                    POLYPHASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996


1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

   The Company is a diversified holding company that, through its subsidiaries,
   operates in three industry segments: the forestry segment, which distributes,
   leases and provides financing for commercial and industrial timber and
   logging equipment; the transformer segment, which manufactures and markets
   electronic transformers, inductors and filters; and the food processing
   segment, which produces high quality entrees, plated meals, soups, sauces and
   poultry, meat and fish specialties.
 
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
   its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and
   transactions are eliminated.

   The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
   without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
   Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
   included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles have been  condensed or omitted pursuant to
   such rules and regulations.  The Company  believes that the disclosures are
   adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The information
   presented reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
   adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
   statement of results for the interim periods when read in conjunction with
   the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
   latest financial statements filed as part of Form 10-K.
 
3. LIQUIDITY

   The Company has not complied with certain covenants involving most of its
   loan agreements, including covenants that restrict transactions with
   affiliates and which require the filing of audited financial statements for
   the Company and its subsidiaries on a timely basis. (See Note 5) As a result,
   the Company's debt has been classified as current as of December 31, 1996.

   The Company is in the process of negotiating a transaction involving Overhill
   that the Company expects will resolve the Rice lawsuit and improve the
   Company's overall debt structure, but there can be no assurances that such
   transaction will be consummated.  Upon completion of the transaction, the
   Company believes it will be able to negotiate with the remaining debt holders
   and obtain waivers to the covenant violations that exist.  As such, the
   Company expects that it will be able to meet it liquidity requirements.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   During January 1996, the Company reached an agreement in principle to manage
   a project to develop and build a multi-purpose sports facility in Las Vegas,
   Nevada. The project is being developed by PLY Stadium Partners, Inc.
   ("Stadium Partners"), a private investment firm headed by Mr. Paul A. Tanner,
   Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As part of the
   transaction, the Company is also to participate in the facility's management,
   sales of suites and seat options, concessions and events and is to be
   compensated for such services. The Company has provided $4 million of debt,
   bearing interest at 12%, to Stadium Partners. The debt is (1) convertible
   into a 14% economic interest in the project and (2) is guaranteed by Mr.
   Tanner and Pyrenees, a private investment firm headed by Mr. Tanner.
 
   On November 15, 1996, Stadium Partners, through a newly-formed partnership,
   purchased  62 acres in Las Vegas for the development of the stadium and
   adjacent convention facility. Financing was provided by Lehman Brothers
   Holdings, Inc. ("Lehman") through a partnership, Nevada Stadium Partners
   Limited Partnership ("Nevada Partnership") with Lehman as the lender
   receiving an equity interest in the project.

   The Company has guaranteed the repayment of the loan from Lehman to the
   partnership in the above mentioned transaction, upon the occurrence of
   certain events. Such guarantee is effective upon the occurrence of certain
   conditions, including without limitation if the Partnership files for
   bankruptcy or insolvency, if representation by the Partnership proves to be
   fraudulent regarding the financial condition of the Borrower, the land
   securing the loan is further encumbered or ownership transferred without the
   consent of Lehman.

   In January 1997, the Company further advanced Stadium Partners $4.9 million.
   The funds advanced consisted of $2.4 million, drawn from an existing line of
   credit, and $2.5 million from a six month term note.  The term note bears
   interest at 16%, is payable monthly and is secured by a second lien on the
   Company's headquarters.  As additional collateral, the  Company agreed to
   issue an option on 500,000 shares of Series A-2 preferred stock (convertible
   into 1,000,000 shares of common stock) which is exercisable upon default of
   certain covenants of the agreement.

   In connection with the aforementioned transaction, the Company in January
   1997 entered into a two year consulting agreement with a principal of the
   lender. In consideration of the agreement, the Company issued an option to
   purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per share.

   During the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, the Company accrued
   management and service revenues of $2,550,000 and interest income of $790,000
   related to the Company's activities with Stadium Partners, the collectibility
   of which is dependent upon the success of the project and/or the guarantees
   referred to above. As a result of the financing described above Stadium
   Partners is precluded from making any distributions until permanent project
   financing is secured.  As a consequence of Stadium Partners inability to make
   its payment to the Company due March 15,1997, the Company established a
   reserve of $3.34 million as of September 30, 1996, which represents the
   income accrued. The reserve will be reduced as collections and distributions
   are made pursuant to the Stadium Partners loan agreements. The Company no
   longer accrues management fees or interest income on the existing advances.

                                      -8-

   During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company made advances to
   Mr. Tanner totalling $70,300 resulting in a balance due of $85,160 as of that
   date.

   In connection with the TTI acquisition, the Company also issued a non-
   interest bearing note to Harold Estes for $10,000,000 due October 31, 1994,
   on which the Company imputed interest at 8.0% per annum. The Company has
   since modified, extended and renewed the note whereby the note currently
   having a balance including accrued interest of $12,842,916 has been extended
   to December 1, 1997 bearing interest at 10% through June 30, 1997 and 16%
   thereafter. The Company anticipates that it will be required to refinance
   this note payable on a long-term basis and is presently in negotiations with
   potential lenders to accomplish their goal. There is no certainty that
   Company will be able to refinance this note on acceptable terms or at all, by
   December 1, 1997. The note holder has no recourse to any of the assets or
   capital stock of Polyphase Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries and
   no cross-default provisions exist between this note and any other Polyphase
   debt.


5. CONTINGENCIES

   In January 1997, a suit was filed in District Court of Dallas County against
   the Company by Rice Partners II, L.P., subordinated debt holders of the
   Overhill Farms subsidiary.  The suit claims, among other things, that the
   Company breached covenants of the subordinated debt agreement and refused to
   cure the defaults within a reasonable period of time. The Company has filed a
   counter suit claiming Rice Partners II, L.P. (i) refused to comply with
   verbal agreements to the indenture (ii) conspired with the former general
   partner of Overhill to force the Company to sell Overhill Farms at a
   distressed price in order to benefit Rice Partners II, L.P. and (iii) caused
   the halting of trading of the Company's stock.

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

   In October 1996 a director of the Company exercised options on 75,000 of
   common stock at $.75 per share.

   In October 1996 an associate of the holders of the Company's Series A-2
   Preferred Stock tendered 125,000 shares of preferred stock as consideration
   for the exercise of options on 357,143 shares of common stock at $3.50 per
   share.

   In November 1996 a former executive of the Company exercised options on
   35,000 of common stock at $.01 per share. Such options were granted in
   consideration for a consulting contract and were valued at $200,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS

  Statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts,
including, but not limited to, the projections contained herein, are forward-
looking statements and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  The actual
results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements in
this Form 10-Q could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking
statements.  Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are: adverse economic conditions, industry competition and other
competitive factors, government regulation and possible future litigation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1996 decreased $1,331,000 (4%)
to $36,166,000 from $37,497,000 during the three months ended December 31, 1995.
Operating income also decreased $1,470,000 (50%) over the comparable period.
The decreases in the first quarter were primarily  attributable to the exclusion
of the Computer Group, which was sold in July 1996.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1996 decreased $864,000
(108%) to a loss of $67,000 from net income of $797,000 during the three months
ended December 31, 1995.  The loss is attributable to overall lower sales volume
and lower gross margins in the Forestry Group.  Selling, general and
administrative costs and interest expense remained constant with the comparable
periods which coupled with lower gross margins and lower sales, adversely
affected net income.

Revenues for the Food Group for the three months ended December 31, 1996
increased $1,319,000 (6%) to $23,890,000 from $22,571,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1995.  Operating income for the three months ended December
31, 1996 decreased $649,000 (34%)  to $1,280,000 from $1,929,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1995.  Increases in volume were primarily due to
increased sales in the weight loss and airline sectors of Overhill which offset
a downward trend in prior quarters.  Management continues to develop the retail
and food service sectors by increasing advertising, marketing and personnel
expenses resulting in higher selling general and administrative costs and in
decreased operating income.  As revenue increases in these divisions, management
does not anticipate increasing operating costs significantly.

Revenues for the Forestry Group for the three months ended December 31, 1996
increased $529,000 (5%) to $11,342,000 from $10,814,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1995, while operating income for the comparable period
decreased $665,000 (52%).  The increase in revenue is primarily due to
continuing demand for lumber equipment as timber prices have begun to firm in
the commodity markets.  Operating income decreased due to lower gross margins on
new equipment as the manufacturer raised prices which could not all be passed on
to the consumer.  The Company also experienced higher selling general and
administrative costs associated with the opening of the Atlanta, Texas office
and the relocation of the Lufkin office.  Management expects the demand for
equipment to increase slowly over the fiscal year and does not expect the slow
down which occurred in fiscal 1996.

Revenues for the Transformer Group for the three months ended December 31, 1996
increased $35,000 (4%) to $933,000 from $898,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1995, while operating income for the comparable period  decreased
$18,000 (40%).   The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to
increased competition and lower gross profit margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company used cash of
approximately $264,000 in its operating activities compared to $2,298,000 cash
provided during the comparable period in fiscal 1996. The decrease in cash
provided over the comparable periods was primarily from an operating loss and a
large decrease in accrued expenses.

During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company's investing
activities used cash of approximately $47,000 compared to a use of cash in the
amount of $2,887,000 in fiscal 1996.  The Company's use of cash consisted
primarily of capital expenditures in the Forestry and Food Groups.

During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company's financing
activities provided cash of approximately $670,000 as compared to a use of cash
of $1,736,000 in the comparable period in fiscal 1996.  During the three month
period, the holders of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock tendered 125,000 shares
in connection with the exercise of an option on approximately 360,000 shares of
common stock at $3.50 per share.

The Company has not complied with certain covenants involving substantially all
of the Company's loan agreements, including covenants that restrict transactions
with affiliates and which require the filing of audited financial statements
for the Company and its subsidiaries on a timely basis.  As a result, the
Company's debt has been classified as current as of September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1996.

The Company is in the process of negotiating a transaction involving Overhill
that the Company expects will resolve the Rice lawsuit and improve the Company's
overall debt structure, but there can be no assurance that such transaction will
be consummated.

Accordingly, the Company's management believes that cash generated from the
proposed Overhill transaction and from operations, together with existing lines
of credit, will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its liquidity
requirements for the next twelve months.
