SUTRON CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 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.

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

Results of Operations

Net Revenues.  The Company's revenues for the three months
 ended March 31, 1999 increased 40% to $2,535,190 from $1,809,749 
in 1998 due to increased revenues from sales of products and 
services.  The Company carried a larger backlog into 1999 
than into the prior year and had record bookings for the first
quarter of 1999.  Sales of the 8210 datalogger product line were
significantly higher than the prior year.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for 1999 increased to $1,006,118 from
$701,261 in 1998.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues 
for 1999 increased to 40% as compared to 39% in 1998.  The 
increase in the Company's gross margin as a percentage of sales
is attributed to increased sales volume and to increased sales
of standard products which carry higher margins than services.

Selling, General And Administrative.  Selling, general 
and administrative expenses increased to $606,436 in 1999 
from $480,951 in 1998, an increase of $125,485. These expenses
decreased as a percentage of revenues to 24% in 1999 from
27% in 1998.  Both general and administrative expenses and
selling expenses increased due to sales and administrative
personnel increases.

Research And Development.  Research and development expenses
increased 12% to $228,378 in 1999 from $202,240 in 1998, an
increase of $26,138.  The Company has hired three new R&D
engineers in the last nine months in an effort to expand its
R&D activities and decrease development times.

Interest Expenses.  Interest expenses decreased to $11,135 in 1999
from $13,802 in 1998 as a result of the company's reduced 
borrowings on the line of credit.

The Company's backlog of orders at March 31, 1999 was 
$3,428,523.  The Company anticipates that 90% of its 
March backlog will be shipped in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $166,910 at March 31, 1999, 
compared to $76,204 at December 31, 1998.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 as of 
March 31, 1999, compared to 2.1 as of December 31, 1998.  Working 
capital increased $39,387 to $2,756,241 at the end of the first
 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.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

The Company's current line of products is year 2000 ready.  In addition,
The Company has made available to its customers year 2000 information
Concerning its products, services and support.  The Company's suppliers
Have been contacted and have informed us that they are compliant.  The
Company's Information Systems group has reviewed the critical 
Applications and has identified no significant problems.

The Company has determined its worst case scenario as being the 
Development of service or product supply difficulities by 
Business and critical suppliers.  There can be no assurance that the
Systems or products of other companies on which the Company's 
Systems rely will be timely converted or that any such failure to
Convert by a vendor, customer or another company would not have
An adverse effect.
