This report amends the current report on Form 8-K dated
March 12, 1996 (the "Form 8-K") of Charter Power Systems, Inc.
(the "Company"). This report contains a description of further
developments under Item 2 of the Form 8-K and the financial
statements and pro forma financial information required to be
provided under Item 7 of the Form 8-K. Other than as set forth
herein, there has been no change in the information set forth in
the Form 8-K.
Item 2.
Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of February 23,
1996 (the "Purchase Agreement"), on March 12, 1996, International
Power Systems, Inc., an Arizona corporation and an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant ("Purchaser"), acquired
from Burr-Brown Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "Seller"), (i) 1,044,418 shares of
the common stock (the "Common Stock") of Power Convertibles
Corporation, an Arizona corporation ("PCC"), which the Seller has
represented to be at least 79% of the Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis (although, based on the schedules to the Purchase
Agreement, such shares represent 84.6% of the outstanding Common
Stock) and (ii) 100% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock
and Series C Preferred Stock of PCC (collectively, the "Preferred
Stock"). In addition, Purchaser acquired or repaid approximately
$5.2 million of indebtedness of PCC. The aggregate consideration
paid by Purchaser was approximately $15.4 million, subject to
certain adjustments, of which $1.0 million was retained in escrow
to fund indemnification claims under the Purchase Agreement. The
purchase price was determined by (i) the liquidation value and
accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock, (ii) the face value of
the indebtedness that was acquired or repaid and (iii) negotia-
tion with Seller as to the common stock.
The source of funds for the acquisition was advances under the
registrant's existing credit facility with NationsBank, N.A.,
National Westminster Bank, NJ and CoreStates Bank, N.A. PCC is
engaged in the business of designing and manufacturing DC to DC
converters and the Purchaser intends to cause PCC to continue
using its assets in such business.
On April 26, 1996, subsequent to the original filing of the
Form 8-K, the Company acquired 190,000 shares of PCC common stock
from the former chief executive officer of PCC for $1,141,900,
which together with shares previously acquired by the Company
represents in excess of 99.6% of the outstanding PCC common
stock. On April 29, 1996 the Company made offers to purchase the
remaining shares of PCC common stock and shares of PCC common
stock covered by stock options for $6.01 per share or option,
which if all offers are accepted will result in payments of an
aggregate of approximately $465,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
Power Convertibles Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Power Convertibles Corporation (an Arizona corporation and a
majority owned subsidiary of Burr-Brown Corporation) and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Power
Convertibles Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

POWER CONVERTIBLES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
(1) ORGANIZATION:
Power Convertibles Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company), a
majority owned subsidiary of Burr-Brown Corporation, manufactures
electronic components and related systems for use in electronic
products.
During 1992, the Company established a European and Mexican
subsidiary, Power Convertibles Corporation Ireland, Ltd. (PCC Ireland)
and Power Convertibles Corporation Mexico (PCC Mexico).
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation and Preparation of Financial
Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues upon shipment.
Foreign Currency Translation
Financial information relating to the Company's foreign subsidiaries
is recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The loss resulting
from the translation of the subsidiaries' financial statements has
been included as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for 1994 have been reclassified to conform with 1995
presentation.
<PAGE>
-2-
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, utilizing the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the
respective asset. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided
using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of
the property or the term of the lease. The estimated useful lives of
the property and equipment are as follows:
Shop equipment 7 years
Office equipment 7 years
Electronic equipment 7 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Automotive 5 years
Library 5 years
Income Taxes
SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires the adoption of the
"liability" method for providing deferred taxes. Deferred income
taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of
accounting transactions for tax and financial reporting purposes.

(7) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Preferred Stock
The Series A preferred stock is 10%, noncumulative, voting, and
nonconvertible. The Company may redeem the Series A preferred stock
for a redemption price equal to the price per share ($10) at which
such shares were issued plus unpaid dividends, if any. On December 6,
1995, the Board of Directors declared a dividend on the Series A
preferred stock in the amount of $1 per share.
<PAGE>
-5-
The Series B preferred stock is noncumulative and nonvoting. The
Company may redeem the Series B preferred stock for a redemption price
equal to the price per share at which such shares were originally
issued. Each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible at any
time into ten shares of the Company's common stock at the stock-
holder's option. In accordance with the terms of the issue, the
conversion rate is subject to adjustment based upon changes in the
number of outstanding common shares of the Company. All shares of
Series B preferred stock issued have been converted to common stock.
The Series C preferred stock is 10% cumulative, nonvoting and non-
convertible. Dividends not declared on this preferred stock accumu-
late, along with interest on unpaid dividends, at 12% per annum
compounded quarterly, until such time that the dividends and interest
are paid. The Company may redeem at any time the Series C preferred
stock for its liquidation price equal to the price per share at which
such shares were issued plus unpaid dividends and interest thereon to
the date of redemption. On December 6, 1995, the Board of Directors
of the Company declared the cumulative dividends and interest on the
Series C stock.
Cumulative dividends accrued totaled $113,070 and $565,895 for
dividends declared in 1995 and 1994, respectively. In addition,
accrued interest on dividends declared in 1994 totaled $249,852 and is
reflected as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations. Accrued interest on dividends declared in
1995 was not significant. No dividend payments were made in 1995 or
1994.
Stock and Plans
On October 3, 1984, the Company entered into a stock option agreement
with Burr-Brown which was amended in 1987. The amended agreement
allowed Burr-Brown to purchase additional shares of Series B preferred
stock, over a five-year period, at a price to be determined by a five-
factor formula at the time the option is exercised. Series B preferred
stock is convertible to common stock in a ratio of 1 for 10. During
1989, Burr-Brown exercised their final option under the agreement and
increased their common stock ownership to 76%. The Series B preferred
stock was issued for no cash consideration as a result of the formula
determination. In 1990, Burr-Brown acquired additional shares of common
stock to bring their ownership percentage to 79%. Presently, Burr-Brown
holds approximately 85% of the shares outstanding.
The Company has a restricted stock purchase plan for officers of the
Company. The board of directors determines the number of shares of
common stock to be offered pursuant to this plan. Each officer who
purchases stock under this plan is required to enter into a restricted
stock purchase agreement which, among other restrictions, gives the
Company the right to purchase its stock at a predetermined formula
price in the event employment with the Company is terminated.

In addition, the agreement restricts the transferability of the stock
in that the stock cannot be disposed of without first offering it to
the Company. The purchase price of the stock by the Company will be no
less than the cost of the stock to the officer plus 9% per annum.
However, the price payable for any stock which is "vested" shall be
equal to a formula price based upon the value of the Company deter-
mined by reference to its net worth, sales, profitability, total net
assets, and the trend of sales, if such value is greater than the
officer's cost plus the 9% annual return. The officer's stock will
vest 20% each year of employment commencing with the second anniver-
sary date following the date of purchase. As of December 31, 1995 and
1994, a total of 190,000 and 240,000 shares of common stock, respec-
tively, had been purchased by officers of the Company pursuant to this
plan.
In addition, the Company has commitments to certain employees, mainly
officers, of the Company allowing for the purchase of 139,100 shares
of the Company's common stock. At December 31, 1995, none had been
exercised.
The Company has an incentive stock option plan that provides for the
granting of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock
to employees other than officers and directors. The option price is
set at the fair value of the stock on the date of the grant of the
option (110% of fair value for an option granted to any person owning
more than 10% of the voting stock of the Company). All options granted
are exercisable at any time within ten years from the date of the
grant (five years for an option granted to a person owning more than
10% of the Company's voting stock). In case of termination of
employment, options not yet exercised are subject to the risk of
forfeiture. All employees who are granted options to purchase stock
are required to enter into the aforementioned restricted stock
purchase agreement, covering all such stock to be acquired, which
allows the Company to repurchase the stock at a price specified by the
agreement. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were 128,150 and
137,900 stock options granted and 68,400 and 135,820 options
outstanding ranging from $.75 to $2.50 per share.
(8) EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Earnings per common and common equivalent share for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding and the effect of shares issuable
under stock options based on the treasury stock method. Fully diluted
earnings per share reflects dilution related to stock options due to
the use of the market price at the end of the period, when higher than
the average price for the period, and the convertible debt further
discussed in Note 9 and is not significantly different than primary
earnings per share.
<PAGE>

As the Company's common stock is not publicly traded, share prices are
calculated on an annual basis and are based on a specified formula
contained in agreement between and amount stockholders which derives
the total value of the Company as of the end of the most recent
calendar year, taking into consideration sales for the previous two
calendar years and total assets and net income for the previous
calendar year.
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares were as follows:
1995 1994
---- ----
Primary 1,375,554 1,386,099
Fully diluted 1,509,350 1,389,048
Share price - average $5.43 $5.16
Share price - year end $6.01 $5.43
