3.  Interest paid on debt for the three months ending September 30, 1995 
and 1994 was $532,000 and $1,180,000, respectively, and for the nine months 
ending September 30, 1995 and 1994, was $2,806,000 and $3,925,000, 
respectively.  Income taxes paid during the three months ended September 
30, 1995 and 1994 was $1,020,000 and $485,000, respectively, and during the 
nine months was $2,857,000 and $1,218,000, respectively.

4.  On September 6, 1995 the Company acquired all of the outstanding common 
stock of Lasertron, Inc. ("Lasertron"), a Burlington, Massachusetts 
manufacturer of fiber optic components for the telecommunications and CATV 
industries for approximately $108,238,000, including transaction expenses.  
Lasertron had cash of $8,219,000 at the time of the acquisition.  In 
addition the Company assumed all of Lasertron's outstanding and unexercised 
stock options to purchase shares of its common stock.  Upon exercise of 
such options, option holders shall receive shares of the Company's common 
stock, adjusted to take into account the relative share prices of the 
Company and Lasertron.  In connection with the assumption of this 
obligation, the Company has recorded a liability of approximately 
$6,150,000.

   The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, 
operating results of this business subsequent to the date of acquisition 
were included in the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The 
excess purchase price over fair value of the net tangible assets acquired 
was $88,106,000 of which $80,872,000 was allocated to purchased in-process 
research and development and $7,234,000 was allocated to goodwill and other 
intangible assets.  The purchased in-process research and development was 
charged to operations upon acquisition, and the goodwill and other 
intangible assets are being amortized over 3 to 10 years.

    The purchase price was financed with (i) the proceeds from a 
$60,000,000 term loan and $20,000,000 of a $40,000,000 revolving credit 
facility issued by various lenders, and (ii) cash of $28,238,000 held by 
the Company..

5.  On August 30, 1995, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the 
"Oak Credit Agreement") and the Company's Connector Holding Company 
("Connector") and Gilbert Engineering Co., Inc. ("Gilbert") subsidiaries, 
entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Gilbert Credit Agreement", together 
with the Oak Credit Agreement, the "Credit Facilities") with various 
lenders.

    The Oak Credit Agreement provides for a $40,000,000 revolving credit 
facility, a $60,000,000 Tranche A term loan and a $60,000,000 Tranche B 
term loan.  The Tranche A term loan and $20,000,000 from the revolving 
credit facility were advanced to the Company on September 6, 1995 in 
connection with the Company's purchase of the capital stock of Lasertron.  
The Tranche B term loan is available only to fund the Company's purchase of the 
shares of the capital stock of Connector not presently owned by the 
Company.   The Company's previously existing $30,000,000 revolving credit 
facility was terminated on August 30, 1995.

    The Gilbert Credit Agreement provides for an $18,000,000 revolving 
credit facility and a $22,000,000 term loan.  The proceeds from the term 
loan and $6,610,000 of the revolving credit facility were used to refinance 
existing indebtedness of Gilbert and Connector.

    Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest, at the option of 
the Company or Gilbert, either (i) at the prime rate (or, if higher, at 
1/2% above the federal funds rate) or (ii) at a spread over the reserve-
adjusted 1,2,3 or 6 month LIBOR.  The spread is initially 1% and is subject 
to reduction when certain financial tests are met.  Borrowings under the 
Credit Facilities are secured by pledges of the stock and certain debt 
securities of certain of  the Company's subsidiaries.  In addition, certain 
of the Company's subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the 
Credit Facilities.  The Company and Gilbert are required to meet certain 
financial covenants and are prohibited from paying dividends.

    The Credit Facilities mature through September 30, 2000.  The 
$60,000,000 Tranche A term loan under the Oak Credit Agreement and the 
$22,000,000 term loan under the Gilbert Credit Agreement are repayable at 
the end of each calendar quarter from December 31, 1995 through September 
30, 2000.

6.  On November 9, 1995, The Company announced that is has entered into a 
definitive agreement with Telemundo of Chicago, Inc. to sell the Company's 
indirectly held 49% interest in WSNS-TV (Channel 44), a Hispanic television 
station located in Chicago.  Cash proceeds from the sale of the Company's 
equity interest are estimated to be approximately $29,000,000 and will be 
used to reduce debt and for other corporate purposes.  The Company expects to 
report a gain related to this transaction, which is 
expected to close in the first quarter of 1996.  The transaction is subject 
to FCC consent.

7.  On June 10, 1994, the Company's subsidiary, Gilbert, acquired all of 
the outstanding common stock of Cabel-Con A/S ("Cabel-Con"), a Danish 
manufacturer of connectors for the worldwide cable television markets, for 
$9,250,000.  Cabel-Con had cash of $941,000 at the time of the acquisition.  
The acquisition was financed by borrowing on Gilbert's revolving credit 
facility in effect at that time.  Concurrent with the acquisition, Gilbert 
paid off $2,625,000 of Cabel-Con's bank borrowings.  The acquisition was 
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, operating results of this 
business subsequent to the date of acquisition were included in the 
Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.  Substantially all of the 
goodwill resulting from this acquisition is being amortized over 40 years.

8.  In the second quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a nonrecurring gain 
of $900,000 resulting from the enactment of a new state income tax law. The 
Company's income tax liability was reduced, and the benefit was recorded 
in the income taxes line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

9.  Certain items in the 1994 Consolidated Statement of Operations have 
been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.

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

    This report has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information normally 
included in annual reports has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such 
rules and regulations.  It is suggested that this report be read in 
conjunction with the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K, a copy of 
which may be obtained by writing to Oak Industries Inc., Bay Colony 
Corporate Center, 1000 Winter Street, Waltham, MA 02154.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's cash decreased by $18.1 million during the first nine 
months of 1995 to $19.5 million at September 30, 1995.  Operations 
generated $29.8 million of cash during the nine months ending September 30, 
1995 compared to $35.3 million for the same period in the prior year 
primarily due to increased working capital needs resulting from growth in 
the Company's businesses. The Company paid $108.2 million of cash, 
including transaction expenses, to acquire all of the outstanding stock of 
Lasertron, Inc., a Burlington, Massachusetts manufacturer of fiber optic 
components for the telecommunications and CATV industries.  Lasertron had 
cash of $8.2 million at the time of the acquisition.  This acquisition was 
financed with existing cash balances of $28.2 million and borrowings of 
$80.0 million.  Cash of $22.3 million was used to repay borrowings, and 
$28.6 million of debt at Gilbert and Connector was refinanced.  The Company 
increased its capital expenditures from $4.8 million in 1994 to $11.3 
million in 1995 primarily to automate production processes and to increase 
capacity.

    On August 30, 1995, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the 
"Oak Credit Agreement") and the Company's Connector Holding Company 
("Connector") and Gilbert subsidiaries, entered into a Credit Agreement 
(the "Gilbert Credit Agreement", together with the Oak Credit Agreement, 
the "Credit Facilities") with various lenders.

    The Oak Credit Agreement provides for a $40.0 million revolving credit 
facility, a $60.0 million Tranche A term loan and a $60.0 million Tranche B 
term loan.  The Tranche A term loan and $20.0 million of the revolving 
credit facility were advanced to the Company on September 6, 1995 in 
connection with the Company's purchase of the capital stock of Lasertron, 
Inc.  The Tranche B term loan is available only to fund the Company'  s 
purchase of the shares of the capital stock of Connector not presently 
owned by the Company.  The Company's previously existing $30.0 million 
revolving credit facility was terminated on August 30, 1995.

    The Gilbert Credit Agreement provides for a $18.0 million revolving 
credit facility and a $22.0 million term loan.  The proceeds from the term 
loan and $6.6 million of the revolving credit facility were used to 
refinance existing indebtedness of Gilbert and Connector.

    Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest, at the option of 
the Company or Gilbert, either (i) at the prime rate (or, if higher, at 
1/2% above the federal funds rate) or (ii) at a spread over the reserve-
adjusted 1,2,3 or 6 month LIBOR.  The spread is initially 1% and is subject 
to reduction when certain financial tests are met.  Borrowings under the 
Credit Facilities are secured by pledges of the stock and certain debt 
securities of certain of  the Company's subsidiaries.  In addition, 
certain of the Company's subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations 
under the Credit Facilities.  The Company and Gilbert are required to meet 
certain financial covenants and are prohibited from paying dividends.  All 
loans advanced pursuant to the Credit Facilities mature through September 
30, 2000.  The $60.0 million Tranche A term loan under the Oak Credit 
Agreement and the $22.0 million term loan under the Gilbert Credit 
Agreement are repayable at the end of each calendar quarter from December 
31, 1995 through September 30, 2000.

    In addition to the $60.0 million under the Tranche B term loan which is 
available only to fund the Company's purchase of the capital stock of 
Connector, at September 30, 1995, cash, cash equivalents and unused lines 
of credit totaled $48.5 million of which $19.6 million was available only 
to Gilbert and $28.9 million was available to the Company for general 
corporate purposes, including acquisitions. 

    On November 9, 1995, the Company announced that it has entered into a 
definitive agreement with Telemundo of Chicago, Inc. to sell the Company's 
indirectly held 49% interest in WSNS-TV (Channel 44), a Hispanic television 
station located in Chicago.  Cash proceeds from the sale of the Company's 
equity interest are estimated to be approximately $29.0 million and will be 
used to reduce debt and for other corporate purposes.  The Company expects to 
report a gain related to this transaction, which is 
expected to close in the first quarter of 1996.  The transaction is subject 
to FCC consent. 

    The Company believes its current financial resources are sufficient to 
meet its continuing operating requirements, service its long-term debt, 
make expected capital expenditures, and provide for future growth.  
Although the Company operates internally with several businesses 
functioning as profit centers, these businesses are also managed as a 
group.  That is, if a given business is performing strongly, corporate 
management may use this opportunity to invest additional funds in product 
development and marketing in another business.  Certain agreements 
applicable to Gilbert limit Gilbert's ability to make distributions or 
advances to the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The Company's operations are conducted in two industry segments, the 
Components Segment and the Other Segment.  The Company's Components Segment 
manufactures connectors for CATV systems and other precision applications, 
fiber optic components, frequency control devices, controls for gas and 
electric appliances, and electromechanical switches.  The Other Segment is 
composed of the Company's railway maintenance equipment business.

Third Quarter Results

    Consolidated sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $65.0 million, a 
$6.6 million, or 11.4%, increase over the third quarter of 1994.  
Components Segment sales increased $5.3 million, or 9.7%, and Other Segment 
sales increased $1.3 million, or 35.4% (see discussion under "Segment 
Data").
<PAGE>
    The Company recorded a net loss of $77.8 million in the third quarter 
of 1995 compared to income of $7.4 million in the third quarter of 1994.  
However, 1995 includes several nonrecurring items, detailed below.  
Excluding nonrecurring items, income decreased $2.4 million.

 (1)   In the third quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a charge of $80.9 
million related to purchased in-process research and development in 
connection with the Lasertron acquisition.

 (2)   In the third quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a charge of $0.5 
million, included in cost of goods sold, related to the partial reversal of 
the write-up of Lasertron inventory required by purchase accounting.  The 
Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million related to this 
charge.

 (3)   In the third quarter of 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary 
charge of $1.6 million, net of taxes and minority interest, related to the 
early extinguishment of debt at Gilbert and Connector.

</TABLE>

    This $2.4 million decrease in income arises from a $2.9 million 
increase in segment operating income, before nonrecurring items, (see 
discussion under "Segment Data") offset by several non-operating items.  
Income tax expense increased $3.8 million as the Company began recording a 
full income tax provision in the third quarter of 1995 for financial 
reporting purposes.  However, the Company had approximately $85.0 million 
of unused net operating loss carryforwards at September 30, 1995 and will 
therefore continue to pay minimal federal income taxes until these 
carryforwards are utilized.  Minority interest expense increased $0.7 
million due to higher earnings at Gilbert.

<PAGE>
    Sales of the Components Segment increased $5.3 million, or 9.7%, in the 
third quarter of 1995 compared to the third quarter of 1994.  Sales of 
communications products increased sharply due primarily to growth in 
domestic and international markets and to the incremental sales of 
Lasertron, acquired in September 1995.  Sales of controls products 
decreased due primarily to softness in the appliance controls market.  The 
Company expects this market to remain soft through the fourth quarter of 
1995.  Components Segment operating income before nonrecurring items 
increased $2.3 million, or 20.2%, due to the net sales increase discussed 
above. Components Segment order backlog at September 30, 1995, which 
includes backlog for Lasertron which was acquired in September 1995, was 
$80.1 million, up $33.6 million from September 30, 1994.

    Other Segment sales increased $1.3 million, or 35.4%, compared to the 
third quarter of 1994 due to an increase in railway repair and maintenance 
equipment sales partially offset by a decrease in sales due to the sale of 
Carpenter Emergency Lighting in November 1994.  Operating income was $0.6 
million higher than the third quarter of 1994, due to the sales increase 
discussed above.  Order backlog for the segment was $1.6 million at 
September 30, 1995, down from $2.0 million at September 30, 1994.

    Consolidated gross profit for the third quarter before nonrecurring 
items increased as a percentage of sales to 40.0% in 1995 from 37.3% in 
1994 due to higher sales of higher margin products.  Cost of sales in 1995 
included $0.5 million of incremental expense related to the partial 
reversal of a $2.0 million write-up of Lasertron inventory required by 
purchase accounting.  The Company expects the remaining $1.5 million to be 
expensed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Nine Month Results

Consolidated sales for the first nine months of 1995 were $203.6 million, a 
$17.7 million, or 9.5% increase, over 1994.  Components Segment sales 
increased $16.3 million, or 9.6%, and Other Segment sales increased $1.4 
million or 8.8%.  (see discussion under "Segment Data").

    The Company recorded a net loss of $56.3 million for the first nine 
months of 1995 compared to net income of $25.0 million for the same period 
of 1994.  However, both periods include nonrecurring items as detailed 
below.  Excluding nonrecurring items, income increased $2.4 million.

 (1)   In the third quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a charge of $80.9 
million for purchased in-process research and development in connection 
with the Lasertron acquisition.

 (2)   In the third quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a charge of $0.5 
million, included in cost of goods sold, related to the partial reversal of 
the write-up of Lasertron inventory required by purchase accounting.  The 
Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million related to this 
charge.

 (3)   In the third quarter of 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary 
charge of $1.6 million, net of taxes and minority interest, related to the 
early extinguishment of debt at Gilbert and Connector.

 (4)   In the second quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a gain of $0.9 
million resulting from a state income tax law change.

</TABLE>

    The $2.4 million improvement in income for the first nine months 
of 1995 results primarily from  an $8.6 million increase in segment 
operating income (see discussion under "Segment Data") offset in part, by 
the net effect of several non-operating items.  Income tax expense 
increased $4.3 million as the Company began recording a full income tax 
provision in the third quarter of 1995 for financial reporting purposes.  
However, the Company had approximately $85.0 million of unused net 
operating loss carryforwards at September 30, 1995 and will therefore 
continue to pay minimal federal income taxes until these carryforwards are 
utilized.  Minority interest expense increased $1.4 million due to higher 
earnings at Gilbert.

    Sales of the Components Segment increased $16.3 million, or 9.6% 
compared to the first nine months of 1994.  Sales of communications 
products increased sharply due primarily to growth in domestic and 
international markets and to the incremental sales of Cabel-Con, acquired 
in June of 1994 and Lasertron, acquired in September 1995.  Sales of 
controls products decreased due primarily to softness in the appliance 
controls market.  The Company expects this market to remain soft through 
the fourth quarter of 1995.  Components Segment operating income excluding 
nonrecurring items increased $7.6 million, or 19.8%, from the first nine 
months of 1994 due primarily to the sales increase discussed above.

    Other Segment sales increased $1.4 million compared to the first nine 
months of 1994, as sales increases in the railway repair and maintenance 
business were partially offset by a decrease due to the sale of the 
Carpenter Emergency Lighting business in November 1994.  Operating income 
was $1.0 million higher than the prior year due to the sales increase 
discussed above and productivity improvements.

    Consolidated gross profit before nonrecurring items increased as a 
percentage of sales for the first nine months of 1995 to 40.0% from 37.3% 
in the comparable 1994 period due to higher sales of higher margin 
products.  Cost of sales in 1995 included $0.5 million of incremental 
expense related to the partial reversal of a $2.0 million write-up of 
Lasertron inventory required by purchase accounting.  The Company expects 
the remaining $1.5 million to be expensed in the fourth quarter of 1995.
