	RESEARCH, INCORPORATED
	NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The Company's significant accounting policies not elsewhere set forth in 
the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Consolidated Financial Statements -

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, the consolidated 
statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 
30, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the 
nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, have been prepared by the 
Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present 
fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash 
flows at June 30, 1995 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested 
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes 
included in the Company's September 30, 1994 annual report to 
shareholders. The results of operations for the periods ended 
June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for 
the full fiscal year or for any interim period.

Inventories -

Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market and 
include direct labor, material and overhead costs.  Inventories consist of 
the following components at:

		  June 30 			September 30
		    1995   	               	    1994    

Raw materials and
 purchased parts		$ 2,025,377		$ 1,881,080

Work in process and
 finished goods                       888,662		     716,152 

	  Total		$ 2,914,039 		$ 2,597,232

						
Earnings per Share -

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding. Shares reserved for employee stock options 
are not considered as they are insignificant or anti-dilutive. The number 
of outstanding shares increased by 2,500 shares during the third quarter 
of fiscal 1995 due to the exercise of employee stock options. There was 
no change in the number of outstanding shares during the third quarter 
of fiscal 1994. 

2.  Line of Credit:

The Company has a $3,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit which 
carries an interest rate equal to the bank's base (prime) rate with no 
compensating balance requirements. There are also financial and 
affirmative covenants that are applicable to the line of credit. As of 
June 30, 1995, these covenants have been met.

3.  Stockholders' Investment:

Employee Stock Options -
 
During fiscal 1982, the Company adopted the 1981 Employee Incentive 
Stock Option Plan (1981 Plan) and a total of 200,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 
exercise of options under the plan. Options for 16,000 shares were 
outstanding at June 30, 1995 at prices ranging from $4.00 to $4.50. The 
Board of Directors has taken action to preclude the granting of further 
options under the 1981 Plan.


During fiscal 1992 the Company adopted the 1991 Stock Plan (1991 
Plan). This plan has 210,000 shares of the Company's common stock 
reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options under the plan. 
Options for 106,500 shares under the 1991 Plan were outstanding at 
June 30, 1995 at prices ranging from $3.50 to $6.25 per share.

4.	Income Taxes:

During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company 
terminated efforts to recover tax refund claims filed in 1989 for
 research and development tax credits.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The Company's working capital increased from $4,903,644 at September 
30, 1994 to $4,915,047 at June 30, 1995. The current ratio at June 30, 
1995 was 2.7 to 1 compared to 2.5 to 1 nine months earlier.

The Company has no long-term debt.

The Company has an unsecured bank line of credit for $3,000,000.  
There was no borrowing against the line of credit during the nine 
months ended June 30, 1995.

Operations

Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 (the quarter ended June 30, 
1995) amounted to $5,379,813. This was 16.9% higher than sales of 
$4,602,529 reported for the same period of the preceding year.  Sales for 
the first nine months of fiscal 1995 were $14,956,015 compared to 
$12,390,521 for the first nine months of last year. This is 20.7% higher 
than last year and is primarily caused by increased sales of products in 
the Surface Mount Technology market.
Gross profit on sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was 44.7% 
compared to 43.4% for the same quarter last year and 44.8% compared
 to 44.6% for the nine month period ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
 respectively. The increase in gross profit is due to product mix and 
increased volume.
Selling expenses were 26.7% and 29.1% of sales in the quarters 
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and 28.8% and 30.3% of sales for the
 nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. This percent decrease is 
due to our reduced operating expenses in the Controls Division.
 Expenditures for research and development increased to 8.3% from 
6.7% of sales for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and 
were 8.4% and 8.0% of sales for the nine month periods ended
 June 30, 1995 and 1994. These expenditures increased due to the 
development expenses incurred for our new products and 
adaptations of our existing products. General and administrative 
expenses were 3.3% and 3.4% of sales in the quarters ended June 30, 
1995 and 1994 and 3.6% and 3.4% of sales for the nine months ended 
June 30, 1995 and 1994.

As a result of the above, there was a consolidated net profit before
 income taxes of $347,677 for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 as 
compared to $195,356 for the same quarter last year. The profit for
 the first nine months of fiscal 1995 was $599,731 as compared to 
$363,284 for the same period last year.
