in the telecommunication, data communication, computer, industrial and medical
segments of the electronics industry.
 
  On May 26, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of 1,395,000 shares
of its common stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $24.4 million.
On June 9, 1995, the Company formed Altron Securities Corporation, a wholly-
owned Massachusetts investment subsidiary.
 
(2) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  In the opinion of the Company's management, these financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The unaudited results
of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 are not
necessarily an indication of the results of operations for the full year.
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Altron Systems Corporation and
Altron Securities Corporation. 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
Exchange Commission (Commission File No. 0-13230). These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
included in the Form 10-K.
 
(3) INVESTMENTS
 
  At September 30, 1995, the Company's investments consisted primarily of debt
securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government agencies and
municipalities. These investments were classified as available-for-sale and
recorded at amortized cost which was not materially different from fair value.
The value of investments with maturities less than one year was $19,947,000
and greater than one year was $4,767,000 at September 30, 1995. Debt
obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year are classified
as current assets because the Company has the option to liquidate them in the
short-term.
 
(4) INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories
are summarized as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 increased 30% to $34.8 million from
net sales of $26.7 million for the same quarter of 1994. Net sales for the
first nine months of 1995 increased 36% to $102.1 million compared to $75.1
million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result
of increased shipments of value added assembly products to the Company's
largest customers in the communication and computer segments of the
electronics industry.
 
  Value added contract manufacturing sales for the third quarter and nine
months of 1995 were $25.3 million and $74.3 million, respectively, or 73% of
the Company's net sales for each period. Net sales for the comparable third
quarter and nine months of 1994 were $16.0 million and $44.6 million
respectively, or 60% of the Company's net sales for each period. Printed
circuit board sales for the third quarter and nine months of 1995 were 27% of
the Company's net sales compared to 40% of net sales for the third quarter and
nine months of 1994.
 
  Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter of 1995
increased to 24.4% as compared to 21.7% in 1994. Gross margin as a percentage
of net sales for the first nine months of 1995 increased to 23.5% compared to
22.1% in 1994. The improvement in the Company's gross margin was primarily a
result of better absorption of fixed costs due to the higher shipment levels
and was also due to manufacturing efficiencies gained through productivity and
product yield improvements.
 
  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 7.3% in the third quarter of 1995 from 8.2% for the same quarter
of 1994. In the first nine months of 1995, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 7.6% of net sales compared to 8.4% for the same period
in 1994. The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales was principally the result of higher net sales and
tight expense controls in all areas.
 
  Other income increased $450,000 in the third quarter and $777,000 for the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to the respective periods of 1994. The
increases resulted primarily from higher cash balances available for
investment mainly due to net proceeds of approximately $24.4 million received
from the sale of the Company's common stock during the second quarter.
Interest expense was $28,000 lower in the third quarter and $107,000 lower for
the first nine months of 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994 as a
result of the payoff of $1.2 million on the Company's term loan in the prior
quarter and lower outstanding borrowings.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  At September 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of $53.2 million
compared to $24.5 million at December 31, 1994. Cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments were $34.3 million at September 30, 1995 and $10.3
million at December 31, 1994. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and
working capital in 1995 was principally due to net proceeds from the public
offering of the Company's common stock completed on May 26, 1995. At September
30, 1995, the Company's $3 million unsecured term loan was reclassified from
long-term debt to a current obligation due to the maturity date being less
than one year.
 
  At September 30, 1995, the Company had a $5 million line of credit
arrangement with its bank, all of which was available.
 
  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 $1.4 million of
capital expenditures as of September 30, 1995.
