                          MARCH 29, 1997

     Statements in this report concerning the future financial condition, 
results of operations and business of the Company are "forward-looking" 
statements as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934. Investors are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are 
inherently uncertain, and that actual performance and results are subject to 
many risk factors, including the Company's dependence on the integrated 
circuit package industry, the Company's dependence on its principal customers 
and independent distributors, fluctuations in demand for the Company's 
products, patent litigation involving the Company, rapid technological 
evolution in the electronics industry, and the like. The Company's filings 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its 1996 Form 10-K, 
contain additional information concerning such risk factors, and copies of 
these filings are available from the Company upon request and without charge.

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    (March 29, 1997 Unaudited)

Note 1.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been 
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations 
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the 
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
This financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited financial 
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996 which are 
included in the Company's Form 10-K filing. Results for the interim period 
presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for the 
entire year.

Note 2.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number 
of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents 
from the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method).  Fully 
diluted and primary net income per common share were the same for each period 
presented.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, ("FAS 
128") which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure 
requirements of earnings per share and is effective for financial statements 
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  The Company has not yet 
determined the impact of FAS 128 on net income per share.

Note 4. LITIGATION

     On August 21, 1995, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, CTi 
Technologies, Inc. ("CTi"), filed an action in the United States District 
Court for the District of Arizona seeking a declaratory judgment against Wayne 
K. Pfaff, an individual residing in Texas ("Pfaff"), and Plastronics Socket 
Company, Inc., a corporation affiliated with Pfaff, alleging and seeking a 
declaratory judgment that two United States patents issued to Pfaff and 
relating to certain burn-in sockets for "leadless" IC packages (the "Pfaff 
Leadless Patent") and ball grid array ("BGA") IC packages (the "Pfaff BGA 
Patent") (collectively, the "Pfaff Patents") are invalid and are not infringed 
by CTi, the products of which include burn-in sockets for certain "leaded" 
packages (including Quad Flat Paks)(the "CTi Leaded Products") and BGA 
packages (the "Cti BGA Products")(collectively, the "CTi Products"). Pfaff has 
filed a counterclaim alleging that CTi infringes the Pfaff Leadless Patent and 
has requested an award of damages; the counterclaim does not allege 
infringement of the Pfaff BGA Patent. Pfaff has also sought a permanent 
injunction against further infringement by CTi of the Pfaff Leadless Patent.

     The Company understands that Pfaff has been issued patents  for the 
inventions covered by the Pfaff Leadless Patents in Germany, France, Great 
Britain, Japan and Malaysia (together with the United States, the 
"Territory").  Revenue from sales of CTi Leaded Products in the Territory in 
1996 and 1995 was approximately $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, 
which represented approximately 7% and 23% of the Company's net sales in 1996 
and 1995, respectively.  The CTi BGA Products will not make a significant 
contribution to revenues of the Company until years subsequent to 1996.  The 
Pfaff Leadless Patent has been the subject of earlier litigation initiated by 
Pfaff against a burn-in connector manufacturer unrelated to the Company, Wells 
Electronics, Inc. ("Wells"), in which Pfaff alleged that the manufacture and 
sale of a wide range of Wells products infringed the Pfaff Leadless Patent. 
Included among the Wells products covered by the Pfaff litigation was a group 
of burn-in sockets produced by Wells for certain leaded packages (the "Wells 
Leaded Products"). The Wells Leaded Products compete directly with CTi Leaded 
Products and accept similar IC packages. The Company believes that Pfaff may 
assert in CTi's litigation with Pfaff that Wells Leaded Products are similar 
in design to CTi Leaded Products. In October 1995, the United States District 
Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Texas Court") found certain 
claims in the Pfaff Leadless Patent to be invalid, but found other claims in 
the patent not to be invalid and to be infringed by certain Wells products, 
including the Wells Leaded Products. On December 19, 1995, the Texas Court 
issued a permanent injunction against the manufacture and sale by Wells of the 
products found to be infringing. In January 1996, the United 

                              7
<PAGE>
States Court of Appeals (Federal Circuit) stayed the injunction, pending 
appeal, based on its finding that Wells had demonstrated that it is likely to 
succeed in its contention that the Pfaff Leadless Patent is invalid. In that 
appeal, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument in October 
1996, but has not issued a decision.  The Pfaff BGA Patent was not involved in 
the Pfaff/Wells litigation.

     The CTi-Pfaff action in the District of Arizona has been stayed pending 
the outcome of the appeal from the Pfaff-Wells case.  Should the Pfaff 
Leadless Patent be found invalid in that appeal then Pfaff will be unable to 
assert that patent against CTi.  Should the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals 
find the patent not to be invalid, then the litigation in the District of 
Arizona will go forward to determine whether or not the CTi Leaded Products 
infringe the Pfaff patent.  The Company believes, based on the advice of 
counsel, that CTi has meritorious defenses against any claim that CTi Products 
infringe the Pfaff Patents, and CTi intends to prosecute and defend vigorously 
its position in its declaratory judgment action and any related or subsequent 
litigation. Although Wells invoked similar defenses on the Pfaff Leadless 
Patent in its lawsuit with Pfaff, the Company believes that CTi will be better 
positioned to present these defenses. There can be no assurance, however, that 
the Company or CTi will prevail in pending or any future litigation with 
Pfaff, and an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on the 
financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. Such 
adverse effect could include, without limitation, the requirement that CTi pay 
substantial damages for past  infringement and an injunction against the 
manufacture or sale in the United States of such products as are found to be 
infringing.

decrease of 12% from $7.1 million in the year-earlier period.  This decline 
was primarily in the two product lines that service the semiconductor 
industry, burn-in and production/PLD products.  These two product lines are 
down as the impact of the downturn in the semiconductor market had only slowed 
shipments moderately in the first quarter of 1996.  However volume in both of 
these product lines increased over the fourth quarter of 1996, confirming the 
positive trend seen in the bookings' pattern.  In addition, the industrial 
terminal block

                              8

product line favorably offset some of the above referenced decline.

          Customer bookings for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 were $6.2 
million, down 20% compared to orders of $7.8 million in the year-earlier 
period and up slightly from orders of $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 
1996.  On a year-to-year comparative basis, the decrease in customer orders 
was due primarily to the erratic bookings pattern experienced in 1996 by two 
of our largest customers effecting the production/PLD and avionic product 
lines.  While orders for these two customers were below those of the 
year-earlier period, their bookings outlook remains favorable.  The Company 
ended the quarter with an order backlog of $7.3 million which remained 
unchanged from that of the end of the fourth quarter of 1996.

     Gross profits for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 amounted to $3.0 
million or 47.5% of net sales, compared to $3.2 million or 45.6% of net sales 
in the year-earlier period. This increase in gross profit as a percentage of 
net sales in the quarter from the prior period relates primarily to the 
absence of a one-time expense for product development in the burn-in socket 
product category in the first quarter of 1996.  In addition, gross profit was 
favorably impacted by efficiency gains in our primary processes.

     Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1997 were $1.4 million, or 
21.8% of net sales, a decrease of $0.1 million or approximately 10% compared 
to expenses of $1.5 million or 21.1% of net sales in the year-earlier period. 
This decrease was in line with the Company's plan and it reflects our ongoing 
efforts in cost containment.

     Other income increased to $261 thousand for the first quarter of 1997 
compared to $54 thousand for the year-earlier period. Other income consists 
primarily of interest income.

     The effective rate for income taxes for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 
declined to 36.8% from 37% for the year-earlier period. The effective rate for 
income taxes was down due to the effect of establishing a foreign sales 
corporation (FSC)during the first quarter of 1997 to take advantage of 
favorable federal tax laws for revenue and the related profits associated with 
sales to foreign corporations.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

     As of March 29, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of 
approximately $20.7 million and working capital of approximately $24.4 
million. Cash provided by operating


                              9
<PAGE>
activities totaled $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 compared 
to $1.2 million in the year-earlier period. 

     Capital expenditures were $0.4 million for the first quarter of 1997 and 
are expected to reach $2.3 million this year, up from $1.9 million for the 
year 1996.

     The Company believes that funds generated from operations together with 
the net proceeds of the offering and existing cash balances will be sufficient 
to meet the Company's cash requirements at least through 1997.
