in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules 
and regulations.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures which are

suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction 
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in 
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1994.

      In the opinion of the management, these unaudited statements contain all

indicative of those that may be expected for the full year.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Working capital increased by $2.5 million to $41.0 million at September 
30, 1994 from $38.5 million at June 30, 1994, while the current ratio 
increased to 4.2 to 1.0 from 3.9 to 1.0.  During the same period, cash and 
cash equivalents increased by $1.0 million to $22.3 million from $21.3 
million.  The increase was primarily due to $1.9 million in cash provided by 
operating activities and $.3 million in proceeds from issuance of common 
stock, offset by $1.2 million used for capital expenditures.  At September 30, 
1994, the Company had $7.0 million of unused credit available under its bank 
line of credit.

      The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents, funds generated 
from operations and funds available under its bank line of credit will be 
sufficient to satisfy working capital and capital equipment requirements over 
the near term.  At September 30, 1994, the Company had no material outstanding 
commitments to purchase capital equipment.

Results of Operations

	Net sales increased in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 by 1% to $24.2 
million from $24.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  Telecom 
Solutions net sales for the same periods were $14.4 million compared to $15.2 
million, respectively, as higher IDST sales were more than offset by lower 
synchronization and analog sales.  IDST sales continue to be highly dependent 
on large customer orders and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to 
quarter.  While overall synchronization sales were lower in the first quarter 
of fiscal 1995, new synchronization products became generally available and 
sales have increased from prior quarters.  The analog product line is mature 
and sales are expected to decline substantially during fiscal 1995.  Linfinity 
Microelectronics Inc. (LMI) net sales increased in the first quarter of fiscal 
1995 by 11% to $9.8 million from $8.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 
1994 principally due to higher unit volume which more than offset a shift in 
sales to lower priced products.

      The gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 45% 
in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to 43% in the corresponding 
period of fiscal 1994.  The higher gross profit margin percentage resulted 
primarily from increased unit volume and other manufacturing efficiencies at 
LMI which offset a shift to lower margin products at Telecom Solutions.  
Future gross profit margins will largely depend on product mix and 
manufacturing efficiencies.

      Research and development expense was $3.0 million (or approximately 12% 
of sales) in the first quarter of both fiscal 1995 and 1994 as the Company 
continues its emphasis on new product development at both Telecom Solutions 
and LMI.

      Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 8% to $5.4 
million (or 22% of sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 from $5.0 
million (or 21% of sales) in the corresponding period of fiscal 1994.  The 
increase was due to higher selling expenses and increased general and 
administrative costs.

      The Company's effective tax rate was 18% in the first quarter of fiscal 
1995 compared to 28% in the corresponding period of fiscal 1994 and 19% for 
all of fiscal 1994.  The effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 is expected to be 
lower than the combined federal and state tax rate primarily due to an 
anticipated reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based 
on the Company's assessment of future realizability of such assets, and to the 
anticipated benefit of having a portion of the Company's income taxed at lower 
rates in Puerto Rico.

      As a result of the above factors, net earnings in the first quarter of 
fiscal 1995 increased to $2.0 million, or $.13 per share, compared to $1.7 
million, or $.11 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

      Future Company operating results will largely depend upon the Company's 
ability to implement new technologies and products, changes in product mix and 
manufacturing efficiencies.  Future Telecom Solutions operating results will 
also continue to be highly dependent on receipt of orders during any 
particular fiscal period.  Future LMI operating results will also be subject 
to the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry.

      The Company's future earnings and stock price may be subject to 
significant volatility.  Any shortfall in sales or earnings from levels 
expected by securities analysts and investors could have an immediate and 
significant adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock.
