                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



 1.   These interim  Consolidated Condensed  Financial Statements  should be
      read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes 
      included in the Company's April 30, 1996 Annual Report and Form 10-K.

 2.   In the opinion  of the  Company, the accompanying  unaudited condensed
      consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting 
      only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of  
      the statements contained herein.

 3.   These consolidated  statements are  presented in  accordance  with the
      requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently may not include all 
      disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting   
      princples normally made in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K.

 4.   In January 1997, the Company invested an additional $1,000,000 in cash
      in its 70% owned subsidiary, Circuit Systems (India) Limited (``CSIL''), 
      located in Gandhinagar, India.  CSIL then acquired the pcb manufacturing 
      facility, leasehold land and machinery and equipment of the electronics 
      division of Stovec Industries Limited, also located in Gandhinagar,India, 
      for approximately $1,400,000.  The acquisition will be accounted for as 
      a purchase and the purchase price will be allocated to property, plant, 
      and equipment based upon appraisals, relevant facts, etc. ascertained 
      during the fourth quarter.

      The Company's investment in CSIL, consisting of approximately $450,000 
      of machinery and equipment and $1,000,000 in cash are currently recorded 
      under Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Assets, respectively.

      The results of operations of CSIL  for the quarter and nine months ended
      January 31, 1997 are immaterial.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Note:   To the extent  any statements in this Form 10-Q  may be deemed to  be
 forwardlooking, such statements  should be evaluated  in the  context of  the
 risks and uncertainties inherent in  the Company's business, including  those
 risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-
 K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996.

 The net  sales  for the  quarter  ended  January 31,  1997  were  $16,624,000
 decreasing by 3.3%  from $17,189,000  for the same  quarter last  year.   The
 decrease in sales is primarily due to a general decrease in business activity
 within the existing customer base.    Net sales to three customers  accounted
 for approximately 59% of  net sales for the  quarter ended January 31,  1997,
 compared to the same period last year in which three customers accounted  for
 approximately 47%  of net  sales.    The  gross profit  for the  quarter  was
 $2,828,000 or 17.0%  of net  sales, compared to  $2,802,000 or  16.3% of  net
 sales for the same quarter last year.  The higher gross profit is  attributed
 to a change in product mix, and slightly lower material and labor expenses as
 a percentage of sales.

 The net  sales for  nine  months ended  January  31, 1997  were  $49,359,000,
 decreasing by 5.4%  from $52,172,000 for  the same period  last year.     Net
 sales to three customers  accounted for approximately   56% of net sales  for
 the nine months  ended January  31, 1997, compared  to the  same period  last
 year, in which three customers accounted for approximately 38% of net  sales.
 The sales decline is attributed to the general slowdown in the first  quarter
 within the industry.   The gross profit for the nine months ended January 31,
 1997, was $6,859,000 or 13.9% of  net sales, compared to $8,812,000 or  16.9%
 of net sales for the same period in the  prior year.  The lower gross  profit
 is attributed to a reduction in sales throughout the year, continued pressure
 on pricing, a change  in product mix and  the overall increase in  production
 equipment/capacity with the completion of the manufacturing facility at  2400
 E. Lunt Avenue.

 Sales and marketing and administrative expenses for the three and nine months
 ended January 31, 1997, were $1,483,000  or 8.9% of net sales and  $4,444,000
 or 9.0% of net sales,  respectively, compared to $1,479,000  or  8.6% of  net
 sales and $3,977,000 or 7.6% of net sales, respectively, for the same periods
 last year.  The increase in the expenses as a percentage of net sales is  due
 to  increases  in  salaries,   professional  services,  commissions   (higher
 commissionable sales base) and bad debt expense.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Other deductions-net for the  three and nine months  ended January 31,  1997,
 were $136,000 and $322,000, respectively,  compared to $85,000 and  $237,000,
 respectively, for the  same periods in  the prior year.   Comparison for  the
 three months ended January 31, 1997 to the same period last year:   interest
 expense declined to $405,000 from $414,000, equity in the net earnings of  the
 unconsolidated affiliate,  SigmaTron, declined  to  $150,000  from  $167,000,
 rental income decline to $91,000 from $105,000 and sundry and other income 
 decreased to $27,000 from $56,000.     Comparison for the  nine months  ended 
 January  31, 1997, to the same period last year:  interest expense increased 
 to  $1,166,000 from $1,123,000 (due to increased borrowings), equity in the 
 net earnings  of the unconsolidated affiliate, SigmaTron, increased to 
 $544,000 from  $354,000 (due to SigmaTron's  sales growth and  related net 
 earnings  for the  current year), and rental income decreased to $248,000 
 from $440,000 (due to the non-rental of the 2400 and 2450 E. Lunt Avenue 
 locations).

 The effective income tax rate for the  nine months ended January 31, 1997  is
 38.4% compared to 39.0% for the same period in prior year.

 The net earnings and earnings per share  for the three and nine months  ended
 January 31, 1997 were $746,000 or $.14 and $1,289,000 or $.24,  respectively,
 compared to $755,000 or  $.14 and $2,805,000 or  $.52, respectively, for  the
 same periods in the prior year.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 The Company's financial  requirements were  met through  cash generated  from
 operations and increased borrowings.

 For the nine months ended January 31, 1997, payments on long-term obligations
 of $3,152,000, capital expenditures  of $2,353,000, an additional  investment
 of $1,000,000 in CSIL and the increase in inventories of $746,000 were funded
 by operating  income,  proceeds  from long-term  obligations  of  $1,500,000,
 increase in accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities of  $1,292,000, and  a
 decrease in accounts receivable of $495,000.

 In January 1997, the Company invested an additional $1,000,000 in cash in its
 70% owned subsidiary, CSIL located in Gandhinagar, India. CSIL then  acquired
 the pcb manufacturing facility, leasehold land and machinery and equipment of
 the electronics  division  of  Stovec Industries  Limited,  also  located  in
 Gandhinagar, India, for approximately $1,400,000.

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 During February 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company
 to repurchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock and to  sell
 up to 68,000 shares of the common stock of its investment in SigmaTron.   
 Through February  28, 1997, the Company repurchased  48,900 shares of  its 
 stock for  approximately $226,000 and  sold  68,000  shares of  SigmaTron's  
 stock  for  approximately $1,475,000.

 The Company has purchase commitments as  of January 31,1997 of  approximately
 $1,800,000 for future deliveries of machinery and equipment, and $100,000 for
 building improvements  at the  2400 E.  Lunt Avenue  location.   The  Company
 intends  to  finance  such   purchases  through  collateralized   borrowings,
 installment loans and existing cash flow.

 The Company's  backlog  at  January 31,  1997  is  approximately  $11,678,000
 compared to  $11,084,000 at  January 31,  1996.   Backlog  represents  orders
 scheduled to be shipped with in  approximately six months, but most of  which
 is shipped  in four  months or  less.     The reliability  of backlog  as  an
 indicator of future sales varies substantially  with the make-up of  customer
 orders and the Company's scheduled production and delivery dates.
