ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         This statement is being filed by Peter B. Caloyeras, the beneficial
owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of
the 198,900 shares to which this statement relates. Mr. Caloyeras acquired
shares of common stock of the Company from time-to-time commencing in September
1994 as follows: (i) Mr. Caloyeras purchased 109,900 shares originally in the
name of the Caloyeras 1982 Revocable Trust (the "Trust") of which Mr. Caloyeras
is the sole trustee and the beneficial owner, (ii) 13,000 shares were acquired
by his individual retirement account (the "IRA"), and (iii) 70,100 shares were
acquired by the Caloyeras Family Partnership, a California Limited Partnership
("CFP") of which the three adult children of Mr. Caloyeras are the limited
partners equally and the general partner of which is PBC, Inc., a California
corporation of which Mr. Caloyeras is the sole shareholder and president. In
late 1996, (i) the Trust sold all of its 109,900 shares in the Company's common
stock to CFP, and (ii) CFP purchased an additional 18,900 shares on the open
market. On about December 31, 1997, the IRA transferred 4,000 of its shares to
four nieces and nephews of Mr. Caloyeras and its remaining 9,000 shares equally
to each of Mr. Caloyeras' three adult children. The principal business of CFP is
real estate and equipment leasing, while the principal business of PBC is to act
as the general partner of CFP. The business address of each of Mr. Caloyeras,
CFP and PBC is 2041 W. 139th Street, Gardena, California 90249. Mr. Caloyeras is
the Chairman of Magnetika, Inc. ("Magnetika"), an electrical component

         Mr. Caloyeras acquired the securities with funds from his personal bank
account or the accounts of the Trust or CFP, as the case may be.

         On July 24, 1998, Caloyeras, Inc., d/b/a Electronika, Inc., an entity
which is owned equally by the three adult children of Mr. Caloyeras, executed a

represents the parties' intention to negotiate in good faith a definitive merger
agreement providing for the forward triangular merger of a subsidiary of the
Company with Caloyeras, Inc., with Caloyeras, Inc. as the surviving entity. As a
result of the contemplated transaction, (i) Mr. Caloyeras would be allowed to
vote 525,165 shares of common stock of the Company owned by the family of the
Company's founder, which shares would be placed in a voting trust or similar

for purposes of conducting a due diligence review and confirming their
understandings as to the status of each other's business, assets and related
liabilities. In connection therewith, the parties and their respective
representatives will be promptly introduced to, and thereafter permitted to
contact and communicate with, upon prior notice to and consent of each other
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the
other's officers, employees and agents.

         3. DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS. The parties will proceed diligently and in
good faith to negotiate, execute and deliver the Definitive Agreements, subject
in all respects to (i) the approval of the parties hereto, (ii) verification of
legal and factual issues deemed relevant by the parties, (iii) receipt of
requisite regulatory and other third party approvals and consents and (iv) the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent described in the Proposed Terms Sheet.

agreements and covenants, conditions and indemnification provisions as are
customarily found in agreements for a transaction of the size, type and
complexity contemplated by this Proposal.

         4. EXPENSES. Each party will bear its own respective costs and expenses
in connection with the proposed transaction, including without limitation the
negotiation and preparation of this Proposal, the negotiation and drafting of
the Definitive Agreements, financial advisory fees, finders fees and the
obtaining of all regulatory and other approvals or consents.

of the parties only and is subject to due diligence review and to the other
terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as expressly set forth in

                                 (JULY 24, 1998)

BUYER:                   Torotel, Inc. ("TTL")

SELLER(S):               Caloyeras, Inc. (dba Electronika, Inc.) which will
                         include the business and assets operating under the
                         name of Magnetika/East. ("Target")

PROPOSED
TRANSACTION:             A newly created subsidiary of TTL will merge with the
                         Target in a Forward Triangular Merger (as a tax free

                         Target being the surviving entity. The Target will own
                         all business assets of Caloyeras, Inc. (dba
                         Electronika, Inc.) including the business and assets
                         operating under the name of Magnetika/East free and
                         clear of all liens and encumbrances, except for
                         accruals and payables incurred in the normal course of
                         business. TTL will exchange (1) 1,800,000 shares of
                         TTL's common stock and (2) $2,500,000 of TTL's new
                         Class A Preferred Stock (5%, Cumulative,
                         non-participating Preferred, callable at 110%, escrowed
                         - see below) for 100% of the outstanding stock of
                         Target.

PRICE:                   The value of the Common Stock (1,800,000 X $.75 =
                         $1,350,000) plus the $2,500,000 in Preferred Stock
                         [escrowed - see below] equals a total purchase price
                         for Target of Three Million, Eight Hundred Fifty
                         Thousand Dollars ($3,850,000).

EARNINGS
PROTECTION:              In order to protect the shareholders of TTL, the
                         operations of Target will be accounted separately for
                         the balance of the fiscal year of closing plus three
                         full fiscal years after the year in which the closing
                         occurs ("Escrow Period"). At closing, the $2,500,000 of
                         Preferred Stock will be placed in escrow subject to the
                         performance of Target during the Escrow Period. At the
                         end of each fiscal year in Escrow Period, the Preferred
                         Stock will be released from escrow as follows:

                           A.       The amount of EBIT-DA generated by Target,
                                    after the merger, during each fiscal year,
                                    will be calculated and verified by the
                                    independent auditors.

                           B.       For each One Dollar ($1) of EBIT-DA
                                    calculated in (A) One Dollar ($1) of
                                    Preferred Stock will be released from escrow
                                    within 30 days following the independent
                                    auditors verification of the calculation.



<PAGE>   4


                           C.       After final year end of the Escrow Period,
                                    any Preferred Stock remaining in escrow,
                                    will be returned to TTL and canceled.
REPS &
WARRANTIES:              In the definitive agreements, both parties will make
                         normal and customary Representations and Warranties for
                         a transaction of this type. In addition, Target will
                         warrant that they will own at least Four Hundred
                         Thousand Dollars ($400,000) of Cash, Accounts
                         Receivable, Inventory, Work In Process and Deposits, in
                         excess of liabilities, at the time of closing. Within
                         twelve months after closing, any amount of assets at
                         closing that are determined to have been worthless or
                         any liability of Target that was not disclosed, will
                         reduce EBITDA for purposes of the calculation of the
                         amount of Preferred Stock to be released from escrow.

VOTING
