                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring 
accruals) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of September 
30, 1995.  The results of operations and cash flows for the six month period 
ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
expected for the full year. In the opinion of Management, the information in 
this interim report for the six months ended September 30, 1995 presents 
fairly the Company's financial position consistent with the Company's 
accounting practices and principles used in interim reports. Accordingly, 
certain items included in these statements are based upon best estimates, 
particularly cost of goods sold.  For the six month periods ended 
September 30, 1995 and 1994 these costs have principally been determined by 
utilizing perpetual inventory records.  The calculation of the actual cost of
goods sold amount is predicated upon a physical inventory taken only at the 
end of each fiscal year. These financial statements, which are unaudited 
(except for the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1995 which is 
audited), are based on certain estimates and are subject to year end audit 
adjustments.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                            OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

Sales increased by approximately $520,000, or 8.7%, for the six months and 
approximately $276,000, or 9.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 
1995 from the comparable six and three month periods in 1994, respectively.  
These increases are the result of continued growth in the commercial and 
industrial connector markets, combined with stabilized military sales.


Gross Profit

Gross profits increased from 22.8% to 24.6% for the six months, and 
22.9% to 24.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 
1995, respectively.  These increases are a result of the Company's 
focus on selling higher margin, value-added products.


Selling, General  & Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 
$65,000, or 4.7%, for the six months and $38,000, or 5.4%, for the three 
months ended September 30, 1995 from the comparable previous six and 
three month periods in 1994.  These decreases are primarily the result 
of reorganizing certain job functions resulting in a reduction in 
personnel costs.


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased approximately $23,000 for the six months and 
$10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, from the previous 
comparable six and three month period in 1994.  These increases are due to 
a higher average amount outstanding each period on the loan to the 
Company's lender, and by an increase in the interest rate for the two 
periods from 10.5% to 12.4% for the six months and 10.9% to 12.3% 
for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company utilized approximately $217,000 for operating activities for 
the six months ended September 30, 1995, principally to repay accounts 
payable and accrued liabilities. The Company received $238,000 in cash 
through financing activities as a result of increased borrowings from the 
Company's lender.  The Company's loan agreement, collateralized by 
substantially all of the Company's assets, provides for 
a line of credit based on the amount of the Company's inventory and accounts 
receivable, but which cannot exceed $2,500,000.  The term of the loan presently 
expires on July 31, 1996 at which time the Company anticipates, but cannot 
guarantee, that it will be renewed or replaced.  The Company's relations 
with its secured lender are satisfactory. The Company believes that its 
current cash position as well as its available credit facility are 
adequate for the foreseeable future.  The amount outstanding under this 
loan was approximately $1,802,000 at September 30, 1995 and 
$1,564,000 at March 31, 1995.
