EDISON CONTROL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 -  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instruction 
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do 
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally 
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In 
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, 
recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three month period ending 
April 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that 
may be expected for the year ended January 31, 1998.  For further 
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes 
thereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended January 31, 1997.


Note 2 -  Nature of Business and Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements 
include the accounts of Edison Control Corporation ("Edison") and 
subsidiaries, all of which subsidiaries are wholly owned by Edison
(collectively, the "Company").  All material intercompany accounts 
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations - The Company is currently comprised of four 
operating units.  Construction Forms ("ConForms") is  a leading 
manufacturer and distributor of systems of pipes, couplings and hoses 
and other equipment used for the pumping of concrete.  ConForms 
manufactures a wide variety of finished products which are used to 
create appropriate configurations of systems for various concrete 
pumps.  Ultra Tech manufactures abrasion resistant piping systems for 
use in industries such as mining, pulp and papaer, power and waste
treatment. Gilco produces a line of concrete and plaster/mortar mixers.
JABCO primarily leases property and equipment to Ultra Tech.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates 
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Translation of Foreign Currencies - Assets and liabilities of foreign 
operations are translated into United States dollars at current exchange 
rates.  Income and expense accounts are translated into United States 
dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year.  
Adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements of 
the foreign operations are included as foreign currency translation 
adjustments in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated 
balance sheets.

Net (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share and Common Share Equivalents - Net 
(loss) earnings per common share and common share equivalents is computed 
based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common share 
equivalents (stock options and warrants) outstanding during the year.  
Common share equivalents from dilutive stock options and warrants were 
calculated using the treasury stock method.  Common share equivalents 
(stock options and warrants) are antidilutive for the period ended April 
30, 1997.

Accounting Pronouncements - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" was issued in 
1995.  The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based 
compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 as allowed 
by SFAS No. 123.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".  The Company is currently in the process 
of evaluating the accounting and disclosure effects of the Statement, 
which is required to be adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Condition

On June 21, 1996, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding 
stock of Construction Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries for an aggregate cash 
consideration of approximately $20,550,000.  The acquisition was accounted 
for as a purchase transaction with the purchase price allocated to the fair 
value of specific assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Accordingly, 
the results of operations have been included since the date of the 
acquisition.  Resultant goodwill is being amortized over 40 years.

Net sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 increased  $5,446,120 
to $5,707,231 when compared with the same period of the prior year.  
The increase is attributable to the inclusion of the results of operations 
of the acquired companies.  Construction Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries net 
sales for the quarter ended increased 6.3% from $5,368,988 to $5,707,231 
due to increased domestic volume at ConForms and Ultra Tech.

As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin for the quarter 
increased to 36.3% from 26.0%.  Selling, general and administrative 
expenses for the quarter were $1,130,771 compared to $186,011 for the 
prior year.  These increases are primarily attributable to the inclusion 
of the results of operations of the acquired companies.  Gross profit 
percent of Construction Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries increased to 36.3% 
from 30.1% due to better pricing on Ultra Tech sales.  Selling, engineering 
and administrative expenses of the acquired companies decreased to $990,502
compared to $1,216,802 for the same period last year.  This was mainly due 
to the decrease in personnel wages and benefits from the quarter ended 
April 30, 1996.  

Interest expense increased to $276,498 for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 
compared to $0 for the quarter ended April 30, 1996.  This change related 
to the debt incurred on the acquisition.

The net loss on trading securities of $632,588 compared to last year's net 
gain of $501,355 accounts for the major change in pre-tax income.  A major 
reason for the decrease was related to the decline in the market value of 
Glenayre Technologies, Inc.

The amortization of  goodwill, financing costs, stock options and stock 
warrants created a total non-cash charge of $514,033 for the quarter 
compared to $0 for the prior quarter.
 
The Company recorded a tax benefit of $179,960 for the three months ended 
April 30, 1997, which represents the estimated annual effective rate of 
36.5% applied to pre-tax book income.  Deferred income taxes reflect the 
net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of 
assets and liabilities for financial statement reporting purposes and the 
amounts used for income tax purposes.

The net loss of $313,765, or $.14 per share, for the first quarter of 1997 
was a decrease of $536,247, compared to net income of $222,482, or $.10 
per share, for the comparable period of the prior year.  This change is 
principally due to the net loss on trading securities and the amortization 
of the non-cash charges described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generated $841,290 in cash from operations during the first 
three months of 1997.  The Company used $100,493 in cash to acquire capital 
equipment and $779,217 in cash to pay back long-term debt.  The result was 
a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $2,765 for the first quarter 
compared to a net increase of $670,200 in last year's quarter.  The 
difference is attributable to the change in the balance sheet composition 
as a result of the acquisition.

The Company believes that it can fund proposed capital expenditures and 
operational requirements from operations and currently available cash, 
cash equivalents, investments and existing bank credit lines.  Proposed 
capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year 1997 are expected 
to total approximately $400,000.

Additionally, at April 30, 1997, the Company's current ratio was 3.7:1.  
At January 31, 1997, the current ratio was 3.9:1.  Required minimum 
principal payments for the year are approximately $869,000.
