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

          Changes in Results of Operations

          Net  sales  for the second quarter of fiscal 1996  were
          $18.1 million, up 15.8% from sales of $15.6 million for
          the  same  period  of fiscal 1995.  The  year  to  year
          increase  in sales occurred due to an increased  demand
          for: magnetic sensor (Hall Effect) products, which  are
          related  to  a  new automotive theft deterrent  system;
          chips  used  in  the  production  of  computer  modems;
          commercial     discrete    devices    and    commercial
          optoelectronic  assemblies.  Over the  same  period  in
          fiscal   1995  Commercial   sales  increased  by   $1.5
          million, Automotive sales increased by $.7 million  and
          Hi-Rel sales increased by $.3 million.
          
          Cost  of sales in the second quarter of 1996 was  $10.3
          million, or 57.3% of net sales versus $9.6 million,  or
          61.6%  in  the second quarter of 1995.  The improvement
          resulted   from  increased  sales  volume   without   a
          corresponding significant increase in the  fixed  costs
          of  operations; favorable exchange rates in Mexico  and
          continued efforts to improve manufacturing cycle  times
          and to hold costs at or below budgeted levels.
          
          Product  development and engineering  expenses  in  the
          second  quarter of 1996 were $1.3 million, or  7.2%  of
          sales,  versus $1.0 million, or 6.1% of sales,  in  the
          second quarter of 1995.  The increase from 1995 to 1996
          is  primarily  the  result  of  increased  spending  to
          support new product development programs.
          
          Selling  expenses of $1.3 million in the second quarter
          of  1996 were 7.4% of sales.  This compares to $1.0 mil
          lion,  or 6.7% of sales in the second quarter of  1995.
          This  change  is  due to increased sales  activity  and
          expenditures made in the second quarter to upgrade  and
          refurbish  the  office  area  for  sales  and  customer
          service.
          
          General and administrative expenses of $.8 million,  or
          4.6% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were
          at  essentially  the same level as the  second  quarter
          1995 expenses.
          
          Other  expenses of $.3 million, or 1.7% of sales,  were
          down  during the second quarter of 1996.  This compares
          to  $1.1 million, or 7.0% of sales, in the same  period
          of  1995.   The  decrease in expense was primarily  the
          result   of  lower  interest  expense  resulting   from
          reduction of long-term debt.
          
          As  a result, net income for the second quarter of 1996
          was  $3.6 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to  the
          second quarter 1995 profit of $2.0 million, or $.29 per
          share.
          
          Net  sales for the first six months of fiscal 1996 were
          $33.1 million, up 14.8% from sales of $28.8 million for
          the  same  period  of fiscal 1995.  The  year  to  year
          increase  in  sales  was  due  to  higher  demand  for:
          magnetic  sensor  (Hall  Effect)  products,  which  are
          related  to  a  new automotive theft deterrent  system;
          chips  used  in the production of computer modems;  and
          commercial  optoelectronic assemblies.  Over  the  same
          period  in  fiscal 1995 Commercial sales  increased  by
          $2.6   million,  Automotive  sales  increased  by  $1.6
          million and Hi-Rel sales increased by $.1 million.
          
          Cost of sales in the first six months of 1996 was $19.5
          million, or 59.0% of net sales versus $18.4 million, or
          63.9% in the first six months of 1995.  The improvement
          resulted   from  increased  sales  volume   without   a
          substantial  corresponding increase in the fixed  costs
          of  operations; favorable exchange rates in Mexico  and
          continued efforts to improve manufacturing cycle  times
          and to hold costs at or below budgeted levels.
          
          Product  development and engineering  expenses  in  the
          first six months of 1996 were $2.5 million, or 7.4%  of
          sales,  versus $1.8 million, or 6.2% of sales,  in  the
          first  six months of 1995.  The increase from  1995  to
          1996  is primarily the result of increased spending  to
          support new product development programs.
          
          Selling  expenses  of $2.6 million  in  the  first  six
          months of 1996 were 8.0% of sales.  This compares to  $
          2.0  million, or 7.0% of sales in the first six  months
          of  1995.   This  change  is  due  to  increased  sales
          activity and expenditures made in the second quarter to
          upgrade  and  refurbish the office area for  sales  and
          customer service.
          
          General and administrative expenses of $1.7 million, or
          5.0%  of  sales in the first six months of fiscal  1996
          compares  with $1.4 million, or 4.9% of  sales  in  the
          first six months of 1995.
          
          Other  expenses of $.7 million, or 2.2% of sales,  were
          down  during  the  first  six  months  of  1996.   This
          compares to $1.9 million, or 6.9% of sales, in the same
          period  of  1995. The decrease in expense was primarily
          the result of lower interest expense resulting from the
          reduction of long-term debt.
          
          As  a  result, net income for the first six  months  of
          1996  was  $5.7 million or $0.75 per share compared  to
          the first six months of 1995 profit of  $2.9 million or
          $.42 per share.
          
          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          
          As  reflected in the Company's consolidated cash flows,
          Optek generated approximately $6.0 million in cash from
          operations in the first six months of fiscal year 1996.
          The  largest  single use of cash continues  to  be  the
          reduction   of   the   Company's   outstanding    debt,
          approximately $5.7 million in the first six  months  of
          this  year.   Operating cash flows for  the  first  six
          months  of  fiscal  year 1995 were  approximately  $5.0
          million.   The  year-to-year improvement was  a  direct
          result of the factors discussed above 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  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.
          
          The   Company  is  currently  in  compliance  with  the
          financial  and other covenants contained  in  its  loan
          documents.   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.
          
          Income Taxes
          
          The  Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No.
          109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes," during  the  first
          quarter  of  1994 and the adoption was not material  to
          the consolidated financial statements.
