houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries holding stock for others in their names, or in those of their nominees, for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in sending proxy material to their principals or beneficial owners and
obtaining their proxies. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise, but the revocation of a proxy will not be effective until notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the Company. Every
properly signed proxy will be voted in accordance with the specification made thereon. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy are expected to be first sent to shareholders on or about April 12, 2004. </FONT></P> <P

the Company&#146;s financial reports, appointing, setting the compensation and overseeing the Company&#146;s independent accountants, and assessing the qualifications and independence and performance of the Company&#146;s independent accountants and
the adequacy of internal controls. The Audit Committee meets with the Company&#146;s independent accountants to review quarterly financial results, the annual audit scope, the results of the audit and other relevant matters. Mr. Hopkins serves as
Chairman of the Audit Committee, which held three in person meetings and one meeting by telephone conference during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. The Board of Directors has determined that all three members of the Audit Committee satisfy
the financial literacy requirements of the NASDAQ listing standards and are independent as defined under the NASDAQ listing requirements and applicable SEC rules. Additionally, the Board of Directors has determined that Graeme MacLetchie satisfies
the &#147;financial sophistication&#148; requirement of the NASDAQ listing requirements, but that none of the Audit Committee members qualifies as an &#147;audit committee financial expert&#148; as defined by the SEC rules, which, in the view of the
Board of Directors, require an advanced understanding of internal controls and procedures. However, the Board believes that the members of the Audit Committee have a thorough understanding of the Company&#146;s business, the accounting issues
relevant to the Company&#146;s financial statements and audit committee functions and possess the requisite skills to perform effectively their oversight function. The Audit Committee members expect to increase their understanding of internal
controls and procedures as the Company assesses and evaluates its internal control processes and procedures in order to provide the attestation report on internal control over financial reporting that the Company must file with respect to its fiscal
year ending January 31, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

is calculated on a monthly basis. The peer group index, the CRSP Index for NASDAQ Electronic Components Stock designated below as the industry index, is comprised of companies classified as electronic equipment manufacturers. The total returns
