                    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 (The 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, 1996.


Note B - Contingencies

     On January 31, 1996, the Company filed damage claims against the U.S. Navy
totaling $62.9 million.  These claims arose from the termination of two
contracts held by a subsidiary, Defense Systems Corporation.  These claims are
currently being audited by the government and their amount may be contested by
the U.S. Navy.  Therefore the amount or timing of the recovery cannot be
predicted at this time.  The Company has, since May 1995, been accruing
additional costs incurred, primarily claims preparation and legal, as claims
receivable.  At November 30, 1996 claims receivable of $2.0 million are included
as other long term assets on the balance sheet, as management believes
collection of such amounts are probable.  Since the amount of recovery of these
claims cannot presently be determined, no recognition from any settlement
proposal, other than the claim receivable noted above, has been reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.

     In connection with the sale of Hi-Shear Corporation in February 1996, the
Company and the purchaser have been unable to reach an agreement as to the
proper valuation of certain assets and liabilities contained in the closing
balance sheet of HSC.  The purchaser has requested a downward adjustment to the
sales price of $6.4 million and as required under the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the matter is being referred to an arbitrator. Management of the Company does
not believe that adjustments, if any, will have a material adverse impact on its
financial position.  Due to the uncertainty of the outcome of this arbitration,
no adjustments which may occur as a result of the arbitration have been
recognized in the Company's November 30, 1996 financial statements.

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


Results of Operations

     On February 26, 1996, the Company sold its last remaining operating entity,
Hi-Shear Corporation and effectively ceased  operations.  Since that time , the
Company has made an effort to reduce corporate staff and expenses to a minimum
level.  During the six months ended November 30, 1996, corporate overhead
totaled $893,000 which included approximately $150,000 in termination costs. 
The interest income reported during the current period was due to interest
earned on the investment of the proceeds from the sale of Hi-Shear Corporation.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On February 26, 1996, the Company completed the sale of Hi-Shear
Corporation to GFI Industries S.A. for a total purchase price of $46 million
generating net proceeds from the sale , after deducting transaction costs, of
$44.4 million.  Of that amount, approximately $13 million was used to repay all
amounts outstanding under the Company's loan agreements and the remaining
balance was deposited in short term investment accounts.  The Company has
previously announced its intention to liquidate and distribute the proceeds from
this sale as well as any settlement received from the resolution of the
Company's long standing dispute with the U.S. Navy.  In this regard, the Company
made an initial  liquidating distribution to shareholders of Approximately $23.4
million ($4 per share) on August 1, 1996.  At November 30, 1996 the Company had
$6.1 million remaining in cash and cash equivalents.

     Under the terms of the agreement for the sale of Hi-Shear Corporation, the
Company must maintain working capital of not less than $3,000,000 through March
31, 1997.  Subsequent to that date the Company may distribute all remaining
funds subject to the resolution of purchase price adjustments, if any, with GFI.

     The Company's cash requirements include (i) ongoing costs relating to
pursuing the settlement of the Company's dispute with the U.S. Navy, (ii)
professional fees and other costs associated with defending GFI's request for
purchase price adjustments; and (iii) general and administrative expenses.  The
Company anticipates that existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient
to satisfy the Company's cash requirements through the time of settlement with
the U.S. Navy and GFI and final liquidation of the Company.  Although management
cannot currently estimate when these situations will be resolved, the Company
has retained what it considers sufficient funds to allow it to pursue equitable
settlements with regard to all open matters currently pending.
