          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
  CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

  Three Months Ended December 1, 1995 and December 2, 1994


Net sales increased $5,009,000 or 23.8% from $21,088,000 for the three
months ended December 2, 1994 to $26,097,000 for the three months ended
December 1, 1995.  Sales to the automotive market increased $5,833,000 or
49.2% from $11,851,000 for the three months ended December 2, 1994 to
$17,684,000 for the three months ended December 1, 1995.  The increase is
the result of continued demand for interconnect systems for engine 
control units, power distribution instrumentation, plus flexible materials
for airbags.  This demand resulted from the Company's continued efforts 
to position itself as a leading supplier of flexible circuits and
interconnects to the automotive electronics industry.  Sales to the
datacommunication market decreased $77,000 or 2.2% from $3,485,000 for 
the three months ended December 2, 1994 to $3,408,000 for the three 
months ended December 1, 1995. Aerospace/defense market sales decreased 
$852,000 or 32.9% from $2,590,000 for the three months ended December 2, 
1994 to $1,738,000 for the three months ended December 1, 1995.  The 
decline in the aerospace/defense market sales is principally due to 
the sale of the Company's Hoskins Aviation Lighting Product Line Division early
in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Industrial market sales increased 
$859,000 or 53.6% from $1,604,000 for the three months ended December 2, 
1994 to $2,463,000 for the three months ended December 1, 1995.  Consumer 
market sales decreased $754,000 or 48.4% from $1,558,000 for the three months
ended December 2, 1994 to $804,000 for the three months ended December 1,
1995, as sales of flexible interconnect to original equipment camera
manufacturers declined.

Gross profit increased $1,287,000 or 29.3% from $4,400,000 for the three
months ended December 2, 1994 to $5,687,000 for the three months ended
December 1, 1995.  Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to
21.8% for the three months ended December 1, 1995 from 20.9% for the 
three months ended December 2, 1994.  Increased factory volume and 
continued improvements to manufacturing processes contributed to the 
increase in gross profit.

Expenses increased $775,000 or 21.0% from $3,689,000 for the three months
ended December 2, 1994 to $4,464,000 for the three months ended December
1, 1995.  As a percentage of sales, expenses decreased to 17.1% for the
three months ended December 1, 1995 from 17.5% for the three months ended
December 2, 1994.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $54,000 or 2.4% from $2,275,000 
for the three months ended December 2, 1994 to $2,221,000 for the three 
months ended December 1, 1995.  Increased consulting and relocation 
expenses were offset by reductions in travel and proposal materials 
and sample costs.

Net general and administrative expenses increased $306,000 or 35.4% from
$864,000 for the three months ended December 2, 1994 to $1,170,000 for 
the three months ended December 1, 1995.  Gross general and 
administrative costs increased $195,000 or 17.8% from $1,097,000 for the 
three months ended December 2, 1994 to $1,292,000 for the three months 
ended December 1, 1995.  The increase was the result of increased legal 
and consulting costs relating to the China and Morton International joint 
ventures.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and 1996, $233,000 
and $122,000, respectively, of ARPA credits were applied to general 
and administrative costs, decreasing gross expenses.  See Note 3 of 
the accompanying financial statements for additional information 
regarding ARPA. 

Research and development expenses increased $159,000 or 29.9% from
$531,000 for the three months ended December 2, 1994 to $690,000 for the
three months ended December 1, 1995.  Costs increased due to the 
resources required to complete full scale production of the Longmont, 
Colorado, production facility.  

Net interest expense increased by $364,000, or 19 times, from $19,000 for
the three months ended December 2, 1994 to $383,000 from the three months
ended December 1, 1995. Gross interest expense increased $682,000 or
301.8% from $226,000 for the three months ended December 2, 1994 to
$908,000 for the three months ended December 1, 1995.  The Company's
borrowings to support capital expenditures increased substantially 
causing the significant increase in interest cost.  Capitalized interest 
increased $318,000 or 153.6% from $207,000 for the three months ended 
December 2, 1994 to $525,000 for the three months ended December 1, 1995.
The increase in capitalized interest is the result of extensive capital
spending including the new production facility in Longmont, Colorado.

As the result of increased sales and improved gross margin performance,
income before provision for income taxes increased $512,000 or 72.0% from
$711,000 for the three months ended December 2, 1994 to $1,223,000 for 
the three months ended December 1, 1995.

For the current quarter, income taxes have been provided at an estimated
effective annual rate of 30%.  As a result, net income for the three
months ended December 2, 1994 was $519,000 or $0.08 per share and 
$858,000 or $0.12 per share for the three months ended December 1, 1995.

Financial Condition

The Company's cash requirements for the three months ended December 1,
1995 were satisfied through positive operating results and and 
borrowings. For the three months ended December 1, 1995, operating cash 
flows were $4.2 million and capital expenditures for the three months 
ended December 1, 1995 totaled $6.4 million.

On November 21, 1995, the Company completed a $29.1 million common stock
offering; $10.5 million of these funds were used to pay down the 
revolving credit note with the remaining $18.6 million invested in high 
grade short term interest bearing securities.  The Company will use these 
funds to finance its continuing capital expansion programs over the next 
several quarters.

As a result, working capital as of December 1, 1995 was $29,738,000, an
increase of $13,406,000 since September 1, 1995.  The Company's current
ratio increased to 2.5 to 1 compared to 2.0 to 1 at September 1, 1995.

In addition, as a result of the common stock offering, the Company 
expects its interest rates to decline  100 to 150 basis points, under the 
terms of its revolving credit agreement.
