ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

The audited financial statements and exhibits required under item 7 have been 
completed and are filed herewith electronically.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
     
On July 1, 1998, SBS Technologies, Inc. ("SBS") acquired, through its newly 
formed wholly-owned subsidiary, SBS Holdings GmbH, a 50.1% interest in OR 
Industrial Computers GmbH, ("OR"), from the founder.  OR is a German 
corporation that produces CPU boards utilized in a wide range of embedded 
computer applications.  OR designs, manufactures and markets CPU boards based 
on Intel computer architecture available in the VME, CompactPCI and PCCompact 
form factors, as well as VME CPU boards based on the Motorola 680X0 series 
processors and a series of computer input/output boards.

In addition, SBS acquired, through its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, 
SBS Holdings GmbH, 50.2% of the shares of ORTEC Electronic Assembly, GmbH, 
("ORTEC"), a related company, which manufactures OR's commercial products and 
electronic products for other customers.

SBS acquired, through its wholly-owned subsidiary SBS Embedded Computers, 
Inc., based in Raleigh, NC, 100% of the shares of OR Computers, Inc., based 
in Fairfax, VA, which is the U.S. marketing and support organization for the 
OR product line.

OR, ORTEC and OR Computers, Inc. are entities under common control and are 
collectively referred to as the "German Group".

The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method, whereby the 
purchase price will be allocated to the underlying assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values.  The allocation 
of the purchase price is in process and it is expected that a portion of the 
purchase price will be allocated to in-process research and development 
which, under generally accepted accounting principles, will be immediately 
expensed by SBS.  The charge to SBS earnings will be recognized in the 
quarter ending September 30, 1998, and it is possible that such charge will 
result in SBS reporting a net loss for such quarter.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the 
following: (i) preliminary adjustment for the purchase accounting and 
estimated fair value allocation of the assets acquired and the obligations 
assumed; (ii) adjustment for the dividend to the former owner of the German 
Group, and the associated increase in interest expense; (iii) the assumed 
borrowing of funds on July 1, 1996 with which to acquire the German Group, 
and the increase of interest expense; and (iv) reduction of interest income 
on surplus cash used to relieve the assumed debt described above.  On July 1, 
1998, SBS actually used available cash on hand to consummate the cash portion 
of the acquisition.  The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of 
March 31, 1998 was prepared as if the transaction had occurred on that date.  
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 
12-month period ended June 30, 1997 and the nine-month period ended March 31, 
1998 were prepared as if the transaction had occurred on July 1, 1996.

In the opinion of SBS management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly 
such Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been made based on the 
terms and structure of the acquisition.

These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are not 
necessarily indicative of what actual results would have been had the 
transaction occurred at the beginning of the respective periods nor do they 
purport to indicate the results of future operations of the Company. 

These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in 
conjunction with the accompanying notes and with the Combined Financial 
Statements of the German Group filed electronically herewith.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of OR Industrial 
Computers GmbH, ORTEC Electronic Assembly GmbH and OR Computers Inc. as of 
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related combined statements of operations, 
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then 
ended, all expressed in United States dollars. These combined financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OR Industrial 
Computers GmbH, ORTEC Electronic Assembly GmbH and OR Computers Inc. as of 
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of their operations and their cash 
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)    GENERAL

The combined financial statements include the financial statements of OR
Industrial Computers GmbH, ORTEC Electronic Assembly GmbH and OR Computers
Inc.(collectively, the "Company"). All significant accounts and transactions
between these entities have been eliminated. Combined financial statements have
been presented because these entities are under common control and such
presentation is more meaningful than a presentation of separate statements.

OR Industrial Computers GmbH, a private limited company under German Commercial
Law (HGB), develops, manufactures and distributes electronic devices (hard and
software). The business activities are mainly based in Europe and the United
States.

The corporate purpose of ORTEC Electronic Assembly GmbH is electronic
manufacturing, particularly board assembling.

OR Computers Inc. sells industrial computers as well as pre- and 
after-sales-services.

(b)    SALES RECOGNITION

The sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and reward of
ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer (i.e. at delivery). Revenue
from long-term contracts is recognised according to the percentage-of-completion
method. Revenue from services is recognised when the service is rendered.

(c)    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Temporary investments with original maturities of ninety days or less are
classified as cash and cash equivalents. The Company's cash and cash equivalents
are limited to checking accounts.

(d)    INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Slow 
moving and obsolete items are provided for. Raw materials cost is determined 
on a first-in-first-out basis. Manufactured products are generally valued at 
raw material cost, labour cost and a proportion of manufacturing overheads 
and determined on a first-in-first-out basis.



                                                                    (Continued)

(e)    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are shown at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation on moveable assets follows the straight-line method and also, in
part, an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of one to eight
years.

(f)    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND OTHER ASSETS

Accounts receivable and other current assets are shown at nominal value. Risks
are reflected by allowances for doubtful amounts. General provisions to cover
bad debt expense amount to 3% of accounts receivable after deduction of VAT.

(g)    INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of 
accounting for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards, No. 109, `Accounting for Income Taxes'. Under this 
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the estimated 
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial 
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their 
respective tax bases.

(h)    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

(i)    USE OF ESTIMATES

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions 
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and to amounts of 
revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these financial 
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(j)    FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Assets and liabilities of operations denominated in foreign currencies are 
translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period 
while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates.

The national currencies of the individual companies are the functional 
currencies(German mark for OR Industrial Computers GmbH and ORTEC Electronic 
Assembly GmbH, and the U.S. dollar for OR Computers Inc.). Translation gains 
and losses are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

                                                                    (Continued)

     quarter ending September 30, 1998, and it is possible that such charge 
     will result in SBS reporting a net loss for such quarter.
