- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR,
or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed period.
VECTRA Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") is unable to complete its Form 10-Q
and required financial statements at this time without unreasonable effort or
expense because of delays resulting from the Company's recent Chapter 11
bankruptcy filing, sale of substantially all of its assets and delay in the
bankruptcy court's appointment of the Company's audit firm.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such
shorter) period that the registrant was required to file such report(s)
been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company expects a significant decrease in the results of operations as a
direct result of the Company, in January 1997, voluntarily placing a hold on the
fabrication activities associated with its NUHOMS-Registered Trademark- and
UX-30 products in response to the NRC's Demand for Information letter.
Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from fabrication
activities associated with its NUHOMS-Registered Trademark- and UX-30 products.
Additionally, the Company expects a significant reduction, in accordance with
FAS 121, to the value of long-lived assets reflected on the Company's balance
sheet, which will significantly reduce the results of operations, long-lived
assets and equity.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company estimates that it will report a Net
Loss of approximately $3.7 million for the third quarter of 1997.
