NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial statements for the respective periods. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.

(2) DISCONTINUED OPERATION On June 30, 1999, The Company, decided to sell the
Imaging Technologies operation (Display Product Segments) and Nortech Medical
Services (Medical Management Segment). As of July 30, The Company has interested
buyers that want to sign confidentiality agreements with The Company. Although
it is difficult to predict, the Company expects to complete the sales in the
third quarter of 1999. Display Products and Medical Management are reported as
discontinued operations, and the consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to segregate the net assets and operating results of the business.


The estimated loss recorded during 1999 on the sale of the discontinued
operation, was $1,800,000, which included a reduction in asset value of
$1,200,000 and a reduction for anticipated closing costs and operating losses
until disposal, of $600,000. The loss was reported net of an income tax benefit
of $620,000, for an after-tax loss of $1,180,000.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1999


Effective June 30, 1999, the Company made a decision to sell Imaging Technology
Division (Display Product Segment) and Nortech Medical Services (Medical
Management Segment). The following management discussion related only to the
continuing operation of contract manufacturing. See below, the details of
discontinued operations.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company had revenues of $9,421,813
compared to revenues of $8,374,280 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The
increase in revenues resulted primarily from the additional revenues generated
from internal growth. The net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999
was $275,744 or $.12 per share, compared to a net income of $221,468 or $.09 per
share, for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The net income for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 was primarily impacted by increased gross profit from the
increased revenue offset by increased selling expenses.

Company's 90 day order backlog was $8,590,000 as of June 30, 1999, compared to
$8,575,000 at the beginning of the quarter. Based on the current conditions, the
Company anticipates revenue levels in the third quarter of 1999 to be about the
same as the second quarter of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The Company's working capital increased to $9,539,075 during the second quarter
of 1999, compared to $9,080,589 as of December 31, 1998. The Company believes
that its financial stability will continue to improve during 1999 and would
expect that its operating cash flow and available credit faculties will be
sufficient to fund the expected growth in the near term.

UPDATE ON YEAR 2000 STATUS

Nortech Systems, Inc recognizes the dangers of the "Year 2000 Problem". To
ensure a minimum negative impact on business operations, Nortech has established
a Y2K Initiative. The Y2K Initiative addresses the effect on the company, our
vendors and our customers. We have completed the inventory and evaluation phase,
and are nearing completion of the implementation phase. Testing is nearly
completed on most systems. Monitoring and evaluation will continue throughout
1999 and into 2000 until we are sure all issues have been properly resolved.
