ASTREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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
June 30, 1995.  The results of operations and cash flows for the three month
period ended June 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 three months ended June 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 three month periods ended
June 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.

ASTREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Revenues

Sales increased by approximately $244,000 or 8.2%, for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 from the comparable three month period in fiscal 1995. This
increase is the result of continued growth in the commercial and industrial
connector markets.


Gross Margin

Gross margins increased from 22.7% to 24.4% for the three months ended
June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively. This 1.7% increase is a result of
the Company's efforts on improving its margins as well as its focus on
selling higher margin, value-added products.


Selling, General  & Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $27,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 from the comparable three month
period ended June 30, 1994. This decrease is primarily the result of
reorganizing certain job functions resulting in a reduction in personnel
costs.


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased approximately $12,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1995, from the previous comparable three month period in fiscal
1995. This increase is 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 10.25% to 12.50% for the three months ended
June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

ASTREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company utilized approximately $66,000 for operating activities for the
three months ended June 30, 1995, principally to repay accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, offset by a decrease in inventory of approximately
$72,000. The Company received $80,000 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 $1,644,000 at June 30, 1995 and $1,564,000
at March 31, 1995.
