Summary of SCRO
*********************************************

Score One Incorporated (SCOR) manufactures Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Their list of clients
include Sharp, Canon, Citizen, Sony and Hitachi among others.

Score One Inc., is currently ranked third on the otc-bb in net income
within the Electronic Instruments and Controls Category. They are ranked
in the top 2% of all the listed stocks on the otc-bb in net income.
Results for the last quarter ending November 30, 2000 were impressive, an
increase in net income of 75% to $1.7 million vs. the comparable quarter
last year. Profit margins increased 39.2%. Revenue for the quarter was
$5.3 million. The total earning per share of $.09 for the three-month
period ended Nov. 30, 2000, constitutes a significant increase of 50
percent over the previously reported $.06 for the same period ended Nov.
30, 1999. During the previous six-month reporting period ended Nov. 30,
2000, shareholder equity appreciated by 64 percent from $4.84 million to
$7.95 million.

Net income and shareholder equity are up significantly, in large part
because of more efficient operations and increased profit margins.
Hopefully the market as a whole learned something in the dot com bust by
valuing companies on revenue alone. In the end, the going concern is net
income and this is where we feel that SCRO becomes very appealing and
presents itself as a buying opportunity. We see no reason why SCRO cannot
maintain their very healthy profit margins and indeed expand on it with
their recent acquisition.

President Roy Ho recently commented "We attribute the Company's increase
in net income and gross profit margin to our successful entrance into
higher profit margin PCB markets, our providing of additional value-added
services to our clients during the last two quarters and lower production
costs as a result of bulk purchases of raw materials at comparatively
lower prices. We continue to demonstrate our ability to report consecutive
periods of increasing profitability and our dedication to maximizing
investment returns and shareholders' value. With the highly anticipated
entry of China into the World Trade Organization, we expect numerous doors
to open, which will enable us to capture an abundance of new and lucrative
business for many years to come".

Score One Inc., recently announced the acquisition of Copper Clad
Laminated Sheet Co which should fit seamlessly into their operations.
Copper Clad is principally engaged in the manufacture of board materials
for printed circuit board manufacturers. The business assets of Copper
Clad Laminated Sheet Co. that are to be acquired by Score One have an
anticipated value of at least US$10 million.

Commenting on the proposed acquisition of Copper Clad Laminated Sheet Co.,
Roy Ho, president and chief executive officer of Score One, stated, ``We
anticipate the acquisition of Copper Clad Laminated Sheet Co. to translate
into an increase of US$2 million in our net profit for fiscal year 2001.''

Score One has a very impressive manufacturing process in both time to
market and established quality control checks. This enables SCRO to
maintain long-term relationships within a fast changing industry. SCRO was
the first to introduce conductive carbon technology which eliminates the
welds in the circuitry and uses carbon as a conductive element, which is a
much more efficient method to produce the electrical circuits. This
technology enables them to produce very small PCB´s that can be used in
the new generation of communications equipment, palm top computers etc.

To summarize: We feel SCRO is extremely well positioned to continue
dominating their field in the South China market and make inroads through
their existing channels abroad. Acquiring suppliers will not only serve to
diversify their revenue but increase what is already a very attractive
profit margin. The inclusion of China in the World Trade Organization
should further propel SCRO into new markets. We look for higher profit
margins and growing earnings per share from SCRO looking forward. SCRO
compliments anyone's portfolio that is looking for aggressive growth in
the microcap sector.

Business
************************************************

Score One Inc., is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of printed
circuit boards ("PCB") for telecommunication systems, scientific
calculators and audiovisual equipment. ATHI's primary customers are
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). PCB's are the basic platforms
used to interconnect electronic components and can be found in virtually
all electronic products, including consumer electronics, computers and
automotive, telecommunications, industrial, medical, military and
aerospace equipment.

Overview

With electronics products growing in technical complexity and experiencing
shorter product life cycles in response to customer requirements, the
demand for advanced manufacturing capabilities and related services has
grown rapidly. Many OEMs in the electronics industry are increasingly
utilizing electronics manufacturing service providers, such as ATHI in
their business and manufacturing strategies. Outsourcing allows OEMs to
take advantage of the manufacturing expertise and capital investments of
electronics manufacturing service providers, thereby enabling OEMs to
concentrate on their core competencies, such as product development,
marketing and sales.

ATHI believes that by developing strategic relationships with electronics
manufacturing service providers, OEMs can enhance their competitive
position by: reducing production costs; accelerating time-to-market and
time-to-volume production; accessing advanced manufacturing, design and
engineering capabilities; reducing capital investment requirements and
fixed overhead costs; improving inventory management and purchasing power;
and accessing worldwide manufacturing capabilities.

Management believes that the market for electronic manufacturing services
will continue to grow, driven largely by OEMs' need for increasing
flexibility to respond to rapidly changing markets and technologies and
accelerating product life cycles, and their need for advanced
manufacturing and engineering capabilities as a result of increased
complexity and reduced size of electronics products.

ATHI currently offers ten major types of PCB's in three categories to suit
various specifications of the finished products. The categories are the
single-sided PCB's, the double-sided PCB and the flexible PCB's. The
single-sided PCB's are designed for more generic electronic products, such
as clocks, remote controls, calculators, radio, and watches.

The double-sided PCB's are made for a wide variety of sophisticated
mass-produced consumer electronics, such as personal organizers and data
bank's multifunctional telephone systems, telecommunication systems,
scientific calculators and audiovisual equipment. The flexible PCB's are
made out of film materials and conductive carbon (graphite) that offer
more flexibility in circuit design and reduced costs. Flexible PCB's are
primarily used in telecommunication devices and computer equipment.

Product Development

The development of ATHI products began in 1991 when ATHI entered into a
processing agreement with a Chinese electronics component manufacturer to
produce printed circuit boards for Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign
electronics manufacturers based in southern China. At the time, the size
of the subcontractors factory utilized by ATHI was approximately 12,500
square feet with 40 workers. Given extremely high levels of demand, the
factory reached full capacity within six months of commencement. In mid
1995, the factory expanded its capacity and relocated to Dongguan by
signing a second processing agreement. The area of the new factory was
approximately 45,000 square feet and the number of workers increased to
350.

A major break through for the business came in 1996 regarding the
launching of the double-sided conductive carbon PCB. ATHI was one of a
small number of manufacturers in China to use conductive carbon as
material in the manufacturing process. As a result of this new technology,
cost of sales for double sided PCB's decreased by 40% on average,
significantly increased its operating profit margins.

In early 2000 ATHI introduced a more advanced technology in PCB
manufacturing utilizing film materials as the base for PCB's in place of
paper phenolic, fabric or glass epoxy. As film offered more flexibility in
circuit design and was cheaper in cost as compared to other materials,
ATHI's sales and customer base increased significantly. As part of
continuing efforts to upgrade its technical expertise and base, ATHI
installed state of the art automated production machinery purchased from
Taiwan and Japan.

Manufacturing

To achieve excellence in manufacturing, ATHI combines advanced
manufacturing technology with manufacturing techniques including
just-in-time manufacturing, total quality management, statistical process
control and continuous flow manufacturing. Just-in-time manufacturing is a
production technique which minimizes work-in-process inventory and
manufacturing cycle time while enabling ATHI to deliver products to
customers in the quantities and time frame required.

Total quality management is a management philosophy which seeks to impart
high levels of quality in every operation of ATHI and is accomplished by
the setting of quality objectives for every operation, tracking
performance against those objectives, identifying work flow and policy
changes required to achieve higher quality levels and a commitment by
executive management to support changes required to deliver higher quality.

Statistical process control is a set of analytical and problem-solving
techniques based on statistics and process capability measurements through
which processes can be tracked, inputs and resulting quality and determine
whether a process is operating within specified limits. The goal is to
reduce variability in the process, as well as eliminate deviations that
contribute to quality below the acceptable range of each process
performance standard.

Quality Control

ATHI is committed to manufacturing high quality products and to providing
a high level of after sales service to its customers. Management believes
that product quality is vital to enhancing the Company's competitiveness,
market position and reputation. In order to maintain and improve the
quality of its products and production standards, to this end ATHI is in
the process of implementing a comprehensive quality control system that
conforms with the internationally recognized ISO 9002 standards.

ATHI's after sale services form an integral part of its operation. ATHI
offers a wide range of after sales services to its customers. These
services include: technical support; processing of inquires and feedback
from customers and visits to customers in order to identify customer'
specific needs and level of satisfaction with its products.
