THERMO VOLTEK CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General
The interim consolidated financial statements presented have been
prepared by Thermo Voltek Corp. (the Company) without audit and, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring
nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at
September 28, 1996, the results of operations for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995, and
the cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 28, 1996 and
September 30, 1995. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year.
The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 30, 1995,
has been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have
been audited by the Company's independent public accountants. The
consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by
Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual
financial statements and notes of the Company. The consolidated financial
statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Stock Split
All share and per share information, except for share information in
the accompanying 1995 balance sheet, has been restated to reflect a
three-for-two stock split, effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend,
distributed in August 1996.
3. Acquisition
In July 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets,
subject to certain liabilities, of Pacific Power Source Corporation
(Pacific Power) for approximately $6.3 million in cash, including the
repayment of $800,000 in debt. Pacific Power manufactures programmable
power amplifiers that can be incorporated into electromagnetic
compatibility test equipment to assess how well electronics tolerate
normal variations in the quality and quantity of AC voltage. These
amplifiers are also used in other kinds of test equipment and in
application-specific power supplies.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and Pacific Power's results of operations have been included
in the accompanying financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The cost of this acquisition exceeded the estimated fair value of
acquired net assets by approximately $4.7 million, which is being
amortized over 40 years. Allocation of the purchase price was based on an
8PAGE

THERMO VOLTEK CORP.

estimate of the fair value of the net assets acquired and is subject to
adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. Pro forma
data is not presented since the acquisition was not material to the
Company's results of operations and financial position.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including
those detailed in Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Description of Business
The Company designs, manufactures, and markets instruments that test
electronic and electrical systems and components for immunity to pulsed
electromagnetic interference (pulsed EMI) through its KeyTek Instrument
division (KeyTek); designs, manufactures, and markets high-voltage
power-conversion systems, modulators, fast-response protection systems,
and related high-voltage equipment for industrial, medical, and
environmental processes, and for defense and scientific research
applications, through its Universal Voltronics division; and designs,
manufactures, and markets radio frequency power amplifiers and systems
used to test products for immunity to radiated or conducted radio
frequency interference and for medical imaging and telecommunications
applications, through its Kalmus division. Through its Comtest
Instrumentation B.V. and Comtest Limited subsidiaries (collectively,
Comtest), the Company provides electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
consulting and systems-integration services, distributes a range of
EMC-related products, and manufactures and markets specialized power
supplies for telecommunications equipment. Comtest's Verifier division
and KeyTek manufacture a line of electrostatic discharge and other
component reliability test equipment that performs electrical stress
tests for semiconductor devices. Pacific Power Source Corporation
(Pacific Power) manufactures AC/DC power conversion products for both the
EMC market and specific OEM applications in the instrumentation,
research, government, and communications industry segments.
Results of Operations
Third Quarter 1996 Compared With Third Quarter 1995
Revenues increased 36% to $12,800,000 in the third quarter of 1996
from $9,442,000 in the third quarter of 1995. The increase reflects the
inclusion of $1,450,000 in revenues from Pacific Power, which was
acquired in July 1996, as well as increases in revenues at Comtest,
KeyTek, and Kalmus. The increase in revenues at Comtest resulted
primarily from an increase in demand for Verifier's electrostatic-
discharge test equipment, as well as an increase in revenues from a radio
9PAGE
<PAGE>
THERMO VOLTEK CORP.
Third Quarter 1996 Compared With Third Quarter 1995 (continued)
frequency interference immunity tester product line that was introduced
in 1995. Increased revenues at KeyTek resulted primarily from greater
demand for its EMC test equipment. Kalmus increased shipments during the
quarter, relative to prior periods, due to the implementation of
manufacturing efficiencies.
The gross profit margin was 49% in the third quarter of 1996 and
1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 30% in the third quarter of 1996 from 33% in the
third quarter of 1995, primarily due to an increase in revenues. Research
and development expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 7.9% in
the third quarter of 1996 from 6.6% in the third quarter of 1995,
principally due to higher research and development expenses at Keytek.
Interest income decreased to $399,000 in the third quarter of 1996
from $514,000 in the third quarter of 1995, primarily due to lower
average invested balances. Interest expense decreased to $297,000 in the
third quarter of 1996 from $509,000 in the third quarter of 1995,
primarily due to conversions of the Company's subordinated convertible
obligations during 1995 and 1996.
The effective tax rate was 27% and 18% in the third quarter of 1996
and 1995, respectively. The effective tax rates were below the statutory
federal income tax rate due primarily to the utilization of tax net
operating loss carryforwards, offset in part by the impact of state
income taxes. The effective tax rate increased in 1996 as the result of a
decrease in tax net operating loss carryforwards as a percentage of
income before provision for income taxes.
First Nine Months 1996 Compared With First Nine Months 1995
Revenues increased 40% to $35,303,000 in the first nine months of
1996 from $25,304,000 in the first nine months of 1995, due to increases
in revenues at Comtest, KeyTek, and Kalmus, and from the inclusion of
$1,450,000 in revenues from Pacific Power, which was acquired in July
1996. Revenues at Comtest and Keytek increased for the reasons discussed
in the results of operations for the third quarter. Revenues at Kalmus,
which was acquired in March 1995, increased $1,126,000 due to the
inclusion of revenues for the full nine months of 1996 and $1,283,000 for
the reasons discussed in the results of operations for the third quarter.
The gross profit margin increased to 49% in the first nine months of
1996 from 48% in the first nine months of 1995, primarily due to an
increase in higher-margin domestic sales at KeyTek and the inclusion of
higher-margin Kalmus revenues for the full nine months of 1996.

<PAGE>
THERMO VOLTEK CORP.
First Nine Months 1996 Compared With First Nine Months 1995 (continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 30% in the first nine months of 1996 from 33% in
the first nine months of 1995, primarily due to an increase in revenues.
Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues increased
to 7.2% in the first nine months of 1996 from 6.6% in the first nine
months of 1995, principally due to higher research and development
expenses at KeyTek.
Interest income decreased to $1,393,000 in the first nine months of
1996 from $1,547,000 in the first nine months of 1995. Interest expense
decreased to $1,134,000 in the first nine months of 1996 from $1,643,000
in the first nine months of 1995. The reasons for these decreases are the
same as those discussed in the results of operations for the third
quarter.
The effective tax rate was 26% and 20% in the first nine months of
1996 and 1995, respectively. The effective tax rates were below the
statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to the utilization of tax
net operating loss carryforwards, offset in part by the impact of state
income taxes. The effective tax rate increased in 1996 for the reason
discussed in the results of operations for the third quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital was $40,277,000 at September 28, 1996, compared with
$41,826,000 at December 30, 1995. Included in working capital are cash,
cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investments of $28,444,000 at
September 28, 1996, compared with $34,689,000 at December 30, 1995.
During the first nine months of 1996, $1,299,000 of cash was provided by
operating activities. Cash flow from operations was reduced by an
increase in accounts receivable, which resulted primarily from an
increase in revenues.
In July 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets,
subject to certain liabilities, of Pacific Power for approximately $6.3
million in cash, including the repayment of $800,000 in debt (Note 3).
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company expended
$1,331,000 for purchases of property, plant and equipment. During the
remainder of 1996, the Company expects to make capital expenditures of
approximately $300,000. The Company believes that its existing resources
are sufficient to meet the capital requirements of its existing
operations for the foreseeable future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On August 8, 1996, at a special meeting of shareholders, the
Company's shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company's
authorized common stock, $.05 par value per share, from 10 million shares
to 25 million shares as follows: 5,200,759 shares voted in favor, 204,034
shares voted against, and 8,293 shares abstained. No broker nonvotes were
recorded on the proposal.
Item 5 - Other Information
In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company wishes to caution
readers that the following important factors, among others, in some cases
have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's actual
results and could cause its actual results in 1996 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made
by, or on behalf of, the Company.
Rapid Technological Change. The market for EMC testing products and
services is characterized by rapid technological change. No assurance can
be given that the Company will be able to develop new and enhanced
instruments that keep pace with technological developments and respond to
the increasingly complex requirements of electronics manufacturers.
Reliance on Electrical Standards. Demand for the Company's EMC
testing products and services is driven to a large extent by mandatory
government standards and voluntary industry standards relating to
electromagnetic compatibility. In particular, demand for the Company's
products results from efforts by manufacturers to comply with IEC 801, an
EC directive that became effective on January 1, 1996. Although many
manufacturers have not yet complied with IEC 801, as the number of
noncomplying manufacturers is reduced over time, demand for the Company's
products could be adversely affected. In addition, if new EMC standards
requiring new testing capabilities are enacted less frequently or if EMC
standards become less strict, demand for the Company's products could be
adversely affected.
Sole Source Suppliers. A number of the components of the Company's
EMC testing products are supplied by single vendors. While the Company
has not experienced significant difficulty in obtaining adequate supplies
from these vendors, and believes that it would be able to identify
alternative suppliers if necessary, there can be no assurance that the
unanticipated loss of a single vendor would not result in delays in
shipments or in the introduction of new products.
International Sales. International sales account for a significant
portion of the Company's revenues. Sales to customers in certain foreign
countries are subject to a number of risks, including the following:
agreements may be difficult to enforce, and receivables difficult to
collect, through a foreign country's legal system; foreign customers may
have longer payment cycles; foreign countries could impose withholding
12PAGE
<PAGE>
THERMO VOLTEK CORP.
Item 5 - Other Information (continued)
taxes or otherwise tax the Company's foreign income, impose tariffs,
embargoes or exchange controls or adopt other restrictions on foreign
trade; and export licenses, if required, may be difficult to obtain. In
addition, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have an
adverse impact on international sales.
Risks Associated With Acquisition Strategy. The Company's strategy
includes the acquisition of businesses and technologies that complement
or augment the Company's existing product lines. Promising acquisitions
are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including
competition among prospective buyers and the need for regulatory
approval, including antitrust approvals. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to complete future acquisitions or that the
Company will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business. In
order to finance such acquisitions, it may be necessary for the Company
to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Any
equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be on terms which are
not favorable to the Company and, in the case of equity financing, may
result in dilution to the Company's stockholders.

Company: Thermo Voltek Corp., a Delaware corporation.
Guidelines: The Stock Holdings Guidelines for Key Employees
of the Company, as established by the Committee from time to
time.
Key Employee: Any employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, including any officer or member of the Board of
Directors who is also an employee, as designated by the
Committee, and who, in the judgment of the Committee, will be in
a position to contribute significantly to the attainment of the
Company's strategic goals and long-term growth and prosperity.
Loans: Loans extended to Key Employees by the Company
pursuant to this Plan.
Plan: The Thermo Voltek Corp. Stock Holdings Assistance
Plan, as amended from time to time.
SECTION 3. Administration.
The Plan and the Guidelines shall be administered by the
Committee, which shall have authority to interpret the Plan and
the Guidelines and, subject to their provisions, to prescribe,
amend and rescind any rules and regulations and to make all other
determinations necessary or desirable for the administration
thereof. The Committee's interpretations and decisions with
regard to the Plan and the Guidelines and such rules and
regulations as may be established thereunder shall be final and
conclusive. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any
PAGE
<PAGE>
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or the
Guidelines, or in any Loan in the manner and to the extent the
Committee deems desirable to carry it into effect. No member of
the Committee shall be liable for any action or omission in
connection with the Plan or the Guidelines that is made in good
faith.
SECTION 4. Loans and Loan Limits.
The Committee has determined that the provision of Loans
from time to time to Key Employees in such amounts as to cause
such Key Employees to comply with the Guidelines is, in the
judgment of the Committee, reasonably expected to benefit the
Company and authorizes the Company to extend Loans from time to
time to Key Employees in such amounts as may be requested by such
Key Employees in order to comply with the Guidelines. Such Loans
may be used solely for the purpose of acquiring Common Stock
(other than upon the exercise of stock options or under employee
stock purchase plans) in open market transactions or from the
Company.
Each Loan shall be full recourse and evidenced by a
non-interest bearing promissory note substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Note") and maturing in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof, and
containing such other terms and conditions, which are not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and the Guidelines,
as the Committee shall determine in its sole and absolute
discretion.
SECTION 5. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Loans.
For federal income tax purposes, interest on Loans shall be
imputed on any interest free Loan extended under the Plan. A Key
Employee shall be deemed to have paid the imputed interest to the
Company and the Company shall be deemed to have paid said imputed
interest back to the Key Employee as additional compensation.
The deemed interest payment shall be taxable to the Company as
income, and may be deductible to the Key Employee to the extent
allowable under the rules relating to investment interest. The
deemed compensation payment to the Key Employee shall be taxable
to the employee and deductible to the Company, but shall also be
subject to employment taxes such as FICA and FUTA.
SECTION 6. Maturity of Loans.
Each Loan to a Key Employee hereunder shall be due and
payable on demand by the Company. If no such demand is made,
then each Loan shall mature and the principal thereof shall
become due and payable in five equal annual installments
commencing on the first anniversary date of the making of such
Loan. Each Loan shall also become immediately due and payable in
full, without demand, upon the occurrence of any of the events
set forth in the Note; provided that the Committee may, in its
2PAGE
<PAGE>
sole and absolute discretion, authorize an extension of the time
for repayment of a Loan upon such terms and conditions as the
Committee may determine.
3PAGE
<PAGE>
SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
The Committee may from time to time alter or amend the Plan
or the Guidelines in any respect, or terminate the Plan or the
Guidelines at any time. No such amendment or termination,
however, shall alter or otherwise affect the terms and conditions
of any Loan then outstanding to Key Employee without such Key
Employee's written consent, except as otherwise provided herein
or in the promissory note evidencing such Loan.
SECTION 8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) No employee or other person shall have any claim or
right to receive a Loan under the Plan, and no employee shall
have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company due to
his or her participation in the Plan.
(b) No Loan shall be made hereunder unless counsel for the
Company shall be satisfied that such Loan will be in compliance
with applicable federal, state and local laws.
(c) The expenses of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
(d) The Plan shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not
be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make
any other segregation of assets to assure the making of any Loan
under the Plan.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof, by
accepting any Loan under the Plan, each Key Employee shall be
conclusively deemed to have indicated his acceptance and
ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan
or the Guidelines by the Company, the Board of Directors of the
Company or the Committee.
(f) The appropriate officers of the Company shall cause to
be filed any reports, returns or other information regarding
Loans hereunder, as may be required by any applicable statute,
rule or regulation.
SECTION 9. Effective Date.
The Plan and the Guidelines shall become effective upon
approval and adoption by the Committee.

In case any payment herein provided for shall not be paid

omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or
waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion.
The Employee hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of
prepayment, protest and all other demands and notices in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or
