              Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                                 June 30, 1996



 1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS

     The Company is a diversified holding company that, through its
     subsidiaries, currently operates in three industry segments: the forestry
     segment, which distributes, leases and provides financing for commercial
     and industrial timber and logging equipment; the computer and electronics
     segment, which markets, services and provides the networking of computers
     and related equipment and electronic parts, and manufactures and markets
     electronic transformers, inductors and filters; and the food processing
     segment, which produces high quality entrees, plated meals, soups, sauces
     and poultry, meat and fish specialties.
 
 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
     and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and
     transactions are eliminated.

     The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
     without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
     and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
     normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
     pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the
     disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
     The information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
     normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods when read
     in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included
     in the Company's latest financial statements filed as part of Form 10-K.
      
 3.  NOTES PAYABLE

     In connection with the acquisition of Texas Timberjack, Inc. (TTI) on June
     24, 1994, the Company issued a non-interest bearing note to the seller in
     the amount of $10,000,000, collateralized by all the capital stock of TTI
     and initially due October 31,1994. As of the maturity date, the Company and
     the seller entered into an agreement providing for the modification,
     extension and renewal of the note, whereby the note was to bear interest at
     12% and mature on October 31, 1995. As of October 31, 1995 the seller
     further extended and modified the note whereby the note, at that time
     having a principal balance of $11,200,000, was to bear interest at 17.5%
     and mature on February 29, 1996. On February 29, 1996 the seller further
     extended and modified the note whereby the note currently bears interest at
     10% and matures on December 31, 1996. The note holder has no recourse to
     any of the assets or capital stock of Polyphase or any of its other
     subsidiaries and no cross-default provisions exist between this note
     agreement and any other Company debt.

                                      -8-

 4.  LONG TERM DEBT

     Effective December 1, 1995, the Company entered into additional agreements
     with the holders of its 12% senior convertible debentures, whereby the
     Company sold an additional $1,500,000 of debentures on generally the same
     terms and conditions as those previously issued. The new debentures bear
     interest at 12%, payable semiannually in June and December, are convertible
     into common stock at the rate of $5.00 per share (subject to adjustment)
     and become due and payable on December 1, 1997.

 5.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     During November 1995, the Company, in a transaction with an unrelated
     corporation, sold 250,000 shares of newly designated Series A-3 Preferred
     Stock for $2,500,000 cash. The designations of the Series A-3 stock are
     similar to those of other series of preferred stock, except that each share
     of Series A-3 preferred stock is, except as otherwise required by law,
     entitled to two votes per share on all matters on which holders of common
     stock are entitled to vote, is entitled to cumulative annual dividends of
     12% and is convertible into two shares of common stock (subject to
     adjustment in certain circumstances.) The Company also entered into an
     agreement with an associate of the aforementioned corporation to provide
     consulting services to the Company over a 36-month period. The
     consideration for such services was the grant of options to purchase
     357,143 shares of common stock at $3.50 per share (the fair market value of
     the common stock at the date of grant) plus hourly fees and expenses.

     During October 1995, the Pyrenees Group exercised its option to purchase
     200,000 shares of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock through the
     issuance of a 7% demand note in the amount of $2,000,000 collateralized by
     the shares issued. During the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 the
     shares were converted to 500,000 shares of common stock and principal
     payments of approximately $589,000 were made on the note.

 6.  ASSET DISPOSITION

     During the period ended June 30, 1996, the Company's Texas Timberjack
     subsidiary completed the sale of a parcel of land in Lufkin, Texas. The
     Company realized a gain of $875,000 on the property having a book value of
     approximately $625,000.

 7.  SALE OF COMPUTER OPERATIONS

     In July 1996, the Company completed a transaction with an unrelated third
     party to sell a controlling interest in the Computer Group. The transaction
     was accomplished through the sale of 51% of a newly formed subsidiary, PC
     Networx America, Inc. (PCNA), whose sole assets consist of the capital
     stock of Network America, Inc., PC Repair of Florida, Inc., Computer
     Systems Concepts and Register Mate, Inc. The consideration for this sale
     amounted to $2,500,000 (subject to adjustments) consisting of cash, notes
     receivable and preferred stock. The Company intends to publicly distribute
     to its shareholders a dividend of 30% of the outstanding stock of PCNA with
     the Company retaining 19%. This distribution is expected to occur within
     six months of closing. In a related transaction with the same party, the
     Company sold 100% of the stock of Micro Configurations, Inc. for a note
     receivable in the amount of $900,000, secured by the stock and assets of
     MCC. No gain or loss was realized on either of these transactions.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
     As of June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 the net assets of the operations
     sold in these transactions were $5,071,000 and $5,891,000 respectively. For
     the three months ending June 30,1996 and 1995, the operations contributed a
     loss of $404,000 and $5,000 respectively. For the nine months ending June
     30, 1996 and 1995, these operations contributed a loss of $833,000 and
     $422,000 respectively.


 8.  RELATED PARTIES

     During the period ended December 31, 1995, the Company advanced to or on
     behalf of Mr. Paul A. Tanner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
     Company, amounts which aggregated approximately $1.5 million. Effective
     December 8, 1995, the advances and an unpaid promissory note receivable
     from Mr. Tanner were refinanced through the issuance to the Company of a
     12% unsecured demand note from Mr. Tanner in the principal amount of
     $2,000,872.

     Also during the period ended December 31, 1995, the Company made
     disbursements to the Pyrenees Group, a corporation controlled by Mr.
     Tanner, of approximately $2.67 million, of which $1,153,000 represented
     repayment of existing advances from Pyrenees, with the balance representing
     an advance to Pyrenees of approximately $1.5 million.

     During January 1996, the Company reached an agreement in principle to
     manage a project to develop and build a multi-purpose sports facility in
     Las Vegas, Nevada. The project is being developed by PLY Stadium Partners,
     Inc. (PLY), a private investment firm headed by Mr. Tanner. As part of the
     transaction, the Company is also to participate in the facility's
     management, sales of suites and seat options, concessions and events and is
     to be compensated for such services. The Company agreed to provide to PLY
     up to $4 million of debt that (1) is convertible into a 14% economic
     interest in the project and (2) is to be guaranteed by certain members of
     the investment group. As part of this agreement, the amounts receivable
     from Mr. Tanner and Pyrenees (approximately $3.5 million), together with
     any subsequent amounts advanced, charged or accrued to or on behalf of PLY
     are to be considered as components of the $4 million of convertible debt,
     to bear interest at 12% and are to be guaranteed by Mr. Tanner and
     Pyrenees. Amounts advanced in excess of $4 million, also subject to such
     guarantees, are due and payable currently by PLY. During the nine months
     ended June 30, 1996, the Company accrued management and service revenues of
     $2.4 million and interest income of $240,000 related to the Company's
     activities with PLY. At June 30, 1996, the total amount receivable from PLY
     amounted to approximately $12.3 million, the collectibility of which is
     dependent upon the success of the project and/or the guarantees referred to
     above.

     It was recently announced that PLY's exclusive right to purchase a certain
     parcel of real estate in Las Vegas had expired pursuant to the terms of the
     purchase contract. Efforts are continuing to finance the stadium
     construction either on another site or on all or a portion of the parcel
     originally under contract. PLY has recently received acceptable term sheets
     from two investment banking firms and is currently in the latter stages of
     negotiating the funding for purchase of the land. Completion of the
     transaction is subject to, among other things, final approvals and the
     negotiation and execution of acceptable documentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS


Results of Operations

Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 increased $51,649,000 (86%) to
$111,725,000 from $60,076,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
Operating income also increased $3,508,000 (87%) over the comparable period,
primarily attributable to the inclusion of the operations of Overhill Farms, Inc
("Overhill Farms") for the full period which were acquired by the Company in May
1995.

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 increased $280,000 (13%) to
$2,377,000 from $2,097,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  Net
income was affected by increased interest expense from the acquisition of
Overhill Farms, the reduction of tax benefits available during the period and
dividends paid on the outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock.

The Food Group's revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were
$72,203,000 and $16,574,000 respectively.  Operating income for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $4,913,000 and $1,418,000 respectively.  The
increase in revenues and operating income reflect the inclusion of the food
operations for a full nine months in fiscal 1996 compared to two months in
fiscal 1995.  Revenues from the Food Group's airline and healthcare customers
have begun to stabilize over the past three months, while growth continues in
the retail and food service sectors.  The retail sector's growth is in the
development of branded and unbranded frozen entrees for the grocery and
warehouse outlets.

Revenues for the Forestry Group for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
decreased $5,861,000 to $24,032,000 from $29,893,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995.  Operating income for the comparable period decreased $989,000.
The decreases in revenue and operating income were primarily due to the strong
demand for lumber and favorable weather conditions in Eastern Texas during
calendar 1995 as compared to 1996.  Consequently, logging companies upgraded or
purchased new equipment in 1995 to satisfy the lumber mills' demand.  The
drought conditions which began in late 1995 in East Texas have caused an
unfavorable economic environment in the timber industry through the winter and
spring of 1996.  Management expects the weakness in the timber industry to
continue for the remainder of fiscal 1996 and into fiscal 1997.  As discussed in
Note 6, the Company completed the sale of a parcel of land in June 1996
realizing a gain of $875,000.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, revenues for the Computer and
Electronics Group decreased $513,000 to $13,095,000 from $13,608,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1995. Operating income for the nine months ending
June 30, 1996 decreased to a loss of approximately $752,000.  The loss was
primarily attributable to inventory adjustments as a result of the significant
declines in the price of memory and other components in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996.  Subsequent to June 30, 1996, as discussed in Note 7, the Company
disposed of 51% of its computer operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company generated cash of
approximately $7,522,536 in its operating activities compared to a use of cash
in the amount of $1,855,000 during the comparable period in fiscal 1995. The
cash was provided primarily from increases in depreciation and amortization
expenses associated with the acquisition of Overhill Farms, increased accruals
and decreases in trade receivables at TTI. This was partially offset by
increased inventories, primarily at Overhill and TTI, during the period.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's investing activities
used cash of approximately $13,529,000 compared to a use of cash in the amount
of $33,426,000 during the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The Company's use
of cash during the nine months ended June 30, 1996 consisted primarily of
advances to PLY. (See Note 8)

During the nine months ended June 30, 1996 the Company's financing activities
provided cash of approximately $3,455,000 as compared to $34,568,000 of cash
provided in the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  During the period the Company
placed  $2,500,000 of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and sold $1,500,000 of 12%
convertible debentures.  The funds from these transactions were used, in part,
in the repayment of advances of $1,153,000 from related parties in connection
with the acquisition of Overhill Farms and prepaying approximately  $750,000 on
existing Overhill Farms term loans.  On April 1, 1996, the Company utilized a
line of credit for approximately $6 million for an advance made to PLY.

The Company plans to continue its program of expansion and diversification
through the acquisition of additional operating companies.  Funding for these
acquisitions is anticipated to come from a combination of internally generated
funds, proceeds from the issuance of shares of preferred stock and from
additional borrowings.  The Company's management believes that cash generated
from operations, together with available lines of credit and contemplated debt
and/or equity placements, will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity
requirements for the next 12 months.

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q are not based on historical
facts, but are forward-looking statements that are based upon numerous
assumptions about future conditions that could prove not to be accurate.  Actual
events, transactions and results may materially differ from the anticipated
events, transactions or results described in such statements.  The Company's
ability to consummate such transactions and achieve such events or results is
subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  Such risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, the existence of demand for and acceptance of
the Company's products and services, the availability of appropriate candidates
for acquisition by the Company, regulatory approvals, economic conditions, the
impact of competition and pricing, results of financing efforts and other
factors affecting the Company's business that are beyond the Company's control,
including but not limited to the matters described in "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations."
