                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

                       FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 1995


Results of Operation

Net sales for the first nine months ended July 31, 1995, were
$41,458,687 compared to $37,818,741 for the same period in 1994.  Sales
for the third quarter ended July 31, 1995, were $14,566,134 compared to
$13,445,883 in 1994.  The increase in sales is primarily due to
increased shipments by the Company's Intercomp division, and to a lesser
degree, increased shipments by the Company's Texarkana division and raw
material price increases which have upwardly impacted the selling price
of the Company's wire and cable products.

On November 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes".  The cumulative effect of this change in accounting
principle increased net earnings by $154,157 or $.06 per share for the
nine months ended July 31, 1995.

Net earnings for the nine months ended July 31, 1995, were $1,120,017 or
$.43 per share compared to net earnings before cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle for the nine months ended July 31, 1994,
of $1,257,139 or $.47 per share.  Net earnings for the third quarter of
1995 were $544,800 or $.21 per share compared to $399,066 or $.15 per
share in 1994.  The third quarter ended July 31, 1995, included other
income from the sale of certain patent rights of $432,000 which
increased after tax net earnings by $217,719 and earnings per share by
$.10.  From time to time, the Company performs Engineering Services for
unrelated parties.  For the nine months ended July 31, 1994, the Company
received income from Engineering Services of $152,011 which increased
after tax earnings by $95,612 and earnings per share by $.04.

Gross margin for the quarter ended July 31, 1995, decreased to 18.7%
from 21.0% during the same quarter of 1994.  For the nine months ended
July 31, 1995, gross margin decreased to 19.5% from 21.8% for the same
period in 1994.  The decrease is primarily due to a shift in product mix
to products which would generally be considered commodities, and a
substantial decrease in demand for large satellite dish cable resulting
from the introduction of the small dish in late 1994.  The uncertainty
in the satellite TV market as to which dish the consumer will install
resulted in lower shipments of all satellite-related cables.

On August 23, 1995, subsequent to the end of the third quarter,
Communication Cable, Inc. sold the assets of its Aerospace Systems
division to Nortech Systems, Inc., headquartered in Wayzata, Minnesota.
The sale of this division will further strengthen the Company's balance
sheet and enable the Company to redeploy the proceeds into its core wire
and cable business.
