                   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

Note B - Sale of Hi-Shear Corporation


     On February 26, 1996, pursuant to approval received at the Annual Meeting
of shareholders on February 23, 1996, the Company sold its aerospace fastener
subsidiary, Hi-Shear Corporation and allied companies, to GFI Industries S.A.
for $46 million in cash.  The sale represents substantially all of the Company's
operating assets.  The Company's claims against the U.S. Navy in respect of the
termination of certain contracts as well as related tax loss carry-forwards are
being retained.  Finalization of the purchase price will be based upon the
completion and review of the closing balance sheet of Hi-Shear Corporation and
verification of the net asset value as required under the terms of the sale.

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


Results of Operations

     On February 26, 1996, the Company completed the sale of its aerospace
fastener businesses to GFI Industries S.A. for $46 million subject to
adjustment.  The sale constitutes the disposition by the Company to all of its
operating businesses.  The following is a discussion of operations for the
period prior to the sale.

     Revenues for the third quarter ended February 29, 1996 were $15.1 million
compared with $14.5 million for last year's third quarter.  Revenues increased
to $46.3 million for the nine months ended February 29, 1996 from $42.6 million
for the same last year period.  The Company achieved operating income of $50,000
for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to operating income of $74,000 for
the third quarter of the prior year.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1996,
the Company's operating income was $106,000, compared to last year's nine month
operating income of $353,000.  The net income for the three months ended
February 29, 1996 was $1,709,000 or $.29 a share versus net loss of $241,000 or
$.04 a share for the same three month period last year.  For the nine months
ended February 29, 1996, the net income was $1,035,000 or $.18 a share as
compared to net loss of $596,000 or $.10 a share for the same period last year. 
A gain on the sale of a subsidiary of $2,013,000 or $.34 a share is reflected in
both current year periods.


     The decline in operating results, despite an increase in revenues, is
primarily attributable to the prolonged downturn in production of commercial
aircraft.  The 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.  Although orders for
aircraft fasteners are improving, increases in pricing levels remain difficult
to achieve.  Operating margins remain tight and the Company is still working off
older, lower price contracts which is having an adverse effect on operating
results.  In addition, increasing material and labor costs are eroding the
savings achieved on cost reduction and production improvement programs
instituted at the beginning of fiscal 1995.  We have instituted measures to
begin dealing with this situation and expect that operating conditions will
gradually improve over the next several quarters.

     Interest expense increased in the current quarter and nine month period due
to an increase in interest rates.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has maintained a secured three year revolving credit and term
loan facility primarily to provide working capital for the domestic Aerospace
Fastening Systems operation.  A U.K. subsidiary maintained a separate $2.3
million working capital loan facility.  Under the terms of an agreement
involving the sale of the aerospace fastener subsidiaries to GFI Industries
S.A., these obligations were satisfied on February 26, 1996.
