ITEM 5.     INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a 
corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the 
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary 
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit 
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of 
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not 
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation 
of law, (iii) for willful or negligent conduct in paying dividends or 
repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds or (iv) for any 
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  No 
such charter or by-law provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a 
director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such 
provision becomes effective.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision 
eliminating, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, director 
liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty.

     The Company's Bylaws require that directors and officers be indemnified 
to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.

      The Company has a policy of directors and officers liability insurance 
which insures directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement 
or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

ITEM 9.     UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                 made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration
                 Statement to include any material information with respect to
                 the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                 Registration Statement or any material change to such
                 information in the Registration Statement;

            (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                 Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
                 deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
                 securities offered therein, and the offering of such 
                 securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial 
                 bona fide offering thereof; and

            (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                 amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                 unsold at the termination of the offering.

      (b)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes 
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the 
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's 
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is 
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be 
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and 
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial 
bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons 
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions above, or otherwise, 
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed 
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a 
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by 
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or 
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, 
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling 
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant 
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by 
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the 
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as 
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication 
of such issue.

                           SMTEK INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                  1998 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK PLAN


                                   ARTICLE I
                                   GENERAL

1.01  Purpose.

     The purpose of the 1998 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan (the "Plan") of 
SMTEK International, Inc. (the "Company") is to promote the best interests of 
the Company and its stockholders by providing members of the Board who are not 
employees of the Company or its affiliates with an opportunity to acquire a 
proprietary interest in the Company.  By encouraging stock ownership by 
directors who are not employees of the Company or its affiliates, the Company 
seeks to attract and retain on the Board persons of exceptional competence and 
to provide a further incentive to serve as a director of the Company.

1.02  Administration.

     The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee appointed by 
the Board (the "Committee") comprised of at least two members of the Board who 
are "Non-Employee Directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated by 
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any successor rule ("Rule 16b-3").  
All references to the Board herein shall also be deemed to be a reference to 
the Committee. The Board, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, shall 
have the power to construe the Plan and any agreements defining the rights and 
obligations of the Company and Plan participants, to resolve all questions 
arising thereunder, to adopt and amend such rules and regulations for the 
administration thereof as it may deem desirable, and otherwise to carry out 
the terms of the Plan and such agreements.  The interpretation and 
construction by the Board of any provisions of the Plan or of any option 
granted under the Plan shall be final.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 
Board shall have no authority or discretion as to the selection of persons 
eligible to receive securities under the Plan, the number of securities 
granted under the Plan, the timing of such grants, or the exercise price or 
vesting provisions of securities granted under the Plan, which matters are 
specifically governed by the provisions of the Plan.

1.03  Eligible Directors.

     A person shall be eligible to receive grants under this Plan (an 
"Eligible Director") if, at the time of the grant, he or she is a duly elected 
or appointed member of the Board, but is not and has not since the beginning 
of the Company's most recently completed fiscal year been an employee of the 
Company or any of its affiliates (except for a director who has served solely 
as an uncompensated interim executive officer and who no longer serves in that 
capacity) and is not otherwise eligible for selection as a person to whom 
stock may be allocated or to whom stock options or stock appreciation rights 
may be granted (except for non-discretionary grants) pursuant to any plan of 
the Company or any of its affiliates entitling participants therein to acquire 
stock, stock options, or stock appreciation rights of the Company or any of 
its affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no director shall become an 
Eligible Director until such time as the Plan has been approved by the 
Company's stockholders.

1.04  Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan and Grant Limit.

     The shares that may be issued under the Plan shall be authorized and 
unissued shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share 
("Common Stock"), or previously issued shares of Common Stock reacquired by 
the Company.  The aggregate number of shares that may be granted under the 
Plan shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment 
in accordance with Article IV.

1.05  Amendment of the Plan.

     The Board may, insofar as permitted by law, from time to time suspend or 
discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever that 
would not compromise the ability of Eligible Directors to serve as 
disinterested administrators of the Company's other employee benefit plans 
under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, 
except that no such amendment shall alter or impair or diminish any rights or 
obligations under any option theretofore granted under the Plan without the 
consent of the person to whom such option was granted.   In addition, if an 
amendment to the Plan would increase the number of shares subject to the Plan 
(as adjusted under Article IV), increase the number of shares for which an 
option or options may be granted to any optionee (as adjusted under Article 
IV), change the class of persons eligible to receive options under the Plan, 
provide for the grant of options having an exercise price per option share 
less than the exercise price specified in the Plan, extend the final date upon 
which options may be granted under the Plan, or otherwise materially increase 
the benefits accruing to participants in a manner not specifically 
contemplated herein or affect the Plan's compliance with Rule 16b-3, the 
amendment shall be approved by the Company's stockholders to the extent 
required to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other state or federal securities 
law.  Under no circumstances may the provisions of the Plan that provide for 
the amounts, price, and timing of option grants be amended more than once 
every six months, other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue 
Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended 
("ERISA"), or the rules thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Board may 
amend the Plan to comply with or take advantage of changes in the rules 
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff under 
Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

1.06  Duration of Plan.

     This Plan shall be effective upon its approval by the stockholders, which 
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock 
of the Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting duly 
held.  No shares of Common Stock or stock options may be awarded prior to 
approval of the Plan by the stockholders.  This Plan will terminate on 
December 31, 2007 unless a different termination date is fixed by the 
stockholders or by action of the Board but no such termination shall affect 
the prior rights under this Plan of the Company or of anyone to whom shares 
have been transferred prior to such termination.

1.07  Restrictions.

     All options and shares granted under the Plan shall be subject to the 
requirement that, if at any time the Board shall determine, in its discretion, 
that the listing, registration or qualification of shares granted under the 
Plan upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the 
consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or 
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of shares or 
options or the issuance, if any, or purchase of shares in connection 
therewith, such option may not be exercised as a whole or in part unless such 
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been 
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.   
Unless the shares of stock to be issued under the Plan have been effectively 
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities 
Act"), the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any shares of stock 
unless the person who receives such shares or exercises such option, as a 
whole or in part, shall give a written representation and undertaking to the 
Company satisfactory in form and scope to counsel to the Company and upon 
which, in the opinion of such counsel, the Company may reasonably rely, that 
he or she is acquiring the shares of stock issued to him or her for his or her 
own account as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection 
with, the distribution of any such shares of stock, and that he or she will 
make no transfer of the same except in compliance with any rules and 
regulations in force at the time of such transfer under the Securities Act, or 
any other applicable law, and that if shares of stock are issued without such 
registration, a legend to this effect may be endorsed upon the certificates 
representing the securities so issued.

1.08  Nonassignability.

     Options granted under the Plan shall be transferable only to the extent 
such transfer is by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution or 
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined by the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or Title I of ERISA or the rules 
promulgated thereunder, and is not otherwise prohibited by Rule 16b-3.  During 
the lifetime of the optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the 
optionee (or the optionee's permitted transferee) or his or her guardian or 
legal representative.

1.09  Withholding Taxes.

     Whenever shares of stock are to be issued, whether directly or upon 
exercise of an option granted under the Plan, the Board shall have the right 
to require the Eligible Director to remit to the Company an amount sufficient 
to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to 
the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares.  The Board 
may, in the exercise of its discretion, allow satisfaction of tax withholding 
requirements by accepting delivery of stock of the Company or by withholding a 
portion of the stock otherwise issuable.

1.10  Definition of "Fair Market Value."

     For purposes of the Plan, the term "Fair Market Value" when used in 
reference to the value of a share of Common Stock shall mean, on any day, (i) 
the closing sales price on the immediately preceding business day of a share 
of Common Stock as reported on the principal securities exchange on which 
shares of Common Stock are then listed or admitted to trading, or (ii) if not 
so reported, the closing sales price on the immediately preceding business day 
of a share of Common Stock as published in the Nasdaq National Market Issues 
report in The Wall Street Journal, or (iii) if no such closing prices are 
reported, the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the 
immediately preceding business day as reported on the Nasdaq National Market 
System, or (iv) if not so reported, as furnished by any member of the National 
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected by the Board.  In the event 
that the price of a share of Common Stock shall not be so reported or 
furnished, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be 
determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.  A "business day" is any 
day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which the relevant market is open for 
trading.


1.11  Rights as a Stockholder.

     (a)  Eligible Directors shall have all rights and privileges of a 
stockholder as to shares received under this Plan, including the right to vote 
and receive dividends, except that during the Restricted Period, as defined in 
Section 1.12, the shares of Common Stock may not be sold, transferred, 
assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of.

     (b)  An optionee or a permitted transferee of an option shall have no 
rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares issuable or issued upon 
exercise of the option until the date of the receipt by the Company of all 
amounts payable in connection with exercise of the option, including the 
exercise price and any amounts required by the Company pursuant to Section 
1.09.

1.12  Restricted Period

     Certificates representing any shares of Common Stock to which the 
Participant is entitled under this Plan shall be registered in the 
Participant's name but shall be held in custody by the Company for the 
Participant's account for a period (the "Restricted Period") ending six months 
from the date of grant of the stock option or the date of issuance of the 
shares, at which time those certificates shall be delivered to the 
Participant.  During the Restricted Period, the Participant shall have all 
rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such shares, including the right 
to vote and receive dividends, except that the shares of Common Stock may not 
be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed 
of.

                                  ARTICLE II
                                STOCK OPTIONS

2.01  Grants of Options.

     Each Eligible Director shall be entitled to receive an annual grant of an 
option to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per 
share equal to the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of grant, 
subject to adjustment as set forth in Article IV.  Grants of options made 
under this Plan shall be made initially on July 1, 1999 and thereafter on July 
1 of each year (or the first business day thereafter on which the Company's 
Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange on which it is 
listed), except that for any person who first becomes an Eligible Director at 
any time after September 30, 1998, the initial grant shall be made on the date 
the person becomes an Eligible Director in a prorated number of options 
calculated using a 365 day year. 


2.02  Exercise Price.

     The option exercise price shall be payable upon the exercise of an option 
in legal tender of the United States or such other consideration as the Board 
may deem acceptable, including without limitation Common Stock (delivered by 
or on behalf of the person exercising the option or retained by the Company 
from the Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise and valued at Fair 
Market Value as of the exercise date), provided, however, that the Board may, 
in the exercise of its discretion, 

     (i) allow exercise of an option in a broker-assisted or similar 
         transaction in which the exercise price is not received
         by the Company until immediately after exercise, and/or 

     (ii) allow the Company to loan the exercise price to the person 
          entitled to exercise the option, if the exercise will be followed
          by an immediate sale of some or all of the underlying shares and a
          portion of the sales proceeds is dedicated to full payment of the
          exercise price.  

     Upon proper exercise, and upon satisfaction of the Restricted Period as 
provided in Section 1.12, the Company shall deliver to the person entitled to 
exercise the option or his or her designee a certificate or certificates for 
the shares of Common Stock to which the option pertains.

2.03  Exercise.

     All options granted under the Plan shall become exercisable upon the date 
of grant.  Certificates representing shares issued upon exercise of options 
may be held in custody by the Company as provided in Section 1.12.

2.04  Option Agreements.

     Each option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an option 
agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company stating the number of shares 
of stock issuable upon exercise of the option, the exercise price, the time at 
which the option becomes exercisable, and the time during which the option 
remains exercisable.  Such option agreements may but need not be identical and 
shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a 
copy of which shall be provided to each option recipient and incorporated by 
reference into each option agreement.  Any option agreement may contain such 
other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may 
be determined by the Board.

2.05  Term of Options and Effect of Termination.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no options shall be 
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the effective date of their 
grant.  In the event that any outstanding option under the Plan expires by 
reason of lapse of time or is otherwise terminated without exercise for any 
reason, then the shares of Common Stock subject to any such option that have 
not been issued upon expiration or termination of the option shall again 
become available in the pool of shares of Common Stock for which options may 
be granted under the Plan.  In the event that the holder of any options 
granted under the Plan shall cease to be an Eligible Director of the Company, 
all options granted under the Plan to such holder shall remain exercisable, 
regardless of the reason the optionee ceases to be an Eligible Director, for a 
period of two years after the date the optionee ceases to be an Eligible 
Director (or, if sooner, until the expiration of the option according to its 
terms), and shall then terminate.  In the event of the death of an optionee 
while such optionee is an Eligible Director or within the period after 
termination of such status during which he or she is permitted to exercise an 
option, such option may be exercised by any person or persons designated by 
the optionee on a Beneficiary Designation Form adopted by the Board for such 
purpose or, if there is no effective Beneficiary Designation Form on file with 
the Company, by the executors or administrators of the optionee's estate or by 
any person or persons who shall have acquired the option directly from the 
optionee by his or her will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution 
or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or 
Title I of ERISA, or the rules promulgated thereunder or as otherwise 
permitted by Rule 16b-3.


                                 ARTICLE III
                 AWARD OF SHARES FOR ATTENDANCE AT BOARD MEETINGS

     Each Eligible Director shall, on the fifth business day following each 
quarterly public release of the Company's earnings (the "Valuation Date"), 
automatically be entitled to receive, for each meeting of the Company's Board 
of Directors attended by such Eligible Director during the preceding fiscal 
quarter, that number of shares of Common Stock as are obtained by dividing the 
Fair Market Value on the Valuation Date into:           (i)  $1,000 for 
attendance at Board meetings in person;  (ii)  $500 for attendance at Board 
meetings by conference telephone call; and (iii) $500 for attendance in person 
or by conference telephone call for meetings of the committees of the Board of 
Directors if such committee meetings are not held in conjunction with meetings 
of the Board of Directors.  All shares awarded shall be full shares, rounded 
up to the nearest whole share.  No fractional shares shall be issued.


                                   ARTICLE IV
                     RECAPITALIZATIONS AND REORGANIZATIONS

4.01  Anti-dilution Adjustments.  

     If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are (a) 
increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or 
other securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares or other 
securities are distributed in respect of such shares of Common Stock (or any 
stock or securities received with respect to such Common Stock), through 
merger, consolidation, sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the 
properties of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, 
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or other 
distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock (or any stock or 
securities received with respect to such Common Stock), or (b) if the value of 
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company is reduced by reason of 
an extraordinary cash dividend, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment 
may be made by the Board in (x) the maximum number and kind of shares to be 
issued under the Plan, (y) the number and kind of shares subject to then 
outstanding options, and (z) the price for each share or other unit of any 
other securities subject to then outstanding options.  No fractional interests 
will be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustments.

4.02  Corporate Transactions.  

     If the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or 
consolidation, each outstanding option shall pertain and apply to the 
securities to which a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock that 
are subject to that option would have been entitled.  A Change in Control (as 
defined below) of the Company shall cause the Plan to terminate, provided that 
outstanding options granted to optionees who remain Eligible Directors after 
such Change in Control shall remain in effect according to their terms subject 
to adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.01, and outstanding options granted 
to optionees who cease to be Eligible Directors after such Change in Control 
shall remain exercisable according to their terms, subject to adjustments made 
pursuant to Section 4.01, for a period of two years following such Change in 
Control.  For purposes hereof, a "Change in Control" means the following and 
shall be deemed to occur if any of the following events occur:

          (a) Except as provided by subparagraph (b) hereof, the acquisition
              (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or group,
              within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
              Exchange Act (excluding, for this purpose, the Company or its
              subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or its
              subsidiaries which acquires beneficial ownership of voting
              securities of the Company), of beneficial ownership (within the
              meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
              fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding shares of
              Common Stock; or

          (b) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a reorganization,
              merger or consolidation with any other person, entity or
              corporation, other than

             (i)  a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
                  securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
                  thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
                  outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of
                  another entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the
                  combined voting power of the voting securities of the
                  Company or such other entity outstanding immediately after
                  such merger or consolidation, or

             (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
                  recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in
                  which no person or entity acquires fifty percent (50%) or
                  more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
                  outstanding voting securities; or

          (c) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a plan of
              complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale
              or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all 
              of the Company's assets.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this paragraph, a Change in 
Control shall not be deemed to have occurred (1) if the "person" described in 
the preceding provisions is an underwriter or underwriting syndicate that has 
acquired the ownership of the Company's voting securities solely in connection 
with a public offering of the Company's securities or (2) if the "person" 
described in the preceding provisions is an employee stock ownership plan or 
other employee benefit plan maintained by the Company that is qualified under 
the provisions of ERISA.

4.03  Determination by the Board.  

     To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or 
securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board, whose 
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The 
grant of an option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right 
or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, 
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or 
to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all of any part 
of its business or assets.
