Major Customers

     A majority of the Company's sales are to certain major customers.  
The loss of or substantially reduced sales to any of these customers 
would have an adverse effect on the Company's operations if such sales 
were not replaced.

Inventories

     Inventories, which consist primarily of raw materials used in the 
production of electronic components, are valued at the lower of cost 
(first-in, first-out method) or market value.  The cost of finished 
goods and work in process consists of direct materials, direct labor and 
an appropriate portion of fixed and variable manufacturing overhead.  
Inventories are comprised of following:

NOTE 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)

Earnings per Share

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
FAS 128, "Earnings Per Share," which was adopted on December 31, 1997 
requiring a change in the method previously used to compute earnings 
per share and restatement of all prior periods.  The new requirements 
for calculating basic earnings per share exclude the dilutive effect of 
stock options and warrants.  Earnings per share under the diluted compu-
tation required under FAS 128 includes the dilutive effect of stock 
options and warrants using the treasury stock method and average market
price, shares assumed to be converted on the conversion of the con-
vertible promissory note to the Company's Parent with earnings adjusted
for interest expense related to the convertible promissory note which 
is assumed to be converted, and contingent shares for the stock price 
guarantee for the acquisition of Lytton.

Following is a reconciliation of amounts used in the basic and diluted 
computations:

$6.60 per share and $.25 per warrant with each warrant exercisable into
common stock at $8.25 per share have been included since they were anti-
dilutive.

Comprehensive Income

     The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting 
Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" 
(FAS 130) in 1998 which is required by FAS 130 for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1997.  FAS 130 requires the presentation 
of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements 
and the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately 
from retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the equity 
section of the balance sheet.  The adoption of FAS 130 has no impact 
on the Company's net income or stockholders' equity.  The only component
of other comprehensive income in the Company's balance sheet is foreign 
currency translation adjustments which even prior to adoption of FAS 130
would have been separately reported in stockholders' equity.

Segment Reporting

     The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting 
Standards Board Statement No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an 
Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131) in 1998 which is required
by FAS 131 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  FAS 131 
establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments
in annual financial statements with operating segments representing 
components of an enterprise evaluated by the enterprise's chief operating
decision maker for purposes of making decisions regarding resource allo-
cation and performance evaluation.  FAS 131 also requires that certain 
segment information be presented in interim financial statements.  
Interim information is not required in the first year of implementation; 
however, in subsequent years in which the first year of implementation 
is a comparative year, any required interim information for the initial 
year of implementation must be presented.  The Company does not believe 
that adoption of FAS 131 will significantly change its segment reporting 
disclosures.

Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial state-
ments to conform to the 1998 presentation.

NOTE 2--Interim Adjustments

     The financial summaries for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
and March 31, 1997 are unaudited and include, in the opinion of manage-
ment of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) necessary to present fairly the earnings for such periods.  
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 
entire year ending December 31, 1998.

     While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are ade-
quate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that 
these Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements be read in conjunc-
tion with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's
latest annual report for the year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE 3--Long-term Debt

     The Company's $1,600,000 line of credit effective December 29, 1997
had an outstanding balance of $1,000,000 at March 31, 1998 and at De-
cember 31, 1997.  This line matures May 1, 2000 and has monthly pay-
ments of interest at prime.  The new commercial term loan effective 
December 29, 1997 with an initial principal balance of $1,500,000 had 
an outstanding balance of $1,425,000 at March 31, 1998 and $1,500,000 
at December 31, 1997, matures December 15, 2002 with monthly principal 
payments of $25,000 plus interest.  In connection with the term loan, 
the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the bank 
to manage the Company's exposure to interest rates by effectively 
converting a variable rate obligation with an interest rate of LIBOR 
plus 2.25% to a fixed rate of 8.60%.

NOTE 3--Long-term Debt--(Continued)

     The bank also extended two commercial term loans to the Company 
in February 1996, one for $712,500 for five years expiring on February
7, 2001 at an annual rate of interest equal to 8.28% with a monthly 
payment of principal and interest of $6,925 based on a 15-year amor-
tization schedule with the unpaid principal and accrued interest due
on the expiration date.  This term loan had an outstanding balance of
approximately $655,000 at March 31, 1998 and $663,000 at December 31,
1997 and is secured by a mortgage on properties in Hialeah, Florida 
owned by the Company's Parent.  The second commercial term loan was 
for the principal amount of $200,000 for a period of five years 
bearing interest at a per annum rate of 1.25% over the bank's prime 
rate and requiring monthly principal payments with accrued interest 
of $3,333 through expiration on February 7, 2001.  This $200,000 term
loan which had a balance of approximately $117,000 at March 31, 1998 
and $127,000 at December 31, 1997 is secured by all of Techdyne's 
tangible personal property, goods and equipment, and all cash or 
noncash proceeds of such collateral.

     The Parent has unconditionally guaranteed the payment and per-
formance by the Company of the revolving loan and the three commercial
term loans and has subordinated the Company's intercompany indebtedness
to the Parent to the bank's position.

     Lytton has a $1,500,000 revolving bank line of credit requiring 
monthly interest payments at prime plus 1/2% which matures August 1, 
1998. The interest rate on this loan was 9% at March 31, 1998 and De-
cember 31, 1997.  The balance outstanding on this loan was approxi-
mately $555,000 at March 31, 1998 and $549,000 at December 31, 1997.  
Lytton has a $1,000,000 installment loan with the same bank maturing 
August 1, 2002, at an annual rate of 9% until July 1999, with monthly 
payments of $16,667 plus interest, at which time Lytton will have an 
option to convert the note to a variable rate.  The balance outstanding
on this loan was approximately $833,000 at March 31, 1998 and $933,000 
as of December 31, 1997. Lytton also has a $500,000 equipment loan 
agreement with the same bank payable over four years through August 1, 
2002 with the same interest rate as the installment loan.  There was no 
outstanding balance on this loan as of March 31, 1998 or December 31, 
1997.  All of these bank loans are secured by the business assets of 
Lytton.

     The prime rate was 8.5% as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

     Lytton conducts a portion of its operations with equipment acquired
under equipment financing obligations which extend through July 1999 with
interest rates ranging from 8.55% to 10.09%.  The remaining principal 
balance under these financing obligations amounted to $334,000 at March 
31, 1998 and $390,000 at December 31, 1997.  Lytton has an equipment 
loan at an annual interest rate of 5.5% maturing in April 2001 with 
monthly payments of principal and interest of $4,298.  This loan has a 
balance of approximately $188,000 at March 31, 1998 and $198,000 at 
December 31, 1997 and is secured by equipment.

     Techdyne (Scotland) has a line of credit with a Scottish bank with 
a U.S. dollar equivalency of approximately $330,000 at March 31, 1998 
and December 31, 1997.  This line of credit operates as an overdraft 
facility, is secured by assets of Techdyne (Scotland) and is guaranteed 
by Techdyne.  No amounts were outstanding under this line of credit as 
of March 31, 1998 or December 31, 1997.  Techdyne (Scotland) has a mort-
gage on its facility which had a principal balance with a U.S. dollar 
equivalency of $569,000 at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

     Interest payments on long-term debt amounted to approximately 
$143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $36,000 for the 
same period of the preceding year.

NOTE 4--Income Taxes

     Subsequent to the completion of the Company's public offering on 
October 2, 1995, the Company files separate federal and state income 
tax returns from its Parent, with its income tax liability reflected 
on a separate return basis.

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary dif-
ferences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax pur-
poses. For financial reporting purposes a valuation allowance of 
approximately $850,000 has been recognized to offset the deferred tax 
assets.

     The Company had domestic income tax expense of approximately 
$45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $9,000 for the 
same period of the preceding year.

     Techdyne (Scotland) had an income tax benefit of approximately 
$5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $57,000 for the 
same period of the preceding year.

     Income tax payments for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
amounted to $38,000.  There were no such payments for the same period 
of the preceding year.

NOTE 5--Transactions with Parent

     The Parent provides certain administrative services to the Company 
including providing office space and general accounting assistance.  
Effective October 1, 1996, the services provided to the Company by the 
Parent were formalized under a two year service agreement for $408,000 
per year.  The amount of expenses covered under the service agreement 
totaled $102,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and for the 
same period of the preceding year.

     The Company's demand convertible promissory note payable to the 
Parent which bears interest at 5.7% had a balance including accrued 
interest of approximately $2,325,000 at March 31, 1998 and $2,292,000 
at December 31, 1997, and may be converted into common stock of the 
Company at the option of the Parent at a conversion price of $1.75 per 
share.  Advances from the Parent on the balance sheet includes the 
convertible note balance and an advance payable to the Parent of approx-
imately $153,000 at March 31, 1998 and $15,000 at December 31, 1997 with
interest at 5.7%.  Interest on the advances amounted to $34,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 and $36,000 for the same period of the
preceding year and is included in the net balance due the Parent.  The 
Parent has agreed not to require repayment of the intercompany advances 
prior to April 1, 1999 and, therefore, the advances have been classified
as long-term at March 31, 1998.

     The Company manufactures certain products for the Parent.  Sales of
the products were $51,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 
$52,000 for the same period of the preceding year.

NOTE 6--Commitments and Contingencies

   Lytton sponsors a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering substantially 
all of its employees.  The discretionary profit sharing and matching 
expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 amounted to approxi-
mately $10,000.

NOTE 6--Commitments and Contingencies--(Continued)

     Lytton has a deferred compensation agreement with its President.  
The agreement calls for monthly payments of $8,339 provided that 
Lytton's cash flow is adequate to cover these payments with interest to 
be calculated on any unpaid balance as of August 1, 1999.  During the 
three months ended March 31, 1998, a total of $33,357 was paid under 
this agreement, leaving a balance of approximately $133,000.

     Lytton leases its operating facilities from an entity owned by the 
President of Lytton and his wife, the former owner.  The lease expires 
July 31, 2002 and requires monthly lease payments of approximately $17,900
the first year, adjusted each year thereafter based upon the Consumer 
Price Index.

NOTE 7--Stock Options

     In May 1994, the Company adopted a stock option plan for up to 
250,000 options.  Pursuant to this plan, in May 1994, the board of 
directors granted 227,500 options of which there are 171,600 out-
standing as of March 31, 1998, to certain of its officers, directors 
and employees.  These options are exercisable at $1 per share through 
May 24, 1999.

     On February 27, 1995 the Company granted stock options, not part 
of the 1994 Plan, to directors of Techdyne and its subsidiaries for 
142,500 shares exercisable at $1.75 per share through February 26, 2000.
In April 1996, the Company granted a stock option for 10,000 shares, not
part of the 1994 Plan, to its general counsel at the same price and 
terms as the directors' options.

     In June 1997, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan for up to 
500,000 options, and pursuant to the plan the board granted 375,000 
options exercisable for five years through June 22, 2002 at $3.25 per 
share.

NOTE 8--Common Stock

     The Company completed a public offering of common stock and 
warrants on October 2, 1995 providing it with net proceeds of approxi-
mately $3,321,000.  Pursuant to the offering, 1,000,000 shares of 
common stock and 1,000,000 redeemable common stock purchase warrants 
were issued.  The warrants provide for the purchase of one common share,
each with an exercise price of $5.00 exercisable from September 13, 
1995 through September 12, 1998.  During 1997, approximately 41,000 
warrants were exercised resulting in proceeds of approximately $194,000,
net of commissions.  The underwriter received warrants to purchase 
100,000 shares of common stock and/or 100,000 warrants exercisable 
from September 13, 1996 through September 12, 2000 at $6.60 per share 
of common stock and $.25 per warrant with each warrant exercisable into
common stock at $8.25 per share.

NOTE 9--ACQUISITION

     On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired Lytton, which manufactures 
and assembles printed circuit boards and other electronic products, for 
$2,500,000 cash, paid at closing, and issuance of 300,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock which have been registered for the seller.  The 
Company has guaranteed that the seller will realize a minimum of 
$2,000,000 from the sale of these shares of common stock. The total 
purchase price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired which
originally amounted to approximately $2,230,000 will be amortized over 
25 years.  In addition, additional contingent consideration may be due 
if Lytton achieves pre-defined earning and sales levels.  Additional 
consideration of approximately $154,000 based on sales levels was paid 
in April 1998 with the Stock Purchase Agreement providing for possible 
additional sales level incentives over a two year period.  As the con-
tingencies are resolved, if additional consideration is due, the then 
current fair value of the consideration will be recorded as goodwill, 
which will be amortized over the remainder of the initial 25 year life.

     The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of 
accounting and, accordingly, the results of operation of Lytton have 
been included in the Company's statement of income since August 1, 1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- ------  -----------------------------------------------------------
        and Results of Operations
        -------------------------

Forward-Looking Information

     The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that
are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the 
Securities Exchange Act of the 1934.  The Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act") contains certain safe harbors 
regarding forward-looking statements.  Certain of the forward-looking 
statements include management's expectations, intentions and beliefs 
with respect to the growth of the Company, the nature of the elec-
tronics industry in which it is engaged as a manufacturer, the 
Company's business strategies and plans for future operations, its 
needs for capital expenditures, capital resources, liquidity and 
operating results, and similar expressions concerning matters that 
are not historical facts.  Such forward-looking statements are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materi-
ally differ from those expressed in the statements.

     The Company has continued to depend upon a relatively small number
of customers for a significant percentage of its net revenue.  Signifi-
cant reductions in sales to any of the Company's large customers would 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

     The industry segments served by the Company and the electronics 
industry as a whole, are subject to rapid technological change and 
product obsolescence.  Discontinuance or modification of products 
containing components manufactured by the Company could adversely 
affect the Company's results of operations.  The electronics industry
is also subject to economic cycles and has in the past experienced, 
and is likely in the future to experience, recessionary periods.  A 
general recession in the electronics industry could have a material 
adverse effect on Techdyne's business, financial condition and results 
of operations.

     In 1997 the Company commenced upgrading its operations software 
program by acquiring a new Visual Manufacturing software package.  It 
has been and will be integrating this new software system into all of 
its facilities.   Lytton and Techdyne (Scotland) anticipate installing 
the Visual Manufacturing software system into their operations sometime
in early 1999, most likely with more sophisticated modifications based 
upon the Company's experience with and internal technological advances 
to the system.

     It is anticipated that the Visual Manufacturing software will be 
fully integrated by 1999.  This system is anticipated to also resolve 
the "year 2000" issue which relates to computer information processing 
challenges associated with the upcoming millennium change facing public
and private corporations, businesses, and all levels of government to 
ensure continued proper operations, management and reporting

      With respect to the year 2000 issue, the Company is communicating 
with its key vendors, customers and other third parties with whom its 
operations are essential to inquire of them their assessment of their 
year 2000 issue and actions being taken to resolve it.  To the extent 
such third parties are potentially adversely affected by the "year 2000"
issue, and such is not timely and properly resolved by such persons, 
this could disrupt the Company's operations to the extent that the 
Company will have to find alternative vendors or customers that have
resolved their year 2000 issue.  No assurance can be given that the 
Company's new Visual Manufacturing software program will be successful 
in its anticipated operational benefits as assessed above or that the 
Company's key vendors and customers will have successful conversion 
programs, and that any such failures, whether relating to the manufac-
turing operational efficiencies or the year 2000 issue, will not have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations
or financial condition.

     Although management believes that the Company's operations utilize 
the assembly and testing technologies and equipment currently required 
by the Company's customers, there can be no assurance that the Company's
process development efforts will be successful or that the emergence of 
new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements will not 
render the Company's technology, equipment or processes obsolete or 
uncompetitive.  In addition, to the extent that the Company determines 
that new assembly and testing technologies and equipment are required 
to remain competitive, the acquisition and implementation of such tech-
nologies and equipment are likely to require significant capital invest-
ment.

<PAGE>  

     Techdyne has been expanding its geographic and customer base by 
establishing more extensive facilities in the Northeast and Southwest,
and through its July, 1997 acquisition of Lytton, an Ohio electronics 
manufacturer, primarily PCBs, in the Midwest.  Management intends
to continue to expand within the United States by continuing to estab-
lish new manufacturing facilities and operations in areas to better 
serve existing customers and to attract new OEMs, as well as direct 
acquisition of contract manufacturing businesses complimentary to the 
Company's operations.  The Company will be competing with much larger 
electronic manufacturing entities for such expansion opportunities.  
Further, any such transactions may result in potentially dilutive 
issuance of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and amortization 
expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, and other 
costs and expenses, all of which could materially adversely affect the
Company's financial results.  Such transactions also involve numerous 
business risks, including difficulties in successfully integrating 
acquired operations, technologies and products or formalizing antici-
pated synergies, and the diversion of management's attention from 
other business concerns.  In the event that any such transaction does 
occur, there can be no assurance as to the beneficial effect on the 
Company's business and financial results.

     Quality control is also essential to the Company's operations, 
since customers demand strict compliance with design and product spe-
cifications.  Any adverse change in the Company's excellent quality 
and process controls could adversely affect its relationship with 
customers and ultimately its revenues and profitability.

     All forward-looking statements included in this document are based 
on information available to the Company on the date hereof, and the 
Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking state-
ment.  The following cautionary statements are being made pursuant to 
the provisions of the Reform Act with the intention of the Company 
obtaining the benefits of the safe harbor provisions of the Reform Act. 
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially 
are the factors detailed in the risks discussed in the "Risk Factors" 
section included in the Company's Registration Statements, as filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") Form SB-2 
(effective September 13, 1995), and Forms S-3, effective November 11, 
1996 and November 4, 1997, respectively.

Results of Operations

     Consolidated revenues increased approximately $5,520,000 (86%) for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the preceding year. 
The increase was largely attributable to the inclusion of sales of 
Lytton of $4,527,000.  There was an overall increase in domestic sales 
of $5,149,000 (104%), including Lytton, and an increase in European 
sales of $380,000 (27%) compared to the same period of the preceding 
year.  Interest and other income decreased by approximately $10,000 
compared to the preceding year, due to lower interest income as a result
of a decrease in funds invested.

     Revenues of Techdyne (Scotland) continue to be highly dependent on 
sales to Compaq, which accounted for approximately 27% of sales for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 55% for the same period of
the preceding year. The bidding for Compaq orders has become more com-
petitive which has resulted in substantially reduced Compaq sales and 
lower profit margins on remaining Compaq sales. Techdyne (Scotland) is 
pursuing new business development, has offset some of the lost Compaq 
business with sales to other customers and is continuing cost reduction 
efforts to remain competitive on Compaq business.  There can be no 
assurance as to the success of such efforts.

     Approximately 43% of the Company's consolidated sales for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 were made to four customers. Customers 
generating at least 10% of sales included Motorola (13%) and PMI Food 
Equipment Group (12%).  PMI Food Equipment Group is Lytton's major 
customer and represented 32% of Lytton's sales for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998.  The loss of, or substantially reduced sales to 
any major customer, would have an adverse effect on the Company's 
operations if such sales are not replaced.

     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales amounted to 86% for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 84% for the same 
period of the preceding year reflecting changes in product mix and a 
diversification of the Company's customer base, including changes due 
to Lytton.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $356,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period of the 
preceding year. The increase resulted principally from inclusion of the 
selling, general and administrative expenses of Lytton.  Selling general
and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 9% for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 11% for the same period of the 
preceding year.

<PAGE>  

     Interest expense increased $96,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 compared to the preceding year. The increase reflects interest 
of approximately $53,000 associated with financing the Lytton acquisition
and interest on Lytton's debt and financing agreements of approximately 
$43,000. The prime rate was 8.5% at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company had working capital of $10,058,000 at March 31, 1998,
an increase of $511,000 (5%) during the first quarter of 1998. This 
increase reflects changes in components of working capital resulting 
from overall increased sales levels.

     Included in the changes in components of working capital was an 
increase of $429,000 in cash and cash equivalents, which included net 
cash used in operating activities of $554,000, net cash used in 
investing activities of $91,000 (including $93,000 from additions to 
property and equipment) and net cash used in financing activities of 
$40,000 (including payments on long-term debt of $217,000 and a net 
increase in advances from the Parent of $170,000).

     The Company has a five-year $1,500,000 ("notional amount under 
interest rate swap agreement") commercial term loan with monthly 
principal payments of $25,000 plus interest at 8.60%, which had an 
outstanding balance of $1,425,000 at March 31, 1998 and $1,500,000 
at December 31, 1997 and a $1,600,000 commercial revolving line of 
credit with interest at prime of which $1,000,000 was outstanding as 
of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997. The commercial term loan 
matures December 15, 2002 and the commercial line of credit, no longer
a demand line, matures May 1, 2000.  See Note 3 to "Notes to Con-
solidated Condensed Financial Statements."

     The Company had obtained in 1996 two other term loans from its 
Florida bank.  One is a $712,500 term loan, which had a remaining 
principal balance of $655,000 at March 31, 1998 and $663,000 at 
December 31, 1997, and is secured by two buildings and land owned by 
the Parent.  The second term loan for $200,000, which had a remaining 
principal balance of $117,000 at March 31, 1998 and $127,000 at 
December 31, 1997, is secured by the Company's tangible personal 
property, goods and equipment.  The Parent has guaranteed the 
revolving line and the three term loans and subordinated the inter-
company indebtedness due it from the Company, provided that the Company
may make payments to the Parent on this subordinated debt from addi-
tional equity that is injected into the Company and from earnings, so 
long as the Company is otherwise in compliance with the loan agreements.
See Note 3 to "Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements".

      The Company has outstanding borrowings of $145,000 from a local 
bank with interest payable monthly with the note, which was renewed 
during 1997, maturing April 2000.

     Techdyne (Scotland) has a line of credit with a Scottish bank, with 
an U.S. dollar equivalency of approximately $330,000 at March 31, 1998 
and December 31, 1997 that is secured by assets of Techdyne (Scotland) 
and guaranteed by the Company.  This line of credit operates as an over-
draft facility.  No amounts were outstanding under this line of credit 
as of March 31, 1998 or December 31, 1997.  In July, 1994 Techdyne 
(Scotland) purchased the facility housing its operations for approxi-
mately $730,000, obtaining a 15-year mortgage which had a U.S. dollar 
equivalency of approximately $569,000 at March 31, 1998 and December 
31, 1997, based on exchange rates in effect at each of these dates.  See
Note 3 to "Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements."

     On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired Lytton Incorporated, which 
is engaged in the manufacture and assembly of PCBs and other electronic
products for commercial customers. This acquisition required $2,500,000
cash at closing, funded by the modified bank line of credit, as well as
300,000 shares of the Company's common stock which had a fair value of 
approximately $1,031,000 based on the closing price of the Company's 
common stock on the date of acquisition.  The Company has guaranteed 
$2,000,000 minimum proceeds ($2,400,000 if certain earnings objectives 
are met over a specified twelve month period) to the seller with respect
to these shares. The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides for in-
centive consideration to be paid in cash based on specific sales levels 
of Lytton for each of three successive specified years.  Additional 
consideration of approximately $154,000 based on sales levels was paid 
in April 1998, with the Stock Purchase Agreement providing for possible
additional sales level incentives over a two year period.  Based upon 
the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 31, 1998, the 
shares issued in the Lytton acquisition had a fair value of $1,293,000 
which could result in additional consideration of approximately $707,000
payable in either cash or in approximately 164,000 shares of the 
Company's stock. If the earnings objective is met, an additional 
$400,000 would be payable in cash or approximately 93,000 shares of 
common stock based upon the March 31, 1998 closing stock price. The 
Lytton 

<PAGE>  

acquisition has expanded the Company's customer base, broadened its 
product line, enhanced its manufacturing capabilities and provided a 
new geographic area to better serve the Company's existing customer 
base with opportunities to attract new customers. See Notes 3 and 9 to
"Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements."

     The Company anticipates that current levels of working capital and
working capital from operations, including those of Lytton, will be 
adequate to successfully meet liquidity demands for at least the next 
twelve months, including the financing obligations incurred in the 
acquisition of Lytton.


Inflation

     Inflationary factors have not had a significant effect on the 
Company's operations.  The Company attempts to pass on increased costs
and expenses by increasing selling prices when and where possible and 
by developing different and improved products for its customers that 
can be sold at targeted profit margins.
