           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Interim Financial Statements
   The  results of operations for the interim periods shown in this  report
   are  not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal
   year.   In  the opinion of management, the information contained  herein
   reflects  all  adjustments necessary to make the results  of  operations
   for  the interim periods a fair statement of such operations.  All  such
   adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

   Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted  from
   the  interim financial statements presented in the Quarterly  Report  on
   Form  10-Q.   Therefore, these financial statements should  be  read  in
   conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2  Financing
   On  June  30,  2000  Eastern Research, Inc. (ERI), a subsidiary  of  the
   Company,  entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a  bank.   The
   agreement provides ERI with two credit facilities.  The first is a  term
   loan  in  the  amount of $7,000,000 due on July 1, 2001,  interest  only
   payable  monthly  at  the  LIBOR Market  Index  Rate  plus  1.25%.   The
   proceeds of the term loan were received early in July 2000 and all  were
   used  to  repay a portion of the inter-company loans due to Allen  Organ
   Company.  The second facility is a $5,000,000 revolving line of  credit,
   due  on July 1, 2001, interest payable monthly at the LIBOR Market Index
   Rate  plus  1.50%.  The line of credit has been obtained to provide  ERI
   with   future  working  capital.   Both  credit  facilities  have   been
   guaranteed by Allen Diversified, Inc. and Allen Organ Company.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
    Cash  flows from operating activities increased during the  six  months
ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999, primarily due
to  increases  in  operating  income in  the  Musical  Instruments  segment
resulting  from higher sales volume.  Cash flows from operations  decreased
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period  in
1999  primarily  due  to increases in inventory in the Data  Communications
segment.

    Cash flows from investing activities were used to purchase property and
equipment  including  approximately $600,000  and  $1,238,000  respectively
during  the  three  and six months ended June 30, 2000  for  new  computer,
office  and test equipment to support the growth of the Data Communications
segment.

    As  indicated in Note 2 above, Eastern Research, Inc. has obtained bank
financing to provide them with future working capital as well as  funds  to
repay  a  portion of ERI's inter-company loans due to Allen Organ  Company.
These financing facilities have been obtained to begin to provide ERI  with
financial autonomy as the Company considers strategic alternatives for ERI.

Musical Instruments Segment
    Sales  increased $1,775,447 and $2,232,236 respectively, for the  three
and  six  months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same  periods  in
1999  due to higher shipments which decreased the order backlog and changes
in product mix to include the shipment of larger organ models.

    The  gross  profit percentage  increased to  41% and 39%  respectively,
in  the  three  and  six  months ended June  30,  2000  from  25%  and  27%
respectively  in the same periods in 1999. This increase is due  to  higher
sales  volume  over which to absorb fixed costs, changes  in  product  mix,
savings  realized in connection with closing the Rocky Mount, NC  plant  on
March 31, 1999, as well as other operational improvements.

    Selling, general and administrative, research and development  expenses
increased slightly during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 when
compared to the same periods in 1999.

Data Communications Segment
    Sales  increased $1,629,348 and $5,953,428 respectively, for the  three
and  six  months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same  periods  in
1999.    Eastern   Research,  Inc.  (ERI)  sales  increased   approximately
$1,248,000  and  $4,595,000  to  $6,825,000 and  $13,234,000  respectively,
during  the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, when compared to  the
same  periods  in  1999  due to higher incoming  order  volume  through  an
expanded   customer  base.   VIR  Linear  Switch  (VIR)   sales   increased
approximately   $336,000   and  $1,313,000  to  $947,000   and   $2,596,000
respectively  during  the three and six months ended  June  30,  2000  when
compared to the same periods in 1999 primarily due to higher sales  of  its
new TAS DS1 and DS3 products.

    Gross profit margins increased to 47.9% in the first six months of 2000
from  45.3%  in the same period of 1999 due to higher sales  of  ERI's  DNX
product line and VIR's TAS DS1 and DS3 products.  The current quarter gross
margin  was  45.9% compared to 49.2% in the second quarter of 1999  due  to
production start-up costs related to new products.

     Sales   and  marketing  expenditures,  primarily  at  ERI,   increased
approximately  $517,000  (36%) and $1,307,000 (51%)  respectively  for  the
three  and six months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same periods
in  1999.  This was primarily due to continued efforts to promote the ERI's
products,  obtain  additional  market share and  develop  new  channels  of
distribution.

    General  and  administrative expenses increased approximately  $200,000
(36%)  and  $386,000 (35%) respectively for the three and six months  ended
June  30, 2000 when compared to the same periods in 1999, primarily related
to  additional  management and administrative personnel  added  at  Eastern
Research to support its growth.

    Research  and  development expenditures, primarily  at  ERI,  increased
approximately  $574,000  (67%) and $1,167,000 (74%)  respectively  for  the
three  and six months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same periods
in  1999.   These  expenditures will continue to  increase  in  the  future
reflecting the commitment to new product development.

Electronic Assemblies Segment
   Sales increased $1,096,669 and $1,387,778 respectively for the three and
six  months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same periods in  1999.
Gross  profit  percentages for the three and six months ended increased  to
approximately  20%  as  compared to 15% during the same  periods  in  1999.
These increases are due to higher order volume.

    Selling,  general  and  administrative   expenses  for  the  first  six
months of 2000 were approximately equal to the same period in 1999.

Audio Equipment Segment
   Sales increased $542,496 and $578,977 for the three and six months ended
June  30,  2000  when compared to the same periods in 1999.   Gross  profit
margins decreased to 38% in the first six months of 2000 as compared to 40%
in 1999.

   Selling, general and administrative costs increased during the first six
months  of 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999 from higher  sales
and marketing expenditures.

Other Income and Expense
    Investment  income increased slightly during the three and  six  months
ended  June 30, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999 due to higher
returns on invested funds.

   Gain on Sale of Property, Plant & Equipment for the three and six months
ended  June 30, 1999 includes approximately $1,068,000 of gains related  to
the  sale  of  the Rocky Mount, NC facility which was closed on  March  31,
1999.

    The  Company  has  experienced and expects to  continue  to  experience
fluctuations  in  its  results  of operations.   Factors  that  affect  the
Company's  results of operations include the volume and  timing  of  orders
received,  changes  in the mix of products sold, market acceptance  of  the

global  currency  valuations,  the Company's  ability  to  meet  increasing
demand, the Company's ability to introduce new products on a timely  basis,
the timing of new product announcements and introductions by the Company or
its  competitors,  changing customer requirements, delays  in  new  product
qualifications, the timing and extent of research and development  expenses
