                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) BUSINESS
 
  Altron Incorporated (the "Company") is a leading contract manufacturer of
interconnect products used in advanced electronic equipment. The Company
manufactures complex products in the mid-volume sector of the electronic
interconnect industry including custom-designed backplanes, surface mount
assemblies and total systems, as well as multilayer, high density printed
circuit boards. Altron's customers include a diversified base of manufacturers
in the telecommunications, data communications, computer, industrial and
medical systems segments of the electronics industry.
 
  On June 9, 1994, Altron Systems Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary,
completed the acquisition of Astrio Corporation, a manufacturer of complex
surface mount assemblies. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase,
and the results of operations have been included in the accompanying
consolidated income statements from the date of acquisition.
 
(2) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which management
considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods.
The unaudited results of operations for the quarter ended April 1, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and Altron Systems Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiary. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
 
  Printed circuit boards manufactured by the Company and used in its assembly
operations are included in value added contract manufacturing sales. Printed
circuit board sales represent sales to third parties.
 
  For information as to the significant accounting policies followed by the
Company and other financial and operating information, see the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 as filed with the Securities and

statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased 42% to $32.7 million from
net sales of $23.0 million for the same quarter of 1994. The increase was
primarily the result of increased shipments to the Company's major customers in
the communications and computer segments of the electronics industry. The
Company's largest customer in each of the first quarters of 1995 and 1994 was
Motorola, Inc., which accounted for 17% and 14% of net sales, respectively.
 
  Value added contract manufacturing sales for the first quarter of 1995
increased 77% to $23.9 million or approximately 73% of net sales, compared to
$13.5 million or 59% of net sales in the first quarter of 1994. Of the $10.4
million increase in value added contract manufacturing sales, $5.2 million is
attributable to Altron Systems Corporation. Printed circuit board sales for the
first quarter of 1995 were $8.8 million or approximately 27% of net sales,
compared to $9.5 million or 41% of net sales in the first quarter of 1994.
 
  Gross profit for the first quarter of 1995 increased 45% to $7.4 million from
$5.1 million in 1994. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for 1995
increased to 22.7% as compared to 22.2% in 1994. The improvement in the
Company's gross margin resulted primarily from better absorption of fixed costs
due to the higher volume of shipments and was also due to increased
manufacturing efficiencies resulting from productivity and product yield
improvements.
 
  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.6 million in the
first quarter of 1995 from $2.0 million for the same period a year ago. The
increase was due primarily to the added selling, general and administrative
expenses attributable to Altron Systems Corporation. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.9% in the
first quarter of 1995 from 8.5% for the same quarter of 1994. The decline in
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was
principally the result of higher net sales.
 
  Other income increased $112,000 in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to
the first quarter of 1994. This increase was principally due to increased
interest income which resulted from higher rates of return earned on
investments and higher cash balances available for investment. Interest expense
was $45,000 lower in the first quarter of 1995 than 1994 as a result of reduced
outstanding borrowings and higher capitalized interest.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  At April 1, 1995, the Company had working capital of $27.7 million compared
to $24.5 million at December 31, 1994. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments were $11.2 million at April 1, 1995 and $10.3 million at December
31, 1994.
 
  At April 1, 1995, the Company had a $5,000,000 line of credit arrangement
with its bank, all of which was available.
 
  On March 31, 1995, the Company's stockholders approved a resolution to
increase the authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 10,000,000 to
30,000,000 shares with a par value of $.05 per share.
 
  The Company believes that its existing bank credit and working capital,
together with funds generated from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy
anticipated sales growth and investment in manufacturing facilities and
equipment. The Company had commitments for approximately $700,000 of capital
expenditures as of April 1, 1995. On March 29, 1995, the Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register shares of its common stock with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
