1. CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1997, the Consolidated
Statements of Income for the three and six month periods ended December 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996 and the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for
the six month periods ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 have
been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes
in financial position at December 31, 1997 and for all periods presented
have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these
condensed statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1997 Form 10K report. 
The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 1997 is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2. Common Stock Forfeiture

On December 31, 1997, two officers of the Company forfeited common stock
received under the May, 1989 Stock Grant Program.  This forfeiture resulted
in an extraordinary gain of $433,700 and canceled the debit balance of
$1,347,500 of Unearned Restricted Stock Compensation in the equity section
of the balance sheet, and reduced the balances in Common Stock par value
and Additional-Paid-In-Capital by the original value of the stock grant of
$1,781,250. 


3. Cumulative Dividend Non-payment

On January 1, 1998 the dividend of $138,430 was due on the 8% Cumulative
Series A preferred Stock.  The Company has made its two previous dividend
payments with common stock, in order to conserve cash. However, as a result
of a depressed common stock price at the payable date, the Board of
Directors determined that it was appropriate to accrue the dividend expense
and make a determination at a future date regarding a distribution.

The Earnings Per Share Calculation does include the impact of the Preferred
Dividend.

                               MICROENERGY, INC.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1997 were
$3,150,187 and $6,845,000 respectively, as compared to $4,262,401 and
$7,705,391 for the comparable periods in the prior year, representing
decreases of $1,112,214 and $860,391 for the quarter and six months
respectively.  Sales for the six months were adversely impacted by
approximately $3 million primarily due to new business that failed to
materialize to levels projected by its customers.  Historically, the
Company had been engaged exclusively in business development initiatives
stating with the design and development of preproduction orders leading to
large production contracts.  Consequently, revenues were derived from a few
large contacts resulting from customer acceptance of designs created by the
Company based on customer specifications.  Near the end of 1995, the
Company received preproduction orders valued at over $10 million on an
annual basis for new power supply designs from eight customers.  For the
eighteen month period ending December 31, 1997, only $5.5 million has been
sold, causing a significant and unexpected shortfall in second quarter and
six month revenues.  During the quarter, the Company has completed a
marketing review and based on customer feedback believes third  and fourth
quarter revenues will remain below expectation and slightly below second
quarter levels.

Management is in the process of refocusing its long-standing marketing
strategy to gain access to new markets.  The Company has begun a sales and
marketing reorganization initiative to position itself to compete for a
market share in the aftermarket of higher volume systems using more
conventional power supplies.  In the future, the Company will reduce its
sole dependence on research and development for new designs and supplement
its marketing efforts into those markets.  

Manufacturing costs for the six month period increased to 81.1% of revenues
as compared to 80.1% in the prior year period.  The actual dollars
decreased by $620,867, 10.1% from the prior year period, on a sales decline
of 11.2%.  Research & Development increased by $61,268 as compared to the
prior year six month period and SG&A remained flat as compared to the prior
year period.  A major cost increase included in these figures was the
current year cost of medical health insurance.  Due to a bad claim year in
fiscal 1997 the premiums and accruals were increased dramatically in fiscal
1998. Manufacturing costs for the six month period included an increase of
approximately $140,000 and R&D and SG&A were impacted by an increase of
approximately $30,000 combined. The Company is looking at various options
to attempt to lower these costs for fiscal year 1999.

Interest costs for the six month period increased by $76,629 to $217,848. 
The increase was due to higher average borrowings on the line of credit and
interest from certain new term debt related to fixed asset acquisitions in
fiscal year 1997.




Net Income Before Extraordinary Item were losses of $315,463 and $413,086
for the current three and six month periods as compared to a gain of
$57,941 for the prior year three month period and a loss of $39,256 for the
prior year six month period.

The Company reported an extraordinary gain of $433,700 in the quarter.
