ITEM 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
        and Results of Operations.

Changes in Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $16.8 million, 
up 2.0% from sales of $16.5 million for the same period of fiscal 
1995.  An increased demand for magnetic sensor  (Hall Effect) products 
related to a new automotive theft deterrent system produced a $1.0 
million increase in automotive sales versus the same quarter in fiscal 
1995.  When compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995 Commercial 
sales were down slightly, by $.2 million, and Hi-Rel sales decreased 
by $.5 million.

Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $9.5 million, 
or 56.2% of net sales versus $9.3 million, or 56.4% in the third quarter 
of 1995.  The performance in cost of sales essentially repeated the 
record performance in the same period of fiscal 1995.  The continued 
strong performance is the result of containment of increases in 
production costs; favorable exchange rates for the Mexican peso; and 
continued efforts to improve production cycle times.

Product development costs in the third quarter of 1996 were $.5 million 
compared to $.2 million in the same period of fiscal 1995.  The increase 
is due to spending for development efforts of MR (magneto resistive) 
devices, used primarily in the automotive industry; and Fiber Optic 
connectors, used in telecommunications. 

Engineering costs in the third quarter of 1996 were $.8 million, 
essentially equal to engineering costs for the same period in the third 
quarter of 1995.

Selling expenses of $1.2 million during the third quarter of 1996 were 
7.0% of sales.  This expense is essentially the same as the same period 
of 1995.

General and administrative expenses of $.7 million, or 4.1% of sales in 
the third quarter of 1996 were slightly lower than the $.8 million, or 
5.0% of sales, in the third quarter of 1995.

Other expenses of $.3 million, or 1.6% of sales, for the third quarter 
of 1996 were down from $.7 million, or 4.4% of sales, for the third 
quarter of 1995.  This decrease in expense is due primarily to lower 
interest expense due to reductions in long term debt.

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 1996 was $.4 million or 2.1% 
of sales compared to $.1 million or .6% of sales for the third quarter 
of 1995.  The increase in the income tax expense is due to the near term 
full utilization of NOL carry forward tax benefits.  Optek will attain 
a fully taxable status in fiscal 1997.  

As a result, net earnings for the third quarter of 1996 was $3.6 million, 
or $0.46 per share, compared to the third quarter 1995 net earnings of 
$3.5 million, or $0.49 per share.
<PAGE>

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were $49.9 million, 
up 10.1% from sales of $45.3 million for the same period of fiscal 1995.  
The year-to-year increase in sales was due to an increased demand for 
magnetic sensor  (Hall Effect) products related to a new automotive 
theft deterrent system and chips used in the production of computer 
modems.  When compared to the same period of fiscal 1995, Commercial 
sales increased by $2.5 million, Automotive sales increased by $2.5 
million, and Hi-Rel sales were down slightly, decreasing by $.4
million.

Cost of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 was $29.1 
million, or 58.3% of net sales, versus $28.0 million, or 61.8% of 
net sales, for the same period of 1995.  The improved performance in 
cost of sales is primarily the result of containment of increases in 
production costs while increasing the level of sales; favorable 
exchange rates for the Mexican peso; and continued efforts to improve 
production cycle times.

Product development costs for the first nine months of 1996 were 
$1.0 million compared to $.4 million in the same period of fiscal 1995.  
The increase is due to spending for development efforts of MR (magneto 
resistive) devices, used primarily in the automotive industry; and 
Fiber Optic connectors, used in telecommunications. 

Engineering costs for the first nine months of 1996 were $2.7 million 
compared to $2.4 million for the same period of 1995.  Most of the 
year-to-year increase is due to expenditures for the refurbishment 
of engineering offices and lab areas. 

Selling expenses of $3.8 million during the first nine months of 1996 
were 7.7% of sales compared to $3.2 million, or 7.0% of sales for the 
same period in fiscal 1995. The change is due to higher commissions 
related to the increase in sales volume and expenditures made during 
the second quarter to upgrade and refurbish the sales and customer 
service office area.

General and administrative expenses of $2.3 million, or 4.7% of sales 
for the first nine months of 1996 compares with $2.2 million, or 4.9% 
of sales, in the first nine months of 1995.

Other expenses of $1.0 million, or 2.0% of sales, for the first nine 
months of 1996 were down from $2.7 million, or 5.9% of sales, for the 
first nine month of 1995.  This decrease in expense is due primarily 
to lower interest expense resulting from the reduction of long term debt.

Income tax expense for the first nine months of 1996 was $.7 million 
or 1.4% of sales compared to $.1 million or .3% of sales for the first 
nine months of 1995.  The increase in the income tax expense is due to 
the near term full utilization of NOL carry forward tax benefits.  Optek 
will attain a fully taxable status in fiscal 1997.

As a result, net earnings for the first nine months of 1996 was 
$9.2 million, or $1.21 per share, compared to the first nine months of 
1995 net earnings of $6.4 million or $0.91 per share.

Liquidity and Capital resources

As reflected in the Company's consolidated cash flows, Optek generated 
approximately $10.2 million in cash from operations for the first nine 
months of fiscal year 1996 versus $9.1 million in the same period of 
fiscal 1995.  The largest single use of cash continues to be the 
reduction of the Company's outstanding debt, $9.6 million in the first 
nine months of the year.  The year to year improvement in cash flows was 
a direct result of the factors discussed under the heading of Changes in 
Results of Operations.

A credit agreement with a financial institution at January 20, 1994 
provided a $38.8 million line of credit consisting of a $10.5 million 
working capital line and a $28.3 million revolving term loan.  Amounts 
drawn on the working capital line bear interest at 1 1/2% over the 
reference rate announced from time to time by the First National Bank 
of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois and mature on October 31, 1996, with two 
one year extensions if no default exists under the loan documents at 
maturity.  The Company is currently in compliance with all financial
and other covenants contained in its loan documents.

The revolving credit line was scheduled to reduce to $20,650,000 as 
of November 1, 1995, with additional reductions in the revolving line 
to occur in the event that the Company required less than the available 
line for sixty days preceding that scheduled reduction date.  On 
November 1, 1995, the commitment on the revolving line was reduced 
to approximately $8,000,000 through operation of these provisions.  The 
final scheduled reduction in the revolving line of $8,000,000 is to 
occur October 31, 1998.

At July 26, 1996, the Company's total remaining debt under these
facilities was $6,353,000.  Therefore, the Company anticipates that
the revolving line will terminate at November 1, 1996.

Although the Company's ability to fund research and development and 
capital expenditures is constrained by the terms of the loan documents, 
management believes that its working relationship with its lender is 
good and that these facilities will be adequate to finance the Company's 
needs for the foreseeable future.
