anthony Incorporated and Needham & Company, Inc. are acting as representatives, propose to offer some of the shares directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of [ ] per share on sales to certain other dealers. Our selling shareholders, Mr. Joel Girsky and Mr. Charles Girsky, have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of the prospectus, to purchase up to 240,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise such options solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments if any in connection with this offering. To the extent such option is exercised, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase a number of additional shares approximately proportionate to such underwriter's initial purchase commitment. We and our officers and directors and our selling shareholders have agreed that, for a period of 120 days from the date of this prospectus, we will not, without the prior written consent of Tucker Anthony Incorporated, dispose of or hedge any shares of common stock of Jaco or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.

In connection with the offering, Tucker Anthony Incorporated, on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales of common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of common stock made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while the offering is in progress. Any of these activities may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of such transactions. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. In addition, in connection with this offering, certain of the underwriters (and selling group members) may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, prior to the pricing and completion of the offering.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 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, 2000. 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, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP GRANT THORNTON LLP Melville, New York August 15, 2000 F-2 49 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS June 30,

F-7 54 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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, 2000, 1999 and 1998, export sales amounted to approximately $8,170,000, $4,810,000 and $4,537,000, 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 $261,379 and $335,455 in 2000 and 1999, 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. F-8 55 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 are amortized on a straight-line basis from five to forty years. The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles (including goodwill, property and equipment) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future 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. 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 has been established to reduce deferred tax assets attributable to a subsidiary of the Company, as it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. F-9 56 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 13, 2001, 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, 2000, purchases from three suppliers accounted for 18%, 15% 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. F-10 57 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 10. Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, 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. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130. 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 $109,308, $250,198 and $257,281 for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively.

(a) Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit Facility The Company's agreement with its banks, as amended, provides the Company with a $50,000,000 term loan and revolving line of credit facility based principally on eligible accounts receivable and inventories of the Company as defined in the agreement. The agreement was amended to (i) increase the amount available under the revolving line of credit (ii) extend the maturity date to September 13, 2001, (iii) change the interest rate to a rate based on the average 30-day LIBOR plus 1-3/4% through the quarter ending September 30, 2000 and at that point the rate converts to 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, and (iv) change the requirements of certain financial covenants. 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 $39,735,267 at June 30, 2000, with an associated interest rate of 8.40%. Pursuant to the same agreement, at June 30, 2000, a term loan with a remaining balance of $160,714 requires monthly principal payments of $17,857, together with interest through March 1, 2001. 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.

Other Matters The Company is a party to legal matters arising in the general conduct of business. The ultimate outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. NOTE H - RETIREMENT PLAN The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan that is available to all employees, to which the Company contributes up to a maximum of 1% of each employee's salary. For the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company contributed to this plan approximately $116,000, $96,000 and $132,000, respectively. F-20 67 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE I - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY On June 26, 2000, the Company announced a 3-for-2 stock split which was in the form of a 50% common stock dividend payable on July 24, 2000 to shareholders of record on July 10, 2000. 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 connection with the Company's 1995 public offering, the Company also issued stock warrants, to the representative underwriters, to purchase up to 105,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to 180% of the, $8.50 per share, public offering price, which expired on October 20, 1999. 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 739,723 are outstanding at June 30, 2000. 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, 2000. 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. In June 1997, the Company appointed an additional outside director to the Board of Directors who received 15,000 options to purchase the Company's common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. In September 1998, two outside directors were each granted 11,250 options to purchase the Company's common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. These 37,500 options were not granted pursuant to any of the Company's existing stock option plans.

F-22 69 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE I - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) The weighted-average option fair value on the grant date was $4.97, $.92 and $1.25 for options issued during the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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:
2000 1999 1998 ------------- ------------- ------------- Net earnings (loss) As reported $ 6,375,954 $ (1,157,150) $ 1,184,261 Pro forma 6,098,272 (1,523,550) 1,167,761 Net earnings (loss) per common share - basic As reported $ 1.16 $ (0.21) $ 0.21 Pro forma 1.11 (0.27) 0.20 Net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted As reported $ 1.11 $ (0.21) $ 0.20 Pro forma 1.06 (0.27) 0.20
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, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively; expected volatility of 109%, 55% and 35%; risk-free interest rates of 6.25%, 5.08% and 5.42%; 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. F-23 70 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE I - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED) The Board of Directors of the Company has 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 may be made by the Company from time to time on the open market at the Company's discretion and will be dependent on market conditions. To date, the Company has purchased 618,300 shares of its common stock for aggregate consideration of $2,204,515 under this 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 2000, 1999 and 1998 in connection with this plan. NOTE J - ACQUISITIONS 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 at the closing, (June 6, 2000), plus a deferred payment of up to $3,960,000, payable approximately one year from the anniversary of the closing. This payment will be made provided that certain conditions, as defined in the purchase agreement, are met. 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 this 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, June 6, 2000. Included in other assets are the costs of the identifiable intangible assets acquired, principally an employment F-24 71 Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 NOTE J - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) agreement and a franchise agreement which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five and fifteen years, respectively. The excess of the purchase price and related expenses over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired amounted to approximately $13,048,000 and is being amortized on a straight line basis over twenty years. A summary of the preliminary allocation of the assets and liabilities acquired follows: Operating assets acquired $ 13,736,139 Employment agreement 685,000 Franchise agreement 550,000 ------------ 14,971,139 Liabilities assumed (12,414,389) Estimated transaction costs (205,000) ------------ (12,619,389) Goodwill 13,048,250 ------------ Total purchase price $ 15,400,000 ============

See accompanying notes to condensed financial statements. F-32 79 INTERFACE ELECTRONICS CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION 1) On June 6, 2000, Jaco Electronics, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Interface Electronics Corp. ("Interface"). 2) The accompanying condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accrual adjustments, which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations at and for the periods presented. Such financial statements do not include all the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation. Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with Interface Electronics Corp.'s audited statements for the year ended December 31, 1999. 3) Prior to the acquisition, Interface, through its shareholders, had elected to be taxed as a Subchapter S Corporation as provided in Section 1362(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the corporate income is passed through to the shareholders and combined with their personal income and deductions to determine taxable income on their individual federal tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and for the period January 1, 2000 through June 6, 2000. As a result of the acquisition, Interface no longer qualifies as a Subchapter S Corporation and therefore, a provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements using a rate of 34% for the period June 7, 2000 through June 30, 2000. Prior to the acquisition, Interface was defined as a "Qualified S Corporation" for Massachusetts income tax purposes. Qualified S Corporations with annual gross receipts of $9,000,000 or more are subject to a four and one-half percent (4.5%) corporate level tax in addition to the income being included on the stockholders' individual tax returns. Accordingly, a rate of 4.5% was used to calculate a provision for state income taxes in the financial statements for the period January 1, 2000 through June 6, 2000. For the period June 7, 2000 through June 30, 2000 a rate of 7% was used to calculate a provision for state income taxes in the financial statements. 4) Interface had a line of credit with a bank, in which advances were limited to $10,000,000. Interest was payable monthly at the bank's prime rate for the prime margin portion of the line and the stated LIBOR rate for the LIBOR portion of the line of credit. On June 6, 2000, the outstanding balance on the bank line of credit of $3,330,866, including interest, was paid in full. The bank line of credit was subsequently cancelled. F-33 80 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Board of Directors INTERFACE ELECTRONICS CORP. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Interface Electronics Corp. as of December 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the year 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Interface Electronics Corp. as of December 31, 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP GRANT THORNTON LLP Melville, New York October 3, 2000 F-34 81 Interface Electronics Corp.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this statement. F-38 85 Interface Electronics Corp. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1999 NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interface Electronics Corp. ("the Company") was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in January 1983, to conduct business principally as a distributor of electronic parts, components and equipment. The Company currently has operations in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Alabama, Connecticut, and North Carolina. On June 6, 2000, Jaco Electronics, Inc. ("Jaco") purchased all of the outstanding common stock of the Company and, as a result, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaco. A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows: 1. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue as products are shipped and title passes to customers. 2. Inventories Inventories, consisting of merchandise held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. 3. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Assets Years ------ ----- Equipment 5 - 7 Furniture and fixtures 5 - 7 Software 3 - 5 Motor vehicles 5 - 7 Leasehold improvements 10 - 29
F-39 86 Interface Electronics Corp. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) December 31, 1999 NOTE A (CONTINUED) 4. Use of Estimates and Fair Value of Financial Instruments 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management of the Company believes that the fair value of financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and debt, approximates carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity associated with its cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable and the interest rates associated with its debt. 5. Statement of Cash Flows For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 6. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and aggregated $55,986 during the year ended December 31, 1999. 7. Income Taxes Income taxes on net earnings of the Company are obligations of the shareholders pursuant to a Federal Subchapter S election as provided in SEC 1362(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no Federal income taxes have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The Company is defined as a "Qualified S Corporation" for Massachusetts income tax purposes. Qualified S Corporations with annual gross receipts of $9,000,000 or more are subject to a four and one-half percent (4.5%) corporate level tax in addition to the income being included on the stockholders' individual income tax return. F-40 87 Interface Electronics Corp. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) December 31, 1999 NOTE A (CONTINUED) 8. Concentrations of Credit Risk In 1999, the Company had sales to three customers aggregating approximately 53% of the Company's net sales and accounts receivable to two customers aggregating 61% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 1999. During 1999, the Company purchased approximately 54% of its products from two suppliers. NOTE B - NOTES PAYABLE - LINE OF CREDIT The Company has an agreement with a financial institution, expiring May 31, 2001, which provides the Company with a line-of-credit facility of up to $10,000,000, limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible inventory, as defined. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at either the bank's specified prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1999) or LIBOR (8.22% at December 31, 1999). The outstanding balance against this line of credit was $3,305,547 at December 31, 1999. The line of credit contains certain financial covenants, as defined in the agreement. The Company is not in compliance with these covenants. Borrowings under this line are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. NOTE C - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 1. Leases The Company leases equipment and office facilities under operating leases expiring through May 2005.

2. Litigation Settlement The Company is a defendant in litigation related to a dispute about the purchase and subsequent return of nonconforming goods. Subsequent to year-end, a judgment was entered against the Company for $1,247,000, including interest. Pursuant to the judgment, the Plaintiff is required to return to the Company certain components. As a result of the above, the Company has recognized a provision for this loss amounting to $1,000,000 in the accompanying financial statements. NOTE D - RETIREMENT PLAN The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan ("the Plan") that is available to employees meeting certain requirements, as defined in the Plan.

See accompanying notes to financial statements and independent auditors' report. F-49 96 INTERFACE ELECTRONICS CORP. Notes To Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 1998 Note 1 - Nature of Business Interface Electronics Corp. was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in January, 1983 to conduct business principally as a distributor of electronic parts, components and equipment. Note 2 - Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted auditing principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 3 - Summary of Accounting Principles. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interface Electronics Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid, short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits the majority of its cash in one commercial bank. From time to time, cash balances in this account exceed federally-insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents. Merchandise Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined generally on the first-in, first-out method. Market value is determined by replacement cost or estimated net realizable value. F-50 97 INTERFACE ELECTRONICS CORP. Notes To Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 1998 Note 3 - continued. Property, Equipment and Depreciation Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major replacements of and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized. Minor renewals are charged against current operations. Depreciation is calculated primarily by the accelerated cost recovery methods at various rates based on the estimated useful lives of assets, substantially as follows:
Depreciation Lives Furniture 5 - 7 years Leasehold improvements 10 - 39 years
On disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the accounts and the gain or loss thereon is reflected in net income. Note 4 - Notes Payable - Milford National Bank and Trust Company At December 31, 1998, the Company is indebted to the Milford National Bank and Trust Company as follows: On a revolving line of credit in the principal amount of $700,000 which matured May, 1998. Interest is at a floating rate equal to 1% above the base lending rate of the bank. The loan is secured by all of the Company's assets. On June 12, 1998, the Company was indebted to the bank for $297,050 on a note calling for monthly payments of interest at 7.75% per annum. At December 31, 1998, the balance of this note was $82,050. Note 5 - Related Party Transactions. The Company leased its offices and warehouse in Massachusetts from a partnership, the partners of which are the stockholders of the Company, during the early part of 1998. The Company relocated its operations during 1998, leasing from unrelated parties. F-51 98 INTERFACE ELECTRONICS CORP.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 402 of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York (the "BCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors (or persons who have served, at the corporation's request, as officers or directors of another corporation) against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action by reason of being or having been directors or officers, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that if such action shall be in the right of the corporation, no such indemnification shall be provided as to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been judged to have been liable to the corporation unless and to the extent that the Supreme Court of the State of New York, or any other court in which the suit may be brought, shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter"), and our Restated By-Laws (the "By-Laws") provide for the elimination of the personal liability of a director to us and to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director. II-1 103 However, the Charter and By-Laws have not (and are not permitted by statute to have) eliminated the liability of a director for (i) any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the registrant and its stockholders; (ii) any acts or omissions not undertaken in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) any action under Section 719 of the BCL, including paying a dividend or approving an illegal dividend; or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Charter and By-Laws also provide that expenses incurred by an officer or director may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding by us upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the said amount advanced if a specific determination is made that the officer or director is not entitled to the indemnification. In addition, the By-Laws provide that we may maintain insurance to protect our self and our officers and directors against any liability, cost, payment or expense associated with such indemnification.

UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that: 1. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. 2. For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
