                        MAGNETIC TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 APRIL 30, 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. An
estimated loss on the sale of $1,800,000 was recorded in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 and is reflected in the accompanying statements. The Austro Mold
Group operating results are also reflected in the consolidated statement of
operations for the nine month period ended April 30, 1996.

     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 April 30, 1997. The Company's entire $1,500,000 revolving loan
was outstanding at April 30, 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 up
to an aggregate of 125,000 shares. 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 April 30,
1997, options for an aggregate of 107,500 shares were outstanding under the
plan.

              COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED
                        APRIL 30, 1997 AND APRIL 30, 1996

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

THREE MONTH PERIOD COMPARISON

     The Company's consolidated net sales of $5,207,807 for the three months
ended April 30, 1997 decreased $1,598,532, or 23%, 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
$1,140,519 for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The fiscal 1997 results
included net sales of $4,424,538 for the Magnetic Assembly Group, a decrease of
$681,959, or 13%, from the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the
Magnetic Assembly sales was the result of declines in sales volumes for the
Company's major customer as the sales mix shifted to mature product lines with
reduced demands. In addition, the comparable period in fiscal 1996 included
non-recurring sales to the Company's major customer for the establishment of
inventory at several new distribution centers. The Company's European
subsidiary, Magnetic Technologies Europe Ltd. (MTE), reported net sales of
$783,269 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997, compared with $559,323 for the
third quarter of the prior year, an increase of $223,946, or 40%.

     Consolidated gross profit of $846,174 for the quarter ended April 30, 1997
increased $239,088 over the comparable period in the prior year, and the
consolidated gross margin increased from 9% to 16%. There were several factors
affecting the gross margin variance; first was the sale of Austro Mold, which
had experienced a negative 1% gross profit of $16,983 for the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, and second the Magnetic Assembly Group's gross margin for the third
quarter of fiscal year 1997 was $716,330, or 16%, compared with 10% for the
third quarter of fiscal 1996. The margin improved due to lower costs from
improvements in production efficiencies and the resulting labor force
reductions. In addition, the gross margin for the third quarter of the prior
year was unusually low due to the sales mix which included a large number of
lower margin tooling projects. MTE reported a gross margin of 17% for the
quarter ended April 30, 1997, versus a 20% gross margin for the comparable prior
year period.

     Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased $173,267 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 $165,139 for the third quarter of the previous year.
The consolidated selling, general and administrative costs for the quarter ended
April 30, 1997 were consistent with the prior year at 11% of net sales. Interest
expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased $38,393 from the
comparable prior year period due to reductions in outstanding debt balances.

     The three month period ended April 30, 1997 resulted in consolidated net
income of $271,753 versus a consolidated net loss of $1,994,285 in the
comparable fiscal 1996 period, an improvement of $2,266,038 over the prior year.
The fiscal 1996 loss included an estimated loss on the sale of Austro Mold of
$1,800,000. In addition, the Austro Mold Group reported an net operating loss of
$185,966 for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The Magnetic Assembly Group
reported net income of $258,091 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 versus a
prior year net loss of $25,826. MTE reported net income of $13,662 for the
fiscal 1997 quarter.

NINE  MONTH PERIOD COMPARISON

     The Company's consolidated net sales of $15,921,114 for the nine months
ended April 30, 1997 decreased $3,486,159, or 18%, 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
$3,464,923 for the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. The Magnetic Assembly
Group reported net sales of $13,698,613 for the nine months ended April 30,
1997, compared with $14,372,286 in the comparable period of the prior year, a
decrease of $673,673, or 5%. The decrease was the result of declines in sales
volumes for the Company's major customer as the sales mix shifted to mature
product lines with reduced demands. In addition, the third quarter of fiscal
1996 included non-recurring sales to the Company's major customer for the
establishment of inventory at several new distribution centers. The Company's
European subsidiary, Magnetic Technologies Europe Ltd. (MTE), reported net sales
of $2,222,501 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997, compared with $1,570,064
for the comparable period of the prior year, an increase of $652,437, or 42%.

     Consolidated gross profit of $2,641,797 for the nine months ended April 30,
1997 increased $663,898 over the comparable period in the prior year, and the
consolidated gross margin increased from 10% to 17%. There were several factors
affecting the gross margin variance. First was the sale of Austro Mold, which
had experienced a negative 5% gross profit of $171,986 during the comparable
nine month period of the prior year. The Magnetic Assembly Group's gross margin
for the first nine months of fiscal year 1997 was $2,225,500, or 16%, compared
with 13% for the same period in fiscal 1996. The margin improved due to lower
costs resulting from labor force reductions and improvements in production
efficiencies. In addition, the gross margin for the third quarter of the prior
year was unusually low due to the sales mix which included a large number of
lower margin tooling projects. MTE reported a gross margin of 19% for the nine
month period ended April 30, 1997, versus a 15% gross margin for the comparable
prior year period.

     Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 decreased $430,515 from the comparable fiscal 1996
period. The decrease was the result of the sale of the Austro Mold Group assets
in fiscal 1996. Austro Mold reported selling, general and administrative
expenses of $506,652 for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The Magnetic
Assembly Group and MTE reported increases in selling, general and administrative
expenses during the first nine months of fiscal 1997 over the comparable prior
year period of $7,254 and $68,883, respectively. The increases were the result
of several factors, including new product development costs, stockholder
relations expenses and employer retirement contributions. The consolidated
selling, general and administrative costs for the nine month period ended April
30, 1997 were consistent with the prior year at 11% of net sales. Interest
expense for first nine months of fiscal 1997 decreased $52,793 from the
comparable prior year period due to reductions in outstanding debt balances.

     The nine month period ended April 30, 1997 resulted in consolidated net
income of $742,519 versus a consolidated net loss of $2,220,357 in the
comparable fiscal 1996 period, an improvement of $2,962,876 over the prior year.
The improvement was the result of the Austro Mold sale. During the third quarter
of the prior year, the Company recorded a $1,800,000 estimated loss on the sale.
In addition, Austro Mold incurred a net operating loss of $690,176 for the first
three quarters of fiscal 1996. The Magnetic Assembly Group reported net income
of $655,180 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 versus net income of
$290,328 in the comparable fiscal 1996 period. MTE reported net income of
$87,339 for the nine month period ended April 30, 1997, versus a net loss of
$20,509 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 $852,234 for the nine month
period ended April 30, 1997 compared with $270,761 for the comparable period of
the prior year, an increase of $581,473. The variance was primarily the result
of an increase in net income and the liquidation of the Austro Mold accounts
receivable during fiscal 1997.

     Cash used for investing activities decreased $137,234 for the nine month
period ended April 30, 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 $758,251 for the first nine
months 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. In addition, new borrowings of $200,000 were
incurred during the comparable fiscal 1996 period.
