RISK FACTORS
THE FOLLOWING RISKS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN ADDITION TO OTHER
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FILING BEFORE PURCHASING THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED
HEREBY:
POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS
THE COMPANY'S QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS HAVE VARIED IN THE PAST AND MAY VARY
IN THE FUTURE DUE TO A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING SUCCESS OF CUSTOMERS'
PROGRAMS, TIMING OF NEW PROGRAMS, NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS OR TECHNOLOGICAL
ADVANCES BY THE COMPANY AND ITS COMPETITORS AND CHANGES IN PRICING POLICIES BY
THE COMPANY AND ITS COMPETITORS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE COMPANY RELIES ON CUSTOMERS'
FORECASTS TO PLAN ITS BUSINESS. IF THOSE FORECASTS ARE OVERLY OPTIMISTIC, THE
COMPANY'S REVENUES AND PROFITS MAY FALL SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS. CONVERSELY, IF
THOSE FORECASTS ARE TOO CONSERVATIVE, THE COMPANY COULD HAVE AN UNEXPECTED
INCREASE IN REVENUES AND PROFITS.
COMPETITION
THE KEYBOARD AND OTHER INPUT DEVICE INDUSTRY IS INTENSELY COMPETITIVE. MOST OF
THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL COMPETITORS ARE HEADQUARTERED IN JAPAN AND OTHER ASIAN
COUNTRIES THAT HAVE A LOW COST LABOR FORCE. THOSE COMPETITORS MAY BE ABLE TO
OFFER CUSTOMERS LOWER PRICES ON CERTAIN HIGH VOLUME PROGRAMS. THIS COULD RESULT
IN PRICE REDUCTIONS, REDUCED MARGINS AND LOSS OF MARKET SHARE, ALL OF WHICH
WOULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. IN ADDITION, COMPETITORS CAN COPY THE COMPANY'S
NON-PROPRIETARY DESIGNS AFTER THE COMPANY HAS INVESTED IN DEVELOPMENT OF
PRODUCTS FOR CUSTOMERS, THEREBY ENABLING SUCH COMPETITORS TO OFFER LOWER PRICES
ON SUCH PRODUCTS DUE TO SAVINGS IN DEVELOPMENT COSTS.
CONCENTRATION OF MAJOR CUSTOMERS
AT PRESENT, THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMER BASE IS HIGHLY CONCENTRATED, AND THERE CAN
BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ITS CUSTOMER BASE WILL NOT BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED. THREE
OF THE COMPANY'S OEM CUSTOMERS ACCOUNTED FOR 21%, 11%, AND 10%, INDIVIDUALLY, OF
NET SALES IN FISCAL 1994. IN 1993, THE SAME CUSTOMERS ACCOUNTED FOR 32%, 3% AND
0% OF THE COMPANY'S NET SALES.
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS WILL CONTINUE
TO PURCHASE PRODUCTS FROM THE COMPANY AT CURRENT LEVELS. MOREOVER, THE COMPANY
TYPICALLY DOES NOT ENTER INTO LONG-TERM VOLUME PURCHASE CONTRACTS WITH ITS
CUSTOMERS, AND THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMERS HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS TO EXTEND OR DELAY
THE SHIPMENT OF THEIR ORDERS. THE LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE COMPANY'S MAJOR
CUSTOMERS OR THE REDUCTION, DELAY OR CANCELLATION OF ORDERS FROM SUCH CUSTOMERS
COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
THE COMPANY'S FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART ON THE CONTINUED SERVICE OF
ITS KEY TECHNICAL, MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND ON ITS ABILITY TO
CONTINUE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES. THE COMPETITION FOR SUCH
PERSONNEL IS INTENSE, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE
SUCCESSFUL IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING SUCH PERSONNEL. IN ADDITION, THE COMPANY
DOES NOT HAVE ANY EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS WITH ITS KEY PERSONNEL. THE LOSS OF KEY
EMPLOYEES COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS,
OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
LITIGATION
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY IS A PARTY TO APPROXIMATELY 108 LAWSUITS BROUGHT BY
COMPUTER KEYBOARD USERS IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS. THESE LAWSUITS ALLEGE THAT
SPECIFIC KEYBOARD PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED BY THE COMPANY WERE SOLD WITH
MANUFACTURING, DESIGN AND WARNING DEFECTS WHICH CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE
CLAIMANTS' ALLEGED INJURIES, GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES
(RSI) OR CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS (CTD). THE COMPANY BELIEVES IT HAS VALID
DEFENSES TO THESE CLAIMS, AND IT WILL VIGOROUSLY DEFEND THEM. THESE LAWSUITS
ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DISCOVERY. AT THIS TIME, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT IT
IS NOT LIKELY THAT THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME OF THESE LAWSUITS WILL HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL POSITION. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE LIMITED
INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, THE COMPLEXITY OF THE LITIGATION, THE INHERENT
UNCERTAINTY OF LITIGATION AND THE ULTIMATE RESOLUTION OF INSURANCE COVERAGE
ISSUES, MANAGEMENT'S POSITION WILL CHANGE IF WARRANTED BY FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND NEW PRODUCT RISK
THE MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS IS CHARACTERIZED BY RAPIDLY CHANGING
TECHNOLOGY, EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS, FREQUENT NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS AND
RELATIVELY SHORT PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES. THE INTRODUCTION OF PRODUCTS EMBODYING
NEW TECHNOLOGIES OR THE EMERGENCE OF NEW INDUSTRY STANDARDS CAN RENDER EXISTING
PRODUCTS OBSOLETE OR UNMARKETABLE. THE COMPANY'S SUCCESS WILL DEPEND UPON ITS
ABILITY TO ENHANCE ITS EXISTING PRODUCTS AND TO DEVELOP AND INTRODUCE, ON A
TIMELY AND COST-EFFECTIVE BASIS, NEW PRODUCTS THAT KEEP PACE WITH TECHNOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENTS AND EMERGING INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND ADDRESS EVOLVING AND
INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
SUBSTANTIALLY HARM THE COMPANY'S COMPETITIVE POSITION. THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN IDENTIFYING, DEVELOPING,
MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING PRODUCTS THAT RESPOND TO TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE,
EMERGING INDUSTRY STANDARDS OR EVOLVING CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS.
DILUTION
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1994, THERE WERE OUTSTANDING OPTIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF
3,344,085 SHARES, OF WHICH OPTIONS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2,870,278 SHARES WERE
VESTED AND EXERCISABLE. PURCHASERS OF THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY WILL
SUFFER IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO THE EXTENT OUTSTANDING OPTIONS TO
PURCHASE THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK ARE EXERCISED.
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
THE STOCK PRICE OF THE COMPANY MAY BE SUBJECT TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS AND
POSSIBLE RAPID INCREASES OR DECLINES OVER A SHORT TIME PERIOD. THESE
FLUCTUATIONS MAY BE DUE TO FACTORS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPANY SUCH AS VARIATIONS IN
QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS OR CHANGES IN ANALYSTS' EARNING ESTIMATES, OR TO
FACTORS RELATING TO THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY OR TO THE SECURITIES MARKETS IN
GENERAL, WHICH, IN RECENT YEARS, HAVE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT PRICE
FLUCTUATIONS. THESE FLUCTUATIONS OFTEN HAVE BEEN UNRELATED TO THE OPERATING
PERFORMANCE OF THE SPECIFIC COMPANIES WHOSE STOCKS ARE TRADED. INVESTORS IN THE
COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK SHOULD BE WILLING TO INCUR THE RISK OF SUCH FLUCTUATIONS.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED

UNDER THE SYMBOL "KTCC". THE FOLLOWING TABLE SETS FORTH, FOR THE COMPANY'S

2ND QUARTER $10.500 $ 6.625
3RD QUARTER $12.875 $ 9.500
4TH QUARTER $14.000 $ 9.500
THE COMPANY HAS NOT PAID ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON ITS COMMON STOCK DURING THE
LAST TWO FISCAL YEARS. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY INTENDS TO RETAIN ITS EARNINGS FOR
ITS BUSINESS AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON ITS COMMON
STOCK IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS IS
LIMITED BY CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS IN THE COMPANY'S BANK LOAN AGREEMENTS.
AS OF MARCH 31, 1995, THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 1,715 COMMON SHAREHOLDERS OF
RECORD.
CONTROL BY THE HILLER KEY TRONIC PARTNERS, L.P. AND THE HILLER GROUP
HILLER KEY TRONIC PARTNERS, L.P. ("HKT PARTNERS") IS A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
CREATED BY THE HILLER GROUP, A CORPORATE MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION. PURSUANT TO
AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HILLER GROUP AND THE COMPANY, STANLEY HILLER, JR., WHO
CURRENTLY HAS A 66.73% INTEREST IN HKT PARTNERS, WAS APPOINTED AS A DIRECTOR,
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AND CHAIRMAN OF THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN
FEBRUARY 1992 AND ACQUIRED THE RIGHT TO DESIGNATE THREE ADDITIONAL PERSONS TO BE
APPOINTED TO THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IN ADDITION, AFTER THE
COMPLETION OF THE OFFERING, HKT PARTNERS WILL BENEFICIALLY OWN APPROXIMATELY 24%
OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY. THIS CONCENTRATION OF
OWNERSHIP, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HILLER
GROUP, WILL ENABLE THE HILLER GROUP TO CONTINUE TO EXERT SIGNIFICANT CONTROL
OVER CORPORATE ACTIONS AFTER THE SALE OF THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY AND MAY HAVE
THE EFFECT OF DELAYING OR PREVENTING A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY.
BACKGROUND OF THE OFFERING
IN MARCH 1992, IN CONNECTION WITH AN AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY AND BETWEEN THE
HILLER GROUP AND LGZ, INC., A WASHINGTON CORPORATION 100% OWNED BY THE LEWIS G.
ZIRKLE FAMILY ("LGZ"), LGZ GRANTED TO STANLEY HILLER, JR. AN OPTION (THE "LGZ
OPTION"), SUBSEQUENTLY ASSIGNED IN JANUARY 1993, TO HKT PARTNERS TO PURCHASE
1,000,000 OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY OWNED BY LGZ, INC.,
AT A PRICE OF $6.00 PER SHARE. IN APRIL, 1995, THE LGZ OPTION WAS AMENDED BY
HKT PARTNERS AND LGZ TO REDUCE THE UNDERLYING SHARES TO 750,000 AND TO EXTEND
THE TERM OF THE OPTION TO JUNE 1, 1996. IN ADDITION, PURSUANT TO SUCH AMENDMENT
(THE "LGZ AMENDMENT"), THE EXERCISE PRICE PER SHARE WAS RAISED TO $7.00 FOR
OPTIONS EXERCISED BEFORE AUGUST 1, 1995, $8.00 FOR OPTIONS EXERCISED AFTER SUCH
DATE BUT ON OR BEFORE JANUARY 1, 1996, AND $9.00 FOR OPTIONS EXERCISED AFTER
JANUARY 1, 1996 BUT ON OR BEFORE JUNE 1, 1996. THE COMPANY DERIVED NO BENEFITS
FROM AND INCURRED NO LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES IN CONNECTION WITH THE LGZ
AMENDMENT. THE 750,000 OUTSTANDING SHARES UNDERLYING THE LGZ OPTION PLUS THE
250,000 SHARES HELD BY LGZ ARE THE SUBJECT SHARES OF THE OFFERING. SEE
"SELLING SHAREHOLDERS."
IN APRIL 1992, THE COMPANY AND HKT PARTNERS ENTERED INTO A REGISTRATION
RIGHTS AGREEMENT (THE "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") PURSUANT TO WHICH HKT
PARTNERS WAS GRANTED CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMON
STOCK, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO CAUSE THE COMPANY TO EFFECT A FORM S-3
REGISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMON STOCK HELD BY HKT PARTNERS. IN
ADDITION, PURSUANT TO THE LGZ AMENDMENT, HKT PARTNERS REQUESTED AND THE
COMPANY AGREED TO INCLUDE 250,000 SHARES OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK HELD BY LGZ
IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS IS A PART. THE
COMPANY HAS FILED SUCH REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS
OBLIGATIONS TO HKT PARTNERS UNDER THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT.
INDEMNIFICATION
THE COMPANY HAS AGREED TO INDEMNIFY HKT PARTNERS AND ITS CONTROL PERSONS AND
LGZ WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN LIABILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE
