NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 1997


The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, the accompanying financial statements include all
adjustments which are normal, recurring and necessary to present
fairly the results for the interim periods.  Operating results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Spectrum Control, Inc. and Subsidiaries annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1996.

Note 1 - Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the
accounts of Spectrum Control, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
Company), all of which are wholly-owned, except for Spectrum
Polytronics, Inc. which is 96% owned.  To facilitate timely
reporting, the fiscal quarters of a foreign subsidiary are based
upon a fiscal year which ends October 31.  All significant
intercompany accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.

Note 2 - Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are
translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates.  Revenue
and expense accounts of these operations are translated at
average exchange rates prevailing during the period.  These
translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component
of stockholders  equity.  Foreign currency transaction gains and
losses are included in determining net income for the period in
which the exchange rate changes.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period of computation.  Although the Company has issued
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents in the form of
stock options, the dilutive effect of these securities in the
aggregate is less than three percent of earnings per common
share. 

Results of Operations

Net sales decreased 8% during the period, with consolidated net
sales of $12.7 million in 1997 and $13.9 million in 1996. 
Customer orders during the fourth quarter of 1996 were soft,
amounting to $11.8 million.  This softening of customer orders, 


<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



particularly from telecommunication customers, resulted in lower
shipments for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Customer orders 
received during the first thirteen weeks of fiscal 1997, however,
increased to $14.1 million.  As a result, Management believes
shipment levels will increase during the second quarter of 1997.

Gross margin was $3.7 million or 29% of sales in 1997, compared
to $4.3 million or 31% of sales in 1996.  The decrease in gross
margin primarily reflects the impact of fixed manufacturing
overhead and lower shipment levels.

As a percentage of sales, selling expense remained constant
during the period at 11%, with total selling expense of $1.5
million in 1997 and $1.6 million in 1996.  General and
administrative expense decreased during the period, amounting  to
$1.2 million or 10% of sales during the first quarter of 1997,
compared to $1.5 million or 11% of sales for the comparable
period of 1996.  The decrease in general and administrative
expense primarily reflects reduced expenses associated with the
implementation of the Company's Rapid Response program.  Although
Rapid Response will continue to be implemented throughout 1997
and 1998, the expenses associated with the program were
principally incurred by the Company during fiscal 1996 in the
form of consulting fees and employee education.  Accordingly,
Management expects that overall general and administrative
expense in 1997 will be lower than fiscal 1996 levels.

Interest expense decreased by $72,000 during the period, from
$202,000 in 1996 to $130,000 in 1997.  The decrease in interest
expense primarily reflects reduced bank indebtedness.  Overall
average interest rates remained stable throughout the period.

The Company's effective income tax rate also was constant at 28%
for the first thirteen weeks of fiscal 1997 and 1996.


Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

The Company has a $6.0 million line of credit with PNC Bank of
Erie, Pennsylvania (the  Bank ).  Prior to March 18, 1997,
borrowings and required payments under the revolving credit line
were based upon an asset formula involving accounts receivable
and inventories.  On March 18, 1997, the line of credit agreement
was renewed through April 30, 1999.  Under the terms of the
renewal, borrowings under the line of credit are no longer
limited by an asset formula.  The revolving credit line is
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's tangible and
intangible property, with current interest rates on borrowings
below the Bank's prevailing prime rate.  At February 28, 1997,
the Company had borrowed $1.7 million under this financing
arrangement.




<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


The Company's wholly-owned foreign subsidiary maintains unsecured
Deutsche Mark lines of credit with German financial institutions
aggregating $1.2 million (2.0 million DM).  At  February 28,
1997, the Company had borrowed $334,000 (551,000 DM) against
these lines of credit.  Borrowings under the lines of credit
currently bear interest at rates below the prevailing prime rate
and are payable upon demand.

The Company's working capital continued to increase during the
period.  At February 28, 1997, the Company had net working
capital of $13.4 million, compared to $12.5 million at November
30, 1996.  The Company's current ratio also improved during the
first thirteen weeks of fiscal 1997, with current assets at 2.51
times current liabilities at February 28, 1997 and 2.20 at
November 30, 1996.

As a result of improved accounts receivable and inventory
turnover rates, net cash from operations increased significantly
during the period.  During the first thirteen weeks of fiscal
1997, net cash provided by operations amounted to $1.9 million,
an increase of $1.0 million from the comparable period of 1996. 
With the ongoing implementation of the Company's Rapid Response
program, Management anticipates that inventory turnover rates
will continue to improve throughout 1997.

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company's cash expenditures
for property, plant and equipment amounted to $587,000.  These
capital expenditures primarily related to operating improvements
and manufacturing equipment for new product offerings, including
resonator and band pass filter products.  During the first
thirteen weeks of 1997, the Company also repaid $1.3 million of
bank indebtedness.  Current financial resources, including
working capital and existing lines of credit, and anticipated
funds from operations are expected to be sufficient to meet cash
requirements throughout 1997, including scheduled long-term debt
repayment and planned capital expenditures.  


Forward-Looking Information

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations includes forward-looking statements which
reflect Management's current views with respect to future
shipment and operating expense levels, inventory turnover rates,
and ongoing cash requirements.  These forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those
identified below, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical results or those anticipated.  The
words believe, expect, anticipate and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not 





<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  The
following factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical results or those anticipated:  (1) increased
price competition in the Company's marketplace; (2) technology
advances effecting the demand for the Company's products; (3)
other changes in market demand, particularly among telecommu-
nications customers; (4) market acceptance and penetration for
the Company's new product offerings; (5) changes in the overall
economic climate; (6) operating cost fluctuations and
availability of raw materials; and (7) unplanned capital
replacement or expansion.
