               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              August 1, 1997

NOTE 1

The consolidated financial statements of Optek Technology, Inc.
(the "Company") are unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods.  These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 25, 1996.  The results of operations for
the nine months ended August 1, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
the results for the entire fiscal year ending October 31, 1997.

NOTE 2

The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," which requires pro forma disclosure of net
earnings and earnings per share as if the SFAS No. 123 fair value method
had been applied.  The Company continues to apply the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," for the preparation of its basic consolidated
financial statements.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of."  This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain 
identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of an asset
may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future
undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If
such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of
are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs
to sell.  Adoption of SFAS No. 121 has not had a material impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter Ended August 1, 1997 Compared to Third Quarter July 26, 1996

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 were $18.8 million, up
11.5% compared to net sales of $16.8 million for the comparable period
of fiscal 1996.  The increase was the result of higher sales volume in
all product lines with automotive net sales up $1.4 million
or 43.1%, high reliability (aerospace/defense) up $304,000 or 22.2%,
and commercial (office equipment, industrial, medical and communications)
up $213,000 or 1.8%.

Cost of sales was $10.5 million, or 56.1% of net sales, in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $9.5 million, or 56.2% of net sales,
during the comparable period of fiscal 1996.  Higher gross margins
resulting from the increase in net sales was partially off-
set by an increase in certain manufacturing costs related to preparation
for the automotive ramp-up planned for the second half of the year.  This
resulted in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales remaining constant
between the comparable periods of fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996.

Product development and engineering expenses during the third quarter
of fiscal 1997 were $1.2 million, or 6.4% of net sales, compared to
$1.3 million, or 7.6% of net sales, during the third quarter of 1996.
Although expenses were essentially the same, the percentage to net sales
was lower due to the increase in net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997 were $2.3 million, or 12.1% of net sales.  This compares
to $1.9 million, or 11.1% of net sales, during the third quarter of
fiscal 1996.  The increase in expenses is attributable to increased
volume and certain charges related to prepration for anticipated growth
in net sales.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $4.8 million,
or 25.4% of net sales, compared to $4.2 million, or 25.0% of net sales,
for the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  The improvement from fiscal 1996
was a result of the factors discussed above.  The Company is experiencing
increasing pressure from OEMs to reduce costs.  The Company believes
that its ability to remain competitive and maintain its profit margins
at current levels will depend on its ability to develop new products,
to work with its customers to reduce costs on existing products and to
continue controlling its own operating expenses.

Other income was $68,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared
to other expense of $296,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  This
change was primarily due to lower interest expense resulting from repaying
the balance of long term debt during the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 and the investment of excess cash in overnight deposits
beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

Income tax expense during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $1.7
million compared to $352,000 during the same period of fiscal 1996.
Tax expense increased due to the Company having fully utilized its
remaining net operating loss carryforwards during  the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1996.  The Company expects to be on a fully taxed basis 
during all of fiscal 1997.

As a result of the factors discussed above, net earnings for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997 were $3.1 million compared to $3.6 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  

Nine Months Ended August 1, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended July 26, 1996

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 were $53.7 million, up
7.6% compared to net sales of $49.9 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996.  This increase was the result of higher sales volume in
automotive products, in which net sales increased $3.2 million or 35.0%
over the prior year period, and commercial products (office equipment, 
industrial, medical and communications), in which net sales increased 
$673,000 or 1.9% over the prior year period.  High reliability 
(aerospace/defense) was essentially flat compared to the prior year period.

<PAGE>

Cost of sales was $31.4 million, or 58.4% of net sales, in the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $29.1 million, or 58.3% of
net sales, during the comparable period of fiscal 1996.  Higher gross
margins resulting from the increase in net sales was offset by an
increase in certain manufacturing costs related to preparation for the 
automotive ramp-up planned for the second half of the year.  This
resulted in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales remaining
constant between the comparable periods of fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996.

Product development and engineering expenses during the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 were $3.9 million, or 7.2% of net sales, compared
to $3.7 million, or 7.5% of net sales, during the comparable period of the
previous fiscal year.  Although expenses were up slightly, the percentage
of net sales was lower due to the increase in net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first nine months
of fiscal 1997 totaled $6.6 million, or 12.3% of net sales, compared
to $6.2 million, or 12.3% of net sales, during the comparable period
of fiscal 1996.

Operating income for the nine month period was $11.9 million, or 22.2%
of net sales, compared to $10.9 million, or 21.9% of net sales, in the
first nine months of fiscal 1996.  The improvement from fiscal 1996
was the result of the factors discussed above.  The Company is exper-
iencing increasing pressure from OEMs to reduce costs.  The Company
believes that its ability to remain competitive and maintain its
profit margins at current levels will depend on its ability to develop
new products, to work with its customers to reduce costs on existing 
products and to continue controlling its own operating expense.

Other expenses, consisting primarily of interest expense, were $94,000
in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $1.0 million in
the first nine months of fiscal 1996.  This change was primarily
due to lower interest expense resulting from repaying the balance of 
long-term debt during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 and the
investment of excess cash in overnight deposits beginning late in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997.

Income tax expense during the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was
$4.1 million compared to $681,000 during the comparable period of
fiscal 1996.  Tax expense increased as a result of the Company having
fully utilized its remaining net operating loss carryforwards during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.  The Company expects to be on a 
fully taxed basis during all of fiscal 1997.

As a result of the factors discussed above, net earnings for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 were $7.7 million versus $9.2 million in
the first nine months of fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

As reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows,
the Company generated approximately $9.4 million in cash from
operations during the first nine months of fiscal 1997.  The largest
uses of cash during this period were to retire the Company's outstand-
ing debt during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 (approximately $3.4
million) and the payment of estimated federal income taxes (approximately
$3.3 million).

In the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company completely repaid
amounts outstanding under its credit agreement with First Source.  
The credit facility continues to provide a $10.5 million working capital
line.  Amounts drawn on the working capital line bear interest at one-
half percentage point over the reference rate announced from time to
time by the First National Bank of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois and matures
on October 31, 1997.  The credit facility can be renewed for an additional 
one year period at the option of the Company.  The credit facility and
warrants to purchase common stock issued to First Source include
covenants which restrict investments, capital expenditures, additional
debt and prohibit payment of dividends.  The credit facility also contains
certain positive and negative covenants which require the Company, among
other things, to maintain minimum net worth, as defined, and to satisfy
certain financial ratios.  The Company has been in compliance with all
covenants during fiscal 1997.

For the next three years, the Company estimates capital expenditures will be 
approximately $3.0 to $4.0 million annually to support anticipated increases 
in demand for the Company's products.

The Company presently anticipates that it will generate sufficient cash
from operations to meet its obligations, including its capital require-
ments, for the foreseeable future.  Any unanticipated expansion or
contraction of its business or future acquisitions may require the
Company to draw upon its working capital line or obtain other
financing.

New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), 
Earnings per Share, which establishes new standards for computing
and presenting earnings per share.  SFAS 128 is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997 and requires restatement of all prior-period earnings per
share data.  Early application of SFAS 128 is not permitted.  The
Company's adoption of the provisions of SFAS 128 will result in 
the dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on
the Company's income statement.  Diluted earnings per share as
calculated under SFAS 128 is not expected to materially differ
from primary earnings per share amounts previously presented.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"),
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures About 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS 130
and SFAS 131 are effective for financial statements issued for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company does not
expect these standards to have a significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
