Tigard, Oregon  August 3, 1995.  In a statement today, Don A.
Raig, Chief Operating Officer of DDL Electronics, Inc. (NYSE_DDL)
announced today that the holders of its 1993 common stock
purchase warrants had approved an amendment to their agreement
with the company extending the warrant exercise period and
decreasing the warrant exercise price.  The exercise period,
which would have expired July 31, 1995, now expires at 5:00 p.m.
New York time on Friday, December 29, 1995.  The exercise price,
which had been "out of the money" for several months, is now
$1.42 per share.  The Company's common stock closed yesterday on
the New York Stock Exchange at a share price of $1.875 per share. 


The consent of a majority  of the warrant holders was required to
secure approval of these new terms.  

At Fiscal Year End June 30, 1995, the Company had 16,062,979
shares of common stock outstanding.  The 1993 warrants cover an
additional 223,500 shares of common stock.  As of this time, 80%
of warrant holders have advised the Company that they intend to
exercise their warrants with no warrant holders indicating they
will not.  The exercise of all warrants will result in gross cash
proceeds to the company of $317,370 which management will use for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.  

Although the common stock issuable upon warrant exercise cannot
practicably be resold without registration, the Company has
agreed to register the shares for resale and expects to file an
appropriate registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by the end of this month.
