                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  Accounting Policies

     For a complete description of the accounting policies of Technitrol, Inc.
and its consolidated subsidiaries ("the Company"), refer to Note 1 to the
financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K filed for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

Reclassifications

     Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the current year's presentation.

(2)  Acquisition

     On September 29, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Pulse
Engineering, Inc. ("Pulse"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of May 23, 1995.  As a result of the merger, Pulse became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.  Pulse, headquartered in San Diego, California, and
with operations in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China and Ireland,
designs, manufactures and markets electronic components and modules primarily
for manufacturers of local area networks and telecommunications systems.

     The total purchase price approximates $61.5 million and consists of cash
due to the former Pulse stockholders, stock issued to the former Pulse
stockholders, stock options assumed, and related acquisition costs.  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, business prospects
of Pulse and the synergies of Pulse with the existing operations of the
Electronic Products Segment of the Company.  The fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $66.5 million and $14.0 million,
respectively.  The excess of cost over net assets acquired approximated $9.0
million and will be amortized over 15 years.

     Approximately 1,785,000 shares of Technitrol common stock at a fair market
value of $16.375 per share were issued to former holders of Pulse common stock.
In addition, all outstanding options to purchase Pulse common stock were
assumed by the Company.  Approximately 269,000 shares of Technitrol common
stock are issuable upon exercise of such options.  Except for approximately
33,000 options which are not yet vested, all assumed options are currently
exercisable at prices ranging from $1.73 to $15.61.  The options have various
expiration dates, the latest of which is in April 2001.  The shares issued and
the options outstanding were excluded from the weighted average shares
outstanding used for calculating earnings per share for the period ended
September 30, 1995, since they were issued on the last day of the period and,
therefore, the effect on earnings per share was immaterial.  The cash
consideration included approximately $21.5 million paid to the former holders
of Pulse common stock and approximately $1.5 million of transactions costs.
Prior to September 30, 1995, approximately $5.0 million of cash was paid in
connection with the acquisition including the purchase of a warrant for 655,489
shares of Pulse common stock in May 1995.  On or about October 12, 1995, an
additional $21.5 million was paid to the former shareholders of Pulse common
stock.

(2)  Acquisitions (continued)

     In conjunction with the Pulse acquisition, Technitrol established a credit
facility with a group of banks (Corestates Bank, N.A., as Agent, Midlantic
Bank, N.A. and Meridian Bank, N.A.) which authorizes Technitrol to borrow up to
$50 million on an unsecured basis.  Technitrol has used approximately $18
million of this credit facility to refinance existing indebtedness and
approximately $4 million of the credit facility to partially fund the cash
portion of the merger consideration.

     The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting.  Had Pulse been acquired on January 1, 1994, unaudited consolidated
pro forma results of operations would have been (in thousands, except for
earnings per share):

          Earnings per share            $1.61               $0.02

     This unaudited information is provided for comparative purposes only.  It
does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have
occurred if the acquisition had been consummated on the date indicated or which
may be obtained in the future.  The pro forma earnings per share amounts
include the effect of shares issued and stock options assumed in connection
with the merger.  The per share amounts shown in the Consolidated Financial
Statements for September 30, 1995 exclude the effect of these shares since they
were issued on the last day of the period and had an immaterial effect on
earnings per share for the period presented.

(3)  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.

(4)  Supplemental Disclosure of Non-cash Transactions

     During the nine months ending September 30, 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.

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

     The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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

     On September 29, 1995, the Company completed its acquisition of Pulse
which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technitrol, Inc.  Since the
acquisition took place on the last working day of the third quarter,
Technitrol's September 30, 1995 Consolidated Balance Sheet includes that of
Pulse.

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $30.1 million at September
30, 1995; however, $21.5 million in cash was then payable to the previous
shareholders of Pulse and therefore treated as a current liability.  This
amount was subsequently paid in October 1995.  Consolidated working capital was
$44.9 million at the end of the third quarter.

     Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities (which exclude the effect
of the acquisition of Pulse) provided net cash of  $4.3 million.  Contributing
to the positive cash flow were net earnings of $5.4 million and depreciation
plus amortization of $4.1 million.  Receivables and payables decreased as a
result of sales decreasing in the third quarter.  Inventories have increased by
$4.3 million since the end of 1994, primarily in the Metallurgical Products
Segment where customers continue to move toward "just in time" deliveries.  In
addition, prepaid expenses increased by $.6 million through September.  This
increase included the effect of tool and die expenditures within the
Metallurgical Products Segment which have not yet been fully amortized.

     Cash provided by investing activities was $12.6 million through September.
Of that total, $16.7 million was the net amount received from the acquisition
of Pulse.  This amount represents the total cash acquired of $21.7 million less
$5.0 million paid prior to September 30, 1995 for Pulse warrants.
Additionally, $21.5 million was used for cash payments made in October to
previous Pulse shareholders.  Separately, capital expenditures totaled $4.0
million for the nine months ending September 30.

     Year-to-date financing activities provided $4.5 million, consisting of net
incremental borrowings of $6.2 million through September 1995 less the year-to-
date dividend payments of $1.8 million.

     On September 29, 1995, the Company established a credit facility with a
group of banks (Corestates Bank, N.A., as agent, Midlantic Bank, N.A. and
Meridian Bank, N.A.) which authorizes Technitrol to borrow up to $50 million on
an unsecured basis.  The Company has used approximately $18 million of the
credit facility to finance existing indebtedness, and approximately $4 million
of the credit facility to partially fund the cash portion of the merger
consideration.  The Company believes that cash generated from operations
together with funds available under the line of credit will be sufficient for
Technitrol's foreseeable cash needs.

Results of Operations

     As noted above, the Company completed its acquisition of Pulse on
September 29, 1995.  Additional financial information regarding the acquisition
of Pulse is included in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements
contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  The Company's Consolidated Statements
of Earnings do not include the results of Pulse, but will for the fourth
quarter of 1995 and beyond.  Pulse's profitability continued to improve during
the most recent quarter, which included positive cash flow and incremental
income on sales of more than $26 million.  Pulse's backlog at September 30,
1995 was $26.1 million.

     For the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994:

     Third quarter 1995 sales decreased slightly to $35,940,000 from
$36,591,000 in the comparable prior year period.  In addition to a slight
decrease in the quarterly sales of the Electronic Products Segment, the
Metallurgical Products Segment experienced softening demand during the second
and third quarters which contributed to the third quarter sales decrease.  In
particular, the domestic markets of Advanced Metallurgy, Inc. ("AMI") began to
soften during the second quarter while third quarter demand for products of
Chace Precision Metals, Inc. ("Chace") also declined.  Quarterly sales of the
End User/Finished Products Segment increased from the 1994 level.  Sales
increases occurred at John Chatillon and Sons, Inc. ("Chatillon") and at Lloyd
Instruments, Ltd. ("Lloyd").  Causes of Chatillon's sales increase included
incremental export sales (which benefited from favorable relationships between
the U.S. dollar and certain foreign currencies) and additive sales of force
measurement products as a result of recent product development efforts.
Lloyd's sales increase included sales in Germany attributable to the Erichsen
product line which was acquired in November 1994.

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

Results of Operations (continued)

     Excluding Pulse, the Company's September backlog was $27.6 million,
compared to $27.1 million at September 30, 1994 and $28.7 million at December
31, 1994.  Third quarter bookings approximated sales for the Electronic
Products Segment, while quarterly sales exceeded bookings for the End
User/Finished Products Segment.  The latter was primarily caused by weak
domestic demand for the currency counters and dispensers of the Products
Division.  Third quarter sales also exceeded bookings for the Metallurgical
Products Segment, particularly at Chace.

     Third quarter 1995 gross profits of the Electronics Products Segment
approximated those of 1994.  Gross profits for the quarter increased within the
Fil-Mag Group while the Components Division experienced a decline.  That
decline was caused by the recent softness in domestic demand for that
Division's products.  Proportionately more profit was earned by certain
offshore entities of the Fil-Mag Group at lower effective tax rates than the
domestic entities within the Segment, more than offsetting the after-tax
decrease in domestic earnings.

     Within the Metallurgical Products Segment, both AMI and Chace experienced
significant decreases in quarterly gross profits versus the comparable prior
year period with the majority of the Segment's gross profit decline occurring
at AMI.  The decline in sales combined with increased price competition and
rapidly escalating raw material costs (particularly in the metals markets),
negatively impacted operations and profitability.  Increased emphasis on
manufacturing efficiencies, overhead reduction and a partial pass through of
raw material cost increases have been instituted by management.  Significant
attention will continue to be placed on this Segment in the near term.

     Third quarter profits improved from year-to-year in the End User/Finished
Products Segment.  Chatillon and Lloyd each earned incremental profits on the
additive sales activity described above.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased to
$7,268,000 or 20.2% of sales as compared to $6,619,000 or 18.1% of sales in the
comparable 1994 period.  Selling and marketing expenses increased due
principally to the increase in sales activity within the End User/Finished
Products Segment.  General and administrative expenses also increased from
year-to-year, with Lloyd incurring incremental expenses associated with the
Erichsen product line.

     Net interest expense increased to $304,000 for the quarter, up from
$210,000 in the comparable prior year period.  The increase reflected interest
paid on $5 million of incremental borrowing which was used during the second
quarter to purchase stock warrants of Pulse.  That debt remained outstanding
through the third quarter.

     The effective tax rate decreased significantly for the quarter, to 25.2%
in 1995 from 37.3% in 1994.  The decrease was caused by proportionately more
taxable income earned by the Company's offshore operating units, including
certain Fil-Mag Group and Lloyd entities, which generally incur lower tax rates
than those experienced by the Company's domestic operations.

     Net earnings of $1,673,000, or $.28 per share, in the third quarter of
1995 compared to $1,884,000, or $.31 per share, earned in the third quarter of
1994.

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

Results of Operations (continued)

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994:

     Sales for the first nine months of 1995 totaled $115.4 million, an
increase of 5.5% over the $109.4 million sold in the comparable period of 1994.
Year-to-date sales increases were realized by the Electronic Products Segment
and the End User/Finished Products Segment, however, a sales decrease occurred
in the Metallurgical Products Segment.  The latter reflected the softening
demand within the markets of AMI and Chace.  The Electronic Products Segment
continued to experience incremental Fil-Mag Group sales in excess of the
current year's decrease in sales of the Components Division.  While that
Division's domestic markets remain weak, the backlog for the overall Segment
remains strong.

     The Electronic Products Segment's improved gross profit for the first nine
months reflected an increase in Fil-Mag Group sales exceeding a decrease in the
sales of the Company's Components Division.  Year-to-date gross profits for the
total Segment increased from prior year levels, as did operating profits.
After tax earnings of the segment benefited from the favorable offshore
effective tax rates of certain entities within the Fil-Mag Group relative to
that of the domestic Components Division.

     The Metallurgical Products Segment's year-to-date sales decreased from the
comparable prior year period due to the decline in shipments of AMI.  While
year-to-date sales increased at Chace, year-to-date gross profits and operating
profits of the Segment declined.  The majority of the decline occurred at AMI,
where the softening demand combined with increased price competition and
rapidly escalating raw material costs (particularly in the metals market during
the third quarter) to negatively impact operations and profitability.

     Year-to-date End User/Finished Products Segment sales increased primarily
as a result of Lloyd's year-to-date shipments exceeding the quantities shipped
during the comparable 1994 period.  A portion of that increase was due to
Lloyd's increased sales in Germany attributable to the November 1994
acquisition of the Erichsen product line.  Profits for this Segment increased
from the comparable prior year period, due principally to Lloyd's overall
profit improvements.

     Total selling, general and administrative expenses of $23.2 million
through September of 1995 increased to 20.2% of sales from 19.1% of sales after
nine months of 1994.  Increased sales resulted in increased selling and
marketing expenses, which rose by approximately $1.7 million for the year-to-
date period.  Separately, Lloyd's general and administrative expenses increased
by approximately $700,000 due to incremental costs associated with greater
levels of business activity plus the Erichsen product line which was acquired
in November 1994.

     Net interest expense increased to $852,000 through September, up from that
of the comparable period year period.  The increase reflected interest paid on
$5 million of incremental borrowing as noted above.

     The year-to-date effective tax rates were 32.3% in 1995 and 38.3% in 1994.
The decrease was caused by proportionately more taxable income earned by the
Company's offshore operating units, including certain Fil-Mag and Lloyd
entities, which generally incur lower tax rates than those experienced by
Technitrol's domestic operating units.

     Net earnings of $5,385,000, or $.89 per share, were realized through
September 1995, as compared with $4,996,000, or $.83 per share, earned during
the same period in 1994.
