                      HI-SHEAR INDUSTRIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      -----------------------------------------
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



          Note A - Basis of Presentation

               The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hi-
          Shear Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries (Company) have been
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles for interim financial information and with the
          instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. 
          Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
          footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
          for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
          all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
          considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 
          The results of operations of any interim period are subject to
          year-end audit and adjustments, and are not necessarily
          indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year.  For
          further information, refer to the consolidated financial
          statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
          report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1995.

          Note B - Subsequent Event

               On October 9, 1995 Hi-Shear Industries signed a definitive 
          agreement for the sale of its aerospace fastener subsidiary, Hi-Shear
          Corporation and allied companies, to GFI Industries S.A. for $46 
          million in cash.  GFI, a publicly traded French company, has 
          aerospace, automotive and industrial fastener operations which 
          primarily serve the European market.  The proposed sale, which is 
          expected to be finalized in early 1996, would be subject to the 
          approval of Hi-Shear Industries' stockholders and of regulatory 
          authorities. The transaction represents the sale of substantially all
          of Hi-Shear Industries' operating assets except for its net operating
          loss carryforwards and its claims against the U.S. Navy in respect of
          the termination of certain contracts.  A decision in favor of Hi-Shear
          Industries by the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals has been 
          appealed by the U.S. Department of Justice. Hi-Shear Industries plans
          to use approximately $12.5 million of the proceeds to repay existing 
          indebtedness.  No plan for the disposition of the remaining proceeds 
          has yet been made.  Proxy materials will be disseminated to 
          stockholders in the near future.  David A. Wingate, Chairman and 
          Chief Executive Officer of Hi-Shear Industries, Philip M. Slonim, a 
          director of Hi-Shear Industries, and certain other stockholders of 
          Hi-Shear Industries, who together hold approximately 30.4% of the 
          outstanding common stock, have agreed to vote in favor of the 
          transaction.

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


          Results of Operations

               Revenues for the first quarter ended August 31, 1995 were
          $14.9 million compared with $13.8 million for last year's first
          quarter.  The Company incurred an operating loss of $145,000 for
          the first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with a loss of $43,000
          reported for the first quarter of the prior year.  The net loss
          for the first three months of fiscal 1996 was $475,000 or $.08 a
          share compared with a net loss of $328,000 or $.06 a share for
          the same period last year.

               The decline in operating results, despite an increase in
          revenues, is primarily attributable to the prolonged downturn in
          production of commercial aircraft.  This low level of aircraft
          production has negatively impacted the domestic and foreign
          fastener industry resulting in overcapacity, downward pressure on
          pricing levels and decreased profitability.  In addition, the
          Company has incurred higher than anticipated costs in the current
          quarter associated with restructuring its manufacturing
          operations.  The Company has taken steps to bring these costs
          under control but expects difficult operating conditions to
          continue for the next several quarters.

               Interest expense increased in the current quarter due to an
          increase in interest rates.

               The Company did not record a provision or benefit for
          federal income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 due to
          the Company's tax loss carryforward position, in accordance with
          the rules of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
          "Accounting For Income Taxes."

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



          Liquidity and Capital Resources

               The Company currently maintains a secured three year
          revolving credit and term loan facility primarily to provide
          working capital for the domestic Aerospace Fastening Systems
          operation.  At August 31, 1995 the Company had $11,200,000
          outstanding under this facility at 10.75%.  The Company also
          utilizes operating leases to satisfy the larger capital
          expenditure requirements of its fastener operations.  A U.K.
          subsidiary maintains a separate $2.3 million working capital term
          loan facility of which $1,300,000 was outstanding at August 31,
          1995.

               Working capital at August 31, 1995 was $21,754,000 compared
          to $22,283,000 at May 31, 1995.  The decline is primarily due to
          a reduction in inventories and an increase in short term debt,
          offset by increases in accounts receivable.

               The Company believes that cash flow from operations and
          available credit facilities will provide sufficient liquidity to
          meet working capital, capital expenditures and other ongoing
          business requirements.  Capital expenditures, consisting
          primarily of plant modifications and the normal upgrading and
          replacement of existing machinery and equipment is expected to be
          $3.5 million in fiscal 1996.

               On September 28, 1995 the Company reported that the United

          Board of Contract Appeals May 30, 1995 decision converting the
          1991 terminations for default of two contracts with the U.S. Navy
          into terminations for the convenience of the Government.
