NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

April 3, 1999

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions 
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not 
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally 
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In 
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal 
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have 
been included.  Operating results for the interim periods presented are 
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 
year ending October 2, 1999.  For further information, refer to the 
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company's 
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 1998.

BEI Technologies, Inc. ("Technologies") was incorporated on June 30, 
1997 in the State of Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of BEI 
Electronics, Inc., subsequently renamed BEI Medical Systems Company, 
Inc. ("Electronics").  On September 27, 1997, Electronics distributed 
to holders of Electronics common stock one share of common stock of the 
Company for each share of Electronics common stock held on September 24, 
1997 (the "Distribution").  In connection with the Distribution, 
Electronics transferred to Technologies all of the assets, liabilities 
and operations of its BEI Sensors & Systems Company, Inc. ("Sensors & 
Systems") and Defense Systems Company, Inc. ("Defense Systems") business 
segments.  The operations of Defense Systems were discontinued during 
the third quarter of fiscal year 1998.  The financial position and 
results of operations of Sensors & Systems are presented as continuing 
operations and those of Defense Systems are presented as discontinued 
operations in the applicable periods of the condensed consolidated 
financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations 
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.

Quarters ended April 3, 1999 and April 4, 1998

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999, ended April 3, 1999, 
increased $8.2 million to $39.0 million or 26.6% from $30.8 million 
during the same period in fiscal 1998.

Sales volume increased primarily in  commercial products to domestic and 
foreign automotive customers. In addition, sales volume benefited from 
<PAGE>

increased international sales of traditional motion control sensors 
produced by a French company acquired by the Company during the fourth 
quarter of fiscal 1998.  Sales related to government contracts recovered 
from a lower level in the same period of the prior fiscal year.   This 
sales increase was offset, in part, by declines in domestic commercial 
sales of traditional motion control products, some of which had achieved 
historically high levels of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 
fiscal 1999 increased 0.7 percentage points to 68.5% from 67.8% in the 
comparable period of fiscal 1998, due mainly to the impact of increased 
automotive GyroChip sensor sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net 
sales for automotive sensors decreased from the same quarter of the 
prior year, but the automotive sensor cost of sales percentage remains 
higher than the average cost of sales percentage for the Company.  Sales 
of automotive sensor products increased to 33% of net sales in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1999 from 14% of net sales in the comparable 
period of fiscal 1998.  Accordingly, the total cost of sales percentage 
was negatively impacted. The Company expects continued downward pressure 
on gross profit as a percentage of net sales as automotive sensors 
become a larger portion of the Company's product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net 
sales decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 versus the 
comparable period of fiscal 1998 due to higher sales volume.  Actual 
selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to 
the integration of the recently acquired international operation and to 
a lesser degree due to legal costs associated with trial proceedings in 
the Company's claim against the U.S. Government.

Research, development and related expenses as a percentage of net sales 
for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased slightly from the 
comparable period of fiscal 1998 due to higher sales volume combined 
with only a slight increase in actual research, development and related 
expenses.

Six Months ended April 3, 1999 and April 4, 1998

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1999 increased $16.7 
million or 28.2% to $75.8 million from $59.1 million during the same 
period in fiscal 1998.

The increase was mainly attributable to expanded sales of sensors for 
foreign and domestic automotive customers.  The increase in commercial 
sales to the automotive markets was primarily due to increased sales of 
GyroChip sensors for stability control and, to a lesser degree, an 
increase in sales of memory seat modules and steering sensors. 
International sales also increased for traditional motion control 
products by a French company acquired by the Company during the fourth 
quarter of fiscal 1998.   This sales increase was offset, in part, by 
declines in domestic commercial sales of traditional motion control 
products.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in the first six months of 
fiscal 1999 increased 1.7 percentage points to 68.6% from 66.9% in the 
comparable period of fiscal 1998 due to several factors. Cost of sales 
as a percentage of net sales for automotive sensors decreased slightly 
from the same period of the prior fiscal year, but is higher than the 
average percentage cost of sales for the Company.  Sales of automotive 
products increased to 33%  of total sales in the first six months of 
 fiscal 1999 from 13% of total sales in the first six months of fiscal 
1998.  Accordingly, the average cost of sales percentage was negatively 
impacted, even though cost of sales as a percentage of sales improved 
slightly in most product areas.  The Company expects continued 
downward pressure on gross profit as a percentage of net sales as 
automotive sensors become a larger portion of the Company's product mix.
<PAGE>

Actual selling, general and administrative expenses increased 23.2% from 
the first six months of 1998 which compares favorably to the 28.2% 
increase in sales.  This resulted in a  decrease of 0.8 percentage 
points in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage 
of net sales in the first six months of fiscal 1999 versus the 
comparable period of fiscal 1998.  Increases in selling, general and 
administrative expenses were incurred to support the French operation 
acquired by the Company and to support those Company units with sales 
volumes higher than the prior year.  

Research, development and related expenses as a percentage of net sales 
for the first six months of fiscal 1999 decreased 1.0 percentage points 
from the comparable period of fiscal 1998 due to higher sales volume 
combined with only a slight increase in actual research, development and 
related expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first six months of fiscal 1999, total cash provided by 
operations was $1.1 million.  Cash provided by operations included net 
income of  $1.9 million, adjusted for the positive impact of non-cash 
charges to income from depreciation and amortization of $3.0 million and 
$0.9 million, respectively, and increases to other liabilities and 
accrued expenses of $1.6 million.  Offsetting these items were an 
increase in inventory of $1.9 million and in other current assets of 
$1.1 million, and a decrease in customer advances of $0.2 million. Cash 
used by operations also included a reduction of trade payables of $2.8 
million.

Cash used in investing activities of $3.3 million consisted primarily 
of equipment purchases. 

Cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds 
from a new senior note issuance of $35.0 million and proceeds from long-
term borrowing of $4.0 million.  The proceeds from the new senior note 
issuance plus an additional $0.5 million were used to retire existing 
long-term debt of $35.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. 
During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, another $1.0 million of long-
term debt was retired.  Dividend payments absorbed $0.3 million in cash 
while other financing activities provided $0.2 million.

While the Company believes that its existing cash balances, together 
with cash derived from operating revenues, will be sufficient to meet 
the Company's capital requirements for the next twelve months, the 
Company may need to raise additional funds through public or private 
financing or other arrangements.  There can be no assurance that the 
Company will not require additional funding, or that such additional 
funding, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to the 
Company, or at all.  Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to 
the stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve 
restrictive covenants.

The Company had no material capital commitments at April 3, 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance:  Modification of Management Information Systems

The Company is evaluating the potential impact of what is commonly 
referred to as the "Year 2000" issue, concerning the possible inability 
of certain information systems to properly recognize and process dates 
containing Year 2000 and beyond.  If not corrected, these systems could 
fail or create erroneous results.  The Company has completed an 
assessment of its products and, at this time, does not believe its 
products present any Year 2000 issues.

The Company's management information systems primarily use software 
products purchased from commercial sources without significant 
modification or customization.  Updates to these products are routinely 
installed by the Company to upgrade its systems and correct known faults 
<PAGE>

in the software.  All major systems were reviewed during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1998 for Year 2000 issues by an outside consultant and a report 
was issued to the Board.  Where necessary, the requirements for upgraded 
hardware and software are in the process of implementation by all operating
units and completion is expected by June 1999.  One operating unit is in the
process of converting its existing manufacturing and financial systems, 
including hardware, and expects to be finished in September 1999.  
Approximately $100,000 was incurred for the study and no other 
significant incremental costs were identified with non-routine updates 
that specifically addressed only Year 2000 compliance.  Based on 
currently available information, management does not believe the Year 
2000 matters discussed above related to internal systems or products 
sold to customers will have a material adverse impact on the Company's 
financial condition or operations; however, it is uncertain to what 
extent the Company may be affected by such matters.  In addition, there 
can be no assurance that the failure to ensure Year 2000 capability by 
a supplier or another third party would not have a material adverse 
effect on the Company.

Effects of Inflation

Management believes that, for the periods presented, inflation has not 
had a material effect on the Company's operations.
