           Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

1. Financial Presentation:

    The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of 
management, reflect all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of 
results for such periods.  The results of operations for any interim 
period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

    The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth
in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 1994 MATEC    
Corporation and Subsidiaries Annual Report which is incorporated by    
reference in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
        

2. Inventories:

                                                 4/2/95     12/31/94

                                                =======      =======

    Inventories of $2,587,000 in 1995 and $2,752,000 in 1994 are 
determined by the LIFO method.

3. Receivables, net:

    Receivables, net of allowances, consist of the following (in 
thousands):
                                                  4/2/95     12/31/94

4. Income Taxes:

    The Company's estimated effective tax rate for 1995 is 38% compared 
to 34% in 1994.  The lower rate in 1994 is primarily due to the limited  
state tax benefit of losses.

5. Subsequent Event:

    On April 12, 1995, the Company obtained $2 million in term debt 
financing from a financial institution.  Part of the proceeds of the note 
were used to payoff the $1,449,000 outstanding balance under the 
Company's $2 million line of credit arrangement.  The remaining proceeds 
will be used for general corporate purposes.  

    The note is due June 30, 2000 with interest at 10% payable quarterly 
and is secured by all the Company's assets, except for real estate, 
marketable equity securities, and certain specific equipment.  The note 
agreement includes covenants covering debt to equity and interest expense 
ratios and restrictions as to the amount of total debt, dividends and 
capital stock repurchases.  Under the note agreement, the lender will 
subordinate its security interest for up to $4 million in debt, with  
corresponding increases in interest rates based on the subordination 
amounts.

    As part of the debt financing agreement, the Company issued the 
lender transferable common stock warrants to purchase 85,000 shares of 
the Company's common stock at $4.75 per share.  The warrants expire on 
June 30, 2000.

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


Financial Condition
- - - - - - -------------------
     Cash and cash equivalents increased $25,000 during the three months 
ended April 2, 1995.  The Company also borrowed $1,158,000 under its 
$2,000,000 line of credit arrangement.  The main uses of the proceeds 
from the short-term borrowings were operations ($929,000) and capital 
expenditures ($415,000).  A reduction in accounts payable of $1,356,000 
offset in part by a $198,000 reduction in trade accounts receivable 
accounted for the main use of cash for operations.
          
     The Company spent $415,000 on capital expenditures during the three 
months ended April 2, 1995.  Machinery and equipment additions in the 
steel cable segment ($338,000) accounted for the majority of these 
expenditures.  These additions are geared toward adding new and upgrading 
existing production capabilities and processes within this segment.

     On April 12, 1995, the Company obtained $2 million of term debt due 
on June 30, 2000 and paid off the outstanding balance ($1,449,000) under 
its $2 million line of credit arrangement.  Management believes that 
based on its $1 million line of credit arrangement, the $2 million term 
debt noted above, the current working capital, and the expected cash 
flows from operations its resources are sufficient to meet its financial 
needs in 1995 including a remaining capital expenditures budget of 
$1,285,000. 


Results of Operations
- - - - - - ---------------------
    Net sales for the quarter ended April 2, 1995 increased $633,000 
(11%) over the comparable period in 1994.  The electronics and 
instruments segments reported sales increases of $641,000 (32%) and 
$166,000 (14%), respectively, over last year, offset in part by a 
$174,000 (7%) sales reduction in the steel cable segment. 

  Electronics
  -----------  
    All product lines reported significant sales gains over the first 
quarter of 1994.  A majority of the sales increase was attributable to 
higher sales to both OEM and contract manufacturers in the 
telecommunications market and to the distributor markets.

  Instruments
  -----------
    During the quarter ended, sales in all three product areas increased 
over 1994.  Sales to the non-destructive testing/evaluation market 
generated the majority of the sales increase as a result of higher sales 
of custom test systems for high pressure gas cylinders.




                                   -8-
 
<PAGE>
  Steel Cable
  -----------
    While overall sales to most markets remained level with or increased 
slightly over 1994, the sales decline from 1994 was mainly attributable 
to significantly lower sales of assembly products to the fitness 
equipment market.  
                                   
Gross Profit
- - - - - - ------------     
    During the quarter ended April 2, 1995, gross profit increased 14% 
over 1994 and the overall gross profit percentage increased from 28% in 
1994 to 29% in 1995.  The electronics segment reported an increase in its 
gross profit percentage, partially offset by a lower overall margin in 
the instruments segment.  During these periods, the gross profit 
percentage remained equal in the steel cable segment.  
          
    The 9% increase in the gross profit percentage in the electronics 
segment was mainly due to the favorable effects of allocating the fixed 
overhead expenses over the increased sales level, increased sales of 
internally manufactured products which produce a higher margin than that 
from the resale of imported products and product yield improvements.  The 
overall margin rate in the instrument segment declined 6% from 1994.  
Higher occupancy costs due to increased space requirements of the segment 
and increased personnel costs due to additional employees were the main 
factors contributing to the lower overall margin rate.  While sales 
declined 7% in the steel cable segment, the gross profit margin remained 
constant mainly due to a decrease in raw material costs attributable to 
the product mix.

Operating Expenses
- - - - - - ------------------    
    Total selling and administrative expenses remained level with 1994 
and research and development costs decreased $127,000 (53%) from 1994.  
The decrease in research and development is attributable to lower 
expenses as product and process development projects in both the 
instruments and electronics segments were completed in 1994.

Other Income (Expense), net
- - - - - - ---------------------------    
    Other income (expense), net includes the following items:
                             
                                   1995    1994 
                                 -------  -------    
                                  (in thousands)

    Interest expense ........... $  (82)  $   (1)                   
    Real estate operations .....    (23)     (23)     
    Interest income ............      5        8      
    Other, net .................      2        -       
                                 ------   ------     
                                 $  (98)  $  (16)    
                                 ======   ======      

    The increase in interest expense is attributable to higher levels of 
short-term borrowings in 1995.


                                   -9-
<PAGE>

    The Company reported an operating profit of $106,000 in 1995 versus  
an operating loss of $237,000 in 1994.  Non-operating expenses increased 
$82,000 over 1994 mainly due to increased interest expense.  As a result, 
the Company reported a pre-tax profit of $8,000 in 1995 compared to a 
pre-tax loss of $253,000 in 1994.  The improvement in the operating 
performance from 1994 to 1995 is mainly attributable to the higher sales 
level, the increased gross profit percentage, and the decrease in 
operating expenses.  The Company expects to see continuing improvements 
in operating performance during 1995 based on projected increased sales 
resulting from both the Company's sales of new products developed in 
recent years and in sales, product promotion and customer service geared 
toward increasing market share.

                             ARTICLE V

Section 1.  Committees.  The Board of Directors, by resolution

committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be 
the act of such committee.

and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an 
Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation and may be sealed with the seal 
of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof.  The signatures of the 
officers of the Corporation upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the 
certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a 
registrar other than the Corporation itself or an employee of the 
Corporation.  In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile

respect to any such certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of 
stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or 
dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of 
determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend 
or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other 
action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the 
record date for any such determination of stockholders.  Such date 
shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date

meeting.

Section 5.  Registered Stockholders.  The Corporation shall be 
entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on 
its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as 
such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person 
registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be

contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or

notice be waived, in a writing, setting forth the proposed amendment, 
addition or repeal and signed by the director entitled to such 
notice.

(A) In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the
    effect would be anti-dilutive.

(B) Dilution from stock options is less than 3%, therefore primary earnings
    per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

(C) Dilution is less than 3%, therefore the primary basis was used for per
    share calculations.
