</TABLE>
From December 31, 1993, to October 2, 1994, cash of CTS Corporation
and its subsidiaries ("CTS" or "Company") decreased $9.5 million. 
The primary use of the cash was the $10.9 million decrease in
interest bearing debt which resulted mainly from discretionary debt
repayments.  The net change in working capital, excluding cash and
current debt, was a $4.0 million increase.  This increase is
primarily a reflection of the increase in sales and production
levels during the third quarter of 1994, compared to the last
quarter of 1993.

Capital expenditures were $7.7 million for the first nine months of
1994, compared with $8.4 for the same period a year earlier.  
Capital expenditures continued to relate to new product, product
variation and manufacturing improvement programs.

On March 31, 1993, the Company replaced its previous $40 million
long-term credit revolving agreement with a new $45 million long-
term revolving credit agreement.  The new agreement expires on
April 1, 1997.  The new agreement contains certain loan covenants
with which the Company is in full compliance.  The revolving
agreement is the Company's primary credit vehicle, and with cash
from operations, is expected to adequately fund the Company's
anticipated cash needs.  Additionally, on November 7, 1994, the

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Company reached agreement on a $15 million term loan at a fixed
interest rate of 8.38%.  The loan becomes available in December
1994, and requires annual payments of $2 million in 1996 through
1998, and $9 million in 1999.  This credit arrangement is intended
to finance potential acquisitions.

A letter of intent to acquire the Light Emitting Diode (LED) based
Fiber Optic Data Link (ODL) Products business of AT&T
Microelectronics was signed during the third quarter of 1994. 
Financial details have not yet been finalized; however, the
transaction will include all assets and backlog on sales contracts,
together with rights in intellectual property, design manufacturing
technology and trademarks of the AT&T Lightwave LED-based ODL
business.  The transaction is expected to be completed prior to
December 31, 1994.  The proposed transaction is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's 1994 results of operation
or the Company's financial condition.

Material Changes in Results of Operations:  Comparison of Third
Quarter 1994 to Third Quarter 1993

Net sales increased by $7.8 million, or 13.5% from the third
quarter of 1993.  Sales increases occurred principally in
automotive and connector related products as a result of the

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

overall improved automotive market, new products and applications, 
and additional market penetration.  These increases more than
offset reductions in our microelectronics and frequency controls
businesses.

Gross earnings improved primarily due to the sales and production
volume increases which favorably affected operating efficiencies in
all business units, excluding our microelectronics and frequency
controls units.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly as
a result of the increased sales levels.  As a percent of sales,
these expenses remained basically flat reflecting the Company's
continued cost control emphasis. 

The tax rate decreased from the 1993 tax rate for the same period. 
The 1994 annual effective rate is 32% compared to a 1993 effective
rate of 36%.  The rate decrease is primarily the result of
additional expected net operating loss utilization.

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


For the first nine months of 1994, net sales increased $19.8
million, or 10.9% compared to the first nine months of 1993. 
Consistent with the third quarter of 1994, the significant 1994
year-to-date sales increases occurred in automotive and connector
related products.  These increases have more than offset the year-
to-date sales decline experienced by our microelectronics and
frequency controls business lines.

Gross earnings have improved throughout 1994, primarily due to the
sales and production volume increases which have favorably affected
operating efficiencies in all business units, excluding the
microelectronics and frequency controls units.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in dollars have
increased $2.2 million compared to the first nine months of 1993. 
The increase is primarily selling expenses associated with the
increased sales volume.  However, these expenses in total have
decreased as a percent of sales, reflecting continuing efforts to
control operating expenses. 

The tax rate decreased from the 1993 tax rate for the same period. 
The 1994 annual effective rate is 32% compared to a 1993 effective
rate of 36%.  The rate decrease is primarily the result of
additional expected net operating loss utilization.
