     adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
     statements referred to above have been made, none of
     which were other than normal recurring accruals.

- - ------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
        Financial Condition
        -------------------
        
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 (ended
April 30) were $1.2 million, or $.18 per share, on sales of
$70.9 million, compared with net earnings of $483,000, or $.07
per share, on sales of $71.6 million in the year-ago quarter.
Earnings increased on substantially level sales primarily due
to improved margins on favorable product sales mix and reduced
amortization expense as a result of the write-off of
intangible assets associated with the fourth quarter 1993
restructuring plan.  For the six months ended April 30, 1994,
net earnings were $750,000, or $.12 per share, on sales of
$128.7 million, compared with net earnings of $814,000, or
$.12 per share, on sales of $138.9 million in the prior-year
period.

Second quarter 1994 sales in each of the Company's three
business segments were essentially level compared with the
prior-year quarter, but improved compared with first quarter
1994's exceptionally low sales volume.  For the six months
ended April 30, 1994, individual group sales were
approximately 7% lower than a year earlier.  Recent
strengthening in Automation Group markets is reflected in
improved group operating earnings for both the three- and six-
month periods ended April 30, 1994.  In the Instrumentation
Group, operating earnings for the current quarter and year-to-
date periods decreased primarily due to continuing competitive
pressures in the utilities and industrial manufacturing
markets.

Company-wide gross margin as a percent of sales for the three
months ended April 30, 1994 improved to 39.3% compared with
38.1% for the year-ago period.  Individual operating group
gross margin percentages ranged from 38% to 41%.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses in 1994's second quarter
decreased $353,000 from the prior year.  For the first-half
periods, these expenses were $2.8 million lower than a year
ago.  The decreases are primarily due to reduced sales
commissions resulting from the lower sales level in the first
quarter of 1994, and to reduced amortization expense resulting
from the 1993 restructuring plan and continuing cost
containment efforts.  Interest expense was $99,000 lower in
the second quarter of 1994 compared with the same prior-year
quarter due to lower debt levels.  Effective income tax rates
for the second quarter and first half of 1994 were 37% and
38%, respectively, compared with 40% for the year-ago periods.

Order input in the second quarter of 1994 totaled
$84.2 million, compared with $62.6 million in the prior-year
quarter.  For the first six months of 1994, order input was
$144.9 million, compared with $125.2 million a year earlier.
The increases are primarily attributable to a pickup in
domestic markets for key Automation Group operations and to
the favorable timing of receipt of long lead-time orders in
the Aerospace and Defense Group.  Backlog at April 30, 1994
was $87.7 million, compared with $83.6 million a year ago and
$77.3 million at the beginning of the current quarter.  At
April 30, 1994, Company-wide backlog expected to be delivered
after fiscal 1994 was $24 million.

The Company's fourth quarter 1993 restructuring plan remains
substantially on schedule.  Of the $40.6 million pre-tax
restructuring charge recorded in fiscal 1993, $16 million is
related to actions completed prior to April 30, 1994,
including the write-off of intangible assets and the sale of
assets (excluding plant) of a subsidiary, Republic Electronics
Co.  The remaining $24.6 million relates to ongoing actions
which, in management's opinion, is adequate based on current
cost estimates and includes the sale or shutdown of certain
small operations, anticipated losses on sale of vacant
facilities, employee severance, and consolidation of
facilities for increased efficiency.

Financial Condition
- - -------------------

Cash requirements in connection with the fourth quarter 1993
restructuring plan have not been significant, and in the case
of the Republic sale, proceeds exceeded out-of-pocket sale
costs.  On an overall basis, no significant cash requirement
as a result of the restructuring is anticipated.

The Company's total debt at April 30, 1994 was $66.6 million,
a reduction during 1994's second quarter of $6.3 million which
was financed by cash generated from operations and with
proceeds from the Republic sale discussed above.  Working
capital increased $2.8 million during the second quarter to
$12.7 million primarily due to paydown of current debt,
partially with proceeds from the Republic sale.  Capital
expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $10 million
during fiscal 1994, compared with $9.6 million in fiscal 1993.
At April 30, 1994, $5 million had been expended.  Capital
expenditures primarily consist of machinery and equipment and
computers.  The Company expects to finance its foreseeable
working capital requirements and capital expenditures from
available cash resources, including bank credit lines and
funds generated from operations.  Total funds available at
April 30, 1994 consisted of cash on hand of $98,000, plus
approximately $34 million available under short-term
commitments with domestic and foreign banks.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- - ------- -----------------

In late 1992, Korry Electronics received a subpoena for
records from the Department of Defense, Office of the
Inspector General, relating to a government investigation
focusing on whether Korry properly certified that certain
switches used in military equipment were in compliance with
applicable specifications and testing standards.  Without
admission of any wrongdoing on Korry's part, in April 1994 the
government and Korry settled the matter for $250,000.

The Company has various lawsuits, claims, investigations and
contingent liabilities arising from the conduct of business,
including those associated with government contracting
activities, none of which, in the opinion of management, is
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
