3.        Common Stock
          
          a. Equity Offering

          On August 1, 1996, the Company completed an offering of its shares of
          capital stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 ("the
          Offering").  Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold 1,100,000
          shares of Common Stock to the public at the price of $12.125 per
          share.  In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters an option,
          exercisable until August 31, 1996 to purchase an aggregate of up to
          165,000 additional shares of Common Stock at $12.125 price per share
          less underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments,
          if any.  The underwriters purchased all 165,000 shares on August 16,
          1996.  The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were
          $13,660,329.  See Note 4 regarding indebtedness. 

          b. Initial Public Offering

          On September 6, 1995, the Company completed the initial public
          offering of its shares of capital  Stock pursuant to its 
          Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "IPO").  Pursuant to the 
          IPO, Canrad of Delaware Inc., ("Canrad"), the holder of record of 
          all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ballantyne, sold 
          1,200,000 shares of Ballantyne common stock to the public at an IPO 
          price of $6.50.  In connection with the IPO, on June 30, 1995, the 
          Company effected a 400,000-to-1 stock exchange which has been given 
          retroactive effect in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 
          The authorized common stock of Ballantyne was increased from 
          100,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares and the 10 issued shares 
          increased to 4,000,000 shares.  As a result, $40,000 was 
          transferred from additional paid-in capital to common stock. In 
          addition, the Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares 
          of preferred stock, $.01 per value.

          On October 2, 1995, an additional 180,000 shares of Ballantyne were
          sold by Canrad at the IPO price of $6.50.
 
4.        Indebtedness

          The Company used $7,601,000 of the proceeds of the Offering to pay off
          indebtedness owed under a revolving credit facility from Norwest Bank
          Nebraska, N.A.

5.        Related Party Transactions

          Canrad Inc., the parent of Canrad Delaware, provides services to its
          subsidiaries on a corporate basis.  Such services include strategic
          planning, acquisition assistance, procurement of capital and debt
          arrangements, securing health and business insurance coverages and
          payment of medical claims, audit and income tax planning and other
          matters.  Fees charged for these services amounted to $75,000 and
          $225,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
          and 1995, respectively.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following discussion and analysis relates to the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements and presents a current assessment of
material changes in financial condition and results of operations.  A detailed
discussion and analysis for the preceding years appears in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Company's borrowings (including long and short-term) of $517,800
reflect a decrease of approximately $7,541,600 as compared to December 31, 1995.
The principal reasons for the decrease were the payoff of $7,090,000 from
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility with Norwest Bank
Nebraska, N.A. (The "Norwest Facility") and capital lease payoffs of
manufacturing equipment in the amount of $215,000.  Also a payment of $91,800
pursuant to a non-compete agreement with Optical Radiation Corporation and
$144,800 of payments made pursuant to the 7.9% Industrial Development Revenue
Bond.

          The Company's intercompany payable to parent reflects an increase of
approximately $14,800 at September 30, 1996 as compared to the end of the prior
year.

          The Company anticipates that internally generated funds and borrowings
under the Norwest Facility will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs.
Net cash provided (used) by operating activities for the years ended December
31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $3.1
million, $3.4 million, $2.4 million and $190,400, respectively.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, net cash provided by operating activities was
approximately $1,310,600.  The decrease in net cash provided by operating
activities was primarily due to increases in net income, inventory, trade
receivables and income taxes payable.  Prior to its initial public offering, the
company did not pay quarterly estimated taxes and therefore the Company had
significantly higher cash tax payments during the nine months ended September
30, 1996.  The Company expects that it will have capital expenditures on
equipment of approximately $900,000 in 1996.  The Company does not engage in any
currency hedging activities in connection with its foreign operations and sales.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995

          Net sales of $12.6 million and $36.5 million for the three and nine
month periods ended 

                                 Page 9

September 30, 1996 represent increases of 35% and 33% over the respective 
prior year periods.  The following table sets forth net sales of theatre 
products and restaurant products for the respective periods:

                         -------        -----          ------         ------

          Net sales of theatre products increased approximately $3,375,000 or
39% for the three months and approximately $9,054,000 or 33% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods of the prior year.  The
majority of the increase is attributable to unit sales increases of projectors,
sound heads, platters and lenses which  is reflective of the continued planned
industry-wide expansion of both the domestic and world-wide theatre markets.

          Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 31% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 from 28% for the same three month period
of 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to better efficiencies in
manufacturing caused by increased throughput.

          Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 29% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

          Operating expenses increased approximately $444,700 and $795,600 for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
same periods of  the prior year.   As a percentage of net sales, such expenses
decreased to 14.2% for the current quarter and to 13.6% for the current nine
months from 14.4% and 15.1% for the same quarter and nine month periods of the
prior year. The additional theatre sales have been generated without a
corresponding increase in selling costs, travel and the number of employees. 
Operating expenses include a corporate overhead charge of $75,000 and $225,000
for the three and nine month periods of 1996 and 1995.

          Interest expense amounted to approximately $42,400 and $424,200 for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $54,669
and $96,084 for the same three and nine month periods of 1995.  This increase
reflects the interest expense attributable to the incurrence of $8.0 million of
indebtedness in September 1995 under the Norwest Facility in connection with the
Company's initial public offering.  This indebtedness was repaid in full in
August 1996.  See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

          The actual income tax expense amounted to approximately 39.4% for the
current three and nine month periods as compared to a statutory rate of 34%. 
The differences relate to the non-deductibility of certain intangible expenses,
principally goodwill, and the effects of state income taxes.
