NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The accompanying financial statements contain all normal recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted under such rules and regulations although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.  The year-end balance sheet data were derived from
audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. These unaudited financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included
in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
August 31, 1994.  Interim results of operations for the nine month period ended
May 27, 1995 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

(2) INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include materials,
labor and overhead costs.  The first-in, first-out cost method is used in
valuing inventories.  Inventories consist of the following:

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                   HEI, INC.

FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's net cash flow provided by operating activities was $2,915,000 for
the nine months ended May 27, 1995.  This included net income of $1,726,000,
non-cash depreciation and amortization of $565,000, and a net reduction of
$624,000 in current operating items for the first nine months of fiscal 1995.
The current operating items reduction included increased accounts payable of
$219,000, increased accrued liabilities of $117,000 and decreased receivables of
$530,000, partially offset by increased inventories of $207,000.  The inventory
increase is primarily due to increased work in process toward customer scheduled
build requirements.

Accounts receivable average days outstanding were 43 days of as of May 27, 1995
as compared to 55 days for the same period a year ago.  Inventory turns were 9.6
turns as of May 27, 1995 as compared to 6.5 turns for the same period a year
ago.  The inventory turn increase is primarily due to higher shipments and lower
inventories for the three month period ended May 27, 1995.

In March 1995, the Company completed a new financing agreement which provides
for a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit.  As of May 27, 1995, there were no
borrowings under the line.  Borrowings under this agreement would be
collateralized by accounts receivable.  The agreement contains certain
restrictive covenants including limitations on obtaining other borrowings and
requiring maintenance of specified financial levels and ratios for net income,
tangible net worth and debt to tangible net worth.  Borrowings are limited to
$3,000,000 or the borrowing base, which is 80% of eligible accounts receivable.
Interest on the borrowings is, at the Company's option, the lender's prime rate
of interest or 2% above the lender's LIBOR rate.

During fiscal 1995, the Company intends to invest approximately $1.0 million in
capital equipment and manufacturing facility improvements.  These additions are
deemed necessary in order to strengthen the Company's infrastructure while
maintaining its concentration on further quality improvements and market
expansion in fiscal 1995.  It is anticipated that most, if not all, of these
expenditures can be funded through internally generated funds.
Capital equipment expenditures for the nine months ended May 27, 1995 were
$559,000, primarily for production equipment, including die placement systems
and automatic wire bonding equipment.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NET SALES

1995 vs. 1994:  HEI, Inc's net sales for the three months and nine months ended
May 27, 1995 increased 29% and 63%, respectively, as compared to the same period
a year ago as a result of stronger microelectronic sales.  Microelectronic sales
increased 34% and 77%, respectively, from the same three month and nine month
periods last year.  For the three months, microelectronic sales increased due to
higher shipments to the high density disk drive market as well as stronger sales
to medical related markets.  For the nine months, microelectronics sales
increased primarily as a result of higher shipments to the high density disk
drive market.  Peripheral product sales decreased 7% and 8% from last year's
comparable three month and nine month periods, respectively, as a result of
lower demand.

As reported earlier, the Company announced that it was commencing a production
build up for a new customer, a major manufacturer of high density disk drives,
while winding down production for another disk drive manufacturer.  This
transition was completed during the first month of the third quarter.

GROSS PROFIT

1995 vs. 1994:  For the three months ended May 27, 1995, gross profit decreased
$165,000, or 11%, from last year with the gross profit rate decreasing to 22%
from 31% last year.  A decline in gross profit rates was expected for the second
half of fiscal 1995 as the product mix evolves to a heavier portion of new
programs bid under increasing price competition as well as the consequence of
start-up costs on several new programs. For the nine months ended May 27, 1995,
gross profit increased $1,891,000, or 61%, from last year with the gross profit
rate at 28% for both periods.  The gross profit increase for the nine months is
primarily due to the effect of increased shipments.

OPERATING EXPENSES

1995 vs. 1994:  Operating expenses for the three month period ended May 27, 1995
increased 8% from last year's comparable period. Operating expenses were 13% of
net sales as compared to 16% for the third quarter of last year.  Operating
expenses for the nine month period ended May 27, 1995 increased 15% from last
year's comparable period.  Selling, general and administrative expense for the
three and nine month periods increased primarily due to higher sales expense in
support of the increased revenues.  Research, development and engineering
expense increased primarily due to the increased level of testing done to
support new product development.

INCOME TAXES

During each quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company is recording income tax expense
based on the expected effective rate for the full year.  The expected effective
income tax rate for fiscal 1995 is approximately 36.6% compared to 37.5% for
fiscal 1994.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NET INCOME

1995 vs. 1994:  The Company had net income of $364,000 for the third quarter of
fiscal 1995 compared to $485,000 for the same period a year ago.  The Company
had net income of $1,726,000 for the nine month period ended May 27, 1995
compared to $659,000 for the same period a year ago.  The decrease in net income
for the three month period of 1995 was the result of lower gross profit rates on
new programs.  The increase in net income for the nine month period is primarily
due to higher sales volume, as compared to a year ago.
