              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 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
in the Company's Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Reclassifications

     Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

(2)  Acquisitions and Divestitures
     -----------------------------
     On September 29, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of
Pulse Engineering, Inc. ("Pulse"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated 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 manufacturing operations in the People's
Republic of China, Taiwan, the Philippines and Ireland, designs,
manufactures and markets electronic components and modules primarily
for manufacturers of local area networks and telecommunications
systems.

     The total purchase price approximated $61.5 million and consisted
of cash due to the former Pulse stockholders, stock issued to the
former Pulse stockholders, stock options assumed, and related
acquisition costs.  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 is being amortized over 15 years.  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 Components Segment of the
Company.

     Approximately 1,785,000 shares of Technitrol common stock at a
then fair market value of $16.375 per share were issued to former
holders of Pulse common stock.  The cash portion of the purchase
price, including cash paid to the former stockholders of Pulse and
related acquisition costs, was approximately $27.6 million.  In
addition, all outstanding options to purchase Pulse common stock were
assumed by the Company.  Approximately 269,000 shares of Technitrol
common stock became issuable upon exercise of such options.  Except
for approximately 33,000 options which were not vested at the
acquisition date, all assumed options became immediately 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 acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting.  Had Pulse been acquired on January 1, 1995, unaudited
consolidated pro forma results of operations of the Company would have

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

     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

Products Division to an unrelated party.  As a result of the sale, the
Company discontinued its production and marketing of document counters
and dispensers, the sales of which approximated $4.9 million in 1995.
The consideration received approximated $3.7 million and the pre-tax
gain of approximately $1.5 million that was realized on the sale
(after recognition of related costs and expenses) was included in
operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

(4)  Supplemental Disclosure of Non-cash Transactions
     ------------------------------------------------
     During the six months ending June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company
issued to employees stock pursuant to the Company's Restricted Stock
Plan having a fair value of $555,000 and $406,000, respectively.

(5)  Restructuring Charges
     ---------------------
     Restructuring and related costs are recognized in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)."
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company initiated a
restructuring plan aimed at reducing the costs of manufacturing within
its Electronics Components Segment.  Accordingly, reserves were
established for employee separation costs related to the relocation of
a majority of the production capacity of the Company's production
facility in Taiwan to the Company's production facility in the
Philippines. Charges of $1,950,000 are included in selling, general
and administrative expenses for the second quarter, including payments
made to terminated employees during the quarter of $1,137,000.  The
remaining reserve of $813,000 will be used for separation costs to be
paid during the second half of 1996.  The employees involved in the
plan are primarily direct production workers in Taiwan.  A limited
number of indirect employees are also involved.  A total of 121 direct
and 12 indirect employees were terminated during the second quarter.
Approximately 160 additional employees have been notified of the
restructuring plan and will be terminated and paid during the second
half of 1996.
