2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

History of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Productivity Technologies Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in June 1993
under the name Production Systems Acquisition Corporation with the objective of
acquiring an operating business engaged in the production systems industry.
The Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of common stock in July
1994 and raised net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million.  In May 1996, the
Company changed its name to Productivity Technologies Corp. and acquired,
through a merger, Atlas Technologies, Inc. ("Atlas") as a wholly owned
subsidiary.  On February 23, 2000, the Company purchased, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary formed for this purpose, substantially all of the assets of Westland
Control Systems, Inc. ("Westland").  The Company has no other subsidiaries or
operations.  The Company, which produces industrial machinery, operates in a
single segment through its Atlas and Westland subsidiaries.

The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the
Company, Atlas and Westland.  All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Nature of Business

The Company operates in a single segment through its Atlas and Westland
subsidiaries.  Atlas is a leading innovator and supplier of quick die change,
flexible transfer, and stacking/destacking equipment used to automate automotive
and other metal stamping operations.  Atlas operates two manufacturing plants in
Fenton, Michigan and has sales and engineering offices in Michigan, Europe and
China.

Westland designs and manufactures custom electrical control panels primarily for
use in production machinery and machine tools utilized in automotive, adhesive
and sealants, food processing and other industrial applications.  Westland
operates one manufacturing plant in Canton, Michigan, which is located less than
one hour from Atlas' plants in Fenton, Michigan.

Sales of Atlas products have principally been to automobile and automotive parts
manufacturers and appliance manufacturers.  Other customers include steel
service centers and manufacturers of lawn and garden equipment, office
furniture, heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, and large
construction equipment.  Sales to automotive related customer's account for the
majority of sales.  Westland's customers participate in the automotive, food
processing, adhesive and sealants and other industries.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

At Atlas, revenues from fixed price contracts, and the related contract costs,
are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method.  The percentage-of-
completion method measures the percentage of contract costs incurred to date and
compares these costs to the total estimated costs for each contract.  Atlas
estimates the status of individual contracts when progress reaches a point where
experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect
costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, repairs
and depreciation costs.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.  Changes
in job performance, job condition, estimated profitability, and final contract
settlement may result in revisions to costs and income, and are recognized in
the period the revisions are determined.  Revenues from time-and-material
contracts are recognized currently as the work is performed.  Westland
recognizes sales and cost of sales upon shipment to the customer.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share have been computed by dividing the income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding.  The per share amounts reflected in
the consolidated statements of operations are presented in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings per share";
the amounts of the Company's "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share (as
defined in SFAS No. 128) are the same.

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

Results of Operations

Unaudited revenues earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 were
$8,275,865, as compared to $6,529,112 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
The revenues earned reported by Westland, which was acquired by the Company on
February 23, 2000, represented 12%, or $967,771, of the total revenues reported
by the Company for the first quarter 2000.  Atlas recognized a 12% increase in
revenues, which was primarily due to greater customer demand as compared to the
first quarter of 1999.  The order backlog as of September 30, 2000 was $9.5
million, down 30% from the June 30, 2000 backlog of $13.5 million.  The decline
in backlog was primarily due to slower bookings of new orders in the first
quarter.  However, backlog increased by $3.3 million in the month of October
2000.  Management believes the volume of new business quotes remains active.

Cost of revenues earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $6,471,661,
up 24% from $5,231,260 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, principally due
to the inclusion of the results of Westland for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 but not in the quarter one year ago, and higher revenues earned (and
related costs) for Atlas during the current quarter.  As a percentage of
revenues earned, cost of revenues earned was 78.2% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to 80.1% for the quarter ended September 30,
1999. The slight decrease in cost of revenues as a percent of revenues earned
was principally due to the contribution of higher gross profit margins
associated with Westland's products.

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $1,804,204,
representing a 39% increase compared to the $1,297,852 gross profit for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, principally for the reasons recited above for
costs of revenues earned.  Westland contributed $387,782 of the gross profits
and the remaining $1,416,422 of gross profit was from Atlas.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were
$1,844,898, or 26% greater than the quarter ended September 30, 1999 SG&A
expenses of $1,459,571. The difference in SG&A expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 was due to the inclusion of Westland's SG&A expenses in this
quarter but not in the quarter one year ago.  As a percentage of revenues
earned, SG&A expenses were 22% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and the
quarter ended September 30, 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>

The net loss from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was
$40,694, compared to a net loss from operations for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 of $161,719. This improvement for the quarter was the result of the
increased volume at Atlas and the inclusion of Westland's results relative to
the quarter one year ago.

Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $427,691, up 64%
from $261,346 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.  Higher interest costs
in the three-month period were due to the new Company debt which was borrowed to
finance the purchase of Westland.

The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $292,859, compared to
a net loss of $249,653 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.  The reported
net loss for the quarter of $0.12 per share was based on 2,475,000 weighted
average common shares outstanding during the quarter.  This compared to a net
loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $.10 cents per share, based on
2,475,000 weighted average common shares outstanding during the quarter a year
ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes financing facilities currently in place, along with
anticipated cash available from operations, will be sufficient for general
operations.  On July 31, 2000, the Company was scheduled to repay approximately
$417,000 of the subordinated deferred indebtedness totaling $1,108,352 due to
the former owners of Atlas.  This repayment has been postponed for an indefinite
period of time.  Instead, cash is being conserved for ongoing operations.   In
addition, the Company's bank has requested the postponement of the payment of
the $417,000 until the Company's financial results improve.

At September 30, 2000, the Company had (1) debt of $10,921,607 under the line of
credit, and $3,700,000 of Industrial Revenue Bond obligations, payable over the
12 years remaining in their term, (2) deferred executive compensation
obligations of $1,108,352 scheduled to be paid over three equal annual
installments during the period from July 2000 through July 2002, (3) five year
term debt of $3,600,000, bearing interest at 125 basis points over the prime
rate, incurred in February 2000 to purchase Westland, (4) five year
subordinated term debt of $2,750,000, payable to the former owner of Westland
and bearing a fixed interest rate of 9.25%, incurred in February 2000 to
purchase Westland , and (5) other debt of $54,652.  This total of $22,134,611
compares to a total combined long-term debt financing and line of credit current
balance of $22,961,403 as of June 30, 2000.

The Company believes that, as a result of the current loan facility, its short-
term credit availability is adequate to support its business operation at
current and near-term anticipated sales levels.  This excludes the repayment of
previously scheduled subordinated deferred indebtedness as noted above.  Working
capital at September 30, 2000 was $13,394,842 and the current ratio was 2.7 to
1, as compared to $14,816,624 and a current ratio of 2.8 to 1, respectively, for
the Company at June 30, 2000.

The Company's revolving credit agreement and term loan with a bank impose
financial levels of tangible capital funds, specified leverage ratios (debt to
equity), and fixed expense coverage.  At June 30, 2000, the Company was not in
compliance with the financial covenants specified in the agreements.  On October
13, 2000, the Company obtained a waiver from the bank waiving its acceleration
rights as a result of the Company's noncompliance.  In addition, the financial
covenants were amended to provide for less stringent requirements through June
30, 2001.  Based on current projections for the year ending June 30, 2001,
management believes operations will provide sufficient funds to enable the
Company to meet the amended requirements.

Forward-Looking Statements

Various statements in this Report concerning the manner in which the Company
intends to conduct its future operations and potential trends that may affect
future results of operations are forward-looking statements.  The Company may be
unable to realize its plans and objectives due to various important factors.
These factors include but are not limited to what management believes is a
current softening of the domestic and foreign markets for automobiles and
automotive parts resulting in reduced demand for the Atlas' automation
equipment; potential technological developments in the metal forming and
handling automation equipment markets which may render Atlas' automation
equipment noncompetitive or obsolete; the risk that Atlas may not succeed in its
ongoing patent suit against Orchid; the risk that Westland's customers may be
unwilling or unable to continue ordering control panels; the potential inability
of the Company to continue to meet the new, less stringent financial covenants
under the Company's existing credit facility that are to remain in effect
through June 30, 2001 or to comply with the original financial covenants that
again are to become applicable as of July 1, 2001; the tightening of credit
availability generally or under the Company's exiting credit facility which may
render the Company unable to access needed working capital.
