                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Administrative Committee
Reliability Incorporated Employee
  Stock Savings Plan and Trust


    We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Reliability Incorporated Employee Stock Savings Plan and
Trust (the Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of
the Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

    Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental
schedule of assets held for investment purposes at December 31, 1995 and
schedule of reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995,
are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements.  The Fund Information in Note F is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of
each fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                  EMPLOYEE STOCK SAVINGS PLAN AND TRUST
                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            December 31, 1995

NOTE A - PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS

In July 1983, Reliability Incorporated (the "Company" or "Employer") adopted
an Employee Stock Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan").  Under the Plan,
employees of the Company who meet the requirements described below are
eligible to participate in the Plan.

The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The Plan is administered by an Administrative
Committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors of the
Company.  All assets of the Plan are held under discretionary trust
agreements.  The preparation of certain portions of the financial statements
of the Plan may require the use of estimates.

United States employees of the Employer who have attained the age of 21 and
have completed 1 year of service, as defined in the Plan, become a member
("Member") of the Plan on the January 1 or July 1 next following the date
on which they became eligible and may elect to make contributions to the
Plan as described below.  

Under the Plan, a Member may contribute, through payroll deductions, an
amount ("Employee Contribution") equal to 2 to 15 percent of defined
compensation.  The Member may further elect to have all or a portion of his
contributions not be subject to federal income taxes under Section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code.  Defined compensation excludes bonuses,
commissions, shift differentials, overtime premiums, and similar payments. 
Participants may increase or decrease contribution percentages monthly.

The Employer matches the Employee Contribution by an amount ("Employer
Contribution") equal to 50 percent of the Employee Contributions to a
maximum of 2 percent of the Member's defined compensation.  Also, the
Employer annually contributes to employed Members a supplemental amount
("Employer Voluntary Contribution") equal to 1 percent of the Members'
defined compensation for the period during which they were Members.

A Member receives a vested interest in the balances in the Employer
Contribution and Employer Voluntary Contributions for his benefit plus
allocated earnings and realized and unrealized gains and losses thereon (his
"Employer Account") based upon years of service (as defined in the Plan) as
follows:
                                                    Vested interest in
      Years of Service                               Employer Accounts 
      ----------------                              ------------------
       Less than 3                                         0%
            3                                             20%
            4                                             40%
            5                                             60%
            6                                             80%
            7                                            100%


A Member always has a 100 percent vested interest in the balance in his
Employee Contributions plus allocated earnings and realized and unrealized
gains and losses thereon (his "Employee Account").

               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

                            December 31, 1995

NOTE A - PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS - Continued


Upon death or total and permanent disability, a Member is automatically
fully vested in his Employer Accounts.  If the Plan is terminated by the
Company, all Members become fully vested in all their accounts.

NOTE B - PLAN INVESTMENTS

Effective January 1, 1995, the Trustee of the Plan is the Consulting Group
of Smith Barney, Inc.  A member may elect to invest his contribution in one
or more of six funds:  (i) the Reliability Incorporated ("RI") Common Stock
Fund; (ii) the Large Capitalization Value Equity Investments Fund; (iii) the
Large Capitalization Growth Investments Fund; (iv) the Small Capitalization
Growth Investments Fund; (v) the International Equity Investments Fund; and
(vi) the Stable Value Investments Fund.

The contribution to each fund elected may not be less than 5 percent of the
Member's total contributions.  The investment election for future
contributions and existing fund balances may be changed daily.  The minimum
investment balance in any selected fund is 5% of the Member's Employee
Account.

Employee Contributions to the Large Capitalization Value Equity Investments
Fund are primarily invested in a diversified portfolio of highly liquid
common stocks, with an emphasis on companies with an above average total
return potential.  The Fund's assets will be invested primarily in common
stocks of issuers with total market capitalization of $1 billion or greater
at the time of purchase.  The fair value of the Fund is based on quoted
market prices of those stocks it owns.

Employee Contributions to the Large Capitalization Growth Investments Fund
are primarily invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, with an
emphasis on companies with superior prospects for long-term earnings growth. 
The Fund's assets will be invested primarily in common stocks of issuers
with total market capitalization of $1 billion or greater at the time of
purchase.  The fair value of the Fund is based on quoted market prices of
those stocks it owns.

Employee Contributions to the Small Capitalization Growth Investments Fund
are primarily invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, with an
emphasis on companies with capitalization of less than $1 billion and with
superior potential for capital appreciation.  The fair value of the Fund is
based on quoted market prices of those stocks it owns.

Employee Contributions to the International Equity Investments Fund are
primarily invested in equity securities of companies domiciled outside the
United States.  The fair value of the Fund is based on quoted market prices
of the equity securities it owns.

Employee Contributions to the Stable Value Investments Fund are primarily
invested in a portfolio of investment contracts issued by high quality life
insurance and investment companies.  The fair value of the Fund is based on
the face value of the investments it owns.

                            December 31, 1995

NOTE B - PLAN INVESTMENTS - Continued


Employee Contributions to the RI Common Stock Fund are invested in the
common stock of the Company, which is purchased by the Trustee in the open
market, and in temporary short-term investments.  The fair value of the RI
Common Stock Fund is based on quoted market prices.

During the year ended December 31, 1994, KeyCorp was the Trustee and a
Member could elect to invest his Employee Contributions in one or more of
six funds:  (i) the RI Common Stock Fund; (ii) the EB Money Market Fund;
(iii) the Victory Intermediate Income Fund; (iv) the Victory Value Stock
Fund; (v) the Victory Growth Stock Fund; and (vi) the Victory Special Growth
Stock Fund.  

Employee Contributions to the EB Money Market Fund were primarily invested
in high grade money market instruments.  The average life of the Fund's
investments was less than 120 days and a minimum of 20% of the Fund was
invested in overnight investments.  The fair value of the Fund is based on
the face value of its interest bearing certificates.

Employee Contributions to the Victory Intermediate Income Fund were invested
in investment-grade debt securities issued by corporations and obligations
of the U.S. Government and its agencies or instrumentalities.  The Fund may
also invest in preferred stocks and intends to maintain a dollar weighted
average portfolio maturity of approximately three to eight years.  The fair
value of the Fund is based on quoted market prices of those securities it
owns.

Employee Contributions to the Victory Value Stock Fund were primarily
invested in a diversified group of common stocks, with an emphasis on
companies with above average total return potential.  The fair value of the
Fund is based on quoted market prices of those stocks it owns.

Employee Contributions to the Victory Growth Stock Fund were invested in a
diversified group of common stocks, with an emphasis on companies with
superior prospects for long-term earnings growth and price appreciation. 
The fair value of the Fund is based on quoted market prices of those stocks
it owns. 

Employee Contributions to the Victory Special Growth Stock Fund were
invested in common stocks of small companies with a market value of less
than $1 billion and medium-sized companies with a market value of $1-$5
billion that are believed to have superior prospects for long-term earnings
growth and price appreciation.  The fair value of the Fund is based on
quoted market prices of those stocks it owns.

Employer Contributions and Employer Voluntary Contributions are invested
solely in the RI Common Stock Fund.  Purchases of securities are reflected
on the trade dates.  A participant who is 55 years of age and who is 100%
vested in his Employer Accounts may elect to have a portion of his balance
in these accounts diversified to other investment funds offered under the
Plan.  This election may be made only once during each Plan year.

NOTE B - PLAN INVESTMENTS - Continued

Administrative expenses are paid by the Company.  Gains and losses realized
on the sale of securities in the RI Common Stock Fund are recorded on an
average cost basis.  

NOTE C - WITHDRAWALS AND TERMINATIONS

A Member may elect to withdraw all or a portion of his Employee
Contributions.  If the employee elected to have his contributions treated
as not subject to federal income taxes, as described in Note A, certain
restrictions may apply.  A Member making such an election is not permitted
to make future Employee Contributions prior to the first day of the month
following the expiration of twelve months from the date of such withdrawal.

Upon a Member's termination of employment, the Member may elect the method
of distribution of his Employee and vested Employer Accounts from the
following settlement options:

      (1)   Lump-sum payment or

      (2)   Periodic (monthly or quarterly) installments over a period not
            to exceed 20 years.  If distributions are payable in this
            manner, the Member's Employee and Employer Accounts are
            segregated and placed in a Distribution Account where gains,
            losses, and earnings thereon are allocated.  The Distribution
            Account is invested in one of the six funds as elected by the
            Member as described in Note B.  This option is only available
            for amounts accrued prior to January 1, 1995.

The nonvested portions of the Employer Accounts of a Member whose employment
is terminated prior to the attainment of seven years of service or who
retires prior to Normal Retirement Age (as defined in the Plan), are
forfeited and allocated among the other Members ($8,036 in 1995 and $9,238
in 1994) as follows:

      (1)   The portion related to Employer Contributions is allocated to
            the Members who have made Employee Contributions through the
            entire Plan year in the ratio that each such Member's Employee
            Contributions during the Plan year bears to the Employee
            Contributions for all Members for the Plan Year; and

      (2)   The portion related to Employer Voluntary Contributions is
            allocated to those Members receiving such contributions in the
            ratio that each such Member's defined compensation for the Plan
            Year, or that portion of the Plan Year during which he was a
            Member of the Plan, bears to the total defined compensation for
            all Members for the Plan year.

Forfeitures do not reduce the Employer's Contribution or the Employer's
Voluntary Contribution.

her non-forfeitable accrued benefit or 3) the total of his or her Employee
Account.  The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan term is
five years.  Loan payments are made through payroll deductions.  

NOTE E - FEDERAL INCOME TAX AND ERISA

A favorable determination letter dated June 28, 1995, was received from the
Internal Revenue Service for the Plan as amended on March 23, 1993,
regarding its qualification under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code, and the Plan is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions
of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan was amended and
restated on April 3, 1995 (effective January 1, 1995) and on February 28,
1996 and the Plan's Administrative Committee believes that the Plan, as
amended and restated, continues to be qualified.  The Administrative
Committee is currently in the process of obtaining a determination letter
for the Plan. See Note G for information on the February 28, 1996 amendment.

NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Plan was amended on February 28, 1996. Effective April 1, 1996, the
participation requirement was changed from one year of service to six months
of service and entry into the Plan is allowed on the first day of the month
following the completion of the waiting period of six months.  Additionally,
the amendment provided that all Employee Contributions subsequent to
February 1, 1996 will not be subject to federal income taxes under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Prior to the amendment, Employee
Contributions could be deducted from defined compensation after federal
income taxes had been withheld.  Effective January 1, 1995 the amendment
confirmed the Plan's policies regarding (i) diversification of Employee
Contributions for participants over age 55 as discussed in Note B, (ii) loan
procedures, as discussed in Note D, and (iii) the limitation of the Plan's
investment in Reliability Incorporated common stock to ninety (90%) percent
of Plan assets.
