Note - D The provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128
("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share" are effective for financial statements issued
for  interim  and annual  periods  ending  after  December  15,  1997.  SFAS 128
simplifies  the standards for computing  earnings per share and makes the United
States  earnings  per share  accounting  standard  comparable  to  international
standards.  The  Company  believes  that the  adoption  of SFAS 128  would  have
increased reported earnings per share by $.01 and $.02 for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively,  and $.01 for each the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and
               Results of Operations

The   Company's   operating   performance   is  subject  to  various  risks  and
uncertainties.  This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction  with the
consolidated financial statements,  the notes thereto,  Management's  Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31,
1996 and "Risk Factors" as reported in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Matters discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q include forward  looking  statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended and
Section 21E of the  Securities  Act of 1934, as amended,  and are subject to the
safe harbor provisions of those Sections. The Company's future operating results
could differ  materially from those discussed in the forward looking  statements
and may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company's
control.  These  include,  among other  factors,  general  business and economic
conditions,  rapid or unexpected changes in technologies,  cancellation or delay
of customer orders,  changes in the product or customer mix of sales,  delays in
new product development, customer acceptance of new products and customer delays
in qualification of products.


Overview

The Company  achieved  record sales and net income for the third quarter and for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1997. Net income for the third quarter 1997
increased  by 54% to  $1,402,000  and net  income  for  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997  increased  37% to  $3,714,000 as compared to the  respective
1996 periods. At September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $19.3 million
in cash and marketable securities, no significant debt and generated income from
operations excluding  depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997  of  approximately   $6.4  million  as  compared  to
approximately $4.5 million for the same period in 1996.

On September 15, 1997, the Company  effected a three-for-two  stock split in the
form of a 50% stock dividend which increased the number of shares outstanding to
7.2 million  shares.  Management  believes that  increasing the number of shares
available in the financial market will benefit the Company's stockholders and is
part of an active program to broaden the Company's  stockholder base. By the end
of the third  quarter,  the Company's  market  capitalization  had exceeded $100
million. Management believes this is significant to the investment community and
ultimately to its stockholders as many institutional  investors are unwilling to
invest in companies with a market capitalization of less than $100 million.

The  Company's  revenues are  generated  from  products  designed to enhance the
performance of network systems based on varied computer architectures  including
VMEbus,  SBus and PCIbus.  The Company's  products operate on various  operating
systems  including UNIX,  Solaris(TM),  SunOS(TM),  Windows NT(TM),  VxWorks and
LINUX.  During the third quarter of 1997, the Company has  introduced  PCI-based
LAN,  WAN and Mass Storage  products  that  support the new  PCI-based  Ultra 30
workstations  introduced  by Sun  Microsystems,  Inc.;  Mass Storage  Ultra SCSI
Adapters and three new fast Ethernet network switch  products.  These new switch
products  have not only  expanded  the  Nebula(TM)  product  line  with the next
generation  of fast  Ethernet  products but also  incorporate  features for high
reliability and fault  tolerance.  These products were launched in early October
at the Networld+InterOp  trade show in Atlanta and are designed specifically for
business and mission  critical  environments.  Beta units of these new switching
products are expected to be shipped by year-end with  production  units shipping
in March or April of next year.

In September,  the Company's  Controller Products Group presented its new PCIbus
WAN and LAN communications and mass storage products at the IT Forum in New York
City. In addition,  in mid-October the Company  announced three new products for
the new emerging  Compact PCI market.  These  products are a WAN  Communications
Controller,  T1/E1 Primary Rate WAN Communication  Controller,  and WAN Protocol
Engine.  Availability  of these  products is  scheduled  for  December  1997 and
January 1998.

The Company has recently been featured in a number of publications  including an
article in the  Investor's  Business  Daily on  September  10th titled  "Finding
Growth in Ultra-High-Tech Markets". For the second consecutive year, Performance
Technologies  was recognized on the Forbes  Magazine list of the "Best 200 Small
Companies in America."

         Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997, compared with
              the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

         SALES.  Sales for the third  quarter of 1997  increased  by  $1,194,000
(18.6%) to $7,606,000,  from $6,412,000 for the third quarter of 1996. Sales for
the nine months ended  September  30, 1997  increased by  $4,167,000  (22.6%) to
$22,579,000,  from $18,412,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
Company's  products  are grouped into five  categories:  WAN  Interface  Adapter
products, LAN Interface Adapter products, Network Systems products, Mass Storage
Interface products and Inter-system Connectivity products.

Shipments  of WAN Adapter  products  amounted  to 47% of sales  during the third
quarter of 1997, compared to 41% for the same period in 1996. Shipments were 47%
of sales for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and were 43% of sales for
the comparable  1996 period.  Sales of WAN products  increased 35% for the third
quarter and 33%  year-to-date in 1997,  over the respective  1996 periods.  This
increase  is  attributable  to  introductions  over the last  twelve to eighteen
months of several new WAN  products  and several new OEM  customers  integrating
these products into their product applications.

Shipments of LAN Adapter  products for the third quarter of 1997 amounted to 15%
of sales,  compared to 18% for the third quarter of 1996,  and were 17% of sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 22% for the first nine
months of 1996.  The largest  share of the  Company's  LAN business is generated
from Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Defense applications. This project-oriented
business is difficult to predict on a quarterly  basis.  Management  expects the
dollar volume of this  business to meet or slightly  exceed last year's level of
sales.

Shipments  of Network  Systems  products  represented  11% of total sales in the
third quarter of 1997 and 15% for same period in 1996. Network Systems shipments
were 11% of total sales for each of the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996.  For the third  quarter of 1997,  revenues from Network  Systems  products
increased  from the second  quarter level because a component  design change was
successfully  resolved.  However,  the Radar protocol  software  business in the
Company's UCONx subsidiary was less than forecast.  The Radar protocol  business
is typically project-oriented and can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Shipments  of Mass  Storage  Interface  products  for the third  quarter of 1997
amounted to 14% of sales,  compared to 16% in the third quarter of 1996. For the
nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  Mass Storage  products were 16% of total
sales compared to 15% for the same 1996 period.  Sales of Mass Storage Interface
products  increased  26% for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 over the
respective 1996 period.  The increase in sales volume is primarily  attributable
to the Company's Ultra SCSI interface product introduced in mid 1996.

Shipments of Inter-system Connectivity products represented 13% of sales for the
third quarter of 1997 and 9% of total sales for the nine months ended  September
30, 1997, compared to 10% and 9%, respectively for the 1996 periods. The Company
is not  investing in this group of products  and a decline in these  revenues is
expected from last year's levels.

International  sales  amounted to 10% of total  sales for the first nine  months
of 1997,  compared to 11% of sales for all of 1996.

         GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit consists of sales,  less cost of goods sold
including materials costs,  manufacturing  expenses and amortization of software
development  costs.  Gross  margin  improved  to 57.1% of  sales  for the  third
quarter,  from 54.7% in the third quarter of 1996.  For the first nine months of
1997 gross  margin  improved to 57.4% of sales as compared to 56.5% for the same
period in 1996.  The  improved  margin is primarily  attributable  to the mix of
product shipments for the quarter and manufacturing and purchasing  efficiencies
attributable to higher volumes.

         OPERATING  EXPENSES.  Total operating expenses increased to $2,347,000,
or 30.9% of sales for the third quarter 1997, from $2,252,000, or 35.1% of sales
for  the  comparable  1996  quarter.   Total  operating  expenses  increased  to
$7,700,000,  or  34.1%  of  sales  for the  first  nine  months  of  1997,  from
$6,536,000, or 35.5% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Selling and marketing  expenses  increased to $1,004,000,  or 13.2% of sales for
the third quarter 1997, from $732,000, or 11.4% of sales for the same quarter in
1996. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $3,015,000,  or 13.4% of sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from $2,300,000, or 12.5% of sales
for the first nine months of 1996. Beginning in late 1996, the Company increased
spending in its  marketing  program for industry  trade shows,  etc. in order to
promote its new product introductions.

Research and development expenses were $791,000, or 10.4% of sales for the third
quarter of 1997, compared to $801,000, or 12.5% of sales for the comparable 1996
quarter.  Research and development  expenses were $2,705,000,  or 12.0% of sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,  compared to $2,124,000,  or 11.5%
of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Research and development
expenses  consist  primarily  of  employee  salary and  benefit  costs,  cost of
materials consumed in developing and designing new products and contract product
development.  Certain  engineering  expenses  associated with the development of
software are  capitalized  and amortized to cost of goods sold.  The net benefit
derived from the  capitalization  of certain software  development  costs,  less
applicable  amortization,  amounted  to  $119,000  for  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997,  compared to $38,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.  The  increase of research  and  development  expenses for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 is attributable to
hiring  engineers  needed to accelerate the  development of new products and the
development  of a new network ASIC  developed in connection  with the new switch
products.  As expected,  research and development expenses declined in the third
quarter  1997 from the  second  quarter,  because  development  on  certain  new
products was completed early in the third quarter.

General and  administrative  expenses  were  $552,000,  or 7.3% of sales for the
third  quarter  1997,  compared  to  $719,000,  or 11.2% of sales  for the third
quarter 1996.  General and administrative  expenses were $1,980,000,  or 8.8% of
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,  compared to $2,112,000,  or
11.5% of sales for the first nine  months of 1996.  The  decrease in general and
administrative  expenses  for  the  third  quarter  1997,  compared  to  1996 is
primarily  attributable  to the Company  recognizing a benefit of  approximately
$130,000 as a result of a state sales tax audit.

         INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes was $860,000 in the third
quarter  of 1997,  compared  to  $544,000  for the  same  quarter  in 1996.  The
effective  corporate  income  tax rate for the third  quarter of 1997 was 38.0%,
compared  to 37.4% for the third  quarter  of 1996.  For the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1997,  the  provision  for income taxes  amounted to  $2,278,000,
compared  to  $1,631,000  for the  first  nine  months  of 1996.  The  effective
corporate income tax rate was 38.0%, compared to 37.3% for the first nine months
of 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1997, the Company's  primary source of liquidity  included cash
and cash  equivalents of $6,638,000,  marketable  securities  with a maturity of
less than one year of $12,614,000 and available borrowings of $3,000,000 under a
revolving  credit facility with a bank. No amounts were  outstanding  under this
credit  facility as of September  30, 1997.  The Company had working  capital of
$24,862,000  at September 30, 1997, as compared to  $23,223,000 at June 30, 1997
and $20,965,000 at December 31, 1996.

Cash provided by operating  activities  for the nine months ended  September 30,
1997 was  $4,074,000,  compared to $2,761,000 for the same period in 1996.  Cash
used in investing  activities was $7,505,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997,  compared to $999,000 for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997,  investing  activities included
the  purchase of  marketable  securities  of  $6,512,000  and capital  equipment
purchases  of  $456,000.   Capital  equipment  purchases  consist  primarily  of
manufacturing  equipment,  office  equipment and computer and related  equipment
used in  engineering  . During the nine months ended  September  30, 1996,  cash
payments  of  $93,000  were  made to  purchase  the  remaining  interest  in its
subsidiary, UCONx Corporation.

Cash provided by financing  activities  for the nine months ended  September 30,
1997 was $42,000 as  compared  to  $11,384,000  of cash  provided  by  financing
activities  for the same period in 1996.  During the first quarter of 1996,  the
Company completed its initial public offering of Common Stock.

Many companies are facing a potential issue regarding the ability of information
systems to  accommodate  the coming  year 2000.  The Company is  evaluating  its
information  systems and believes that all critical systems can, or will be able
to  accommodate  the  coming  century  without  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's  financial  condition,  results of  operations,  capital  spending  or
competitive position.

Assuming there is no significant  change in the Company's  business,  management
believes  that its current cash and  marketable  securities  together  with cash
generated  from  operations  and available  borrowings  under the Company's loan
agreement will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated needs,  including
working  capital and  capital  expenditure  requirements,  for at least the next
twelve months. However, it is the Company's intention to continue aggressive new
product  introductions  for the remainder of 1997 and into 1998 for a variety of
markets served by the Company.  Management has initiated a strategic acquisition
program to further accelerate new product and market penetration  efforts.  This
program  could have an impact on the  Company's  working  capital  requirements,
liquidity or capital resources.
