The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been 
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Although certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- ------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------

As of March 31, 1994, the working capital ratio for the Corporation remained 
strong at 2.98 to 1 compared to 2.78 to 1 at December 31, 1993.

Joslyn spent $2.5 million on the purchase of the assets of the Poleline 
Hardware Division of the Stanley G. Flagg Company which consist of fiberglass 
and iron cast poleline hardware.  Other significant reasons for the net $6.0 
million decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents are summarized in the Condensed
Statement of Cash Flows.

Due to the Corporation's strong cash position, the lines of credit established 
with financial institutions were reduced from $15 million to $10 million.

Significant Balance Sheet fluctuations between March 31, 1994 and December 31, 
1993 were 1) Accounts Receivable was $3.2 million greater primarily because 
sales in March 1994 were $4.0 million, or 12.5%, greater than in December 1993 
and 2) Accounts Payable was $2.6 million, or 20.9%, less on March 31st due to 
the short-term timing of payments.

The Corporation continued minor product line revisions by selling a product 
line of Cutouts for an immaterial amount.

The Electrical Technologies segment net sales and operating income decreased 
11% and 12%, respectively, for the first quarter of 1994 compared to the 
corresponding quarter in 1993.  The 1993 first quarter was a record first 
quarter for this segment.  Increased performance by Hi-Voltage and Joslyn 
Jennings did not offset weak quarters by Power Products, Joslyn Electronic 
Systems and Air-Dry Corporations.  Weather related problems and slower than 
anticipated introduction and acceptance of new products contributed to this 
segment's weaker performance.

The Utility Systems business segment's net sales increased 3% in the first 
quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of 1993 as sales of the hardware  
products improved. The segment's operating income, however, decreased 12% for 
the same time primarily due to shifts in product mix and reduced foreign sales 
by Electrical Apparatus.  During this quarter, the marginally profitable 
product line of cutouts was sold and the assets of another product line of 
fiberglass and iron cast poleline hardware were purchased but the sales of the 
new product line were not significant in the current quarter.

Joslyn was able to keep the gross profit margin in the first quarter of 1994 
as a percent of sales at 27.4% which is the same rate as in the first quarter 
of 1993.  This was accomplished by cost controls and some reductions in period 
expenses. However the reduction in sales volume resulted in net income 
decreasing by $176 thousand or 4.4%.
