                    -----------------------------------------
                   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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  The
financial statements presented herein have not been audited by independent
public accountants, but include all material adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows for such periods.  However, these results are not necessarily indicative
of results for any other interim period or for the full year. The consolidated
balance sheet data presented herein for May 31, 1997 was derived from the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year then
ended.  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make
certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the
financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could
differ from these estimates.  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, 1997.


Note B - Contingencies

     On January 31, 1996, the Company filed damage claims against the U.S. 
Navy totaling $62.9 million arising from the termination of two contracts 
held by a subsidiary, Defense Systems Corporation.  These claims are subject 
to government audit and their amount is being contested by the U.S. Navy.  
Therefore the amount or timing of the recovery cannot be predicted at this 
time.  The Company had previously written off additional costs associated 
with this matter due to uncertainty of the outcome, however, since the 
rendering of the favorable decision in May 1995, the Company began accruing 
additional costs incurred, primarily claims preparation and legal, as claims 
receivable. At August 31, 1997 and May 31, 1997 claims receivable of $2.5 
million and $2.3 million, respectively, are included as other long term 
assets on the balance sheet, as management believes such amounts are 
reasonable and collectable. 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.

Note C - Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share."  SFAS No. 128 supersedes and simplifies the existing computational
guidelines under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per
Share."  It is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997.  Among other changes, SFAS No. 128 eliminates the
presentation of primary EPS and replaces it with basic EPS for which common
stock equivalents are not considered in the computation.  It also revises the
computation of diluted EPS.  It is not expected that the adoption of SFAS No.
128 will have a material impact on the earnings per share results reported by
the Company under the Company's current capital structure

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", which established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components.  This statement requires a separate statement to
report the components of comprehensive income for each period reported.  The
provisions of  this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997.  Management believes this statement may require expanded
disclosure in the Company's 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 its subsidiaries and effectively ceased  operations. 
Since that time , the Company has reduced corporate staff and expenses to a
minimum level.  During the first quarter ended August 31, 1997 and 1996,
corporate overhead totaled $439,000 and $570,000, respectively, which consist
primarily of the ongoing costs necessary to pursue the settlement of the
Company's dispute with the U.S. Navy.  The interest income reported during the
quarter was due to interest earned on the investment of the proceeds retained
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 August 31, 1997 the Company had
$4.0 million remaining in cash and cash equivalents.

     The Company's cash requirements include ongoing costs relating to pursuing
the settlement of the Company's dispute with the U.S. Navy and 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 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.
