                        MAGNETIC TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                JANUARY 31, 1997

INTERIM ACCOUNTING POLICY
- -------------------------
     The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared
in accordance with 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 these rules and
regulations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with such
principles requires the use of estimates by management during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The financial information included in this quarterly report should be read
in conjunction with the Company's most recent Form 10-KSB and annual report. In
the opinion of Management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments
necessary to present a fair statement of the financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods covered.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 
- --------------------------- 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
for the periods presented and the accounts of its wholly-owned foreign
subsidiary, Magnetic Technologies Europe Limited (MTE), as of March 1, 1995. All
significant intercompany balances, transactions and profits are eliminated.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
- ---------------------------------
     Assets and liabilities of MTE are translated into U.S. dollars at currency
exchange rates in effect at the end of the balance sheet period. Revenues and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the related
income statement periods. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in the results of operations. Gains and losses
resulting from the translation of the foreign subsidiary balance sheet are
recorded directly to the cumulative translation adjustment, a component of
stockholders' equity.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
- -------------------
     The Company accounts for long-term contracts using the percentage of
completion method of accounting. Revenue is recognized in the ratio that costs
incurred bear to total estimated costs of the contracts. Contract costs include
direct material and labor costs as well as indirect costs related to contract
performance. Losses expected to be incurred are charged to operations in the
period such losses are determined.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
     Fiscal 1997 earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period after consideration of
the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants. Per share amounts for fiscal
1996 are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period. The amounts do not include any adjustments for stock options or warrants
due to the antidilutive effect they have on the net losses in that year.

SALE OF AUSTRO MOLD GROUP ASSETS
- --------------------------------
    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company sold its Austro Mold
Group fixed assets, the mold manufacturing work in process and the majority of
the plastics injection molding inventory to an unrelated third party. The Austro
Mold Group results are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for
the six month period ended January 31, 1996.

     The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. The
statement requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for
the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the

     The realization of the deferred tax assets related to the net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards is dependent upon future taxable income. In
addition, if certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership should
occur, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss
and tax credit carryforwards which could be utilized.

BORROWINGS
- ----------
     The Company had $639,742 available and $610,258 outstanding on its bank
line of credit at January 31, 1997. The Company's entire $1,500,000 revolving
loan was outstanding at January 31, 1997. The line of credit and revolving loan
require interest payments at prime plus .25%.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
- -----------------
     Effective September 13, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the
1996 Stock Option Plan. The plan was approved by the Company's shareholders on
December 17, 1996. The plan authorizes the Board of Directors to grant qualified
incentive stock options and non-qualified options for the purchase of the
Company's common stock to directors, officers, key employees and consultants.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, twelve key employees received qualified
incentive stock option grants under the plan to purchase an aggregate of 77,500
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. A consultant
also received a non-qualified option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock
at the same price. During the second quarter of fiscal 1997, a previously
granted option for 2,500 shares expired upon resignation of an employee. In
addition, three directors received stock option grants under the plan to
purchase 7,500 shares each of common stock for a total of 22,500 options at an
exercise price of $4.00 per share. At January 31, 1997, options for an aggregate
of 107,500 shares were outstanding under the plan.

               COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED
                      JANUARY 31, 1997 AND JANUARY 31, 1996


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

THREE MONTH PERIOD COMPARISON

     The Company's consolidated net sales of $5,104,311 for the three months
ended January 31, 1997 decreased $671,611, or 12%, from the comparable period
last year. The primary reason for the decrease was the sale of the Company's
Austro Mold Group assets in July 1996. Austro Mold had reported net sales of
$1,311,655 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The fiscal 1997 results
included net sales of $4,323,361 for the Magnetic Assembly Group, an increase of
$431,684, or 11%, from the comparable prior year period. The increase in the
Magnetic Assembly sales was principally the result of new product development
business for the Company's major customer. The Company's European subsidiary,
Magnetic Technologies Europe Ltd. (MTE), reported net sales of $780,950 for the
second quarter of fiscal 1997, compared with $572,590 for the second quarter of
the prior year, an increase of $208,360, or 36%.

     Consolidated gross profit of $854,116 for the quarter ended January 31,
1997 increased $274,084 over the comparable period in the prior year, and the
consolidated gross margin increased from 10% to 17%. The primary factor
affecting the gross margin was the sale of Austro Mold, which had experienced a
negative 6% gross profit of $79,921 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The
Magnetic Assembly Group's gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal year
1997 was $702,191, or 16%, compared with 15% for the second quarter of fiscal
1996. MTE reported a gross margin of 19% for the quarter ended January 31, 1997,
versus a 16% gross margin for the comparable prior year period.

     Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased $179,070 from the comparable fiscal 1996
quarter. The decrease was primarily the result of the sale of the Austro Mold
Group assets in fiscal 1996. Austro Mold reported selling, general and
administrative expenses of $168,217 for the second quarter of the previous year.
The consolidated selling, general and administrative costs for the quarter ended
January 31, 1997 were 11% of net sales, compared with 13% the prior year.
Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased $12,104 from
the comparable prior year period due to reductions in outstanding debt balances.

     The three month period ended January 31, 1997 resulted in consolidated net
income of $225,903 versus a consolidated net loss of $249,407 in the comparable
fiscal 1996 period, an improvement of $475,310 over the prior year. The
improvement was the result of the Austro Mold sale, which had reported a net
loss of $255,517 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. In addition, the
Magnetic Assembly Group reported net income of $184,610 for the second quarter
of fiscal 1997 versus prior year net income of $6,972. MTE reported net income
of $41,293 for the fiscal 1997 quarter, versus a net loss of $862 in the
comparable quarter of the prior year.

SIX  MONTH PERIOD COMPARISON

     The Company's consolidated net sales of $10,713,307 for the six months
ended January 31, 1997 decreased $1,887,627, or 15%, from the comparable period
last year. The primary reason for the decrease was the sale of the Company's
Austro Mold Group assets in July 1996. Austro Mold had reported net sales of
$2,324,404 for the first half of fiscal 1996. The Magnetic Assembly Group
reported net sales of $9,274,075 for the six months ended January 31, 1997,
which remained relatively stable compared with the prior year. The Company's
European subsidiary, Magnetic Technologies Europe Ltd. (MTE), reported net sales
of $1,439,232 for the first six months of fiscal 1997, compared with $1,010,741
for the comparable period of the prior year, an increase of $428,491, or 42%.

     Consolidated gross profit of $1,795,623 for the six months ended January
31, 1997 increased $424,810 over the comparable period in the prior year, and
the consolidated gross margin increased from 11% to 17%. The primary factor
affecting the gross margin was the sale of Austro Mold, which had experienced a
negative 7% gross profit of $155,003 during the comparable six month period of
the prior year. The Magnetic Assembly Group's gross margin for the first six
months of fiscal year 1997 was $1,509,170, or 16%, compared with 15% for the
same period in fiscal 1996. MTE reported a gross margin of 20% for the six month
period ended January 31, 1997, versus a 13% gross margin for the comparable
prior year period.

     Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the first
half of fiscal 1997 decreased $257,248 from the comparable fiscal 1996 period.
The decrease was primarily the result of the sale of the Austro Mold Group
assets in fiscal 1996. Austro Mold reported selling, general and administrative
expenses of $341,513 for the first six months of fiscal 1996. The Magnetic
Assembly Group and MTE reported increases in selling, general and administrative
expenses during the first half of fiscal 1997 over the comparable prior year
period of $39,432 and $44,833, respectively. The increases were the result of
several factors, including new product development costs, stockholder relations
expenses and employer 401(k) contributions. The consolidated selling, general
and administrative costs for the six month period ended January 31, 1997 were
11% of net sales, compared with 12% the prior year. Interest expense for first
half of fiscal 1997 decreased $14,400 from the comparable prior year period due
to reductions in outstanding debt balances.

     The six month period ended January 31, 1997 resulted in consolidated net
income of $470,766 versus a consolidated net loss of $226,072 in the comparable
fiscal 1996 period, an improvement of $696,838 over the prior year. The
improvement was primarily the result of the Austro Mold sale, which had reported
a net loss of $504,210 for the first half of fiscal 1996. In addition, the
Magnetic Assembly Group reported net income of $397,089 for the first half of
fiscal 1997 versus prior year net income of $316,154, an improvement of $80,935.
MTE reported net income of $73,677 for the six month period ended January 31,
1997, versus a net loss of $38,016 in the comparable period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
     Even though the Company's debt increased due to the acquisition of MTE in
March 1995 and the earlier acquisition of its Austro Mold Group in November
1992, its cash flow should be adequate to fund the interest and principal on the
current portion of long-term debt.

     Cash provided by operating activities totaled $877,128 for the six month
period ended January 31, 1997 compared with $67,640 for the comparable period of
the prior year, an increase of $809,488. The variance was primarily the result
of an increase in net income of $696,838 and liquidation of the Austro Mold
Group accounts receivable.

     Cash used for investing activities decreased $91,610 for the six month
period ended January 31, 1997 from the comparable period in the prior year. The
variance was primarily due to lower capital expenditures in fiscal 1997.

     Cash used for financing cash flows increased $564,586 for the first half of
fiscal 1997 compared with the prior year period. The variance was primarily the
result of additional principal payments made on the Company's outstanding line
of credit balance.
