Sevcon, Inc. Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

     The results of operations for the three-month periods ended 
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the full year.


(2) Stock Split and Cash Dividends


     On July 27, 1995, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split 
in the form of a 100% stock dividend payable on August 28, 1995 to 
shareholders of record on August 11, 1995.  Per share information for 
the quarter ended December 31, 1994 has been restated to reflect the 
stock split.

     At the same time, the Company declared a 25% increase in its 
regular quarterly dividend to $.125 per share for the fourth quarter 
of fiscal 1995.  This dividend reflects the two-for-one stock split, 
and was paid on October 12, 1995 to shareholders of record on 
September 25, 1995.  The cash dividend had been $.10 per share for 
the previous four quarters on a post-split basis.

     On December 13, 1995, the Company declared a quarterly dividend 
of $.125 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, which was 
paid on January 11, 1996 to stockholders of record on December 29, 
1995. The Company has paid regular quarterly cash dividends since the 
first quarter of fiscal 1990.

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


Financial Condition

The Company has, since January 1990, maintained a program of regular 
cash dividends, which at present amount to $381,000 per quarter. 
Tech/Ops Sevcon's resources, in the opinion of management, are 
adequate for projected operations and capital spending programs, as 
well as continuation of the cash dividend.  In the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, working capital declined by $331,000, primarily
because of the purchase of 52,500 shares of the Company's common 
stock for the treasury for $529,000, to be issued when options are
exercised.


Results of Operations

Sales in the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1995 were 
$5,798,000, compared to $4,774,000 in the same quarter of the
previous year, an increase of 21%.  The revenue increase in this
quarter was due to gains in business to new customers, shipments
of new products, and higher world-wide demand for fork lift truck
and aerial lift controllers.

The gross profit percentage was slightly lower this year (40.8% 
compared to 41.1%), but as a result of higher revenues, the gross 
profit increased by $404,000.  Operating expenses for the quarter 
were higher than 1994, reflecting higher volumes and increased 
spending on new product development.

Income before income taxes was $921,000, compared to $791,000 last 
year.  Income taxes were 33% of pre-tax income compared to 30% in 
1994 due to higher foreign tax rates and lower tax credits.

Mainly due to increased sales and higher operating costs, net income 
was $616,000 compared to $533,000 last year, an increase of 11%.  
Income per share was $.20 compared to $.18 in the first quarter of 
fiscal 1995, on a post-split basis.
