                              (Unaudited)


(1) Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited 
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments 
necessary to present fairly the financial position of Panatech as of 
June 30 and March 31, 1996 and the results of operations and cash 
flows for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

     The accounting policies followed by Panatech are set forth in 
Note 1 to the financial statements in the 1996 Panatech Annual Report 
filed on Form 10-KSB.

     The results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 
30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
expected for the full year.

(2) Cash Dividend

     In April, 1995, the Board of Directors voted the Company's first 
cash dividend.  The Company's dividend history is as follows:

                                Date Paid   Per share amount

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
              Condition and Results of Operations


Financial Condition

     Panatech's resources, in the opinion of management, are adequate 
for projected operations and capital spending programs, and the 
continuation of semi-annual cash dividends which are presently at a 
rate of approximately $810,000 per year.
 

Results of Operations

     For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had sales 
of $2,801,000, a decrease of $454,000, or 14%, from the same quarter 
a year ago, partially reflecting heavy product shipments in last 
year's first quarter for initial stocking of a new marketing channel 
by one of the Company's largest OEM customers.  Gross profit was 
57.9% of sales compared to 59.9% of sales in last year's first 
quarter, largely due to the lower volume.  Selling, general, and 
administrative expenses were $850,000, or 30.3% of sales, compared to 
$966,000, or 29.7% of sales last year, with reductions being made to 
compensate for lower sales.  Operating income was $704,000 compared 
to $923,000 in the year-earlier quarter, mainly due to the lower 
gross profit generated by sales.

     Interest income was $34,000 compared to $29,000 last year 
principally due to higher levels of investment in the money markets.  
Interest expense was $10,000 compared to $30,000 in last year's first 
quarter mainly due to the payment last year of the outstanding 
balance of long-term debt.

     Income before income taxes declined from $922,000 to $728,000. 
Provision for income taxes was $305,000 compared to $391,000 last 
year.  Therefore, net income  was $423,000, or $.10 per share 
compared to $531,000, or $.14 per share, last year.  In 1996, average 
shares outstanding were 4,049,000 shares compared to 3,819,000 last 
year, with the increase mainly due to the exercise of warrants in the 
second and third quarters of last year.

the following page for a description of an arbitration hearing wich 
could have an effect on the Company's future performance.

                     PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     On April 10, 1995, the Company's wholly owned operating 
subsidiary, ASM Company, Inc. ("ASM") filed a complaint against Titan 
Tool, Inc. ("Titan"), in the United States District Court for the 
Central District of California, alleging that a new product recently 
introduced by Titan infringes three patents relating to ASM's primary 
product, the ZIP-TIP.  In September 1995, the parties agreed to 
dismiss all claims against each other for financial damages and to 
submit all patent issues to final and binding arbitration before a 
single arbitrator.  The arbitration hearing was held in February and 
March 1996, and the arbitrator's decision, which was originally 
expected to be rendered by the end of June 1996, is now expected to 
be given by the end of August 1996.

     The Company believes that an adverse result of this arbitration 
could significantly affect its plans to build market share for this 
product line over the next three to five years.
