              NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
                                (UNAUDITED)


The unaudited financial statements included herein were prepared from
the records of the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles and reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of Management, necessary to provide a fair statement of 
the results of operations and financial position for the interim
periods.  Such financial statements generally conform to the
presentation reflected in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31,
1997.  The current interim period reported herein should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Form 10-KSB subject to independent
audit at the end of the year.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1998.

Note 1 - A summary of significant accounting policies is currently on file
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-KSB.

Note 2 - Income Taxes.  At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating
         loss carryforwards totaling approximately $962,000, that may be 
         offset against future taxable income through 2011 and research and 
         development credits of approximately $60,000 expiring through 2012.

         The Company has fully reserved the tax benefits of these operating 
         losses because the likelihood of realization of the tax benefits 
         cannot be determined.  These carryforwards are subject to review by  
         the Internal Revenue Service.

         Temporary differences between the time of reporting certain items for
         financial and tax reporting purposes, primarily from using different
         methods of reporting depreciation cost and warranty and vacation 
         accruals, are not considered significant by Management of the Company.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company had revenues of 
$1,352,919 a 33.5% decrease from revenues of $2,032,998 recorded for the first
nine months of 1997.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company
had revenues of $359,798, a 40.5% decrease from revenues of $604,809, recorded
for the third quarter of 1997.  The decrease in revenues is primarily a
result of weak economic conditions in Asia, as well as, capital spending
curtailments by large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in North 
America.  These spending curtailments are also directly attributable to the
uncertain business conditions in Asia.  While Management cannot predict a
timetable for a recovery in the Asian markets, it is believed that the weak
business conditions in Asia will extend well into the second half of the year
and possibly into the first half of 1999.  Management is in the process of
refocusing its sales efforts in markets that remain less affected by the
Asian financial situation.

Because of the decrease in total revenues reported during the first nine
months of 1998, the Company posted a loss of $40,285, a 151.3% decrease
from net income of $78,443, reported for the same period in 1997.
Despite a decrease in total revenues reported during the third
quarter of 1998, the Company posted a gain of $3,657, a 78.3% decrease
from net income of $16,825 reported for the same period in 1997.

In anticipation of an extended downturn in sales, Management has continued
to undertake internal measures to reduce fixed costs and to match expense
spending against projected revenues.  The Company will voluntarily enforce
its cost containment program for as long as conditions warrant.

The Company continues to focus on the depaneling application market with
its premium routing equipment, the 18HS PanelMASTER and the 16SI PanelROUTER.
Both of these strategic product groups are continuously analyzed for
improvements and incorporating requirements defined by our customers.
In August, the Company attended the SMTrends Trade Show in Huntsville,
Alabama, and the SMI Trade Show in San Jose, California.  In addition,
marketing efforts have been increased in the European Union and
in Central and South America.  Management has also reemphasized
customer service, and is continuing production process improvements
in an effort to preserve operating margins.

The Company's Current Liabilities as of September 30, 1998, are $612,761,
approximately $102,777 higher than Current Assets of $509,984.  Included
in the Current Liabilities as of September 30, 1998, are $240,000 in notes
which are due December 30, 1998.  As disclosed in the 1997 10-KSB report,
Management is in the process of addressing the Company's debt obligations,
and expects to have this issue resolved well in advance of the due date.
Please see Part II, Note 5, for more information.  Additionally, a $75,000
loan was made from a director of the Company to partially fund the
operating loss incurred to date.

<PAGE>

Cash flow from operating activities was a negative $115,306 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, as compared to a positive $14,363 for the same period
in 1997.  This is directly attributable to reduced sales and a decrease in
Accounts Payable.  The negative operating cash flow had been primarily
funded by the aforementioned loan from a director of the Company, in addition
to a loan from an officer which is payable upon demand with interest
at 2.0 percentage points above the prime rate.  As of September, 30, 1998, the
balance on these loans was approximately $75,000 and $78,609 respectively.

During the third quarter the Company wrote-off assets which were fully
depreciated and no longer in service.  These write-offs included
$109,311 in manufacturing equipment, and $92,587 in furniture and fixtures.

As of October 26, 1998, the Company had an open order backlog of approximately
$304,700, compared to a backlog of $368,000 on October 28, 1997.  The open
order backlog reflects an upturn in business conditions both domestically
and internationally.  However, as mentioned above, business conditions have
continued to adversely impact the Company's open order backlog and remain
unpredictable.

The foregoing discussion does not give any effect to the completion of a sale
of the Company's depaneling and routing business as described in Part II,
Item 5 of this report.  If the proposed transaction is completed, of which
there can be no assurance, the Company's historical business will be
discontinued.

Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this
report are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties,
which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ
materially, from forecasted results.  These risks and uncertainties include,
among other things, product demand and acceptance, market competition, and
risks inherent in the Company's international operations.  These and other
risks are described elsewhere herein and in the Company's other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                      PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

                    OZO Diversified Automation, Inc.



Items 1- 4      Not Applicable.

Item 5          On October 6, 1998 the Company announced that it had reached
                a nonbinding agreement in principle to sell its automation
                and depaneling business to JOT Automation, Inc., the U.S.
                subsidiary of JOT Automation Group Oyj, of Finland.  The
                nature of the proposed transaction will be an asset sale
                between OZO and JOT, as opposed to a common stock purchase
                by JOT from OZO's current shareholders.

                The proposed transaction is currently scheduled to close
                before the end of the year.  It is subject to satisfactory
                completion of due diligence, preparation of definitive
                agreements, and OZO shareholder approval among other
                standard closing conditions.  It is anticiapated that the
                definitive purchase agreement will be signed by November 9,
                1998.  OZO will then seek shareholder approval of the
                agreement.  Assuming shareholder approval is obtained the
                transaction will be finalized on or before December 31, 1998.

                OZO's Board of Directors and Officers have identified certain
                assets that are not for sale.  They will determine if a new
                business is to be established in the public shell, or if the
                proceeds from the proposed transaction will be returned, in
                whole or in part, to the shareholders.  Per the Company's
                corporate bylaws, the current common stock shareholders must
                approve the proposed transaction before it may be completed.
                If the proposed transaction is approved, OZO's Board of
                Directors and Officers will determine the next course of
                action regarding the disposition of the remaining operations.

                As part of the proposed transaction, JOT Automation, Inc. will
                acquire the OZO name and trademark.  The OZO public shell,
                after the completion of the agreement with JOT, will likely
                change its name.  This will be a decision to be considered
                by the Board of Directors (and likely to be a condition of
                the final agreement with JOT).



Item  6          Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

                 a)  Exhibits-none.

                 b)  No Reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter
                     ending September 30, 1998.
