3.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     During the first six months of fiscal year 1996, the Company sold all of
     the assets, subject to certain liabilities of its Medium Power Transformer
     business and its insulation and form coil business in Brownsville, Texas in
     separate transactions.  The net cash proceeds realized from the sales of
     these businesses, including post closing adjustments approximated $75,000
     and were used to repay bank borrowings primarily under the term loan
     facility.  Currently, the Company is in the process of consummating other
     transactions for the remainder of the discontinued operations.
     Negotiations for sale of the Company's network of service shops and
     remaining domestic transformer businesses are in process and are expected
     to be completed in fiscal 1996.

     During the first six months of fiscal 1996, activity associated with
     discontinued operations have been charged to reserves provided for
     estimated losses on disposal (including interim operating losses) which
     were established in the prior fiscal year.  Net losses incurred for the
     first six months were $344.

4.   LONG TERM DEBT AND BANK BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

     During the second quarter, the Company amended its Bank Loan Agreement to
     modify one of its covenants and adjusted the covenant prospectively to
     reflect expected operating results.  While the Company is currently in
     compliance with all covenants, based on the second quarter operating
     results and revised financial projections, the Company may be in violation
     of certain of its financial covenants in the future.  The


<PAGE>

     Company is currently in discussion with its lenders regarding an amendment
     to address possible future covenant violations.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 VS. 1994

     Net Sales and Gross Profit.
     MagneTek's net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $282.2
     million, a 2.9% reduction from the second quarter of fiscal 1995 at $290.6
     million.  Sales in the Ballasts and Transformers segment decreased 5% due
     primarily to lower revenues from domestic electronic ballasts and to a
     lessor extent magnetic ballast product, partially offset by stronger sales
     of European power supplies and domestic HID (high intensity discharge)
     ballasts.  Revenues in the Motors and Controls segment were relatively flat
     as compared to prior year with increased generator sales being muted by
     lower commercial and residential fractional motors, direct current product,
     and drives sales.  The Company is experiencing reduced orders in both
     electronic and magnetic ballasts.  The latter event has been anticipated as
     customers replace magnetic products with electronic units to capitalize on
     available energy savings.  Lower order activity in electronic ballasts may
     reflect diminished utility rebates and could alter customer demand for
     electronic ballasts in future periods.

     Gross profit decreased to $46.6 million (16.5% of net sales) in the second
     quarter of fiscal 1996 from $58.7 million (20.2% of net sales) in the
     second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The reduction in the gross margin
     percentage for the Company reflected primarily lower ballast sales and
     reduced ballast production.  Magnetic ballast revenues in Germany were
     consistent with the year earlier period, however, competitive pricing and
     higher manufacturing costs reduced actual gross profits.  Sales  of
     European power supplies increased by approximately 28% while margins
     declined due to cost increases and a very competitive price environment.
     Motors and Controls gross profits experienced second quarter erosion due to
     lower sales and production in residential fractional horsepower products
     partially offset by increases in generators and integral motors.

     Operating Expenses.
     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $39.1 million (13.8%
     of net sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 down from $41.3 million
     (14.2% of net sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The decrease in
     SG&A expense resulted from lower discretionary spending and reduced
     expenses associated with lower ballasts revenues including freight and
     agent commissions.

     Interest and Other Expense.
     Interest expense decreased 5.7% to $8.0 million in the second quarter of
     fiscal 1996 from $8.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Overall
     debt levels are lower than in the prior year and interest rates were
     reduced.  Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 reflects
     lower values allocated to discontinued operations as the majority of sales
     have already been completed.  Other expense was comparable to prior year
     levels.

     Net Income.
     The Company recorded losses from continuing operations of $1.5 million in
     the second quarter fiscal 1996 compared to income of $4.5 million in

<PAGE>

     the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The tax benefit in the second
     quarter of fiscal 1996 was less than the statutory rate due to the
     Corporation's inability to tax effect losses incurred in Germany for
     the period.

     SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 VS. 1994

     Net Sales and Gross Profit.
     MagneTek's net sales in the first six months of fiscal 1996 were $554.8
     million, a 1.9% reduction versus the first six months of fiscal 1995 at
     $565.4 million.  Sales in the Ballast and Transformer segment declined 5%
     due to reduced sales of both magnetic and electronic ballasts somewhat
     mitigated by increased revenues of power supplies in Europe.  Sales in the
     Motors and Controls segment increased 2% due to significantly higher
     generator sales and stronger integral horsepower revenues.  Lower sales of
     commercial and residential horsepower motors and direct current product
     reduced the overall increase.

     Gross profit decreased to $89.7 million (16.2% of net sales) in the
     first six months of fiscal 1996, from $110.4 million (19.5% of net
     sales) in the first six months of fiscal 1995.  Degradation in gross
     profits was entirely attributable to performance by the domestic and
     German lighting units within the Ballast and Transformer segment.  Lower
     revenues coupled with production decreases contrasted with the first six
     months of fiscal 1995. Motors and Controls performance while slightly
     less than prior year was heavily impacted by residential fractional
     horsepower (RFHP) motor results. A more tepid housing market created
     reduced volumes and production levels. Excluding the results of RFHP
     motors, Motors and Controls gross profit improved from prior year
     performance.

     Operating Expenses.
     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $76.9 million (13.9%
     of net sales) in the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to $79.7
     million (14.1% of net sales) in the first six months of fiscal 1995.
     Reduced operating expense in both domestic and European lighting and lower
     expenses associated with Corporate headquarters were primarily responsible.

     Interest and Other Expense.
     Interest expense of $16.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 1996
     was increased from interest expense of $16.2 million in the first six
     months of fiscal 1995.  Debt levels for the Company were lower than in the
     same period in the prior fiscal year and interest rates were generally
     lower on the Company's variable rate debt.  Offsetting these two favorable
     factors was a reduction in the amount of interest expense allocable to
     discontinued operations due to the earlier completion of the majority of
     sales of these units.

     Net Income.
     The Company recorded losses from continuing operations of $5.1 million
     through the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to income of $7.1
     million for the same period in fiscal year 1995.  Total income for the
     first six months of fiscal 1995 was $10.2 million after the recognition of
     $3.1 million associated with the gain on the sale of the Controls business.
     The tax benefit in the first six months of fiscal 1996 was less than the
     statutory rate due to the Corporation's inability to tax effect losses
     incurred in Germany.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

As of February 1, 1996, the Company had available borrowing capacity of
approximately $66 million under its bank credit facility.  During the second

<PAGE>

quarter, the Company amended its Bank Loan Agreement to modify one of its
covenants and adjusted the covenant prospectively to reflect expected operating
results.  While the Company is currently in compliance with all covenants, based
on the second quarter operating results and revised financial projections, the
Company may be in violation of certain of its financial covenants in the future.
The Company is currently in discussion with its lenders regarding an amendment
to address possible future covenant violations.
