NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. (a) Financial Statements

In the opinion of International Electronics, Inc. (IEI), the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of May 31, 2003 and August 31, 2002 and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002.

Certain disclosures normally included have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although IEI believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in IEI’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2002.

(b) Stock-Based Compensation

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123 provides that companies may account for stock-based compensation either under the fair value-based method of accounting under SFAS No. 123 or use the intrinsic value-based method provided by Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. IEI uses the intrinsic value-based method of APB No. 25 to account for all of its employee stock-based compensation plans and uses the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 to account for all non-employee stock-based compensation. SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148 (Note 1(c)), requires companies using the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25 to make pro forma disclosure in the notes to the financial statements using the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123.

IEI has computed the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123 for stock options granted to employees using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an assumed risk-free interest rate of 3.0% in fiscal 2003 and 3.5% in fiscal 2002, volatility of 120% for both fiscal 2003 and 2002 and an expected life of 5 years, with the assumption that no dividends will be paid. Under APB No. 25, IEI has recognized no stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003 and 2002. Had compensation expense for IEI’s stock option plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because IEI’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input 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 IEI’s options.

(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS No. 146 includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain termination benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The implementation of this statement did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN No. 45). FIN No. 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The FIN No. 45 disclosure requirements are included in Note 7. The adoption of FIN No. 45 is not expected to have a material impact on IEI’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation. These alternative methods will only impact us if we voluntarily change to the fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation which we currently do not plan to implement. SFAS No. 148 also requires companies who account for employee stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value-based method to disclose additional footnote information in annual financial statements effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and in financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The requisite disclosure appears in Note 1(b) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, which establishes standards for how an issuer of financial instruments classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material impact on IEI’s financial position or results of operations.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IEI, its majority-owned subsidiary, Ecco Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, International Electronics Europe Limited. All material intercompany transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated.

3. Income Taxes

IEI provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.

4. Significant Estimates and Assumptions

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

5. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common and dilutive option and warrant shares outstanding based on the average market price of IEI’s common stock (under the treasury stock method).

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted-average number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

to the leased property. Such contingent rental obligations are recognized as incurred.

Employment Arrangements—IEI has a continuous, three-year employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer providing minimum annual aggregate compensation of approximately $175,000. This employment agreement contains certain termination provisions. In addition, IEI has employment arrangements with certain other key management that require salary and benefit continuation for one year (representing an aggregate of approximately $320,000 in salaries as of May 31, 2003) in the event of termination of such employment as a result of an acquisition, merger or sale of assets of IEI.

9. Long-term Obligations

Long-term obligations are summarized as follows:

	May 31, 2003			Aug. 31, 2002
Equipment line of credit, 4.25%-5.75% (Note 10)	$	462,237		$	605,115
Less current portion		(274,168	)		(301,214	)
	$	188,069		$	303,901

The aggregate principal payments on long-term obligations as of May 31, 2003, are: $274,168 (2004), $167,291 (2005) and $20,778 (2006).

10. Bank Arrangements

As of May 31, 2003, IEI has available an equipment line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $500,000 expiring February 29, 2004, and a demand bank line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $1,000,000. Both lines of credit are at the bank’s prime rate of interest (5.25% at May 31, 2003), and all of IEI’s assets are collateralized under these arrangements. The credit agreements contain certain restrictive covenants including covenants limiting the payment of dividends, a minimum debt-to-tangible net worth ratio, and bi-annual and annual net income. As of May 31, 2003, no borrowings have been made under the demand line of credit, and IEI has an aggregate of $462,237 outstanding as equipment debt, which is payable in monthly installments through February 2006 (Note 9).

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements. The following discussion contains forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the matters discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2002 describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, market trends, and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for allowance of doubtful accounts and sales returns, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns is based on our assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts, the aging of our accounts receivable and trends in product returns. While we believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, if there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness, actual defaults are higher than our previous experience, or actual future returns do not reflect historical trends, our estimates of the recoverability of the amounts due us and our sales could be adversely affected.

Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future demand forecasts. If there is a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products or there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory reserve and as a result, our gross profit margin could be adversely affected.

We accrue for warranty costs based on the historical rate of claims and costs to provide warranty services. While we believe the accrual for warranty costs is adequate to address known warranty issues, if we experience an increase in warranty claims that are higher than our historical experience or our costs to provide warranty services increase, we may be required to increase our warranty accrual and as a result, our gross profit margin could be adversely affected.

13

We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

Results of Operations

Three and nine months ended May 31, 2003 and 2002

Net Sales. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 ending May 31, 2003, decreased 21% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 decreased 14% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The decreases in net sales are primarily the result of a significant reduction in demand for our products. For the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, one customer contributed more than 10% of our net sales, representing 40% and 37% of total net sales, respectively.

Cost of Sales/Gross Profit. Our cost of sales consist primarily of purchased materials, manufacturing salaries and related personnel expenses, facility overhead and amounts paid to third-party manufacturers. The ratio of gross profit to net sales was 45% for the three months ended May 31, 2003, compared to 47% for the three months ended May 31, 2002. The ratio of gross profit to net sales was 44% for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, compared to 46% for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The decreases in the gross profit ratios are primarily due to a higher proportion of fixed costs resulting from the significant decline in net sales and product mix. We expect future gross profit as a percentage of net sales to remain consistent with its current level. Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales in a particular quarter is highly variable due to many factors such as sales volume. Gross profit may also be adversely affected by increases in manufacturing costs, excess and obsolete inventory, warranty costs, increased price competition, geographic mix, changes in sales channels and/or product mix.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, consulting fees, and prototype costs. Research and development expenses were $264,280 and $817,793 for the third quarter and nine months ended May 31, 2003, respectively, compared to $267,048 and $777,435 for the comparable periods of fiscal 2002. The increase in the expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, compared to the comparable period of 2002 was primarily due to additional prototype costs and consulting fees. We believe that research and development is critical to our strategic product development objectives and we intend to continue to enhance our products. Accordingly, we expect future research and development expenses to remain consistent in absolute dollars at its current level.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, commissions, travel and entertainment expenses, trade shows, advertising, telephone, bad debts and professional fees. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 35% for both the third quarter and nine months ended May

14

31, 2003, respectively, compared to 32% for both the third quarter and nine months ended May 31, 2002. The increases, as a percentage of net sales, are primarily the result of a significant decrease in sales volume. The decreases in absolute dollars for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, compared to the comparable periods of the prior year are primarily a result of a reduction in advertising, trade shows, commissions, and bonuses, partially offset by an increase in sales sample expense. We expect future selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars from its current level as we introduce new products to the market and expand our sales organization.

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists of interest incurred on equipment financing. Interest expense was $6,270 and $21,601 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, respectively, compared to $8,376 and $19,244 for the comparable periods of fiscal 2002. The increase for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, compared to the comparable period of 2002 is due to additional outstanding debt, partially offset by lower interest rates on equipment borrowings.

Other Income. Other income primarily consists of interest earned on our cash balances, and to a lesser extent, sundry other non-operating items. Other income was $5,134 and $21,787 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, respectively, compared to $8,258 and $25,452 for the comparable periods of fiscal 2002. The decreases are the result of a reduction in interest rates and funds invested.

Income Taxes. For the nine months ended May 31, 2003, IEI has recorded no current provision for income taxes due to our net loss and a $6,000 deferred tax benefit. For the nine months ended May 31, 2002, our effective income tax rate was 9% and differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of federal net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2003, IEI had $2,087,735 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $2,916,461 at August 31, 2002. As of May 31, 2003, IEI had $3,157,942 in working capital as compared to $3,258,965 at August 31, 2002. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities as of May 31, 2003 was 2.9 as compared to 2.8 at August 31, 2002. The debt to equity ratio was 0.5 at May 31, 2003 and 0.6 at August 31, 2002. The significant decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, purchases of capital equipment, and payment of debt obligations. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to IEI’s operating loss.

Net cash flows used in operating activities was $529,846 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, compared to net cash flows provided by operating activities of $1,123,301 for the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The decrease is primarily a reduction in IEI’s net income, a significant increase in accounts receivable, and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to a change in payment methodology by a major customer.

Net capital expenditures were $155,901 and $661,551 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in expenditures is primarily due to the higher levels of purchases for automated manufacturing equipment and related facility improvements during the first nine months of fiscal 2002. IEI anticipates having up to $300,000 in total capital expenditures during the next twelve months primarily for the purchase of facility improvements and production and engineering equipment. We

15

expect that a portion of our 2003 capital expenditures will be financed from our available equipment line of credit and the remainder from cash flow from operations.

As of May 31, 2003, IEI has $500,000 available under its equipment line of credit expiring February 29, 2004 and up to $1,000,000 available for a bank demand line of credit. See Notes 9 and 10 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of May 31, 2003, we had no outstanding borrowings under the demand line of credit and had approximately $462,000 in borrowings outstanding under equipment lines of credit.

Net cash flows used in financing activities was $142,878 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003, as compared with net cash flows provided by financing activities of $288,691 for the nine months ended May 31, 2002. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in new equipment borrowings incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to the prior year.

The following table summarizes our future contractual cash obligations as of May 31, 2003:

	2004		2005		2006		Total
Long-term obligations	$	274,168	$	167,291	$	20,778	$	462,237
Employment agreement		174,908		174,908		174,908		524,724
Operating lease obligations		133,082		—		—		133,082
	$	582,158	$	342,199	$	195,686	$	1,120,043

Management believes that its current cash position, together with internally generated funds at present sales levels and its available bank financing, will provide adequate cash reserves to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months. Although it is difficult to predict future liquidity requirements with certainty, the rate at which we will consume cash will be dependent on the cash needs of future operations which will, in turn, be directly affected by the levels of demand for our products, the timing and rate of expansion of our business, and the resources we devote to developing our products. Depending upon whether or not sufficient sales and working capital is generated from profitable operations, IEI may require additional external funding. There is no assurance that profits will be generated, or that additional external funding will be obtainable, if such a need should arise.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The scope of SFAS No. 146 includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain termination benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated. SFAS No. 146 is

16

effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The implementation of this statement did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN No. 45). FIN No. 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The FIN No. 45 disclosure requirements are included in Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The adoption of FIN No. 45 is not expected to have a material impact on IEI’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation. These alternative methods will only impact us if we voluntarily change to the fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation which we currently do not plan to implement. SFAS No. 148 also requires companies who account for employee stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value-based method to disclose additional footnote information in annual financial statements effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and in financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The requisite disclosure appears in Note 1(b) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, which establishes standards for how an issuer of financial instruments classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material impact on IEI’s financial position or results of operations.

Risk Factors

Information provided by IEI in writing and orally, from time to time may contain certain “forward-looking” information as this term is defined by: (1) the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and (2) in releases made by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risk factors are being described pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Act. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by IEI involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

We have identified certain risks and uncertainties as factors, which may impact on our operating results which are detailed below. All of these factors are difficult for us to forecast, and these or other factors can materially adversely affect our business and operating results for one quarter or a series of quarters.

Concentration of Customers. We have a substantial number of customers but sell a significant amount of our products to a small number of large customers. This concentration of customers may cause net sales and operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on major customers’ requirements and the timing of their orders and shipments. For the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, net sales to our largest customer accounted for approximately 40% and 35% of our total net sales, respectively. Our industry has recently experienced, and is currently experiencing, significant consolidation, which may further increase IEI’s concentration among its major customers. There can be no assurance that our major customers will place additional orders, or that we will obtain orders of similar magnitude from other customers. Our operating results could be materially and adversely affected if any present or future major customer were to choose to reduce its level of orders, were to experience financial, operational or other difficulties that resulted in such a reduction in orders to IEI or were to delay paying or fail to pay our receivables from such customer.

Reliance on Distribution Partners. We have historically sold the majority of our products through distribution. We believe that our future success is dependent upon retaining successful relationships with a variety of distribution partners. We have no long-term agreements with these partners and certain distribution partners also manufacture and sell products that compete with some of our products. We cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our current distribution partners or that these partners will devote adequate resources to selling our products. If we are unable to maintain our distribution partners or the partners do not devote adequate resources to the sale of our products, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

General Economic Conditions. Our business is subject to the effects of general economic conditions in the United States and globally. If the economic conditions in the United States and globally do not improve, or if we experience a worsening in the global economic slowdown, we may experience adverse impacts on our business, operating results and financial condition.

18

Limited Financial Resources. We have limited financial resources. We are therefore subject to all the risks generally associated with a small business having limited financial resources. For the nine months ended May 31, 2003, we incurred a net loss of approximately ($77,000), and for the years ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, we had net income of approximately $701,000 and $136,000, respectively. There can be no assurance that IEI will return to profitability. Continued operations after the expenditure of our existing cash reserves may require additional working capital to be generated by profitable operations or use of our bank lines of credit and/or additional financing. There can be no assurance that profits will be generated or that additional external funding will be obtainable, if such a need should arise.

Dependence on Key Employees. The business of IEI is dependent upon the efforts of John Waldstein and certain other key management and technical employees. The loss or prolonged disability of such personnel could have a significant adverse effect on our business. We presently maintain a key man life insurance policy of $1,000,000 on John Waldstein, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

Lack of New Product Development. We are engaged in an industry, which, as a result of extensive research and development, introduces new products on a regular basis. Current competitors or new market entrants may develop new products with features that could adversely affect the competitive position of our products. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in selecting, developing, manufacturing and marketing new products or enhancing our existing products or that we will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or product introductions by competitors. Any failure or delay in these goals could have a material adverse affect on IEI.

Fluctuations in Sales and Operating Results. Operating results may fluctuate due to factors such as the timing of new product announcements and introductions by IEI, our major customers and our competitors, market acceptance of new or enhanced versions of our products, changes in the product mix of sales, changes in the relative proportions of sales among distribution channels or among customers within each distribution channel, changes in manufacturing costs, competitive pricing pressures, the gain or loss of significant customers, increased research and development expenses associated with new product introductions and general economic conditions. A limited number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of sales in any particular quarter. In addition, we typically operate with a relatively small backlog. As a result, quarterly sales and operating results generally depend on the volume, timing of, and ability to fulfill orders received within the quarter which are difficult to forecast. In this regard, we may recognize a substantial portion of our sales in a given quarter from sales booked and shipped in the last weeks of that quarter. A delay in customer orders, resulting in a shift of product shipment from one quarter to another, could have a significant effect on our operating results in a quarter. In addition, competitive pressure on pricing in a given quarter could adversely affect our operating results, or such price pressure over an extended period could adversely affect our long-term profitability.

We establish our expenditure levels for sales and marketing and other expenses based, in large part, on our expected future results. As a result, if sales fall below

19

expectations, there would likely be a material adverse effect on operating results because only a small portion of our expenses vary with its sales in the short-term.

Competition. Other companies in the industry offer products in competition with those of IEI. Many of the companies with which we compete are substantially larger, have greater resources and market a larger line of products. We expect competition to increase significantly in the future from existing competitors and new companies that may enter IEI’s existing or future markets. We compete with a number of large multinational companies including: Assa Abloy, Bosch, General Electric, Honeywell International, Ingersoll Rand, Kaba and Tyco, some of whom have recently expanded their position in the marketplace by acquiring companies that design competing products. We also compete against a number of smaller companies including: Corby, Crow Electronics, I.D. Systems, Keri Systems, Napco, Visonic, and United Security Products. In addition, some of our competitors are foreign entities who may be able to produce products for less than our current costs. Some of our competitors sell significant amounts of other products to our current and prospective customers.

Our competitors’ broad product portfolios, coupled with already existing relationships and lower costs, may cause our customers to buy our competitors’ products or harm our ability to attract new customers. Increased competition could adversely affect our sales and profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with new competitors.

Investments and Acquisitions. Although we have no current agreements to do so, we intend to consider investing in or acquiring products, technologies or businesses. In the event of future investments or acquisitions, we could:

• issue stock that would dilute our current shareholders’ percentage ownership, incur debt or assume liabilities;

• incur significant impairment charges related to the write-off of goodwill and purchased intangible assets;

• incur significant amortization expenses related to purchased intangible assets; or

• incur large and immediate write-offs for in-process research and development and stock-based compensation.

Our integration of any acquired products, technologies or businesses may also involve numerous risks including:

• problems and unanticipated costs associated with combining the purchased products, technologies, or businesses;

• diversion of management’s attention from our core business;

• adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

20

• risks associated with entering markets in which we have limited or no prior experience, and;

• potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired organizations.

We may be unable to successfully integrate any products, technologies, businesses or personnel that we might acquire in the future.

Lack of Patent Protection. Although we have obtained some patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright protection for certain of our products and software, management believes that competitors may be able to market certain products similar to those sold by IEI.

Offshore Production. We currently have some of our finished products manufactured in Asia. We presently maintain certain manufacturing molds in Asia and have a significant amount of components for some products manufactured in Asia. There can be no assurance that the Asian political or economic environment will remain sufficiently stable or that other factors will allow for reliable and consistent delivery of product.

Dependence on Single Source of Supply. We are dependent upon sole source suppliers for a number of key components and parts used in our products. There can be no assurance that these suppliers will be able to meet our future requirements for such components or that the components will be available to us at favorable prices, or at all. Any extended interruption in the supply or significant increase in price of any such components could have a material adverse effect on IEI’s operating results in any given period.

Foreign Sales. For the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and year ended August 31, 2002, our foreign sales represented approximately 10% and 8% of net sales, respectively. There may be a reduction in our foreign sales from historical levels in the event of significant changes in foreign exchange rates or political and economic instability in foreign countries.

Limited Market for Common Stock. There is a limited market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that even this limited market will be sustained. Holders of our common stock may have difficulty selling their shares or may have difficulty selling them at a favorable price.

Maintain SmallCap Listing on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the SmallCap standards to maintain our listing on NASDAQ. If we are unable to maintain our SmallCap listing on NASDAQ, holders of our common stock may have difficulty selling their shares at a favorable price, or at all, and it may be more difficult for us to obtain additional financing.

Volatility of Stock Price. Our stock price is subject to significant volatility. If revenues or earnings in any quarter fail to meet the investment community’s expectations, announcements of new products by IEI or our competitors and other events or factors

21

could have an immediate impact on our stock price. The stock price may also be affected by broader market trends unrelated to our performance.

Insiders have Substantial Control. Our executive officers, directors and entities affiliated with them beneficially own, in the aggregate, a significant portion of our outstanding common stock. Although there are no current agreements among the parties, these shareholders, if acting together, would be able to influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.

Item 3: Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. IEI’s chief executive and chief financial officer has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of IEI’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 14 and 15d- 14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), as of a date within ninety days before the filing of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive and financial officer has concluded that IEI’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by IEI in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There have not been any significant changes in IEI’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weakness in the internal controls, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.
