            Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Management Statement

  The financial statements as reported in Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments 
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the 
financial position as of April 2, 1995 and the results of operations and cash 
flows for the three and nine months ended April 2, 1995 and April 3, 1994.  
All adjustments made to the interim financial statements were of a normal 
recurring nature.

  The Company followed the same accounting policies in the preparation of this 
interim financial statement as described in the Company's annual filing on 
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1994, and this filing should be read in 
conjunction with that annual report.

2.  Income Per Share

  In the third quarter and first nine months of this year, the income per 
share computations are based on the weighted average number of common and 
common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the respective periods.

  Last year, common stock equivalents were not used as they were deemed to be 
immaterial.

3.  Income Taxes

  In the current year, the Company has provided for taxes at an effective rate 
of 40%. Last year, the Company had an effective tax rate of zero resulting 
from the recognition of federal and state net operating loss (NOL) 
carryforwards. At April 2, 1995, the Company had available, for state income 
tax purposes, net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $463,000 which 
expire in 1996 and 1997.

4.  Other Income

  This year, other income is comprised of fees associated with licensing 
agreements, as well as items of a miscellaneous nature. Last year, no monies 
were earned regarding any licensing arrangements.



                   Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Operations

  Net sales in the third quarter of the current fiscal year were $9,946,585, 
an increase of approximately 12% from the sales of $8,885,214 reported for the 
same quarter last year.  For the first nine months of the year, sales totalled 
$29,246,220 versus $25,405,528 for the comparable period last year, an 
increase of about 15%. These results reflect increased shipments in both the 
Laminated Cable and the Flexible Circuit Products Division. The introduction 
of several new technologies and a continuing focus in making further 
penetration into the various commercial markets are the primary factors 
contributing to the increase.  As further evidence of the Company's success in 
expanding upon its non-military business, commercial sales constituted 68% of 
the overall shipments through the first nine months this year versus 62% last 
year.

  Sales are recognized upon shipment.

  The cost of products sold as a percentage of sales this year was 83% and 82% 
for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively. This compares to 
84% in the respective periods last year. The reduction in the cost of sales 
percentage resulted from enhanced operational efficiency, improved absorption 
of manufacturing overhead, and the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce costs. 
These reductions were offset, in part, by some training and start-up costs 
associated wtih a major multiyear contract that commenced in the current 
quarter.

  Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 
14% in the current quarter and 13% for the nine months to date. Last year, the 
selling, general, and administrative expenses was 13% for both time periods. 
Some additional sales and marketing costs were incurred in the current quarter 
resulting in a slight increase in the percentage.

  Interest expense in the third quarter was $38,151 as compared to $29,395 
last year. For the first nine months, interest expense was $95,923 versus 
$81,014 last year. The increase in expense is primarily due to the increase in 
the average level of borrowings and the increase in the prime lending rate.

  Other income this quarter was $160,017 versus $2,403 last year. For the 
first nine months, other income totalled $273,318 as compared to $42,097 last 
year. This year, other income is comprised of fees associated with some 
licensing agreements, as well as items of a miscellaneous nature. Last year, 
no monies were earned regarding any licensing arrangements.

  The above factors resulted in income before income taxes of $402,667 and 
$1,808,037 for the third quarter and first nine months this year, 
respectively. This compares to income before income taxes of $182,894 in the 
third quarter and $645,045 for the first nine months last year .

  The Company's effective tax rate was 40% for both the current quarter and 
first nine months this year. Last year, the Company recognized a tax credit of 
approximately $20,000. During fiscal 1993, the Company adopted FASB-109 - 
Accounting for Income Taxes. In accordance with that standard, the Company 
provided for a valuation allowance approximating $650,000 at June 30, 1993 for 
possible expiration of federal and state net operating loss (NOL) carryovers 
prior to realization. During last fiscal year, because of the Company's 
sustained profitability, it became apparent that the Company would be able to 
utilize a portion of those previously reserved NOLs and adjusted its effective 
tax rate accordingly.

  The net income for the quarter, as a result of the above factors, was 
$241,067 versus $202,832 last year. For the first nine months this year, the 
net income was $1,085,887 as compared to $664,983 last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company's borrowings under its $3,000,000 revolving credit facility were 
$1,500,000 at April 2, 1995, an increase of $850,000 since the end of the 
preceding fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. These additional borrowings were 
fully anticipated since the Company had major commitments relating to 
expenditures for equipment and building improvements that will increase 
capacity, provide for more cost effective processing, and enhance the 
technology capabilities of the Company. Furthermore, the Company had to 
increase its working capital to satisfy the anticipated increases in 
shipments.

  The Company expects to expend a considerable amount in additional equipment 
next quarter as well. Most of the Company's needs will be satisfied through 
internally generated funds, while the remainder will come from its revolving 
credit facility.
