ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OF ASSETS-AMENDMENT TO FORM 8K FILED
          OCTOBER 31, 1997

The form 8K filed with the Commission on October 31, 1997 with
respect to the Company's acquisition of Floating Arms, Inc.
indicated that certain information concerning the Financial
Statements of the Business Acquired and the required Pro Forma
Financial Information would be filed by amendment in accordance
with the provisions of Item 7 (a)(4) and 7(b)(2) of Form 8K. 
This information is hereby submitted.

ITEM 7         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(A)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED

     1.   Audited Balance Sheet and Notes as of December 31, 1996
          (previously filed)

     2.   Unaudited Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1997

     3.   Unaudited Statements of Income for the years ended
          December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the three and nine month
          periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997

     4.   Unaudited statements of Cash Flows for the years ended
          December 31, 1995 and 1996

     5.   Unaudited statements of Stockholders Equity for the
          years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996

Item 310 of Regulation SB requires that certain of the financial
information listed above be audited.  As advised by letter to the
Commission dated November 25, 1997, audited financial statements
of the business acquired could not be obtained without
unreasonable effort or expense.  The accompanying unaudited
financial information excludes footnote disclosures typically
made in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
because it was the only information available from the Seller. 
An audit of these statements had not been previously performed. 
It is the Company's opinion that the effort and expense necessary
to prepare audited financial statements meeting the requirements
of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Item 310 of
Regulation SB would entail unreasonable effort and expense
compared to the size of the acquisition.  The Company believes
that audited financial statements would not be material to
understanding the transaction and its possible effect on Cramer. 
The future results of the Company's activities concerning the
split keyboard business acquired will be included with the
regular financial statements provided in accordance with the
appropriate SEC regulations.

The Company believes that the interim financial statements for
Floating Arms, Inc., presented herein, include all adjustments
necessary in order to make such financial statements not
misleading.

(B)  PROFORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following proforma financial statements are derived using the
separate financial statements of the Company and Floating Arms,
Inc.  As discussed in (a) above, the financial statements of
Floating Arms, Inc. may not be in compliance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles or SEC regulations and do not
include all required disclosures.  As such, the accompanying
proforma presentations also may not be in compliance with GAAP
and SEC regulations.

     1.   Proforma Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1997

          The unaudited Proforma Balance Sheet assumes that the
          acquisition of the assets of Floating Arms, Inc. and
          the payment for such assets by cash, the assumption of
          certain debts, and the issuance of 210,750 shares of
          common stock occurred on September 30, 1997.

     2.   Proforma Statements of Income for the Year Ended
          December 31, 1996 and for the Nine Month Period Ended
          September 30, 1997

          The respective proforma Statements of Income assume
          that the acquisition of the assets of Floating Arms,
          Inc. and the payment for such assets by cash and the
          assumption of certain debts occurred on the first day
          of the period presented.

The above proforma financial information do not purport to
present the financial position or results of operations of the
Company had the transactions assumed herein occurred on the date
indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of
operations which may be expected to occur in the future.

The proforma financial statements are based on a preliminary
purchase price allocation which is calculated based on available
information and certain assumptions the Company considers
reasonable.  The final purchase price allocation will be based
upon a final determination of the fair market value of the net
assets acquired at the acquisition date as determined by
valuations and other studies which are not yet complete.  The
final purchase price allocation may differ significantly from the
preliminary allocation.

NOTE:  Footnotes a, b, c, d, and e are on the following page.

Footnotes to the Cramer, Inc. Unaudited Proforma Balance Sheet:

(a)  Proforma adjustment to cash represents amounts paid at
     closing.  The Proforma adjustment to Notes Payable - banks
     represents the net additional amount borrowed by the Company
     to settle all liabilities that existed at the closing date,
     October 31, 1997.

(b)  Proforma adjustment to prepaid expense represents amounts
     that had been paid to vendors by the Company prior to the
     acquisition date to guarantee future delivery of inventory.

(c)  Proforma adjustment to Accumulated Depreciation represents
     the elimination of depreciation previously recorded by
     Floating Arms, Inc.  In management's opinion, the original
     cost of the assets approximates their current fair market
     value.

(d)  Proforma adjustments to Other Noncurrent Assets represents
     the values assigned to certain intangible assets acquired as
     part of the transaction.  In management's opinion, these
     intangibles and their respective values consist of:

          Customer Lists                               $    100
          Patent                                             50
          Excess of purchase price over 
           fair value of assets acquired (goodwill)         222
                    Total                              $    372

(a)  Proforma adjustment to Selling, Administrative and R&D Costs
     represents the net of elimination of depreciation previously
     recorded by Floating Arms, Inc. and the additional
     depreciation that would be recorded by the Company on the
     Property, Plant and Equipment and the Intangible assets
     acquired as a result of the transaction.  The estimated
     useful lives of the significant asset categories are as
     follows:
 
          Production tooling                            5 years
          Patent                                       10 years
          Customer lists                               10 years
          Excess of purchase price over fair 
            value of assets acquired                   10 years

(b)  Proforma adjustment to interest expense represents the net
     of eliminating the interest paid by Floating Arms, Inc. on
     its various bank debts and the additional interest that
     would have been paid by the Company if it financed both the
     initial borrowings and the liabilities assumed through
     additional borrowings under its share of the Consolidated
     Rotherwood Line of Credit (see Management Discussion and
     Analysis in the 1996 Form 10-KSB).
