SUTRON CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1999


1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements, which should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements of Sutron Corporation ("the Company") included
in the 1998 Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB, are unaudited but have
 been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of providing
information with respect to the interim period.  The Company believes that all
adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation for such periods have been included.

2.  Earnings Per Share

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 which establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) for entities
 with publicly held common stock.  The standard requires
presentation  of two categories of earning per share, basic EPS
 and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for
the year.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
 issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings
of the Company.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Second Quarter 1999 Compared to 1998

Net Revenues.  Sutron Corporation revenues for the
fiscal quarters ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 were
$3,058,634 and $2,084,978, respectively (an increase of 47%).
The Company had strong bookings for the 8210 Data
Recorder with a GOES Satellite Transmitter.

Gross Profit.  The Company's gross profit for the quarter
 ended June 30, 1999 increased 87% to $1,391,374 from $746,007
 for June 30, 1998.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased
 to 45.5% from 35.8%.  Gross profits increased in 1999 due to strong
sales of the 8210 Data Recorder with a GOES Satellite Transmitter
 and to reduced manufacturing costs of the 8210's.  The prior year's
 margins were hurt by increased indirect labor and expenses relating
 to the opening of a new customer support facility in Boise, Idaho
 and lower sales volume.

Selling, General And Administrative.  Selling, general and
 administrative costs increased $100,942 to $609,568 for the quarter
 ended June 30, 1999 from $508,626 for 1998.  The increase is due
 to increased sales and marketing expenses by the Integrated Services
Division, the addition of a network supervisor and increased
General and administrative expenses.

Research And Development.  Research and development
expenses decreased 3% to $241,991 in the quarter ended June 30,
 1999 from $250,136 in the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  The
Company reduced its use of subcontractors in 1999 as compared
to the prior year and added three new engineers who were
not on staff during the first half of 1998.

In 1998, the Company sold its 4.2 acre lot in the Loudoun
Tech Center for $700,000.  The land was  originally purchased
 for $1,219,792 in October 1986.  An additional $80,518
was spent on architectural drawings.  The
 loss of approximately $600,000 on the sale resulted in a
deferred tax benefit of $230,000 as of June 30, 1998 which
 tax benefit reduced income tax expenses.  At June 30, 1998
 the Company wrote the land up from its book value of $493,000
 resulting in a gain of $206,106.

Six months ended June 30, 1999 Compared to 1998

Revenues.  The Company's revenues for the six months ended
 June 30, 1999 increased 44% to $5,593,824 from revenues
of $3,894,727 in 1998 due to increased sales of the
8210 Data Recorder/Transmitter product line.  The US
Geological Survey placed two orders totaling $1,912,000
for the 8210 Data Recorder with a GOES transmitter during
the first six months.  The 8210's are to replace older
units which are being retired by the US Geological
Survey.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for 1999 increased to $2,397,492
 from $1,447,268 in 1998.  Gross margin as a percentage of
revenues for 1999 increased to 42.9% as compared to 37.2%
in 1998.  The increase in the Company's gross margin as a
percentage of sales is attributed to the increased sales volume
of $1,699,097 and to reduced manufacturing costs of the 8210's.

Selling, General and Administrative.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses  increased to $1,215,960 in 1999 from
$989,577 in 1998, an increase of $226,383 due to increased
 sales and marketing activities by the Integrated Services
Division, the addition of a network supervisor and increased
general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development.  Research and development
 expenses increased 4% to $470,413 in 1999 from $452,376
in 1998, an increase of $18,037. The Company reduced its
use of subcontractors in 1999 as compared to the prior
year and added three new engineers who were not on staff
during the first half of 1998.

Other Income.  A joint venture between Sutron and Virginia
Energy Services was started on February 27, 1998 to
sell remote monitoring systems of backup power generators.
Due to slow sales, Sutron bought out Virginia Energy Services as
of December 31, 1998 for approximately $4,500.  Expenses relating
to the joint venture were $7,682 in 1999 and $19,379 in 1998.

In 1998, The Company sold its 4.2 acre lot in the Loudoun Tech
Center for $700,000.  The land was originally
purchased for $1,219,792 in October 1986.  An additional
$80,518 was spent on architectural drawings.  The loss of
approximately $600,000 on the sale resulted in a deferred tax
benefit of $230,000 as of June 30, 1998 which tax benefit reduced
income tax expenses.  At June 30, 1998 the Company wrote
the land up from its book value of $493,000 resulting in a
gain of $206,106.

Backlog.  The Company's backlog of orders at June 30, 1999 was
approximately $3,448,000.  The Company anticipates that 90%
of its June backlog will be shipped in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $85,254 at June 30, 1999,
compared to $76,204 at December 31, 1998.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 as of
June 30, 1999, compared to 2.1 as of December 31, 1998.  Working
capital increased $380,316 to $3,097,170 at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $2,716,854 at the end of fiscal 1998.

Management believes internally generated funds and short-term
 borrowings on our existing credit line will provide adequate resources
 for supporting operations during the remainder of fiscal 1999.
