                              VERNITRON CORPORATION
               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                             (Dollars in thousands)

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 considered
necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have
been included.  Operating results for the interim period presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1995.  For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1994.

Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial
statements to conform to current classifications.

In accordance with quasi-reorganization accounting principles, the Company
elected to adjust its December 31, 1991 balance sheet to fair value and
transferred the accumulated deficit of $14,094 to capital in excess of par.

Per share data for the periods are based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during such periods.  Outstanding common stock options
have not been included in the computation of earnings per share as they were
deemed to have been  anti-dilutive.

Total interest paid in the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $489 and
$632, respectively.  The Company had net income tax payments of $41 and $20 in
the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective September 30, 1994, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of all of
its Electronic Components business.  The disposal is being accounted for as a
discontinued operation, and, accordingly, the related net assets and operating
results have been reported separately from continuing operations.  During the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company sold the remaining product line for
$1,500, of which $975 has been collected.  The remaining $500 is expected to be
collected in the second quarter of 1995.  The loss from operations of the
discontinued Electronic Components business for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
of $51 was charged to reserves established in the prior year for anticipated
operating losses until disposal.   The operations of the Electronics Components
business are expected  to close during the second quarter of 1995.

            OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands)

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales by product group for continuing operations for the first quarter were
as follows:

     Industrial Components                10,256         8,959
                                        --------      --------
     Net Sales                          $ 16,896      $ 14,929

</TABLE>


     Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased by $1,967, or 13%,
compared to the same period in 1994.

     The Motion Control group's sales (motors, sensors and controls) increased
in 1995 by $670, or 11%, as compared to 1994.  This increase was primarily due
to higher electromagnetic sub-system sales resulting from new product
introductions which did not begin to generate significant sales volume until the
second half of 1994 and higher potentiometer sales resulting from greater
operating efficiency in the current quarter.  The potentiometer product line was
in the process of being relocated from Deer Park, New York to St. Petersburg,
Florida during the first quarter of 1994.  Bookings were $7,448 in 1995, an
increase of $660, or 10%, compared to 1994, primarily due to the timing of
certain large resolver orders.  The nature of the Motion Control group's
bookings results in an uneven pattern from quarter to quarter and does not
necessarily reflect overall business trends.

     The Industrial Components group's sales (bearings and connectors) increased
in 1995 by $1,297, or 14%, compared to 1994.  Sales of bearings and connectors
were up by 17% and 12%, respectively.  Industrial Component's bookings for the
quarter were $11,482, an increase of $1,772, or 18%, compared to 1994.  Both the
increase in sales and bookings reflect an improvement in general economic
conditions and new customer activity.

     Operating income was $1,002 in 1995, as compared to $547 in 1994,
representing a $455 increase.  This increase was primarily due to the gross
margin earned on the incremental sales volume in both business groups and
improved profit margins in the Motion Control group resulting from restructuring
actions completed during 1994, which were partially offset by higher selling,
general and administrative expenses.  Overall, gross margin on sales was 27.7%
in 1995, up from 25.2% in 1994.  Productivity, as measured by value-added per
employee, increased 25.2% to approximately $18,900 in 1995 from approximately
$15,100 in 1994.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $470 in 1995
primarily due to higher


                                        8

medical costs and the reinstatement of certain profit sharing provisions.

     Interest expense declined by $105 in 1995 as a result of lower average
borrowings due primarily to the repurchase of the Company's bank indebtedness at
a discount in the third quarter of 1994.  This was partially offset by higher
interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company believes that its $17.5 million credit facility, cash generated
from operations and proceeds from the sale of assets included in net assets held
for disposal, will be sufficient to meet its future capital expenditure and
working capital requirements and required debt amortization.

     The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of
March 31, 1995.
