                 STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




(1)  BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (the "Company") designs, develops,
manufacturers and markets mechanical locks, electro-mechanical locks and
related security products for North American automotive manufacturers.  The
accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated results of the
Company, its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, and its foreign sales
corporation.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 29, 1996,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended.  All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.  Interim financial
results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

     Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to
the September 29, 1996 presentation.

(2) ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     In 1995, the Company recorded a provision of $3 million for estimated
costs to remediate a site at the Company's Milwaukee facility that was
contaminated by a solvent spill which occurred in 1985.  The environmental
reserve reflects this provision.

Item 2
                 STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


     The following Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Company's accompanying Financial Statements and Notes thereto and the
Company's 1996 Annual Report.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references to
years refer to fiscal years.

Analysis of Results of Operations

  Three months ended September 29, 1996 compared to the three months ended
  October 1, 1995

     Net sales increased 30 percent to $36.2 million for the three months ended
September 29, 1996, from $27.8 million for the three months ended October 1,
1995.  The sales increase is primarily due to sales to the Ford Motor Company,
which totaled $9.9 million in the current quarter compared to $2.4 million in
the prior year quarter.  During the current quarter, the Company made
production volume shipments for all vehicle programs which it supplies to Ford.
Production on the majority of these programs was phased in during the prior
fiscal year.  Sales to General Motors Corporation and Chrysler Corporation
increased by a total of approximately 7 percent compared to the prior year
quarter due to increased vehicle production at these customers and increased
product content and features in the locksets supplied by the Company.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 17.3 percent in the three
months ended September 29, 1996, compared to 17.1 percent in the three months
ended October 1, 1995.  Scrap levels and expedited freight costs have decreased
in the current quarter compared to fiscal 1996 as the Company has focused on
identifying and correcting the causes for these problems.

     Engineering, selling and administrative expenses were $4.2 million or 11.5
percent of sales for the three months ended September 29, 1996, compared to
$3.8 million or 13.6 percent of sales for the three months ended October 1,
1995.

     Income from operations was $2.1 million for the three months ended
September 29, 1996, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended October
1, 1995.  Income from operations increased reflecting the increased sales
volume as previously described above.

     The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 38.5 percent
compared to 39.9 percent in the prior year quarter.  The current quarter rate
is consistent with the prior fiscal year rate.  The effective rate differs from
the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the effects of state income
taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Capital expenditures in the first three months of 1997 were $1.4 million
compared to $3.0 million in the first three months of 1996.  The decrease in
capital expenditures compared to the prior year is due to the timing of
expenditures for new product programs.  The Company anticipates that capital
expenditures will be approximately $11 million in fiscal 1997 primarily in
support of additional product programs, and the upgrade and replacement of
existing equipment at the Milwaukee facility.

The Company's investment in accounts receivable increased by approximately $7.2
million to $26 million at September 29, 1996, as compared to $18.8 million at
June 30, 1996, due to the receipt of normal payments from significant customers
subsequent to September 29, 1996, and an increase in outstanding billings for
customer tooling.  Inventory levels at September 29, 1996, were consistent with
the levels at June 30, 1996.

     The Company has a $25 million unsecured, revolving credit facility (the
"Credit Facility").  Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility were $7.1
million at September 29, 1996 primarily due to the increase in accounts
receivable as previously discussed above.  The Company believes that the Credit
Facility will be adequate, along with cash flow from operations, to meet its
anticipated capital expenditure, working capital and operating expenditure
requirements.  Funding of the environmental remediation at the Milwaukee
facility is not expected to impact ongoing operations.

     The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a stock repurchase
program to buy back up to 5 percent of the 5.8 million outstanding shares.
Shares will be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions and
will be held as Treasury Shares.  The stock repurchase program will be funded
through the Credit Facility along with cash flow from operations.

     The Company has not been significantly impacted by inflationary pressures
over the last several years.  Primary raw materials are high grade zinc and
brass which are generally subject to commodity pricing and variations in the
market prices of these materials.

Mexican Operations

     The Company has assembly operations in Juarez, Mexico.  The functional
currency of the Mexican operation is the Mexican Peso.  The effects of currency
fluctuations result in adjustments to the U.S. dollar value of the Company's
net assets and to the equity accounts in accordance with FAS No. 52, "Foreign
Currency Translation."



     A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this Form 10-Q that
are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances
and developments.  These include expected future financial results, liquidity
needs, financing ability, management's or the Company's expectations and
beliefs and similar matters discussed in the Company's Management Discussion
and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.  The discussions
of such matters and subject areas are qualified by the inherent risk and
uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may
materially differ from the Company's actual future experience.  The Company's
business, operations and financial performance are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties which could result in material differences in actual results from
the Company's current expectations.  These risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to, general economic conditions, demand for the Company's
products and costs of operations.
