          DESIGNATRONICS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

(a)    Sales

Net  sales increased 13.8% for the second quarter ended  February
28,  1995 and 12.3% on a year-to-date basis, as compared  to  the
respective prior year periods. Sales for the Mechanical Component
segment increased 16.4% to $5,757,000, in the second quarter, and
16.6% to $11,338,000, on a year-to-date basis, as compared to the
fiscal  1994 figures. This continued increase in sales shows  the
positive  effects of the Companys' combined catalog  library  and
its  continued  expansion of its customer  base.  Sales  for  the
Automation  Components segment decreased 1% to  $965,000  in  the
second quarter, and 8.2%, to $1,871,000, on a year-to-date basis,
as  compared to the fiscal 1994 figures. The Company does not see
this  decrease as being a trend as the backlog for the Automation
component  segment has increased 10% from fiscal year-end  August
31, 1994.

Export  sales, for the second quarter, decreased 10% to $500,000,
and  2% on a year-to-date basis, to $1,104,000 as compared to the
prior  year  figures.  The Company does not believe that the current
quarter decrease constitutes a trend.

(b)    Gross Profit Margins

The  Company's  consolidated gross profit margin for  the  second
quarter  and  year-to-date periods ended February 28,  1995  were
38.7%  and 37.2%, as compared to the prior year figures of  36.7%
and   36.1%  respectively.  The  gross  profit  margin  for   the
Mechanical Components segment increased to 36.5% for the year-to-
date  period  compared to 34.6% in fiscal 1994. The gross  profit
margin  for the Automation Components segment decreased to  41.2%
as  compared  to  42.8% in the prior year.  This  change  can  be
attributed  to  the increased import costs due to  the  decreased
value of the dollar oversees.

(c)    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage  of
sales,  were 30.4% in the current quarter and 29.7% on a year-to-
date basis as of February 28, 1995, as compared to 29.5% for both
the  quarter and year-to-date periods in fiscal 1994. The current
quarter  increase reflects the Company's expansion of its efforts
in the marketing and advertising areas.

(d)    Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the year to date period ended February
28, 1995 was 37.9% compared to an effective tax rate of 37.8% for
the same period last year.


Financial Condition

The  Company's working capital position as of February  28,  1995
was  $10,556,000 as compared to $9,824,000 as of the  year  ended
August 31, 1994. The current ratio at February 28, 1995 is  5.2:1
and was 4.3:1 at August 31, 1994.

Net  cash provided by operations was $37,000 for the year-to-date
period  ended February 28, 1995. The major uses of cash were:  1)
payments  due  under  severance contracts  of  $297,000,  2)  the
increase in accounts receivable of  $348,000, and 3) the decrease
in  accrued  expenses  of $579,000. The total  use  of  cash  was
partially  offset by cash provided from an increase  in  accounts
payable of $445,000.
