ITEM 5.  Other Events.

On May 28, 1999, MTS Systems Corporation (the Company), completed a merger with
DSP Technology, Inc. (DSP), an enterprise that is active in automotive engine
development market segments where MTS did not have a presence. Under the terms
of the agreement, the Company initially issued 2,076,913 shares of common stock
and subsequently issued an additional 792 shares of common stock in exchange for
all of the outstanding shares and vested stock options of DSPs' common stock. In
connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $1.4 million
of acquisition related costs which were charged to operations in the third
quarter of fiscal year 1999. The acquisition qualified as a tax-free exchange
and was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, all periods
included in these historical consolidated financial statements have been
restated to give effect to the merger.

This 8-K report includes the unaudited restated consolidated statements of
income of the Company for the first nine-months of fiscal year 1999 and the
fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and the unaudited restated
consolidated balance sheets of the Company for the periods ended June 30, 1999
and September 30, 1998 and 1997.

The consolidated financial information presented was constructed using the
Company's unaudited quarterly consolidated financial information for fiscal
years 1999, 1998 and 1997 and combining it with the unaudited DSP financial
information, which was restated to conform with the Company's fiscal calendar.
The conforming of the accounting practices of the Company and DSP resulted in no
material adjustments to net income or shareholders' investment.
