PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Results of operations for Three Months Ended April 1, 1995 as compared to Three
Months Ended April 2, 1994.

     Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 totaled $34,141,000 compared to net
sales of $32,904,000 for the comparable period of 1994, an increase of
approximately 3.8%.

     Gross profit, at $5,925,000, was 17.4% of net sales for the first quarter
of 1995 compared to $6,600,000, 20.1% of net sales, for the first quarter of
1994.  The Aero M Group reported a negative $125,000 at the gross profit level
for the first three months of 1995 versus an approximate gross profit of
$1,160,000 for the corresponding period in 1994.  Production trends are still
improving for this operating Group that had losses attributable to the move of
the electrolytic capacitor operations from Kentucky to Juarez, Mexico, during
the latter half of 1994.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were
12.5% of net sales, at $4,279,000, compared to 12.5% of net sales, at
$4,101,000, for the first quarter of 1994.

     Interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 was $513,000 compared to
$340,000 for the comparable period of 1994 as interest rates (measured by the
Prime Rate) increased by approximately 2.5 to 3.0 percentage points when
comparing first quarter, 1995, interest rates with the corresponding quarter in
1994.  This increase in rates was compounded by an increase in loans outstanding
of approximately $5.5 million in the first quarter of 1995 over the same period
of 1994.  Other income, at $229,000, was $132,000 higher than the other income
recorded for the first quarter of 1994, as a Licensee purchased more raw
materials from the Company than the previous period, 1994, and an exchange gain
was recorded by the Company's U.K. subsidiary.

     Income before taxes was $1,362,000 (4.0% of net sales) compared to
$2,256,000 (6.9% of net sales) in 1994.  Income tax provisions were $528,000 for
the first quarter of 1995 versus $903,000 for the corresponding period in 1994.
The tax rate of 38.8% for 1995 (compared to 40% for 1994) was favorably affected
by an increase in the percentage of profits of the Company by its U.K.
subsidiary with a lower tax rate.  Net income was $834,000 ($.15 per common
share) compared to net earnings for the first quarter of 1994 of $1,353,000
($.25 per common share).


Financial Conditions:  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash at the end of the first quarter, 1995, totaled $506,000 as compared to
$282,000 at the end of the first quarter of 1994.  Working capital was
$26,954,000 at the end of the first quarter of 1995 as compared to $22,368,000
at the end of the first quarter of 1994.  Current ratio of 2.4:1 compares to
2.2:1 at the end of the first quarter of 1994.  Approximately $2,572,000 of
expenditures were made for equipment during the first quarter of 1995 compared
to $1,361,000 during the same period of 1994.

     The Company amended the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement,
dated July 8, 1993, between it and The First National Bank of Boston (Bank of
Boston), on August 30, 1994, to include, among other things, the right of BHC
Aerovox, Ltd. (BHC), to borrow an amount not to exceed 4,000,000 Pounds Sterling
in addition to the $15,000,000 the Company may borrow under this Agreement.

                                    Page 6
<PAGE>
 
     At the end of the first quarter of 1995, the Company had borrowed
$14,200,000 (versus $11,000,000 at the end of the first quarter, 1994) and BHC
had borrowed approximately 3,500,000 Pounds Sterling under the Agreement with
the Bank of Boston.  The Company also has a term line of credit with the CIT
Group, an equipment financing company.  This line of $10,000,000, secured by
equipment at the Company's New Bedford facility, has a balance, at April 1,
1995, of $6,082,000, (compared to a balance at the end of the first quarter,
1994, of $7,948,000.  These loans, with five-year terms, carry annual interest
rates ranging from 7.36% to 8.24%.

     It was determined, at the end of the first quarter of 1995, that the
Company was in default of financial covenants imposed by the Bank of Boston and
the CIT Group.  Bank covenants for an interest coverage ratio of no less than 4
to 1 (earnings before interest and income taxes divided by total interest
expense) and a debt to worth ratio (consolidated total liabilities divided by
consolidated net worth) of no greater than 1.5 to 1 were not met at the end of
the first quarter - the interest coverage ratio was 3.6:1 and the debt to worth
ratio was 1.54 to 1.  Both banking institutions were advised of this position
and the Company received verbal waivers from them of what they recognize as a
temporary situation.
