               Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements



(1)  Organizational Structure

     Group Technologies Corporation (the "Company") is a leading provider of
advanced manufacturing, engineering and testing services to original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) of electronic products. The Company custom manufactures
complex circuit card assemblies, subsystems and end-user products for use in a
wide variety of markets, including avionics, gaming, network products, personal
computer, photography, space, telecommunications, utility, workstation and
government systems.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its majority owned subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Company"). The Company's operating subsidiaries are Group Technologies, S.A. de
C.V. ("GTC Mexico") and Group Technologies Suprimentos de Informatica Industria
e Comercio Ltda. ("GTC Brazil"). Substantially all of the assets of Metrum, Inc.
("Metrum"), which remains a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, were sold on
February 9, 1996 (see Note 6); however, certain non-operating assets and
liabilities were retained.

(2)  Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and on substantially the same basis as the annual
consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows
for those periods presented. Operating results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 1995 as
presented in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

(3)  Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the
applicable period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options and
warrants (vested and unvested) and are computed using the treasury stock method.
The computation includes those common shares and common equivalent shares as
prescribed by Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins.

     The amounts detailed above include inventories valued under the last-in,
first-out ("LIFO") method totaling $5,318,000 at December 31, 1995, which
approximates replacement cost at that date. No inventories were valued under
LIFO at June 30, 1996.

     The Company recognized revenue and income before income taxes during the
second quarter of 1996 of $4,083,000 upon the favorable settlement of a
contractual claim.

(5)  Note Payable and Long-Term Debt

     On March 29, 1996, the Company entered into a financing agreement (the
"1996 Credit Agreement") with its lender to amend and restate the revolving
credit agreement entered into on November 22, 1994. The 1996 Credit Agreement
provides the Company with a two-year revolving line of credit facility (the
"Revolver"), a $3,300,000 two-year facility (the "Term Note") and an additional
$5,000,000 facility (the "1996 Note") for the period through December 31, 1996.
Borrowings under the 1996 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of
the assets of the Company. Under the terms of the 1996 Credit Agreement, the
Company will pay interest monthly on outstanding borrowings at the prime rate
(8.25% at June 30, 1996) plus a spread (between 1.0% and 2.0%). The Company will
be provided credit availability on the Revolver equal to the lesser of
$27,500,000 or the applicable amount of its eligible accounts receivable and
inventories through December 31, 1996. Effective January 1, 1997 through the
maturity date of March 1998, the Company's credit availability on the Revolver
will equal the lesser of $22,500,000 or the applicable amount of its eligible
accounts receivable and inventories. Principal payments on the Term Loan are due
monthly commencing in the fourth quarter of 1996. The 1996 Note is payable in
two equal installments on August 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996, of which
$2,042,000 has been prepaid, and is classified as a note payable in the
Company's June 30, 1996 consolidated balance sheet. The 1996 Credit Agreement
requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and contains other
restrictive covenants, including prohibiting the Company from paying dividends.

     The Company paid a $250,000 fee and issued warrants to purchase 1,200,000
shares of common stock at $0.01 per share to its lender in consideration for
executing the amended financing agreement. At June 30, 1996, 200,000 of the
warrants were exercisable and the balance of the warrants become exercisable in
quarterly increments of 250,000 beginning March 1997. The warrants will expire 5
years following the issue date. The lender will forfeit any unvested warrants in
the event the Company repays

all debt outstanding under the 1996 Credit Agreement prior to the vesting date
of any warrant. The Company recorded an original issue discount for the 1996
Credit Agreement equal to the fair market value of the exercisable options and
is amortizing this discount over the 12 month period beginning April 1996.

     Long-term debt consists of the following:

     Available borrowings on the Revolver at June 30, 1996 were approximately
$5,700,000. The interest rate on all debt outstanding under the 1996 Credit
Agreement at June 30, 1996 was 10.25%.

(6)  Dispositions

     On February 9, 1996, the assets of the instrumentation products business
unit of Metrum were sold to F.W. Bell, Inc. ("Bell") for $10,104,000 cash and an
earn-out provision which provides for additional payments to the Company, up to
$3,000,000 in the event annual earnings before interest and taxes exceeds
defined amounts through December 31, 2001. The Company and Bell are both
majority owned subsidiaries of Group Financial Partners, Inc. (the "Parent").
Due to the common ownership interest of the Parent in the Company and Bell, the
Company requested and obtained an independent opinion, which indicated that the
consideration received by the Company for the sale of the instrumentation
products business was fair, from a financial point of view, to the unaffiliated
shareholders of the Company. In addition, due to the common ownership, the
amount by which the sales price exceeds the net book value of assets and
liabilities transferred, which amount has not yet been determined, will be
recorded by the Company as a contribution to its capital.

     On March 22, 1996, the Company sold substantially all of the assets related
to its Badger name brand product business unit for $1,457,000 cash.

</TABLE>

     The Company reported net income of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared with
a net loss of $4.6 million and $5.5 million for the comparable prior year
periods. The improvement in the Company's financial performance during the first
six months of 1996 resulted from an increase in the volume and profitability of
the Company's core manufacturing services, the favorable resolution of a name
brand products contractual claim and from a number of initiatives taken by
management during 1995 and 1996 to restore the Company's profitability. These
initiatives, including increasing sales, improving productivity and reducing
operating costs, remain an integral part of management's top priority of
returning the Company to profitability. The turnaround process is expected to be
a challenging activity and there are many internal and external factors
affecting the ultimate outcome of the process. Accordingly, management can make
no assurances that the Company will remain profitable throughout 1996.

     Revenue for the second quarter of 1996 was $64.0 million, a decrease of
$7.9 million or 11.0% from $71.9 million for the second quarter of 1995. Revenue
for the first six months of 1996 was $132.2 million, a decrease of $4.8 million
or 3.5% from $137.0 million for the first six months of 1995. The overall
decrease in revenue reflects several changes in the Company's business which
occurred during 1995 and the first six months of 1996. The composition of
revenue for the comparable year-to-year periods varied primarily as a result of
the Company's disposition of its name brand products business units during 1995
and in the first quarter of 1996 and its expansion into Latin America. The net
decrease in revenue of $4.8 million for the six month period is comprised of an
increase in the Company's core

<PAGE>
<PAGE> 10

manufacturing services business of $13.7 million offset by a $16.4 million
decrease in revenue associated with the disposition of substantially all of the
assets of Metrum and the Badger business unit and a $2.1 million decrease in
engineering services revenue.

     The change in the Company's revenue mix reflects the Company's strategic
focus on its core manufacturing services business. The largest component of the
revenue increase for the first six months of 1996 was generated by the growth in
the Company's Mexican and Brazilian manufacturing services operations, which
combined for an increase of $20.2 million over the first six months of 1995. The
principal increase in revenue from the Mexican operation was provided by the
continuation of a turnkey contract which began in the second half of 1995. The
Company's Brazilian operation commenced operations during the third quarter of
1995, providing manufacturing services under a consignment contract with the
Company's largest customer.

     Revenue for the Company's domestic manufacturing services business for the
first six months of 1996 decreased by $6.5 million from the first six months of
1995. The majority of the domestic manufacturing services revenue decrease was
related to a reduction in customer demand and cancellations of non-profitable
contracts during 1995. This decrease was partially offset by increased
production on a commercial customer turnkey contract which was awarded to the
Company in the fourth quarter of 1995 and completed by the Company during the
first four months of 1996.

     The Company significantly reduced the fixed costs of its Tampa facility
during 1995, lowering the break-even point of its manufacturing services
operation. While the Company continued to strategically lower both fixed and
variable costs, the revenue load for the Tampa facility was not sufficient to
enable it to report an operating profit for the first six months of 1996.
Additionally, the impending completion of a commercial contract will create
additional underutilized production capacity at the Company's Tampa facility
beginning early in the third quarter of 1996. While a near term replacement of
this business is not foreseen, the Company is actively pursuing new business
opportunities with both its existing customer base and new customers to replace
this business.

     To enhance the Company's prospects for achieving an adequate revenue load
in future periods, management has structured the marketing and sales function to
optimize the Company's capabilities toward the achievement of new business
generation. The Company's marketing efforts for its domestic manufacturing
services operations are focused to identify high product mix and advanced
packaging demands, and are designed to attract and win profitable contracts
which will utilize the Company's value added engineering capability. Management
has also consolidated certain manufacturing support and materials functions to
improve the Company's performance on its existing programs. If the Company is
unable to attract new business which will generate profitable revenue for its
Tampa facility during the third and fourth quarters of 1996, its financial
performance during these quarters may be adversely affected. Management will
closely monitor the progress of these activities and will take additional
actions to minimize the impact of any potential revenue shortfall.

     The aggregate decrease in revenue for the year-to-year comparable six month
periods related to the disposition of the name brand products business was $16.4
million. Revenue for the name brand products business units was $5.7 million for
the first six months of 1996 as compared to $22.1 million for the comparable
prior year period. The name brand products revenue in 1996 includes $4.1 million
of revenue derived from a favorable contract claim settlement. The Company's
instrumentation products and Badger business units were sold during the first
quarter of 1996 at amounts that approximated the carrying value of the net
assets sold. The sale of these units completed the disposition of the Company's
entire line of name brand products which also included two sale transactions in
the second quarter of

<PAGE>
<PAGE> 11

1995. The name brand products business gross profit percentage was typically
higher than the Company's manufacturing services business. However, the name
brand products business also required higher levels of selling, general and
administrative expense and research and development than the manufacturing
services business.

     Gross profit for the second quarter of 1996 increased to $4.8 million or
7.5% of revenue from $0.4 million or 0.6% of revenue in the second quarter of
1995. Included in the second quarter of 1996 gross profit is the favorable name
brand products business claim settlement of $4.1 million. Gross profit for the
first six months of 1996 increased to $9.0 million or 6.8% of revenue from $5.5
million or 4.0% of revenue in the first six months of 1995. The net increase in
gross profit during the first six months of 1996 is principally related to a
$6.5 million increase in gross profit from the Company's core manufacturing and
engineering services and the $4.1 million name brand products claim settlement,
partially offset by a $7.1 million decrease in gross profit from the name brand
products business exclusive of the claim settlement. Included in cost of
operations in the second quarter of 1996 are charges associated with inventory
reserves and adjustments, contract estimate changes and severance costs of $1.1
million, $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Included in cost of
operations in the second quarter of 1995 are charges associated with inventory
reserves and adjustments, estimated losses on terminated or unprofitable
contracts and severance costs of $2.0 million and $1.8 million and $0.6 million,
respectively.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the second quarter of 1996
decreased to $3.4 million or 5.4% of revenue from $5.5 million or 7.7% of
revenue in 1995, with a similar decrease throughout the first six months of
1996. The decrease reflects the disposition of the name brand products business
units and the result of ongoing cost reduction activities. Included in selling,
general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 1996 are charges
associated with increases in accounts receivable reserves of $0.5 million,
estimated costs associated with the relocation of warehouse facilities of $0.4
million and other general and administrative costs aggregating $0.5 million.
There were $0.8 million of charges in the second quarter of 1995 which were
primarily due to increases in accounts receivable reserves.

     Research and development expense for the second quarter and first six
months of 1996 decreased by $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, from
the comparable prior year periods. The Company's research and development
efforts have historically been concentrated on the name brand products business
units. The Company's manufacturing and engineering services businesses are
expected to continue to require comparatively lower levels of research and
development in the future.

     Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 1996
increased by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from the comparable
prior year periods. Although the Company's average debt outstanding during the
first six months of 1996 was lower than the comparable prior year period, the
weighted average interest rate on borrowings increased during 1996.

     Income tax expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996,
consists primarily of income taxes on earnings in foreign countries.

<PAGE> 12

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash used in operating activities was $6.1 million for the first six
months of 1996. The increases and decreases in the Company's operating assets
and liabilities during the first six months are net of the impact of the
disposition of the assets and liabilities of the instrumentation products and
Badger business units. Inventories decreased by $4.1 million during this period,
primarily attributable to the completion, or near completion, of certain
commercial contracts during the second quarter of 1996.

     The Company's accounts payable decreased by $10.3 million during the first
six months of 1996. The decrease is principally attributable to utilization of a
portion of the proceeds from the sales of businesses and a reduction in
inventory requirements. While the Company has maintained extended payment terms
with its suppliers, the Company has long-term relationships with a majority of
its suppliers and has been successful in maintaining reasonable credit terms
with its supplier base.

     Net cash provided by investing activities was $10.0 million for the first
six months of 1996. Capital expenditures were $1.5 million and current
commitments for capital expenditures for the remainder of 1996 are approximately
$1.1 million. The divestiture of the Company's instrumentation products and
Badger name brand products business units generated net proceeds of $10.1
million and $1.5 million, respectively. The majority of the proceeds from the
sale transactions were used to reduce the Company's debt outstanding and to
reduce accounts payable.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $4.9 million for the first six
months of 1996. On March 29, 1996, the Company entered into a financing
agreement with its lender which provided the Company with an amended and
restated revolving credit facility and two term facilities. The revolving credit
facility is for a term of two years and provides credit availability up to $27.5
million through December 1996 and $22.5 million through March 1998, subject to a
borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. At
June 30, 1996, availability on the Company's revolving credit facility was
approximately $5.7 million. The term facilities include a $3.3 million term note
payable in installments over two years and a $5.0 million term note payable in
installments through December 1996. Of the $5.0 million term note payable,
approximately $2.0 million was paid down during the second quarter of 1996.

     In connection with the financing agreement, the majority shareholder of the
Company invested $1.0 million in the Company in exchange for shares of common
stock. As a condition of the consummation of the restructured credit agreement,
the Company also issued warrants to purchase 1.2 million shares of common stock
to the lender, comprised of 0.2 million which vested on the date of closing and
1.0 million which vest quarterly in 25% increments beginning March 1997. The
lender will forfeit any unvested warrants in the event the Company repays all
debt outstanding prior to any warrant vesting date. The Company intends to seek
alternative sources of financing during 1996 and, if possible, to repay the debt
to the lender prior to March 29, 1997.

     The Company's principal sources of liquidity consist of funds available
under its revolving credit facility and its ability to manage asset turnover.
The Company's ability to manage its working capital position and to generate
profitable revenue for its Tampa facility during the second half of 1996 will
impact the Company's accounts receivable and inventories collateral base and,
therefore, the availability of borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
The maximum available borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $27.5
million through December 1996 and $22.5 million thereafter should provide the
Company with sufficient resources to meet its cash requirements through the next
twelve months. However, if the Company is unable to maintain the collateral base
required to utilize this borrowing capacity, its liquidity may be adversely
affected. Should it become evident that a potential

<PAGE>
<PAGE> 13

deficiency in short-term liquidity exists, management will undertake proactive
measures, including seeking alternative sources of working capital and capital
equipment financing, the sale of certain assets and actions to maximize the
amounts of accounts receivable and inventories eligible as collateral. Cash
requirements for periods beyond the next twelve months depend on the Company's
profitability, its ability to manage working capital requirements and its rate
of growth.

     Inflation did not have a material effect on the Company's operations in the
first six months of either 1996 or 1995.
