REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholder of Insilco Technologies, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
combined statements of operations, of equity and comprehensive income (loss) and
of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial
position of the Passive Components Group (the Companies), wholly owned
subsidiaries of Insilco Technologies, Inc. (Insilco), at November 1, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their combined operations and
their combined cash flows for the ten months ended November 1, 2002 and for the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
are the responsibility of Insilco's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As explained in Note 1, the combined financial statements include certain costs
allocated by Insilco that are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
would have been recorded by the Companies on a stand-alone basis.
As explained in Note 12, there is substantial doubt about Insilco's and the
Companies' ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 1, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The combined financial statements reflect the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the Passive Components Group for the ten
months ended November 1, 2002 and the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000. The Passive Components Group consists of three business units and
their subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Insilco
Technologies, Inc.) (Insilco or the Parent): Signal Transformer Co., Inc.
(Signal); InNet Technologies, Inc. (InNet), which was purchased on January
10, 2001; and Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. (SCS), herein referred to as
Passive Components or the Companies. The Companies' operations consist of
the manufacturing and sale of telecommunications and electrical component
products. Passive Components is not a separate legal entity and since no
direct ownership in the Companies as a combined group exists, Insilco's net
investment and advances in the Companies is shown in lieu of stockholder's
equity in the combined financial statements and includes the accumulation
of transactions between the Companies and Insilco described below. All
intercompany accounts and transactions amongst the Passive Components Group
have been eliminated. Sales to other subsidiaries of Insilco were
approximately $45,000 for the ten months ended November 1, 2002 and $20,000
and $41,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Management believes the assumptions underlying the combined financial
statements are reasonable. However, the combined financial position,
results of operations and cash flows presented herein may not be the same
as would have occurred had the Companies operated as stand-alone entities
during the periods presented and may not be indicative of future financial
results.
INTERCOMPANY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PARENT
The combined financial statements include allocations of Insilco's
corporate overhead, executive management and administrative expenses
amounting to $1.2 million for the ten months ended November 1, 2002 and
$2.0 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, which are included in the Allocated corporate costs
line in the statement of operations. These allocations include the general
administrative expenses of Insilco's corporate office, such as accounting,
information technology, human resources, legal, environmental, treasury,
and tax. As specific identification of these expenses was not practical,
allocations were charged based on a formula factoring in the ratio of the
Companies' forecasted annual sales, forecasted assets, and actual number of
employees in proportion to Insilco's consolidated numbers for these
categories. The resulting ratio was applied to Insilco's forecasted
corporate expenses and allocated to the Companies rateably over each year.
Insilco's management believes that this allocation method is reasonable,
however, the allocations do not necessarily represent what the Companies
would have incurred on a stand-alone basis. As the Companies were operated
in a decentralized manner with their own administrative infrastructure, and
the Companies would likely make different decisions regarding
administrative initiatives, their overhead expenses as a separate company
would be different than that reflected in the combined financial
statements.

(WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES OF INSILCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 1, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Companies' combined financial statements also include allocations of
Insilco's interest expense totalling $2.8 million for the ten months ended
November 1, 2002 and $7.1 million and $4.2 million for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which are included in the
Allocated interest expense line in the statement of operations. Interest
expense has been allocated generally based on the Companies' net assets in
proportion to Insilco's consolidated net assets. The interest rate applied
was 10.0% in 2002, 2001 and 2000, which represents an estimated weighted
average cost of capital.
The amounts used to calculate interest expense do not necessarily reflect
the level of indebtedness the Companies would incur as a separate entity.
Insilco's management believes these are reasonable estimates of the cost of
financing the Companies' assets and operations in the past. However, the
Companies may not be able to obtain financing at interest rates similar to
those used for the interest expense calculation. Accordingly, the
Companies' interest expense and financing costs as a separate entity may be
different than that reflected in the combined financial statements.
Insilco uses a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of
its operations. The Companies' cash accounts are swept on a daily basis and
are netted against the net investment and advances account. As a result,
none of Insilco's cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has
been allocated to the Companies in the combined financial statements, other
than the $25 million portion of the credit facility drawn specifically to
fund the acquisition of InNet in 2001. Cash in the combined financial
statements primarily represents amounts held locally by the Companies'
operations in their various geographic areas.
ACQUISITION
On January 10, 2001, Insilco acquired the outstanding equity interests in
InNet, excluding approximately 16% of the outstanding equity interests that
Insilco already owned. InNet, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Insilco, is
a California-based designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of
magnetic interface products for networking, computer and telecommunications
original equipment manufacturers. The gross purchase price paid for the
remaining equity interests was $44.9 million and was financed with cash and
additional borrowings of $25.0 million under the Parent's credit facility.
The purchase method of accounting has been used to account for the
purchase; accordingly, the results of operations of InNet have been
included in the Companies' combined financial statements from January 10,
2001. The purchase price, net of cash acquired and including costs incurred
directly related to the transaction, was $44.2 million. The excess of the
purchase price over identifiable assets acquired was $37.9 million, which
was being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. InNet
subsequently evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill and recorded a
pretax impairment charge of $35.1 million in 2001. For further discussion,
see Note 11, Impairment of Goodwill.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents include time deposits and highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
TRADE RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts and
sales returns of $1.8 million, $1.5 million and $1.2 million at November 1,
2002, December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost
is generally determined using the first-in, first-out cost method.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant and
equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the assets'
estimated useful lives, which is 25 years for new buildings and ranges from
3 to 9 years for machinery and equipment. The cost of assets sold or
retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, with any resulting gain or loss included in net income.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals
and betterments that extend service lives are capitalized.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that full recoverability is questionable. Factors
used in the valuation include, but are not limited to, management's plans
for future operations, recent operating results and projected cash flows.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred financing costs are being amortized using the effective interest
method over the life of the related debt. Deferred financing costs were
$1,134,000, $1,313,000 and $749,000, net of accumulated amortization of
approximately $528,000, $289,000 and $45,000 at November 1, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Amortization expense was
approximately $239,000 for the period ended November 1, 2002, $244,000 in
2001 and $45,000 in 2000.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment to customers.
Provisions for returns and other adjustments are provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of the Companies' foreign subsidiaries are
translated at the balance sheet date exchange rates and statement of
operations accounts are translated at the average rates prevailing during
the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a
separate component of equity.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 1, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND COMPLIANCE
Environmental remediation and compliance expenditures are expensed or
capitalized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Liabilities are recorded when it is probable
the obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably
estimated.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximate book value at November 1, 2002, December 31, 2001
and 2000. Due to the situation described in Notes 12 and 13, management is
not able to make a fair determination of the fair value of the debt.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Companies are subject to concentration of credit risk relating to cash
and equivalents. The Companies maintain cash and cash equivalents with
various financial institutions. The Companies monitor the relative credit
standing of these financial institutions and other entities and limit the
amounts of credit exposure with any one entity. The Companies also monitor
the creditworthiness of the entities to which they grant credit terms in
the normal course of business.
The Companies are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates.
No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companies' combined revenues
in 2002, 2001 or 2000.
INCOME TAXES
Passive Components is not a separate tax paying entity. Passive Components
is included in Insilco's combined federal and certain state income tax
groups for income tax reporting purposes and is responsible for its
proportionate share of income taxes calculated upon its federal taxable
income at a current estimate of the annual effective tax rate.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and
are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in
which such differences are expected to reverse. Determination of the amount
of valuation allowance recognized is based upon an assessment of whether it
is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign
currency translation adjustments and is presented in the combined
statements of equity and comprehensive income (loss).

ESTIMATES
In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, the preparation of financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and, therefore, actual results may
ultimately differ from those estimates.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities. Statement No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. Statement No. 146 eliminates the
definition and requirement for recognition of exit costs in Emerging Issues
Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3 where a liability for an exit cost was
recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. This
statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. The Companies believe that the adoption of this
statement will not have a significant impact on the results of operations
or financial position.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation
of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation
No. 34. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies, relating to the guarantor's accounting for,
and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. This
interpretation clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the
inception of certain types of guarantees, a liability for the fair value of
the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition
and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a
prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002,
irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure
requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements
of annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Companies are
assessing the impact the adoption of this interpretation will have on the
results of operations or financial position.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT
On January 10, 2001, Insilco increased its credit facility by $25.0 million
to fund the acquisition of InNet. This debt is reflected in the combined
balance sheets of the Companies at December 31, 2001 and November 1, 2002.
The related interest expense, deferred financing costs, amortization
expense and accumulated amortization have also been reflected on the
combined balance sheets and combined statements of operations of the
Companies.
The outstanding balance under the credit facility is subject to
twenty-three mandatory quarterly payments of $62,500 and two payments of
$11,781,250 in each of year six and seven. Interest accrues under the
credit facility at floating rates calculated with respect to either the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or Bank One's Base Rate, plus an
applicable margin. The margin, in turn, fluctuates based on Insilco's debt
covenant ratios. LIBOR at November 1, 2002 was 1.66%. At November 1, 2002,
the applicable margin for the credit facility was LIBOR plus 4.5%.
The credit facilities of the Parent are guaranteed by all of Insilco's
subsidiaries, including the Companies. In addition, the obligations
thereunder are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Companies.
The credit facility contains certain financial covenants including, but not
limited to, covenants related to minimum EBITDA, maximum debt and a limit
on annual capital expenditures. The credit facility also contains certain
negative covenants typical of credit agreements of this type including, but
not limited to, a prohibition on the ability of Insilco and its domestic
subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness in excess of certain agreed
upon amounts, and to make investments other than permitted investments, and
also restricts Insilco and its subsidiaries from paying any

dividends, redeeming, repurchasing or acquiring any Insilco or Insilco
Holding Co. shares or paying any principal, premium or interest (in excess
of certain agreed upon amounts) on any subordinated obligations.
As a result of the situation described in Notes 12 and 13, the outstanding
debt obligation under the credit facility has been classified as current.
7. BENEFIT PLANS
Certain Signal and SCS employees participate in Insilco's defined benefit
pension plans. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on
employees' years of service and compensation near retirement. The
Companies' funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of
federal laws and regulations. The net periodic pension cost allocated to
the Companies associated with Insilco's defined benefit pension plans was
$164,000 during the ten months ended November 1, 2002, $127,000 during 2001
and $(71,000) during 2000.
Signal also contributes to a multi-employer plan sponsored by a bargaining
unit for its union employees. Signal recognized expenses of $201,000 during
the ten months ended November 1, 2002, $295,000 in 2001, and $313,000 in
2000 related to contributions to this multi-employer plan.
In addition to the defined benefit plans described above, Signal and SCS
employees may participate in a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan
sponsored by Insilco, which covers substantially all nonunion employees of
the Companies and their subsidiaries, and which covers union employees at
one of the Companies' subsidiaries. The Companies match 50% of
participants' voluntary contributions up to a maximum of 3% of each
participant's eligible compensation, subject to limitations required by
government laws or regulations. The Companies' expense related to this plan
was approximately $76,000 during the ten months ended November 1, 2002, and
$119,000 and $174,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
InNet sponsors a SIMPLE IRA plan for its employees. InNet's contributions
to this plan on behalf of its employees were $36,000 during the ten months
ended November 1, 2002 and $37,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Deferred taxes were not provided on cumulative unremitted earnings of
$8,961,000 and $9,238,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, for
certain subsidiaries outside the United States because it was expected that
the earnings would be permanently reinvested and determination was not
practical. In 2002, current taxes were provided on the earnings of those
foreign subsidiaries because it is expected that the earnings will not be
permanently reinvested due to financial obligations of Insilco.
At November 1, 2002, the Companies had net operating loss carryforwards for
Federal tax purposes of $20.9 million, which will begin to expire in 2022.
Insilco and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal
income tax return.
9. RESTRUCTURING AND PLANT CLOSING COSTS
During the ten months ended November 1, 2002 and the year ended December
31, 2001, the Companies recorded $1,744,000 and $181,000, respectively, of
restructuring and plant closing costs relating to the closure of facilities
in New York and the Dominican Republic and a sales office located in Japan.
These closings were under taken to reduce operating costs. During 2001, the
Companies paid approximately $181,000 related to these restructuring
charges. There were no charges during 2000.

into the environment. The Companies have a program for monitoring its
compliance with applicable environmental regulations, the interpretation of
which often is subjective. The Companies have taken significant measures to
(1) address emissions, discharges and waste generation and disposal, (2)
improve management practices and operations in response to legal
requirements, and (3) internally review compliance with applicable
environmental regulations and approved practices. In order to achieve these
goals, the Companies have instituted several programs including (1) raw
material and process substitution, recycling and material management, (2)
periodic review of hazardous waste storage and disposal practices, and (3)
review of compliance and financial status and management practices of our
offsite third-party waste management firms.
In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the matters
discussed above will not have a material adverse effect on the Companies'
combined financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
11. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
During the first half of 2001, the Companies experienced a significant
decrease in the rate of growth due to a dramatic decline in capital
spending in the telecommunications industry. During the second quarter of
2001, major customers further reduced their order forecasts and canceled
orders already placed. Management believed that the growth prospects for
these business segments were significantly less than previously expected
and those of historical periods.
The Companies review the value of their long-lived assets when events or
changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the
asset may be impaired. As a result of the business conditions noted above,
Insilco concluded such a review was required for its recent acquisition of
InNet, acquired in January 2001, and the related goodwill. The review was
completed in a series of tests. The first test included the following
steps: (1) management estimated the undiscounted future cash flows of the
asset based on estimated growth levels; (2) management estimated the
terminal value of the asset based on an appropriate multiple of EBITDA; and
(3) management compared the sum of the future cash flows and terminal value
to the carrying value of long lived assets to determine if an impairment
has occurred. If an impairment had occurred, management performed a second
test as follows: (1) management discounted the future cash flows and
terminal value, using EBITDA as a proxy for cash flow, to a present value
using an appropriate discount rate; and (2) management compared the
discounted net present value to the carrying value of long lived assets to
determine the amount of the impairment.
As a result of this review, management determined that the goodwill related
to the acquisition of InNet was impaired and, in accordance with Insilco's
policy it was necessary to write down the goodwill. Thus in 2001, InNet
recorded a pretax impairment charge of $35.1 million.

12. GOING CONCERN MATTERS
On February 15, 2002, the Parent failed to make a required interest payment
on its 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 (the 12% Notes). The 30-day
grace period for such payment expired on March 18, 2002, resulting in an
event of default under the indenture governing the 12% Notes, as well as a
cross-default under the Parent's Senior Secured Credit facility (the
Amended Credit Agreement). Further, on March 31, 2002, the Parent failed to
meet the EBITDA covenant under its Amended Credit Agreement and was in
default on its Amended Credit Agreement and its 12% Notes. Subsequently,
the Parent did not make the $7.2 million August 15, 2002 required interest
payment on its 12% Notes and did not meet the EBITDA covenants under its
Amended Credit Agreement for June 30 and September 30, 2002. At September
30, 2002, the Parent continued to operate under these defaults and,
therefore, has classified as current, its debt obligations under the
Amended Credit Agreement, the 12% Notes and the 14% Senior Discount Notes
Due 2008 (the 14% Notes).
On May 3, 2002, the Parent and the lenders under the Amended Credit
Agreement (the Lenders) entered into a forbearance agreement (Forbearance
Agreement). Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders agreed that,
absent a further default, they would not (a) accelerate the maturity of the
debt under the Amended Credit Agreement, (b) take enforcement action
against any collateral, including effecting any rights of setoff, or (c)
commence any legal action to enforce rights or remedies pursuant to the
terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, for the period from May 3, 2002
until July 10, 2002 (the Forbearance Period). This agreement was
subsequently amended to extend the Forbearance Period through November 4,
2002. The purpose of the Forbearance Period was to allow the Parent time to
evaluate and pursue strategic alternatives, such as a sale of all or some
of the business, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, or other remedies
appropriate for the circumstances. To that end, the Parent engaged in
active discussions with potential purchasers of substantially all of the
assets of its three business segments, including the Passive Components
Group, which the Parent anticipates will result in multiple sales of these
business segments through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
The Parent's recent losses and highly leveraged position raise substantial
doubt about the Parent's and the Companies' ability to continue as a going
concern. The combined financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Parent and the Companies become unable to continue as a going concern.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On December 16, 2002, Insilco Holding Co., the parent company of Insilco,
Insilco and several of Insilco's subsidiaries, including the Companies,
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware. The debtors continue to manage their properties and operate their
businesses as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Code.

In addition, Insilco Holding Co. completed its review of strategic
alternatives for addressing its capital structure issues and its primary
operating subsidiary, Insilco, has entered into definitive agreements to
sell substantially all of the assets of its three business segments,
including the Passive Components Group, for which the Parent and certain of
its subsidiaries have agreed to sell to Bel Fuse Ltd. for approximately $35
million.
None of Insilco's operations located outside of the United States were
included in the Chapter 11 filings, though the shares of certain foreign
subsidiaries and certain foreign assets will be included in the sale
transactions. The Chapter 11 filings allow the sale of the assets of the
domestic entities to be free and clear from certain liabilities that the
prospective purchasers do not wish to assume.
On January 14, 2003, the Parent notified the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC) that a reportable event occurred in regards to the
defined benefit pension plan due to the Chapter 11 filing. The Parent
intends to terminate the plan as the potential buyers of the various
businesses will not sponsor the existing plan. The plan was in an
under-funded position of approximately $17 million, on a termination basis,
as of December 31, 2002. Management expects the PBGC to take over as
trustee of the plan and that the PBGC will make all future benefit payments
to the covered employees after such time.

DECEMBER 31, 2002 (Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The combined financial statements reflect the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Passive Components Group
for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Passive Components Group
consists of three business units and their subsidiaries (all of which
are wholly owned subsidiaries of Insilco Technologies, Inc.) (Insilco
or the Parent): Signal Transformer Co., Inc. (Signal); InNet
Technologies, Inc. (InNet), which was purchased on January 10, 2001;
and Stewart Connector Systems, Inc. (SCS), herein referred to as
Passive Components or the Companies. The Companies' operations consist
of the manufacturing and sale of telecommunications and electrical
component products. Passive Components is not a separate legal entity
and since no direct ownership in the Companies as a combined group
exists, Insilco's net investment and advances in the Companies is shown
in lieu of stockholder's equity in the combined financial statements
and includes the accumulation of transactions between the Companies and
Insilco described below. All intercompany accounts and transactions
amongst the Passive Components Group have been eliminated. Sales to
other subsidiaries of Insilco were approximately $28,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2002.
Management believes the assumptions underlying the combined financial
statements are reasonable. However, the combined financial position,
results of operations and cash flows presented herein may not be the
same as would have occurred had the Companies operated as stand-alone
entities during the period presented and may not be indicative of
future financial results.
INTERCOMPANY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PARENT
The combined financial statements include allocations of Insilco's
corporate overhead, executive management and administrative expenses
amounting to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002,, which
are included in the Allocated corporate costs line in the statement of
operations. These allocations include the general administrative
expenses of Insilco's corporate office, such as accounting, information
technology, human resources, legal, environmental, treasury, and tax.
As specific identification of these expenses was not practical,
allocations were charged based on a formula factoring in the ratio of
the Companies' forecasted annual sales, forecasted assets, and actual
number of employees in proportion to Insilco's consolidated numbers for
these categories. The resulting ratio was applied to Insilco's
forecasted corporate expenses and allocated to the Companies rateably
for the year.
Insilco's management believes that this allocation method is
reasonable, however, the allocations do not necessarily represent what
the Companies would have incurred on a stand-alone basis. As the
Companies were operated in a decentralized manner with their own
administrative infrastructure, and the Companies would likely make
different decisions regarding administrative initiatives, their
overhead expenses as a separate company would be different than that
reflected in the combined financial statements.

The Companies' combined financial statements also include allocations of
Insilco's interest expense totaling $3.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2002, which are included in the Allocated interest expense line in the statement
of operations. Interest expense has been allocated generally based on the
Companies' net assets in proportion to Insilco's consolidated net assets. The
interest rate applied was 10.0%, which represents an estimated weighted average
cost of capital.
The amounts used to calculate interest expense do not necessarily reflect the
level of indebtedness the Companies would incur as a separate entity. Insilco's
management believes these are reasonable estimates of the cost of financing the
Companies' assets and operations in the past. However, the Companies may not be
able to obtain financing at interest rates similar to those used for the
interest expense calculation. Accordingly, the Companies' interest expense and
financing costs as a separate entity may be different than that reflected in the
combined financial statements.
Insilco uses a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of its
operations. The Companies' cash accounts are swept on a daily basis and are
netted against the net investment and advances account. As a result, none of
Insilco's cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has been
allocated to the Companies in the combined financial statements, other than the
$25 million portion of the credit facility drawn specifically to fund the
acquisition of InNet in 2001. Cash in the combined financial statements
primarily represents amounts held locally by the Companies' operations in their
various geographic areas.
ACQUISITION
On January 10, 2001, Insilco acquired the outstanding equity interests in InNet,
excluding approximately 16% of the outstanding equity interests that Insilco
already owned. InNet, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Insilco, is a
California-based designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of magnetic
interface products for networking, computer and telecommunications original
equipment manufacturers. The gross purchase price paid for the remaining equity
interests was $44.9 million and was financed with cash and additional borrowings
of $25.0 million under the Parent's credit facility. The purchase method of
accounting has been used to account for the purchase; accordingly, the results
of operations of InNet have been included in the Companies' combined financial
statements from January 10, 2001. The purchase price, net of cash acquired and
including costs incurred directly related to the transaction, was $44.2 million.
The excess of the purchase price over identifiable assets acquired was $37.9
million, which was being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. InNet
subsequently evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill and recorded a pretax
impairment charge of $35.l million in 2001. For further discussion, see Note 11,
Impairment of Goodwill.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents include time deposits and highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
TRADE RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts
and sales returns of $1.7 million at December 31, 2002.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Cost is generally determined using the first-in, first-out cost method.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant
and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the assets
estimated useful lives, which is 25 years for new buildings and ranges
from 3 to 9 years for machinery and equipment. The cost of assets sold
or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss included in net income.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major
renewals and betterments that extend service lives are capitalized.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that full recoverability is
questionable. Factors used in the valuation include, but are not
limited to, management's plans for future operations, recent operating
results and projected cash flows.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred financing costs are being amortized using the effective
interest method over the life of the related debt. Amortization expense
was approximately $1,373,000 for 2002 which includes a $1,098,000 write
off of the remaining balance during December 2002.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment to customers.
Provisions for returns and other adjustments are provided for in the
same period the related sales are recorded.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of the Companies' foreign subsidiaries are
translated at the balance sheet date exchange rates and statement of
operations accounts are translated at the average rates prevailing
during the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are
recorded as a separate component of equity.

DECEMBER 31, 2002 (Unaudited)
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND COMPLIANCE
Environmental remediation and compliance expenditures are expensed or
capitalized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Liabilities are recorded when it is
probable the obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be
reasonably estimated.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximate book value at December 31, 2002. Due to the
situation described in Notes 12 and 13, management is not able to make
a fair determination of the fair value of the debt.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Companies are subject to concentration of credit risk relating to
cash and equivalents. The Companies maintain cash and cash equivalents
with various financial institutions. The Companies monitor the relative
credit standing of these financial institutions and other entities and
limit the amounts of credit exposure with any one entity. The Companies
also monitor the creditworthiness of the entities to which they grant
credit terms in the normal course of business.
The Companies are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates.
No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companies' combined
revenues in 2002.
INCOME TAXES
Passive Components is not a separate tax paying entity. Passive
Components is included in Insilco's combined federal and certain state
income tax groups for income tax reporting purposes and is responsible
for its proportionate share of income taxes calculated upon its federal
taxable income at a current estimate of the annual effective tax rate.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon
differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to
taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse.
Determination of the amount of valuation allowance recognized is based
upon an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that all or
some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign
currency translation adjustments and is presented in the combined
statements of equity and comprehensive income (loss).

ESTIMATES
In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, the preparation of financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and, therefore, actual
results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. Statement No. 146 requires
that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Statement No.
146 eliminates the definition and requirement for recognition of exit
costs in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3 where a
liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. This statement is effective for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Companies
believe that the adoption of this statement will not have a significant
impact on the results of operations or financial position.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an
interpretation of FA SB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of
FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB
Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, relating to the
guarantor's accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain
types of guarantees. This interpretation clarifies that a guarantor is
required to recognize, at the inception of certain types of guarantees,
a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing
the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of
this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the
guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements in this
interpretation are effective for financial statements of annual periods
ending after December 15, 2002. The Companies are assessing the impact
the adoption of this interpretation will have on the results of
operations or financial position.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT
On January 10, 2001, Insilco increased its credit facility by $25.0
million to fund the acquisition of InNet. This debt is reflected in the
combined balance sheet of the Companies at December 31, 2002. The
related interest expense, deferred financing costs, amortization
expense and accumulated amortization have also been reflected on the
combined balance sheets and combined statements of operations of the
Companies.
The outstanding balance under the credit facility is subject to
twenty-three mandatory quarterly payments of $62,500 and two payments
of $l1,781,250 in each of year six and seven. Interest accrues under
the credit facility at floating rates calculated with respect to either
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or Bank One's Base Rate, plus
an applicable margin. The margin, in turn, fluctuates based on
Insilco's debt covenant ratios. LIBOR at December 31, 2002 was 1.45%.
At December 31, 2002, the applicable margin for the credit facility was
LJBOR plus 4.5%.
The credit facilities of the Parent are guaranteed by all of Insilco's
subsidiaries, including the Companies. In addition, the obligations
thereunder are collateralized by substantially all assets of the
Companies.
The credit facility contains certain financial covenants including, but
not limited to, covenants related to minimum EBITDA, maximum debt and a
limit on annual capital expenditures. The credit facility also contains
certain negative covenants typical of credit agreements of this type
including, but not limited to, a prohibition on the ability of Insilco
and its domestic subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness in
excess of certain agreed upon amounts, and to make investments other
than permitted investments, and also restricts Insilco and its
subsidiaries from paying any

Holding Co. shares or paying any principal, premium or interest (in
excess of certain agreed upon amounts) on any subordinated obligations.
As a result of the situation described in Notes 12 and 13, the
outstanding debt obligation under the credit facility has been
classified as current.
7. BENEFIT PLANS
Certain Signal and SCS employees participate in Insilco's defined
benefit pension plans. The benefits under these plans are based
primarily on employees' years of service and compensation near
retirement. The Companies' funding policy is consistent with the
funding requirements of federal laws and regulations. The net periodic
pension cost allocated to the Companies associated with Insilco's
defined benefit pension plans was $213,000 during 2002.
Signal also contributes to a multi-employer plan sponsored by a
bargaining unit for its union employees. Signal recognized expenses of
$249,000 in 2002 related to contributions to this multi-employer plan.
In addition to the defined benefit plans described above, Signal and
SCS employees may participate in a qualified defined contribution
401(k) plan sponsored by lnsilco, which covers substantially all
nonunion employees of the Companies and their subsidiaries, and which
covers union employees at one of the Companies' subsidiaries. The
Companies match 50% of participants' voluntary contributions up to a
maximum of 3% of each participant's eligible compensation, subject to
limitations required by government laws or regulations. The Companies'
expense related to this plan was approximately $79,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2002.
InNet sponsors a SIMPLE IRA plan for its employees. InNet's
contributions to this plan on behalf of its employees were $42,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2002.

in the ordinary course of business. The Companies accrue for amounts
related to legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. No amounts were accrued
related to legal matters at December 31, 2002.
The Companies' operations are subject to extensive federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the generation, storage,
handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the
environment. The Companies have a program for monitoring its compliance
with applicable environmental regulations, the interpretation of which
often is subjective. The Companies have taken significant measures to
(1) address emissions, discharges and waste generation and disposal,
(2) improve management practices and operations in response to legal
requirements, and (3) internally review compliance with applicable
environmental regulations and approved practices. In order to achieve
these goals, the Companies have instituted several programs including
(1) raw material and process substitution, recycling and material
management, (2) periodic review of hazardous waste storage and disposal
practices, and (3) review of compliance and financial status and
management practices of our offsite third-party waste management firms.
In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the matters
discussed above will not have a material adverse effect on the
Companies' combined financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.

11. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
During the first half of 2001, the Companies experienced a significant
decrease in the rate of growth due to a dramatic decline in capital
spending in the telecommunications industry. During the second quarter
of 2001, major customers further reduced their order forecasts and
canceled orders already placed. Management believed that the growth
prospects for these business segments were significantly less than
previously expected and those of historical periods.
The Companies review the value of their long-lived assets when events
or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of
the asset may be impaired. As a result of the business conditions noted
above, Insilco concluded such a review was required for its recent
acquisition of InNet, acquired in January 2001, and the related
goodwill. The review was completed in a series of tests. The first test
included the following steps: (1) management estimated the undiscounted
future cash flows of the asset based on estimated growth levels; (2)
management estimated the terminal value of the asset based on an
appropriate multiple of EBITDA; and (3) management compared the sum of
the future cash flows and terminal value to the carrying value of long
lived assets to determine if an impairment has occurred. If an
impairment had occurred, management performed a second test as follows:
(1) management discounted the future cash flows and terminal value,
using EBITDA as a proxy for cash flow, to a present value using an
appropriate discount rate; and (2) management compared the discounted
net present value to the carrying value of long lived assets to
determine the amount of the impairment.
As a result of this review, management determined that the goodwill
related to the acquisition of InNet was impaired and, in accordance
with Insilco's policy it was necessary to write down the goodwill. Thus
in 2001, InNet recorded a pretax impairment charge of $35.1 million.

12. GOING CONCERN MATTERS
On February 15, 2002, the Parent failed to make a required interest
payment on its 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 (the 12% Notes).
The 30-day grace period for such payment expired on March 18, 2002,
resulting in an event of default under the indenture governing the 12%
Notes, as well as a cross-default under the Parent's Senior Secured
Credit facility (the Amended Credit Agreement). Further, on March 31,
2002, the Parent failed to meet the EBITDA covenant under its Amended
Credit Agreement and was in default on its Amended Credit Agreement and
its 12% Notes. Subsequently, the Parent did not make the $7.2 million
August 15, 2002 required interest payment on its 12% Notes and did not
meet the EBITDA covenants under its Amended Credit Agreement for June
30 and September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Parent continued
to operate under these defaults and, therefore, has classified as
current, its debt obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement, the
12% Notes and the 14% Senior Discount Notes Due 2008 (the 14% Notes).
On May 3, 2002, the Parent and the lenders under the Amended Credit
Agreement (the Lenders) entered into a forbearance agreement
(Forbearance Agreement). Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders
agreed that, absent a further default, they would not (a) accelerate
the maturity of the debt under the Amended Credit Agreement, (b) take
enforcement action against any collateral, including effecting any
rights of setoff, or (c) commence any legal action to enforce rights or
remedies pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, for the
period from May 3, 2002 until July 10, 2002 (the Forbearance Period).
This agreement was subsequently amended to extend the Forbearance
Period through November 4, 2002. The purpose of the Forbearance Period
was to allow the Parent time to evaluate and pursue strategic
alternatives, such as a sale of all or some of the business, a Chapter
11 bankruptcy filing, or other remedies appropriate for the
circumstances. To that end, the Parent engaged in active discussions
with potential purchasers of substantially all of the assets of its
three business segments, including the Passive Components Group, which
the Parent anticipates will result in multiple sales of these business
segments through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
The Parent's recent losses and highly leveraged position raise
substantial doubt about the Parent's and the Companies' ability to
continue as a going concern. The combined financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Parent and the Companies
become unable to continue as a going concern.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On December 16, 2002, Insilco Holding Co., the parent company of
Insilco, Insilco and several of Insilco's subsidiaries, including the
Companies, filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware. The debtors continue to manage their
properties and operate their businesses as "debtors-in-possession"
under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Code.

agreements to sell substantially all of the assets of its three
business segments, including the Passive Components Group, for which
the Parent and certain of its subsidiaries have agreed to sell to Bel
Fuse Ltd. for approximately $35 million.
None of Insilco's operations located outside of the United States were
included in the Chapter 11 filings, though the shares of certain
foreign subsidiaries and certain foreign assets will be included in the
sale transactions. The Chapter 11 filings allow the sale of the assets
of the domestic entities to be free and clear from certain liabilities
that the prospective purchasers do not wish to assume.
On January 14, 2003, the Parent notified the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC) that a reportable event occurred in regards to the
defined benefit pension plan due to the Chapter 11 filing. The Parent
intends to terminate the plan as the potential buyers of the various
businesses will not sponsor the existing plan. The plan was in an
under-funded position of approximately $17 million, on a termination
basis, as of December 31, 2002. Management expects the PBGC to take
over as trustee of the plan and that the PBGC will make all future
benefit payments to the covered employees after such time.

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business
Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the
