ITEM 1 - BUSINESS:
- ------------------

The Registrant, Jetronic Industries, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is
referred to as "the Company" unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
During 1996, the Company discontinued its marine electronic and communication
business (Ray Jefferson) because of competitive pricing pressures and a general
softness in the marine market and abandoned a portion of its switchgear product
line. Effective July 31, 1992, holders of the Company's 10% and 14 1/2%
Subordinated Convertible Debentures converted a portion of their bonds into
common stock in satisfaction of mandatory principal payments. The Bondholders
also deferred payment of the accrued interest thereon. In addition, effective
July 31, 1992, Redeemable Preferred Stock was converted into common stock. In
January 1992, certain trade creditors of the Company's retail furniture and
appliance operation (Levin's) filed a petition to place Levin's in Chapter 7 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code. Levin's has liquidated all of its assets. On
January 6, 1997, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby the
Trustee accepted $100,000 in full and final settlement of all claims, payable
over a thirteen month period. In March 1997, the Company acquired the assets,
subject to certain liabilities, of certain subsidiaries of Woven Electronic
Corporation. There have been no other significant developments related to the
Company's business.

Operating profit is total revenue less operating expenses. In computing
operating profit by segment, none of the following items have been added or
deducted: general corporate expenses, corporate interest expense, corporate
interest income and income taxes.

Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in the Company's
operations in each segment. Corporate assets are principally prepaid and other
assets.

During 1997-1995, respectively, contracts with United States Government agencies
accounted for approximately $930,000, $974,000 and $2,903,000 of total sales in
the electronic communication equipment and energy conversion products group
segments.

  Description of the business:
  ----------------------------

Jetronic was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 12,
1951.

Jetronic is engaged in the design, development, manufacture, distribution and
sale of electronic equipment for commercial and government use through its
"Electronics" and "Transchem" divisions and Redco subsidiary.

The Electronics Division designs and manufactures, to customer specification,
digital data control terminals.

The Transchem Division (energy conversion products group) manufactures and
markets precision solid state power supplies, primarily for the aircraft and
aerospace industries.

Redco, Inc. (energy conversion products group) manufactures and markets
paralleling and nonparalleling electrical switchgear and control systems, along
with the metal enclosures in which the equipment is housed. Redco, Inc. supplies
standardized control panels on a regular basis to major domestic engine
manufacturers (principally Caterpillar, Inc.) and designs, builds and installs
complex cogeneration control systems.

Government business is obtained both through competitive bidding and by
negotiated contract. Commercial products are marketed by Jetronic's officers,
sales managers and a network of manufacturers' representatives. All phases of
Jetronic's business are highly competitive. Each of Jetronic's operating
entities competes with other concerns, some of which have substantially greater


                                      - 2 -


<PAGE>


sales and resources than Jetronic. Each of the operating entities accounts for
only a small portion of sales in its area of competition. The five largest
commercial customers of the energy conversion products group accounted for 70%
of that group's sales, one of which accounted for 57%. Prime contract sales to
the U.S. Government accounted for 1% of the sales of the energy conversion
products group and 100% of the electronic communication equipment business, or
4% of Jetronic sales. At January 31, 1997, the total backlog of orders amounted
to $4,237,000 of which $722,000 consisted of direct U.S. Government business. At
January 31, 1996, the total backlog was $5,997,000 of which $672,000 consisted
of direct U.S. Government business. Of the backlog at January 31, 1997, 17%
represents orders of the Electronics Division and 83% represents orders of the
energy conversion products group. All of the backlog is expected to be filled
within the current year.

Jetronic purchases components, raw materials and finished products from numerous
sources and has generally experienced no significant difficulty in obtaining its
requirements. The business is not materially dependent on patents, licenses or
concessions; Jetronic's position is more dependent on experience and its
marketing and production techniques. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, Jetronic
expended $33,000, $48,000 and $26,000, respectively, on research activities for
the development of new products or the significant improvement of existing
products, all of which were Company sponsored. Future expenditures are expected
to be near 1997 levels. Environmental controls have not had a material effect on
operations. At January 31, 1997, Jetronic employed 162 people.

Leased properties are considered suitable for the purposes intended and adequate
for present levels of utilization. The Company has no significant idle
facilities.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
- ---------------------------

On January 29, 1992, certain trade creditors of Harry Levin, Inc., the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, engaged in the retail furniture and appliance business
("Levin's"), filed a petition to have Levin's placed in Chapter 7 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. On January 6, 1997, the Company entered into a
settlement agreement whereby the Trustee accepted $100,000 in full and final
settlement of all claims, payable over a thirteen month period. The Company has
also been named in a suit by a former vendor's sales representative alleging
breach of contract. Management of the Company believes that such claim, if
asserted, will be without merit and will be resolved without any material
adverse impact on either the financial condition or operations of the Company.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
- ------------------------------------------------

  Results of operations:
  ----------------------

In the following commentary, "Operating Profit" is total revenue less operating
expenses. In computing operating profit or loss, none of the following items
have been added or deducted: general corporate expenses, corporate interest
expense, corporate interest income and income taxes. The following should be
read in conjunction with business segment and geographic information on pages 1
and 2.

  1997 compared with 1996:
  ------------------------

The Company reported revenues of $23,671,000 and an operating profit of $576,000
for the year ended January 31, 1997 (1997) compared to revenues of $22,353,000
and an operating profit of $81,000 for the year ended January 31, 1996 (1996)
before a write-off of $1,392,000 related to the consolidation of the energy
conversion product line. Results of operations for 1996 after the consolidation
charge amounted to a loss of $1,311,000.

The electronic communication equipment operations reported revenues of $688,000
and an operating profit of $146,000 for 1997 compared to revenues of $820,000
and an operating profit of $23,000 for 1996. The reduction in revenues is a
direct result of the U.S. Government's de-emphasis of military programs. The
increase in profitability is a result of the Company's downsizing in reaction to
the reduction in Government business opportunities. The Company did receive an
add-on to its existing contract for delivery during the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1998.

The energy conversion products group reported revenues of $22,983,000 and an
operating profit of $2,835,000 for 1997 compared to revenues of $21,533,000 and
an operating profit of $2,429,000 for 1996 before the inventory write-off due to
a consolidation of product line, which reduced profitability to $1,037,000. The
increase in revenues is attributable to the switchgear business, whereas the
increase in profitability is primarily associated with the solid state power
supply business which is beginning to realize the effect of its prior investment
in the aerospace industry.

Net corporate expenses, comprised of interest expense and general corporate
items, were $2,405,000 in 1997 compared to $2,371,000 in 1996.

  1996 compared with 1995:
  ------------------------

During 1996, the Company discontinued its marine electronic and communications
business (Ray Jefferson) because of competitive pricing pressures and a general
softness in the marine market. As a result of this discontinuance the Company
incurred $998,000 of losses, which included a $500,000 reserve in the fourth
quarter in anticipation of final phase-down costs and write-down of remaining
assets. Additionally, in the course of consolidating the energy conversion
product group's manufacturing facilities, inventory not presently used in a
major customer's current product line was abandoned resulting in a one-time
charge of $1,392,000 in the fourth quarter. The Company reported revenues of
$22,353,000 and an operating profit of $81,000 for the year ended January 31,
1996 (1996) before the write-off related to the consolidation of the energy
conversion product line. Results of operations after the consolidation charge
amounted to a loss of $1,311,000. The Company reported revenues of $18,824,000
and an operating loss of $32,000 for the year ended January 31, 1995 (1995).

                                      - 5 -



<PAGE>


The electronic communication equipment operations reported revenues of $820,000
and an operating profit of $23,000 for 1996 compared to revenues of $2,641,000
and an operating profit of $1,008,000 for 1995. The reduction in revenues and
operating profit is a direct result of the U.S. Government's de-emphasis of
military programs. Additionally, although the Company received a new contract
from the U.S. Government to produce equipment similar to that delivered under
previous contracts, the necessity to retain the cadre of experienced personnel
and the associated costs negatively impacted operations until award of the
contract. The Company expects that this de-emphasis will be continuing.

The energy conversion products group reported revenues of $21,533,000 and an
operating profit of $2,429,000 for 1996 before the inventory write-off due to a
consolidation of a product line compared to revenues of $16,183,000 and an
operating profit of $1,368,000 for 1995. Both revenues and profitability
increased primarily due to an increase in the custom switchgear business. There
still exists softness in the solid state power supply business, but recent
quotation activity indicates a potential return to previous business levels.

Net corporate expenses, comprised of interest expense and general corporate
items, were $2,371,000 in 1996 compared to $2,408,000 in 1995. 1995 reflects a
one-time charge of $259,000 for the cancellation of accrued interest related to
stock subscriptions.

  Liquidity and capital resources:
  --------------------------------

During 1997 and 1996, the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries were
financed by a lending institution under various formulae which provide operating
funds as required. Such borrowings are primarily in the form of short-term
loans, secured by assignment of accounts receivable and inventories. Under the
various formulae, borrowings are limited to varying percentages and maximum
dollar amounts of accounts receivable and inventories with a maximum limitation
of $5,000,000. As of January 31, 1997, such borrowings amounted to $2,836,000
with an additional availability based on the various formulae of $609,000. The
Company's line of credit agreement with its current lender expires on June 30,
1999.

At this time, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures. Cash
requirements for the next fiscal year should remain level with the current year.
Based upon the availability of funds under the various existing financing
arrangements, the Company deems its liquidity to be adequate.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

    Principles of consolidation:
    ----------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jetronic
Industries, Inc. ("Jetronic") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Estimates:
    ----------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Concentration of credit risk:
    -----------------------------

The Company maintains cash accounts which, at times, may exceed federally
insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash
accounts in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes it is not
exposed to any significant credit risks on its cash accounts.

    Inventories:
    ------------

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for a portion of energy conversion products
(15% of consolidated inventory) and on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for
the remaining portion of energy conversion products and electronics. Progress
billings in advance of delivery reduce inventory.

    Property, plant and equipment:
    ------------------------------

Property, plant and equipment includes the cost of additions and those
improvements which increase the capacity or lengthen the useful lives of assets.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation
is computed principally on the straight-line method over the anticipated useful
lives of the respective assets.

    Goodwill:
    ---------

Goodwill which arose from the acquisition of Redco, Inc. is being amortized over
forty years on the straight-line method. Such balance is net of accumulated
amortization of $105,000 in 1997 and $95,000 in 1996.

    Revenue recognition:
    --------------------

Sales of products under long-term contracts involving definable end items are
recognized as shipments are made.

    Research and development costs:
    -------------------------------

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Such costs
amounted to $33,000, $48,000 and $26,000 in 1997 - 1995, respectively.


                                     - 13 -

                            JETRONIC INDUSTRIES, INC.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

    Selling, general and administrative expenses:
    ---------------------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative costs were reduced in 1996 by $335,000 as a
result of a gain on the sale of a building and refund of prior years' state
taxes.

    Income taxes:
    -------------

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109 the deferred tax
provision is determined under the liability method. Under this method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted rates.

    Per share data:
    ---------------

Common share and common share equivalent per share data are based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and of common share
equivalents deemed to be outstanding during the year, except when dilutive.
Common share equivalents are represented by stock options and warrants reduced
by the number of common shares assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds
from the exercise of the options and warrants.

When dilutive, the computation of fully diluted per share data is based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares as if convertible
debentures had been converted into common stock at the beginning of the
respective periods after giving effect to the elimination of interest expense,
net of income taxes, applicable to the debentures. There was no dilution in
1997, 1996 or 1995.

The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used to
compute primary per share data was 3,604,000 in 1997, 3,604,000 in 1996 and
3,722,000 in 1995.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

During 1996, the Company discontinued its marine electronic and communications
business (Ray Jefferson) located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Revenues and
results of the discontinued marine electronic and communication operations are
summarized below.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Current replacement cost on a first-in, first-out basis for all inventories
approximated $5,199,000 and $4,220,000 at January 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Inventory values are stated net of valuation reserves of $45,000
and $20,000 at January 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

During 1996 and 1995, certain inventory quantities were reduced. These
reductions resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at
lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current
purchases, the effect of which decreased net loss by $39,000 in 1996 ($.01 per
share) and increased net income by $7,000 in 1995.

During 1996, in the course of consolidating the energy conversion product
group's manufacturing facilities, inventory not presently used in a major
customer's current product line was abandoned resulting in a one-time charge of
$1,392,000 in the fourth quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $103,000, $219,000 and
$319,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 6 - INDEBTEDNESS:

The Company's lender has made available lines of credit aggregating up to
$5,000,000 to the Company and its subsidiaries at interest rates 2.25% above
prime with a similar commitment fee on amounts up to a $3,000,000 minimum. Such
borrowings are primarily in the form of short-term loans, secured by assignment
of accounts receivable and inventories. At January 31, 1997, $2,836,000 of
demand loans were outstanding under these credit arrangements. Total unused
lines of credit available at January 31, 1997 approximated $609,000. The
weighted average interest rate applicable to all short-term borrowings
outstanding at the end of the year approximated 10.64% in 1997 and 11.44% in
1996.

Notes payable and term loans are variously secured by substantially all of the
Company's accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment and
capital stock of subsidiaries. Provisions of these agreements contain certain
restrictive covenants which restrict investments in other companies, forego
dividend payments and payments to subordinated debenture holders other than
normal interest.

The Debentures are subordinated to the prior payment of all senior indebtedness.
In May 1995, the Bondholders agreed to extend the maturity of both issues to
December 1999, reduce the rate of the 14 1/2% debentures to 10% and waive the
existing mandatory redemption obligations.

The term loans are secured by various machinery and equipment. The Philadelphia
Industrial Development Company (PIDC) loan is secured by a first lien against
the Company's computer system at its Headquarters location.

Principal repayment obligations on all long-term debt amount to $84,000 in 1998,
$85,000 in 1999, $3,934,000 in 2000, $68,000 in 2001 and $15,000 in 2002.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK AND OTHER SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

During 1991, shareholders approved the granting of up to 565,774 options on
shares of common stock under the 1990 Incentive Stock Option Plan. Options are
exercisable immediately upon grant and expire five years after the date of
grant. The option price must be at least equal to the fair market value of the
common stock at the time of grant. There were 286,000 Options issued under the
1990 Plan, none of which have been exercised and all of which have lapsed.

In 1985, certain officers executed promissory notes in the amount of $258,000 on
exercise of options to acquire 117,700 shares of Jetronic Industries, Inc.
common stock. As of January 31, 1995, there was due $259,000 of accrued interest
on account of the unpaid principal balance of said notes. Under provisions of
the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law in effect in 1984, the Company had no
power to accept a promissory note in consideration of the issuance or sale of
common stock, whether secured by pledge or otherwise. Accordingly, counsel for
the Company has determined that the stock was invalidly issued and that the
transactions were ultra vires and void. The officers have delivered the shares
of common stock to the Company. The accrued interest has been cancelled and is
reflected as a charge to general and administrative expenses for the year ended
January 31, 1995.

In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company has provided a valuation allowance
relative to net operating loss carryforwards because realization is not
reasonably assured at this time. The Company will periodically review the
likelihood of realizing these assets and adjust the valuation allowance as
needed. The valuation allowance decreased by $150,000 in 1997 as a result of the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards against current federal income
taxes and increased by $653,000 in 1996 due to the operating losses incurred.

For federal income tax purposes, at January 31, 1997 the Company has net
operating loss carryforwards of $8,732,000 which will expire from 2003 to 2011.
The Company also has investment tax credit carryforwards of $82,000 at January
31, 1997 which will expire through 2000.

NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

Jetronic has a qualified profit sharing plan covering certain employees.
Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
No contributions were made in 1997 or 1996; $25,000 was contributed in 1995. The
Company also has a 401(k) plan for eligible employees to which contributions of
$8,000, $11,000 and $12,000 were made in 1997 - 1995, respectively.

Certain subsidiaries maintain qualified profit sharing or defined contribution
plans for their employees under a collective bargaining agreement. The Company's
obligation is based on a rate per hour worked. Contributions to such plans were
$155,000, $130,000 and $135,000 in 1997 - 1995, respectively.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company rents certain of its facilities under noncancelable operating
leases. At January 31, 1997, total rental commitments under these leases, which
expire periodically through 2006, aggregated $1,293,000. Under the terms of
these lease agreements, expenses such as taxes, insurance, maintenance and
repairs are paid by the Company. Total rental commitments approximate $249,000,
$207,000, $121,000, $113,000, $113,000 for the years 1998 through 2002,
respectively and $490,000 thereafter. Total rental expense under all operating
leases was $344,000, $295,000 and $348,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

The Company has entered into employment agreements requiring minimum annual
payments of $250,000 until 2001. At January 31, 1997, the Company had a total of
162 employees, of which approximately 49% are represented by a union whose
existing labor agreement expires in May 1998.

Management is of the opinion that no excess profits have been realized on sales
to government agencies or contractors and, accordingly, has made no provision
for renegotiation of profits or profit limitations, if any, to which the Company
may be subject.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

On January 29, 1992, certain trade creditors of Harry Levin, Inc., the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary engaged in the retail furniture and appliance business
("Levin"), filed a petition to have Levin's placed in Chapter 7 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. On January 6, 1997, the Company entered into a
settlement agreement whereby the Trustee accepted $100,000 in full and final
settlement of all claims, payable over a thirteen month period. The Company has
also been named in a suit by a former vendor's sales representative alleging
breach of contract. Management of the Company believes that such claim, if
asserted, will be without merit and will be resolved without any material
adverse impact on either the financial condition or operations of the Company.

NOTE 11 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The carrying amounts of all assets and liabilities (other than long-term debt)
considered financial instruments approximate fair value because of the short
term maturity of these items.

The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value because of the
short term maturity of a portion of the liability and because the interest rates
approximate market interest rates.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

In March 1997, the Company acquired the assets, subject to certain liabilities,
of certain subsidiaries of Woven Electronic Corporation for a total purchase
price of $715,000, of which $200,000 was paid in cash and the balance evidenced
by a three year 8% note with quarterly payments beginning April 1998.

NOTE 13 - BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:

Business segment and geographic information for the years ended January 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 included on pages 1 and 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K
is an integral part of these financial statements. In 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, Caterpillar, Inc. accounted for 55%, 51% and 56% of consolidated
revenues.
