Item 1. Business

INTRODUCTION

Micropac Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, manufactures and distributes various types of hybrid microelectronic circuits, solid state relays, power operational amplifiers, and optoelectronic components and assemblies. The Company's products are used as components in a broad range of military, space and industrial systems, including aircraft instrumentation and navigation systems, power supplies, electronic controls, computers, medical devices, and high-temperature (200o C) products.

The Company's facilities are certified and qualified by Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) to MIL-PRF-38534 (class K-space level); MIL-PRF-19500 JANS (space level), MIL-PRF-28750 (class K space level) and is certified to ISO 9001-2002. Micropac is a NASA core supplier, and is certified to AS9100-Aerospace Industry standard for supplier certification.

The business was started in 1963 as a sole proprietorship. On March 3, 1969, the Company was incorporated under the name of "Micropac Industries, Inc." in the state of Delaware. The stock was publicly held by 559 shareholders on November 30, 2004.

PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES

The Company's products are either custom (being application specific circuits designed and manufactured to meet the particular requirements of a single customer) or standard, proprietary components such as catalog items. Custom-designed components are estimated to account for approximately 50% of the Company's sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004, and 52% in fiscal 2003; standard components are estimated to account for approximately 50% of the Company's sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004, and 48% for fiscal 2003.

Micropac Industries, Inc. provides microelectronic and optoelectronic components and assemblies along with contract electronic manufacturing services and offers a wide range of products sold to the industrial, medical, military, aerospace and space markets.

The Company's core technology is the packaging and interconnect of miniature electronic components, utilizing thick film and thin film substrates, forming microelectronics circuits. Other technologies include light emitting and light sensitive materials and products, including light emitting diodes and silicon phototransistors used in the Company's optoelectronic components, and assemblies. The Company's basic products and technologies include: Custom design hybrid microelectronic circuits Solid state relays and power controllers Custom optoelectronic assemblies and components Optocouplers Light-emitting diodes Hall-Effect devices Displays Power operational amplifiers Fiber optic components and assemblies High temperature (200(0) C) products

Micropac's products are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) who serve the following major markets: Military/Aerospace - aircraft instrumentation, guidance and navigations systems, control circuitry, power supplies, laser positioning Space - control circuitry, power monitoring and sensing Industrial - power control equipment, robotics Medical

The Company's major customers are Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, BAE, Honeywell, Rockwell Int'l, Newport, Advanced Energy, and St. Jude.

The Company has no patents, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts. The Company's trademark "MII" is registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Sales of our products internationally are subject to government regulations, including export control regulations of the U.S. Department of State and Department of Commerce. Violation of these regulations by the company could result in monetary penalties and denial of export privileges. We are not aware of any violations of export control regulations.

<PAGE>

The Company is not currently impacted by export restrictions on sensitive technology. Five (5) of the Company's principal product families require government approval. Further, a significant portion of our business is military and is dependent on maintaining our facility certification sto MIL-PRF-38534, MIL-PRF-19500 and MIL-PRF-28750. We expect to maintain these certifications and qualifications; however, the loss of any of these ceritifications would have a significant impact on our business.

Government regulations impose certain controls on chemicals used in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Micropac has obtained all the necessary environmental permits, and routinely monitors and reports the wastewater stream results to the local governing agency. Micropac is classified as a small generator of hazardous waste, and the annual cost of complying with the regulations is minimal.

In 2004, the Company's investment in technology through research and development, which was expensed, totaled approximately $438,000 ($303,000 in 2003). The Company's research and development expenditures were directed primarily toward long-term specific customer requirements, some of which have future potential as Micropac proprietary products, and product development and improvement associated with the Company's space level and other high reliability programs.

The Company introduced new Solid State Power controllers as the next generation of solid state relays with enhanced ruggedness and voltage and current carrying capabilities. Micropac's SSPCs feature both an instantaneous over current trip as well as I^2T which compares power used over time. These devices range from 28VDC to 400VDC and from 5A to 40Amps. The SSPC Product Family is fully capable of being Class K screened per MIL-PRF 38534 and come in a Rad Tolerant version. Micropac strives to provide the greatest power density per package volume and strives to meet the stringent efficiency requirements of customers in today's market.

In addition to the Company's investment in research and development, various customers paid the Company approximately $1,500,000 in non-recurring engineering costs associated with the development of custom products for specific applications.

The Company provides a one year warranty from the date of shipment to the original purchaser. The Company is obligated under this warranty to either replace or repair defective goods or refund the purchase price paid by the buyer.

#5 We agree to expand on Markets and Customers on future filings to include additional language as shown below.

The Company's products are marketed throughout the United States and in Western Europe, through a direct technical sales staff, independent representatives and independent stocking distributors. Approximately 25% of the sales for fiscal year 2004 (17% in 2003) were to international customers. Sales to Western European customers are made by independent representatives under the coordination of the Company's office in Bremen, Germany. One major industrial customer has opened an operation in China and during 2004 moved a major part of their domestic operations to China. This customer, Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., accounted for 22% of international sales, and their contract manufacturer in China, Celestica, accounted for 41% of international sales. During 2004, these two customers accounted for 8% and 10% of the Company's total sales compared to 11% and 7% for the year ended November 30, 2003. Advanced Energy has been a major customer since 1996 and averaged 18% of the Company's sales during this10 year period from a high of 20% to a low of 14%.

#6&7 We agree to add Risk factor of major shareholder control on future filings to include additional language as shown below.

RISK FACTORS ------------

Majority Shareholder Control

The majority shareholder has the ability to control the election of the Company's Board of Directors and elect individuals who may be more sympathetic to such majority shareholders' desires and not necessarily sympathetic to the desires of minority shareholders as to the policies and directions of the Company. However, the ability to control the election of the Board of Directors does not modify the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to represent the interests of all shareholders

#8 No change on Pricing - The Company does not have any "material definitive agreements" that were not made in the "ordinary course of business," and any material amendment of such an agreement that provides for obligations that are material to and enforceable against the Company, or rights that are material to the Company and enforceable by the Company. The company assessed materiality on their own considering quantitative and qualitative factors under prevailing legal principles.

<PAGE>

Pricing Pressures.

The Company continues to experience pricing pressures from some of its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers. In some cases, the Company sells product under agreements with OEMs that require the Company, at regular intervals, to review the pricing structure for possible reduction in selling price for future orders. This requires the Company to improve its productivity and to request similar price reduction from its supplier chain. If one or both of the approaches by the Company does not succeed, product gross margins will decrease affecting the Company's net earnings.

# 9 Limited insurance coverage - As stated it is the opinion of the Company's management, and its' insurance advisors, the Company is adequately insured and do not wish to disclose actual policy and coverage amounts

Insurance Coverage

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Garland, Texas and subcontracts some manufacturing to a contract manufacture in Juarez, Mexico. These facilities use industrial machines and chemicals that could provide risks of personal injury and/or property damage. There is no assurance that accidents will not occur. If accidents do occur, the Company could be exposed to substantial liability. The Company has no liability for the Mexico operations. The Company maintains worker's compensation insurance and general liability insurance for protection of its employees and for protection of the Company's assets in Garland, Texas. In addition to the basic policies mentioned, the Company maintains an umbrella policy. The Company reviews all insurance coverage on an annual basis, and makes any necessary adjustments based on risk assessment and changes in its business. In the opinion of the Company's management, and its' insurance advisors, the Company is adequately insured, however the Company's financial position could be materially affected by claims not covered or exceeding coverage currently carried by the Company.

#10 Shortages - no change

Component Shortages or Obsolescence.

The Company relies on suppliers to deliver quality raw materials in a timely and cost effective manner. Most of the materials and components are generally available from multiple sources; however, from time to time vendors do not deliver the product as needed due to manufacturing problems or possibly a decision not to furnish that product in the future. Such interruption of supply or price increases could have a material adverse effect on the Company, however, the Company is not currently materially impacted by materials shortages.

#11 We agree to expand on Competition on future filings to include additional language as shown below.

COMPETITION

The Company competes with two or more companies with respect to each of its major products, including custom hybrid microcircuits, solid state relays and power controllers, optocouplers, light-emitting diodes, light sensitive silicon phototransistors and diodes, hall-effect devices, displays, power operational amplifier, custom optoelectronic components and assemblies. These products and technologies are sold into various markets, including military/aerospace, space, industrial and medical. Some of
