                ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                 ROBINSON NUGENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

              DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998, AND JUNE 30, 1999



1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (all of  which
    are normal and recurring) to present fairly the financial position of
    the  Company and its subsidiaries, results of operations,  and   cash
    flows  in  conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.
    The  results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily
    an indicator of results to be expected for the entire year.

2.  Reference   is  directed  to  the  Company's  consolidated  financial
    statements  (Form 10-K), including references to the  Annual  Report,
    for  the  year  ended June 30, 1999 and management's  discussion  and
    analysis included in Part I, Item 2 in this report.

3.  The  Company recorded special and unusual charges of $376,000, before
    taxes, in the quarter and $606,000 year to date.  These expenses  are
    presented  separately as a component of the operating income  in  the
    consolidated statements of operations.  These expenses are  personnel
    costs  incurred  to  design  and  implement  a  new  information  and
    enterprise  resource planning system for North American and  European
    operations.   This  new system is being designed and  implemented  to
    satisfy  year  2000  requirements,  enhance  management  and  control
    systems, improve customer service and vendor communications.

4.  The  Financial  Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS  No.  133,
    "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which
    establishes accounting and reporting standards for hedging activities
    and   for   derivative  instruments,  including  certain   derivative
    instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to  as
    derivatives).   It requires that an entity recognize all  derivatives
    as  either  assets  or  liabilities in  the  statement  of  financial
    position  and  measure  those instruments at  fair  value.   Robinson
    Nugent  will adopt the new standard in fiscal 2001.  Robinson  Nugent
    does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact
    on its financial statements.

                         OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



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


Customer  orders for the second quarter ended December 31, 1999, amounted
to  $23.7  million, up 32 percent from orders of $18 million in the  same
quarter  of  the  prior year.  Customer orders for the six  months  ended
December 31, 1999 amounted to $50.8 million, up 46 percent from orders of
$34.8 million in the prior year.  This increase in customer orders in the
first  half  of  the year reflected a 27 percent increase in  the  United
States,  a  103 percent increase in Europe and a 37 percent  increase  in
Asia.   The  Company increased its backlog of unshipped orders  to  $20.1
million,  an increase of 57 percent compared to $12.8 million at December
31,  1998, and 55 percent compared to $13 million at June 30, 1999.   The
Company's  backlog  in  the United States has increased  29  percent  due
primarily  to  increased  orders  of  connectors  for  Internet   related
applications  such  as servers, routers, hubs and other telecommunication
equipment.  The European backlog increased 176 percent, primarily due  to
an  increase in customer orders of smart card reader connectors  used  in
digital satellite receivers and television set top boxes.  Based  on  the
improved  incoming  order  activity and a  higher  backlog  of  unshipped
orders,  management anticipates a continuation of the Company's  improved
performance  as  Robinson Nugent enters what has been  traditionally  the
strongest half of the fiscal year.  Growth trends in the Company's target
market  segments, including Internet related applications  and  satellite
communications  interfaces,  as  well as the  general  connector  market,
continue to be strong.

Net  sales increased 30 percent in the quarter to $22.8 million  compared
to $17.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year, and increased 9
percent  compared  to  $20.9 million in the first quarter  of  the  year.
Customer sales in the United States increased 20 percent to $13.9 million
compared to $11.6 million in the second quarter of the prior year.  Year-
to-date customer sales in the United States increased 30 percent to $28.3
million  compared to $21.8 million in the first half of the  prior  year.
The  Company continues to experience higher levels of incoming orders and
sales activity on its more profitable backplane connectors, and its high-
density,  surface mount, fine pitch board-to-board interconnect  systems.
These  types  of  connectors  are used in  communication  and  networking
components  utilized  to  support  the infrastructure  of  the  Internet.
Profit margins remain strong in this region due to the Company's focus on
this highly technical and rapidly expanding market segment.

European customer sales increased 60 percent to $6.9 million compared  to
$4.3  million  in the second quarter of the prior year, and increased  51
percent to $11.8 million in the first six months of the year compared  to
$7.8 million in the prior year.  This sales increase is due primarily  to
an  increase in customer orders and sales of next-generation, value added
smart  card readers with integrated printed circuits, as well as standard
single  and  double smart card reader connectors.  These  connectors  are
currently in demand by major communication and digital satellite receiver
manufacturing  companies in Europe.  The European  management  team  will
continue  to  focus its engineering and its sales effort on this  growing
business  niche. Based on higher incoming order activity and an  increase
in   the  backlog  of  unshipped  orders  in  these  product  categories,
management  anticipates  improved sales performance  in  this  geographic
region as the year progresses.  Profit margins in Europe have been  under
pressure  due  to the weakening of the Euro when compared  to  the  pound
sterling  and  the U.S. dollar. The feasibility of Robinson Nugent  using
currency  exchange rate hedging techniques to protect profit  margins  is
limited.   Management will continue to pursue cost effective measures  to
mitigate currency rate exposure risk.

<PAGE>
Customer sales in Asia, which includes sales generated from operations in
Japan, Malaysia and Singapore, were $2.0  million in the quarter compared
to $1.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year, and $3.6 million
year to date compared to $2.8 million in the prior year.

Gross  profits  in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 amounted  to  $6.5
million  or 28.4 percent of net sales, compared to $3.9 million  or  22.2
percent of net sales in the prior year.  Gross profits for the six months
amounted  to  $12 million or 27.5 percent of net sales compared  to  $6.7
million or 20.7 percent of net sales in the first half of the prior year.
Gross  profits are net of engineering charges associated with new product
development, which amounted to $1.1 million or 4.8 percent of  net  sales
in  the  current quarter compared to $0.9 million or 5.1 percent  of  net
sales  in  the  prior year.  Year-to-date engineering charges  were  $2.3
million  or  5.3  percent of net sales compared to $1.7  million  or  5.2
percent of net sales in the prior year.  The increase in gross profits in
the  quarter  compared to the prior year reflects higher  gross  margins,
improved  manufacturing  efficiencies,  and  plant  utilization.    Gross
profits  continue to be favorably impacted by the increase  in  sales  of
newer, high-value Internet related products.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the first half  of  the
year  were  $8.5  million compared to $6.7 million  in  the  prior  year.
Selling,  general  and administrative expenses of $4.5  million  for  the
three  months  ended December 31, 1999 increased 37 percent  compared  to
expenses  of $3.3 million in the second quarter of the prior  year.  This
increase  was  due  primarily  to higher sales  commission  expenses  and
operating  expenses related to the new information system in  Europe  and
the United States.

The Company recorded special and unusual expenses of $0.4 million before
taxes, in the quarter. These expenses include personnel costs incurred to
design and implement the new information and enterprise resource planning
system in Europe and the Company's cable assembly operations in North
America.  This system is now operational for all of the Company's
connector and cable assembly operations in the United States, Mexico and
Europe.  The Company successfully completed the worldwide implementation
of its new information system in the quarter.  This system was designed
and implemented to satisfy <PAGE>
Y2K  requirements,  enhance management and control systems,  and  improve
customer services and vendor communications.

Other  income and expense for the three months ended December  31,  1999,
reflect  expenses  of $385,000 compared to $175,000  for  the  comparable
three-month  period in the prior year and $622,000 compared  to  $393,000
for  the comparable six-month period.  Other income and expense reflected
currency losses in the current quarter of $193,000 compared to a currency
gain  of  $3,000  in the second quarter of the prior year  which  reduced
earnings  per  share by three cents ($.03) in the quarter.   Current  and
prior  year-to-date  results  include currency  losses  of  $268,000  and
$64,000 respectively.  There was a slight increase in interest expense in
the  current quarter and year to date compared to the prior year  due  to
increased  borrowings.   Currency losses in the  quarter  were  generated
primarily  in Europe and the United States, but were partially offset  by
currency gains in Japan.

The  provision  for  income  taxes  was provided  using  the  appropriate
effective  tax  rates  for  each of the tax jurisdictions  in  which  the
Company  operates.  The Company maintains a valuation allowance  for  tax
benefits  of  prior period net operating losses in various jurisdictions.
At such time as management is able to project the probable utilization of
all  or  part  of  these net operating loss carryforward provisions,  the
valuation allowances for these deferred tax assets will be reversed.

The  net  income in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 amounted to  $0.9
million or 17 cents per share, compared to $39,000 or 1 cent per share in
the  second quarter of the prior year.  The net income for the six months
amounted to $1.7 million or 33 cents per share compared to a net loss  of
$1.3 million or 26 cents per share in the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
- ---------------------------------

Working  capital at December 31, 1999 amounted to $18.5 million  compared
to $12.7 million at December 31, 1998 and $14.7 million at June 30, 1999.
The current ratio was 2.4 to 1 at December 31, 1999 compared to 2.2 to  1
at  December 31, 1998.  The increase in working capital, compared to  the
prior  year,  primarily  reflects a $4.7  million  increase  in  accounts
receivable, partially offset by increases in accounts payable.  Long-term
debt excluding current installments was $11.4 million as of December  31,
1999, and represented 44 percent of shareholders' equity at December  31,
1999, compared to $10.2 million or 46 percent of shareholders' equity  at
December 31, 1998.

The  Company  believes  future working capital  and  capital  expenditure
requirements  can  be  met  from cash provided by  operating  activities,
existing  cash  balances,  and borrowings available  under  the  existing
credit facilities.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND YEAR 2000 ISSUES
- ----------------------------------------

The   Company  successfully  completed  the  implementation  of  its  new
worldwide management information system in the quarter.  This information
system   addresses   business  and  system  processes   including   order
management,  manufacturing  resource planning,  finance  and  accounting.
These  systems  were  implemented at a total cost of  approximately  $6.8
million.   All  operations in North America, Europe and  Asia  have  been
converted  to Y2K compliant systems.  The Company has incurred  costs  in
the  current  quarter and year to date of approximately $0.7 million  and
$1.2  million respectively.  Expenditures in the current quarter  include
$0.4  million  of personnel costs that are reflected in the  special  and
unusual expense category of the statement of operations, and $0.3 million
of  capital  expenditures.   Funding  for  these  expenditures  has  been
provided  by operating activities, existing cash balances and  borrowings
available under the existing credit facilities.

Expenses  and  capital expenditures for this project for  the  first  six
months of the year were $0.6 million and $0.6 million respectively.

<PAGE>
The  Company  expects  that  this  new integrated  system  will  increase
operational efficiencies and support future growth.  As of this date, the
Company has not experienced any significant adverse difficulties with any
of its systems, its key suppliers, vendors or customers' systems relative
to Y2K.
