NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2006

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 10 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial transactions and accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management 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 may differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided under the liability method and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Company establishes valuation allowances when the realization of specific deferred tax assets are subject to significant uncertainty. The Company recorded no tax benefits on its operating losses, as the losses will have to be carried forward and realization of any benefit is uncertain.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates first-in, first-out) or market (replacement cost or net realizable value). Inventories at June 30, 2006 were $0 net of reserves for excess and obsolete inventories of $138,409.

Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on 6,335,965 shares outstanding, since the effect of including the impact of the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options is anti-dilutive.

2. LIQUIDITY

As a result of the continuing deterioration in its financial position, the Company has taken three major steps in the first six months of 2006 that both reduce the Company’s expenses and improve the Company’s liquidity. In March 2006, the Company sold its former Power Sources division, realizing $300,000 in cash proceeds (See also Note 6). In April 2006, the Company announced plans to close its Services division in Singapore (See also Note 6). On July 6, 2006, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Houston headquarters building. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $3.9 million. As a result of the sale, the Company repaid all of its debt, and cash increased by approximately $1.4 million (See also Note 7). Although these actions have produced sufficient cash for the Company to operate its remaining business line through the balance of 2006 and into 2007, the Company does not believe the business line will return to profitability or generate positive cash flow in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company has no plans to resume research and development activities in its Testing Products division. Based upon its current financial position, and an evaluation of the prospects for continuing to operate its remaining business segment, the Company has concluded that it should pursue one, or some combination, of the following courses of action: sell its remaining real estate holdings; sell its remaining business unit; invest in another line of business through a purchase or merger; make distributions to its shareholders of the proceeds of asset or business line sales, possibly through a corporate liquidation. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully complete any of these transactions or be able to maintain sufficient liquidity over a period of time that will allow it to carry out these actions, in which case the Company might be forced to liquidate or seek protection under the Federal bankruptcy statutes, or both.

5. STOCK OPTION PLAN

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock option plan using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), under which no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants. Accordingly, share based compensation related to stock options was included as a pro forma disclosure in the financial statement footnotes and continues to be for periods prior to 2006.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the first quarter of 2006 includes compensation costs for all stock options granted, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the loss from continuing operations and net loss were $3,000 greater than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. This expense related to the final quarter of vesting for options granted in 2003. The Company’s option awards have graded vesting and the Company has elected to compute compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The fair value of each option award was estimated as of the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. At March 31, 2006, there were no more unvested option grants, thus no further stock option expense will be recorded until such time that additional option grants are made. Due to the minor amount of the charge to expense in 2006, there was no impact on the Company’s loss per share. Additionally, due to the Company’s substantial tax loss carryforwards, no income tax benefit has been recognized with respect to the expensing of stock options.

The following table provides pro forma net loss and loss per share had the Company applied the fair value method of SFAS 123 for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2005 (in thousands, except per share data):

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 29, 2005, the Company terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement for the purchase of the Ezy-Load product line. The Company elected to terminate the agreement due to disappointing sales of the product and the amount of capital required to sustain the sales and marketing efforts. As a result of the termination, the Company’s former Automotive division was abandoned and is included in loss for discontinued operations.

On March 14, 2006, the Company sold its Power Sources Division to Reliability Power, Inc., an unaffiliated third party. Proceeds from the sale were $300,000. A gain of $108,000 was realized and is included in income from discontinued operations.

On April 18, 2006, the Company announced plans to close down its Services division located in Singapore. During the wind down of operations, the division has continued to provide limited services for its customers while they seek alternative service providers. The Company has accrued $300,000 for estimated termination benefits related to the closure of its Singapore facility and is included in loss from discontinued operations.

Results of operations for the former Automotive, Power Sources, and Services divisions are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Statement of Operations for each period presented. Net sales and the loss from discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as current expectations and assumptions. From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements, including those that are contained in this report, relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the Company’s business include, but are not limited to, its ability maintain sufficient working capital, adverse changes in the global economy, sudden decreases in the demand for electronic products and semiconductors, market acceptance of the Company’s products and services, the impact of competition, delays in product development schedules, delays due to technical difficulties related to developing and implementing technology, delays in delivery schedules, the ability to attract and maintain sufficient levels of people with specific technical talents, future results related to investments and acquisitions, changes in demand for the Company’s products and services and the Company’s customers’ products and services. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, including those set forth elsewhere in this report. The Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND COMMENTS RELATED TO OPERATIONS

The Company has defined a critical accounting policy as one that is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires the management of the Company to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments. These estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. There have been no material changes or developments in the Company’s evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that it believes to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In March 2006, the Company sold its former Power Sources division, realizing $300,000 in cash proceeds. In April 2006, the Company announced plans to close its Services division in Singapore. On July 6, 2006, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its Houston headquarters building. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $3.9 million. As a result of the sale, the Company repaid all its debt, and cash increased by approximately $1.4 million. Although these actions have produced sufficient cash for the Company to operate its remaining business line through the balance of 2006 and into 2007, the Company does not believe the business line will return to profitability or generate positive cash flow in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company has no plans to resume research and development activities in its Testing Products division. Based upon its current financial position, and an evaluation of the prospects for continuing to operate its remaining business segment, the Company has concluded that it should pursue one, or some combination, of the following courses of action: sell its remaining real estate holdings; sell its remaining business unit; invest in another line of business through a purchase or merger; make distributions to its shareholders of the proceeds of asset or business line sales, possibly through a corporate liquidation. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully complete any of these transactions or be able to maintain sufficient liquidity over a period of time that will allow it to carry out these actions, in which case the Company might be forced to liquidate or seek protection under the Federal bankruptcy statutes, or both.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

June 30, 2006

Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $905,000 compared to $1,246,000 used by operations in the comparable period of 2005. The primary difference was a net income of $831,000 from continuing operations for 2006 compared with a net loss of $1,883,000 for the same period in 2005, offset by $1,725,000 on gains from the sale of assets, securities and other income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, investing activities provided $4,569,000 of cash, compared to $30,000 during the same period of 2005. The primary improvement resulted from net proceeds of $4,061,000 on the sale of assets, $300,000 from the sale of Power Sources and $208,000 from the sale of investment securities.

Financing activities, during the six months ended June 30, 2006, consumed $2,513,000 in cash as a result of repaying all borrowing under the Company’s credit agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to six months ended June 30, 2005.

Revenues.

Revenues during the first half of 2006 declined 27% to $221,000 from $304,000 for the same period of 2005. The decline was the result of lower system refurbishment/upgrade activity.

Gross Profit

Gross margin during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $6,000 compared with ($242,000) during the same period of 2005. The improvement in gross margin is primarily the result of changes in product mix, a $30,000 reduction in payroll and payroll related expenses, a $48,000 reduction in depreciation due to the reclassification of the Company’s headquarters to Assets Held For Sale and no longer subject to depreciation, a $48,000 decrease in reserve accruals for excess and obsolete inventory, a $32,000 reduction in allocated operating expenses as a result of lower revenues and reductions in staffing.

Marketing, General and Administrative

Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,046,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $746,000 for the same 2006 period. The expense reductions can be attributed to a $30,000 decrease in labor cost due to staff reductions implemented in August 2005, $75,000 reduction in amortization cost for demonstration equipment incurred in 2005 for which there is no corresponding expense in 2006, $193,000 decrease in allocated operating expense as a result of staff reductions and lower business activity.

Research and Development

Research and development costs were $526,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with nil for the same period of 2006. As a part of cost cutting measures implemented in August of 2005, the Company suspended all research and development activities for further development of the Criteria 20.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $167,000 compared with $86,000 for the same period of 2005. The $81,000 increase is a result of increased borrowing of $1,005,000 under the Company’s credit agreements and a 1.75% increase in prime interest rates. As of June 30, 2006 the Company has repaid all borrowings under the Company’s credit and loan agreements.
