international manufacturers of PCs, network interface cards, network
controllers and other devices that are connected to data communications
networks such as Token Ring and Ethernet.  The Fil-Mag Group conducts
manufacturing operations in its plants in Taiwan and the Philippines,
engineering activities at its San Diego, California location and sales
operations through offices in France, Singapore and San Diego.  The Company
intends to continue the businesses of the Fil-Mag Group at their current
locations.
     The purchase price was $9,082,000 (net of expenses).  In addition, the
Company caused FMI to repay to FEE Technology, S.A. approximately $1 million of
indebtedness.  FFT was indebted to local banks in the amount of approximately
$3.3 million of which approximately $3.0 million has been retired since the
acquisition.  The purchase price and the $1 million debt repayment were
financed by borrowing $10 million under a temporary acquisition line of credit
and cash on-hand of approximately $400,000.
     The purchase price was arrived at pursuant to arms-length negotiations
taking into account all pertinent factors including, but not limited to, the
nature, monetary and strategic value of the assets being acquired, the
businesses and business prospects of each member of the Fil-Mag Group and the
synergies of the businesses of the Fil-Mag Group with the current operations of
the Components Division of the Company.  The assets acquired had a fair value
of approximately $18.0 million, including current assets of $9.0 million and
approximately $2.5 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition.
Liabilities assumed totaled $8.6 million.
     Subsequent to the acquisition, eight key employees of the Fil-Mag Group
entered into a covenant against competition with the Company in exchange for
which the Fil-Mag Group paid them, in the aggregate, $1 million during the
twelve months subsequent to the acquisition.  The $1 million was financed by
cash on-hand.
     The activity of the Fil-Mag Group for the period from January 1 to January
17, 1994, was not material to the consolidated results of the Company.

(3)  (In Part) Shareholders' Equity

     On August 3, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved a three-for-
one split of the Company's common stock in the form of a 200% common stock
dividend for shareholders of record as of August 18, 1994.  A total of
5,962,640 shares were issued in connection with the split.  The stated par
value of each share was not changed from $.125.  A total of $745,000 was
reclassified from the Company's retained earnings account to the Company's
common stock account.  All share and per share amounts for 1994 have been
restated to retroactively reflect the stock split.

(4)  Supplemental Disclosure of Non-cash Transactions

     During the three months ending March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company issued
to employees stock pursuant to the Company's Restricted Stock Plan having a
fair value of $406,000 and $469,000, respectively.

(5)  Subsequent Event

     On April 24, 1995, Pulse Engineering, Inc. ("Pulse") accepted the
Company's revised offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Class A
common stock of Pulse in a transaction structured as a merger.  Additional
information regarding this event is contained in Part II, Item 5 (p. 9) of this
Form 10-Q.

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

     The results for the first quarter of 1995 have been prepared by
Technitrol's management without audit or participation by its independent
auditors.  In the opinion of management, the financial statements fairly
present the results of Technitrol's operations for the period presented and the
consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1995.  To the best knowledge and belief
of Technitrol, all normal recurring accruals and adjustments have been made to
properly reflect income and expenses attributable to this period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash and cash equivalents totalled $5.4 million at the end of the first
quarter, compared to $8.7 million at December 31, 1994.  Working capital was
$29.7 million, compared to $30.2 million at the end of last year.
     Operating activities provided $1.0 million in cash for the quarter.
Contributing to the positive cash flow were net earnings of $1.7 million and
depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million.  In addition, accounts payable
increased $1.6 million, primarily caused by (and offset by the negative cash
effect of) a $1.8 million increase in inventories.  The accounts receivable
increase of $2.1 million during the quarter consumed cash.  These increases in
accounts receivable and inventories were caused by increased sales during the
period.  Accrued expenses increased $.5 million during the quarter as a result
of various items, including additional pension expense accruals.
     Cash used in investing activities was $1.5 million, due to capital
expenditures made during the quarter.
     Cash used by financing activities was $3.0 million.  Cash was consumed by
dividend payments ($.6 million), repayment of short-term debt ($.4 million) and
principal payments of long-term debt of $2.0 million.

     Recent balance sheet composition has been:

ITEM 2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Results of Operations

     Sales in the first quarter of 1995 increased 14.5% from the first quarter
of 1994 to $40.0 million.  The increase was attributable to including a full
quarter of sales of the Fil-Mag Group, acquired January 17, 1994, and a 6.5%
increase in the collective sales of the Company's other businesses, compared to
their first quarter 1994 sales.  All three of Technitrol's business segments
experienced increased first quarter sales in 1995 compared to 1994.
     The March 31 backlog was $32.2 million, which represented an increase from
the $28.7 million backlog at December 31, 1994.  While the domestic market of
the Electronic Products Segment experienced further softening of demand,
bookings exceeded shipments for the quarter for both the Metallurgical Products
Segment and the End User / Finished Products Segment.
     The increased quarterly sales of the Electronic Products Segment reflected
an increase in Fil-Mag Group sales exceeding a decrease in the sales of the
Company's Components Division.  Quarterly gross profits for the segment
declined from prior year levels, as did operating profits, since the loss of
the higher profit margin sales in the Components Division was not offset by the
increased profits of the Fil-Mag Group.  After tax earnings of the segment
benefited from the favorable offshore effective tax rates of entities within
the Fil-Mag Group, relative to that of the Components Division, which is a
domestic entity.
     The Metallurgical Products Segment's increase in quarterly sales from the
comparable prior year period was primarily due to the shipments of Chace
Precision Metals.  Quarterly gross profits and operating profits of the segment
also increased over 1994 levels.  The increase included profit improvements of
the Export, PA plant of Advanced Metallurgy, Inc.  That plant includes the
product line acquired from Engelhard in 1991.  AMI's major markets are cyclical
and reflect general trends in housing, automotive, appliances and capital
equipment.
     End User/Finished Products Segment quarterly sales increased primarily as
a result of an increase in sales of Lloyd Instruments. Approximately two-thirds
of the sales increase at Lloyd resulted from the November 1994 acquisition of
the assets of Erichsen, a German competitor.  Profits for this segment,
however, were lower than in the first quarter of last year as decreased
profitability at Chatillon and Products Division, both on slightly lower sales,
more than offset the profit improvement of Lloyd.  Sales and earnings of the
Products Division are lower as banking institutions continue to consolidate and
domestic and foreign suppliers offer very competitively priced products.
     Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$7,775,000, but decreased slightly as a percentage of sales.  Those expenses
included a full quarter of activity of the Fil-Mag Group, along with costs
associated with executive hiring at the corporate level.
     Net interest expense declined to $235,000 for the quarter, down from that
of the comparable prior year period.  The decrease reflected a $2 million
principal payment of long-term debt during February 1995.
     The effective tax rates in the quarter were 30.5% in 1995 and 37.7% in
1994.  The decrease was caused by proportionately more taxable income earned by
the Company's offshore operating units, including Fil-Mag, which generally
incur lower tax rates than those experienced by Technitrol's domestic operating
units.

ITEM 5  OTHER INFORMATION

     On April 24, 1995, Pulse Engineering, Inc. ("Pulse") accepted Technitrol's
revised offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Class A common
stock of Pulse in a transaction structured as a merger. Under its revised
offer, Technitrol will purchase all the issued and outstanding Pulse shares for
approximately $28.5 million in cash and approximately 1,950,000 shares of
Technitrol stock. A shareholder receiving a pro rata allocation of the
consideration will receive $4.25 in cash and .2906 shares of Technitrol common
stock for each Pulse share owned. At closing, the .2906 shares of Technitrol
will be adjusted upward if the average closing price for Technitrol's stock is
below $13-3/4 and will be adjusted downward if the average closing price is
above $16-3/8, both calculated on the closing prices during the ten trading
days preceding the day prior to the closing.
     The acceptance by Pulse is subject to execution of a legally binding
definitive agreement which will contain normal and customary representations,
warranties, terms and conditions for transactions of this type including
receipt of a fairness opinion, necessary regulatory approvals and approval by
the shareholders of both companies. Technitrol's board of directors has
approved the offer and, subject to an agreement, it will recommend to its
shareholders that they approve it at a special meeting of the shareholders to
be called later this year. The merger is expected to be completed in the third
calendar quarter of 1995.
