Item 5.  Other Events

     The Company acquired Lytton Incorporated, a Delaware corporation 
("Lytton") in July, 1997 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement ("Agree-
ment") for $2,500,000 and 300,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par 
value, of the Company ("Techdyne Common Stock") and certain incentive 
compensation.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company had guaranteed 
the amount of consideration to be received by Patricia Crossley, the 
singular selling shareholder of Lytton, up through July 30, 1998 for 
the sale of the Techdyne Common Stock.  The guaranty is for $2,400,000 
("Guaranteed Proceeds") subject to Lytton satisfying certain pre-tax 
earnings ("Earnings Level"), otherwise the guarantee is fo $2,000,000, 
and requires the shares to be sold on or before July 30, 1998.  If the 
selling shareholder realizes an amount less than the Guaranteed Proceeds
upon the sale of her Techdyne Common Stock, the Company would make up 
the difference, at the discretion of the Company, in either cash or 
additional common stock of the Company.  

     On June 29, 1998, Patricia Crossley and the Company entered into 
Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement ("Amendment No. 1") modifying the 
guaranty to provide that the selling shareholder shall sell on or prior 
to July 31, 1998 such number of her Techdyne Common Stock to yield 
aggregate gross proceeds of no more than $1,300,000.  The balance of the
Techdyne Common Stock, defined as the Remaining Techdyne Common Stock, 
may be sold at any time thereafter, and the Company will issue to 
Patricia Crossley that amount of its common stock, if necessary, to 
insure that the Remaining Techdyne Common Stock shall be 150,000 shares.
The Remaining Techdyne Common Stock is, subject to satisfaction of the 
Earnings Level, guaranteed for gross proceeds of no less than $1,100,000
("Guaranteed Amount") if sold on or prior to July 31, 1999 ("Extended 
Guaranty Period").  If sales of the Remaining Techdyne Common Stock 
provides the selling shareholder with less than the Guaranteed Amount, 
the Company shall provide her the difference in cash or additional 
common stock of the Company, or a combination of both, at the dis-
cretion of the Company.  The Extended Guaranty terminates if the 
Remaining Techdyne Common Stock is sold beyond the Extended Guaranty 
Period, or if the last sales price per share of the Company's Common 
Stock during the Extended Guaranty Period was, for a 20 trading day 
period in any 30 consecutive trading day period, at least 40% more than 
the per share price of the Remaining Techdyne Common Stock determined by
dividing the Guaranteed Amount by the Remaining Techdyne Common Stock.  
Any sums realized by the selling shareholder in excess of the Guaranteed
Amount belongs to the selling shareholder.

     On June 30, 1998, four officers of the Company (three of whom are 
directors) executed their 1994 incentive stock options, exercisable at 
$1.00 per share, for an aggregate of 115,000 shares of Common Stock.  
The exercise was accomplished with cash for the par value amount of the 
shares acquired with the balance in three year recourse promissory notes
at 5.16% annual interest.  The notes are secured with the Common Stock 
acquired upon exercise of the options, which shares are being held in 
escrow pending payment of the promissory notes.  The Common Stock so 
acquired may be voted by the shareholder until a default, if any, in 
payment of principal or interest of the promissory note.

                   AMENDMENT TO STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     Amendment No. 1 dated June 29th, 1998 to Stock Purchase Agreement 
("Amendment No. 1") between LYTTON CORPORATION (the "Company"), PAT 
CROSSLEY (the "Seller") and TECHDYNE, INC. (the "Buyer") dated July 31,
1997 (the "Agreement").

     WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer are desirous of amending the Agreement as 
provided for in this Amendment No. 1 relating solely to the extension of 
the Guarantee of the Buyer with respect to the 300,000 shares of Techdyne 
common stock, $.01 par value (the "Techdyne Common Stock") issued to 
Seller as part consideration for the acquisition of the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agree-
ments herein set forth and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, 
Seller and Buyer, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

     1.   Section 1.2 (iii), "Buyer Guarantee" is amended to read as 
          follows:

               Seller shall sell on or prior to July 31, 1998 such number
          of the Techdyne Common Stock as to yield aggregate gross 
          proceeds of no more than $1,300,000.  The balance of the 
          Techdyne Common Stock remaining subsequent to such sale 
          ("Remaining Techdyne Common Stock") may be sold at any time 
          thereafter.  The Remaining Techdyne Common Stock shall not be 
          less than 150,000 shares of the common stock of Techdyne; and, 
          to the extent that Seller sells more than 150,000 shares of her
          Techdyne Common Stock to realize all or a portion of the 
          $1,300,000 of aggregate proceeds, then Buyer shall issue to 
          Seller that amount of Buyer's common stock so that the Re-
          maining Techdyne Common Stock shall be 150,000 shares.

               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Seller 
          sells the Remaining Techdyne Common Stock on or prior to July 31,
          1999 ("Extended Guarantee Period"), then Buyer will guarantee 
          Seller aggregate gross proceeds of no less than $1,100,000 (the
          "Guaranteed Amount").  To the extent that Seller sells the 
          Remaining Techdyne Common Stock within the Extended Guarantee 
          Period and receives gross proceeds less than the Guaranteed 
          Amount, Buyer shall as soon as possible but no later than forty-
          five (45) days from the sale of the Remaining Techdyne Common 
          Stock by Seller, make up the difference between the gross 
          proceeds received by Seller and the Guaranteed Amount, in whole 
          or any combination of, in the discretion of the Buyer, cash 
          and/or additional Techdyne Common Stock.

               Buyer's Guarantee of the Guaranteed Amount terminates upon 
          any of the following events or occurrences:

               1.   Seller fails to sell the Remaining Techdyne Common 
                    Stock within the Extended Guarantee Period; or

               2.   The last sales price per share of the common stock of 
                    Techdyne as reported by Nasdaq for a period of twenty 
                    (20) trading days in any thirty (30) consecutive 
                    trading day period equals at least forty percent (40%)
                    more than the per share price of the 

<PAGE>  1

                    Remaining Techdyne Common Stock ("Per Share Price"), 
                    which Per Share Price is determined by dividing the 
                    Guaranteed Payment by the Remaining Techdyne Common 
                    Stock.

               Should Seller realize a sum greater than the Guaranteed 
          Amount, then Seller shall keep any and all such excess sums.

               Any additional Techdyne Common Stock that may be issued 
          to Seller by Buyer hereunder shall be registered within 120 days
          of such issuance, and, if not, shall, upon Seller's request, be 
          redeemed by Buyer at the closing price of the Techdyne Common 
          Stock as reported by Nasdaq on the date that redemption is so 
          requested.

     2.   All other terms of the Agreement, other than the modified Buyer's
     Guarantee as provided in this Amendment No. 1, shall remain in full 
     force and effect to the extent as provided in the Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this 
Amendment No. 1 on June 29th, 1998.

                                     SELLER
