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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 Versus Three Months Ended March 31, 
1994

Net Sales

         Consolidated net sales of $7,965,079 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 were $2,178,860 (37.7%) higher than for the same period in 1994.  This
increase reflects increased specialty product sales by SpecTran Specialty
Optics Company and additional revenues resulting from sales of the Company's
single-mode fiber.  The Company's standard multimode fiber sales increased
slightly from the first quarter of 1994 as a result of increased sales volume
reflecting strong market conditions, with a slight decline in average sales
price.

Gross Profit

         SpecTran earned a consolidated gross profit of $2,893,576 during the
1995 first quarter which was $832,174 (40.4%) higher than 1994.  The gross
margin, as a percent of sales, increased to 36.3% in 1995 from 35.6% in 1994.
Single-mode product costs have improved from the first quarter of 1994, but
still reflect manufacturing development costs that were experienced during
1994.  This was offset by improved margins on multimode product sales due to
lower average unit production costs.  Royalties expense was 5.7% and 7.3% of
SpecTran's sales during the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

         Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased by $725,123
(55.2%) during the 1995 first quarter.  As a percent of sales these expenses
increased during 1995 to 25.6% from 22.7% in 1994.  The increase is made up of
a full quarter of expenses incurred by SpecTran Specialty Optics Company in the
1995 March quarter versus approximately half a quarter of expenses incurred in
last year's first quarter.  Parent company spending increased by $266,532
(24.1%) due to business development activities.

Research and Development Expenses

         Consolidated spending for internal research and development increased
by $461,706 (158.3%).  As a percent of sales, consolidated research and
development costs increased to 9.5% in the first quarter of 1995 versus 5.0% in
the same period in 1994.  The Company's increased research and development
spending is primarily in programs designed to improve manufacturing cost and
product performance in both the multimode and single-mode product lines and
develop alternative process technologies.

Other Income (Expense)

         Consolidated other income (expense) decreased by $44,925 (53.6%)
during the 1995 first quarter.   Interest income increased by $8,052 (10.5%)
during the 1995 first quarter primarily as a result of improved investment
yields.  Interest expense increased during the first quarter of 1995 by $89,434
(722.5%) as a result of increased debt levels.  The increase in other income of
$36,457 during 1995 is related to royalty income.

Income Taxes

         A tax provision of  41% of pre-tax income was provided in the first
quarters of  both 1995 and 1994.

Net Income

         Net income for the 1995 first quarter was $82,914 which was a 1.0%
return on sales.  Net income for the same period in 1994 was $319,018, or 5.5%
of sales, a decline of $236,104 (74.0%) primarily due to increased research and
development and selling and administrative expenses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At March 31, 1995, the Company had net working capital of $11,128,378,
a current ratio of 3.8 to 1, and an aggregate of $176,960 in cash and cash
equivalents.  In addition, the Company had total marketable securities of
$6,277,922, including $3,794,108 classified at long-term which could be
converted into cash if needed.

         The Company restructured the existing bank revolving term loan of $10
million on March 30, 1995.  Under the amended agreement, the Company may borrow
the lesser of $10 million or an amount based upon certain percentages of the
value of cash on deposit, eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory.
The amount outstanding under this agreement at March 31, 1994 was $6.9 million,
including a draw down under the agreement of $1.6 million used as a deposit on
an agreement to acquire Applied Photonic Devices.

         The Company expects but can not assure that existing working capital
should be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs in 1995.

Anticipated Acquisition

         It is anticipated, but cannot be assured, that a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company will acquire all the issued and outstanding stock of
Applied Photonic Devices ("APD") for cash and stock worth approximately $3.9
million.  The Company will also retire approximately $600,000 of APD bank debt.
APD manufactures and sells fiber optic cable and related components.
