               Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants




The Participants and Advisory Committee
  Reptron Electronics, Inc.
  401(k) Retirement Savings Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of Reptron Electronics, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets
Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1997 and Reportable
Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1997 are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Reptron Electronics, Inc.'s (the Company)
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan), which was established effective
January 1, 1993, provides only general information. Participants should refer
to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

1.         General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all 
      full-time employees of the Company who have completed six months of
      service and are age twenty-one or older. It is subject to the provisions
      of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

2.         Contributions. Each year participants may contribute up to 15 percent
      of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined. Participants may also
      contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified
      defined benefit or contribution plans. The Company makes discretionary
      contributions at the option of the Company's board of directors. Company
      matching is based on a percentage of the participant's contribution. The
      Company matching percentage was 10% for 1997 and 1996.

3.         Participant Accounts. Each participant's account is credited with the
      participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's
      contribution and, (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of
      administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
      account balances, as defined. Forfeited balances of terminated
      participants' non-vested accounts are used to reduce future Company
      contributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the
      benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

4.         Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions 
      plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's discretionary
      matching portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based
      on years of continuous service. Participants are not credited with a year
      of service for vesting purposes for the period during which the Company
      did not maintain this Plan. A participant is 100 percent vested after
      five years of credited service.

7.    Payment of Benefits

      Lifetime benefits (normal retirement age is 65)
      On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a
      participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the
      value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account, or
      installment payments.

      Termination prior to retirement
      For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may
      receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a
      lump-sum distribution or in installment payments not exceeding the

      1995.

9.    Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
      date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amount of
      revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
      differ from those estimates.
