Item 2.  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in
Item 1 of this Report as well as the Companys most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Also, several of the matters discussed in this document contain forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward looking
statements are usually denoted by words or phrases such as believes, expects, projects, estimates, anticipates, will likely result, or similar expressions. We wish to caution
readers that all forward looking statements are necessarily speculative and not to place undue reliance on such forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that actual results could vary due to a variety
of risks and uncertainties. Factors associated with the forward looking statements that could cause the forward looking statements to be inaccurate and could otherwise impact our future results are set forth in detail in our most recent annual
report on Form 10-K. In addition to the other information contained in this document, readers should carefully consider the information contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 under the heading Cautionary Statements and
Risk Factors.

Overview

Taitron Components
Incorporated (Taitron or the Company) is a national distributor of electronic components manufactured by others. The Company distributes a wide variety of transistors, diodes and other discrete semiconductors, optoelectronic
devices and passive components to other electronic distributors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and to contract electronic manufacturers (CEMs) who incorporate these devices in their products. In order to meet the rapid delivery
requirements of its customers, the Company maintains a significant inventory of discrete and passive components. The Company distributes over 13,000 different products manufactured by more than 50 different suppliers.

Discrete semiconductors are basic electronic building blocks. One or more different types of discrete semiconductors generally are found in
the electronic or power supply circuitry of such diverse products as automobiles, televisions, radios, telephones, computers, medical equipment, airplanes, industrial robotics and household appliances. The term discrete is used to
differentiate those single function semiconductor products which are packaged alone, such as transistors or diodes, from those which are integrated into microchips and other integrated circuit devices.

The demand for discrete semiconductors in the U.S. market decreased from 1996 through the middle of 1999. From 1999 throughout 2000, demand
had increased as a result of industry wide shortages. The industry wide shortage began to diminish towards the end of 2000 and demand through today has drastically declined. This declining demand has primarily resulted from the accelerated trend of
moving the production capacity of OEM/CEM customers abroad and the consolidation of CEM customers domestically.

The
Companys core strategy includes maintaining a substantial inventory of discrete and passive components purchased at prices generally lower than those commonly available to its competitors. This strategy allows the Company to fill customer
orders immediately from stock held in inventory. Since demand remains weak resulting from an overall economic slowdown and excess product availability, the Company continued to focus on lowering its inventory balances and changing the product mix.
As such, inventory levels decreased throughout the current period from $24,314,000 as of December 31, 2002 to $22,653,000 as of June 30, 2003, including a non-cash provision of approximately $156,000 during the current six month period ending June
30, 2003 to increase the Companys inventory reserves. Since demand continued to be weak throughout the current period, the Company expects to continue lowering inventory balances throughout 2003.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management has classified inventory as a current asset.
However, if all or a substantial portion of the inventory was required to be immediately liquidated, the inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included or classified as a current asset, such as cash.

Our gross profit margins in general have been stable or slightly increased mainly because our purchasing price decrease more than
offset the selling price erosion in the down market. Our gross profit margins are subject to a number of factors, including product demand, a strong US dollar, manufacturers price protection programs, our

ability to purchase inventory at favorable prices and our sales product mix, all of which could adversely impact margins. There are no assurances that demand in the discrete
semiconductor market will increase and that market conditions will improve. Therefore, its possible that further declines in our carrying values of inventory could result.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing statements are forward looking and are necessarily speculative. There can be no guarantee that a
recovery in the discrete semiconductor market will take place. Also, if prices of components held in our inventory decline or if new technology is developed that displaces products distributed by us and held in inventory, our business could be
materially adversely affected.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use Of Estimates - Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These estimates have a significant impact on the
Companys valuation and reserve accounts relating to the allowance for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise. Reserves for sales allowances and customer returns are
established based upon historical experience and managements estimates of future returns. Sales returns for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $71,000 and $57,000, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
aggregated to $117,000 and $151,000, respectively. The allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were $155,000 and $135,000, respectively. The Company reviews the actual sales returns and bad debts for
its customers and establishes an estimate of future returns and allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory - Inventory,
consisting principally of products held for resale, is recorded at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out method) or estimated market value. The Company had inventory balances in the amounts of $22,653,000 and $24,314,000 at June
30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, which are presented net of valuation allowances of $1,388,000 and $1,083,000 at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The Company evaluates inventories to identify excess, high cost,
slow-moving, or other factors rendering inventories as unmarketable at normal profit margins. For inventories supplied under franchise agreements, the Company relies upon its contractual rights to receive compensation for price differences caused by
market fluctuations. Due to the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing and maintaining a large inventory of product offerings, estimates are made regarding adjustments to the cost of inventories. Based on our assumptions about
future demand and market conditions, inventories are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value. If our assumptions about future demand change, and/or market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of
inventories may be required. In any case, actual amounts could be different from those estimated.

Deferred Taxes 
The Company reviews the nature of each component of its deferred income taxes for an assessment of future realization. The Company has reserved for a portion of its deferred income tax assets, as management could not determine that it was more
likely than not such assets would be realized.

Revolving Line of Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2003, the Company has completed the repayment of this revolving line of credit facility. This credit facility originally
matured on December 31, 2002, with the bank also previously indicating that no further borrowings would be made available.

Results of Operations

Three month Period Ended June 30, 2003 Compared To The Three month Period Ended June
30, 2002.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $2,324,000, compared with $3,579,000 for the same
period last year, a decrease of $1,255,000 or 35.1%. The decrease is primarily due to an industry-wide decrease in demand for discrete and passive and semiconductor components.

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 decreased to $1,594,000 from $2,645,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of
$1,051,000 or 39.7%. Consistent with the decrease in net sales, cost of goods sold decreased, however at a faster rate, resulting in gross profit increasing as a percentage of net sales to 31.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from 26.1% for the
same period last year. Gross profit decreased by $204,000 to $730,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $934,000 for the same period in 2002. Included with cost of sales are provisions for inventory reserves of $81,000 and $75,000 during the
quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
decreased by $400,000 or 34.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to cost cutting measures consistently implemented during the last twelve months. As a result,
personnel-related expenses decreased by $250,000, with no other individual item significantly impacting the change during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The corresponding average employee base declined by 12 employees, which represents a 28%
reduction in overall workforce. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A remained consistently 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Operating losses were $38,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $234,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in
operating losses results from the increase in gross profit margin and from the decrease in SG&A expenses, as discussed above.

Interest expense, net of interest income, for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 decreased by $16,000 compared to the same period last year. The
decrease is primarily due to lower outstanding borrowing levels incurred during the current quarter, when compared to the same period last year.

No income tax provision or benefit was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as compared to an income tax provision of $452,000 for
the same period last year.

Net loss was $92,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to a net loss of $743,000
for the same period last year.

Six month Period Ended June 30, 2003 Compared To The Six month Period Ended June 30, 2002.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $5,479,000 compared with net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $7,285,000,
a decrease of $1,806,000 or 24.8%. The decrease is primarily due to an industry wide decrease in demand for discrete semiconductors.

Cost of goods sold decreased by $1,546,000 to $3,782,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 29% from the same period in
2002. Consistent with the decrease in net sales, cost of goods sold decreased, however at a faster rate, resulting in gross profit increasing as a percentage of net sales to 31% for the first six months of this year from 26.9% for the same period
last year. Gross profit decreased by $260,000 to $1,697,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $1,957,000 for the same period in 2002. Also contributing to the decrease in gross profit was a provision for inventory reserves of $156,000 and
$265,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

SG&A expenses decreased by $747,000 or
31.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to cost cutting measures consistently implemented during the last twelve months. As a result, personnel-related expenses
decreased by $486,000, with no other

individual item significantly impacting the change during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The corresponding average employee base declined by 12 employees, which represents a 28%
reduction in overall workforce. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 29.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 32.5% for the same period last year.

Operating income was $80,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to an operating loss of $407,000 for the same period ended
June 30, 2002. The operating loss decreased primarily due to the cost cutting measures, as discussed above.

Interest
expense, net of interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased by $32,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease is primarily due to lower outstanding borrowing levels incurred during the current quarter, when
compared to the same period last year.

No income tax provision or benefit was recorded during the six months ended June
30, 2003, as compared to an income tax provision of $437,000 for the same period last year.

Net loss was $86,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $936,000 for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $850,000 resulting from the same reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

We have satisfied our liquidity requirements principally through cash generated from operations, short-term
commercial loans, subordinated promissory notes and issuance of equity securities. A summary of our cash flows resulting from our operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are as
follows:

|                       |                           |  |             |        |   |   |        |  
|---------------------- | ------------------------- |  | ----------- | ------ | - | - | ------ | -
|                       | Six months ended June 30, | 
|(Dollars in thousands) | 2003                      |  | 2002        |       
|                       | (Unaudited)               |  | (Unaudited) |       
|Operating activities   |                           |  | $           | 2,400  |   | $ | 1,144  |  
|Investing activities   |                           |  |             | (14    | ) |   | (175   | )
|Financing activities   |                           |  |             | (2,054 | ) |   | (1,027 | )

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased to
$2,400,00 during the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to $1,144,000 during the same period last year. The change is primarily due to a decrease in inventory of $1,505,000 during the first six months of 2003, as compared to a decrease of
$330,000 during the same period last year. Additionally, the overall increase in operating cash flow was affected by a decrease in accounts receivable of $523,000 during the first six months of 2003, as compared to an increase of $498,000 during the
same period last year. The Companys ability to continue generating cash from operations is dependent upon using its current inventory (as opposed to new purchases of inventory) for generating sales, collection of its receivables and extended
payments of accounts payables.

Cash flows used in investing activities was $14,000 during the six months ended June 30,
2003 compared to $175,000 during the same period last year. Cash flows from investing activities may change significantly in the following three months due to the probable sale of one of the Companys buildings (see Subsequent Events
below).

Cash flows used in financing activities increased to $2,054,000 from $1,027,000 during the six months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Inventory is included in current assets, however, it may take over one year for the
inventory to turn and therefore may not be saleable within a one-year time frame. Hence, inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included in current assets, such as cash.

We believe that funds generated from operations and issuance of debt or equity securities will be sufficient to finance our working capital
and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future or until principal payments are due under the outstanding subordinated notes.

|Item 3. | Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2003, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule
13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be included in the Companys Exchange Act filings.

There have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date
the Company carried out its evaluation.
