The undersigned registrant hereby amends the following items, financial
statements and exhibits of its report on Form 8-K dated November 30, 1998, as
set forth in the following pages:

Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 7 are amended in their entirety.
Paragraph (c) is amended to add exhibit (23).
Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A contains certain forward-looking
statements regarding Technitrol, Inc. ("Technitrol" or the "Company") including
statements regarding the acquisition of GTI Corporation ("GTI") and the impact
of the acquisition on Technitrol and its financial condition and operating
results. These statements are based on the Company's expectations, which are
believed to be reasonable, but are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Such risks
include, but are not limited to, the successful integration of GTI's operations
into Technitrol facilities, the achievement of anticipated cost savings and
synergies, the risks inherent in operating in developing countries, and the
market conditions of those markets the Company sells product
into, particularly the local area network market. These risks and uncertainties
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
presents the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1998
of Technitrol, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Technitrol" or the "Company") and of GTI
Corporation ("GTI") giving effect to the acquisition of GTI as if the
acquisition had been consummated on September 30, 1998. The Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Statement of Operations is presented for the year ended December 31,
1997 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 giving effect to the
acquisition of GTI as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1,
1997.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based
on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the
historical consolidated financial statements of GTI after giving effect to the
acquisition transaction under the purchase method of accounting and the
assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements. A preliminary allocation of purchase
price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been made using
estimated fair values that include values based on independent appraisals and
management estimates. These estimates are subject to adjustment to reflect
actual amounts. Any subsequent adjustments are expected to occur by November 30,
1999 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
position.
As the pro forma information is based on historical financial results and
does not reflect any anticipated cost savings as a result of integrating GTI's
operations into existing Technitrol facilities, management of the Company does
not believe that the pro forma condensed combined financial information is
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition
had been consummated on the date indicated or which may be attained in the
future. As reflected in the historical financial statements presented herein,
GTI experienced significant financial difficulty prior to its acquisition by
Technitrol and Technitrol plans to make significant changes in GTI's business
and realize significant cost savings and synergies as a result of such changes.
However, there can be no assurance regarding the extent of such changes, cost
savings or any synergies that will ultimately occur. The pro forma information
is provided for illustrative purposes only.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements, and the
accompanying notes thereto, of Technitrol and GTI. The historical financial
statements and the accompanying notes of GTI as of December 31, 1997 and 1996
and for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1997 and
as of and for the nine month period ended September 26, 1998 and September 27,
1997 have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
are included herein. The historical financial statements of Technitrol as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and as of and for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998 have been previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
(1) The historical financial information of GTI was derived from the audited
financial statements of GTI for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the
unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September
26, 1998.
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
- ------------------------------------------
(2) The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination.
Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the
assets and liabilities of GTI based upon their respective fair values as of
November 16, 1998. The purchase price was as follows:
Cash paid for the outstanding stock of GTI ($3.10 per share
for 8,973,475 common shares outstanding and $726.37 per
share for 8,110 preferred shares outstanding) $33,710,000
Estimated transaction and related acquisition costs 2,000,000
-----------
$35,710,000
===========
Pro forma balance sheet adjustments consist of:
(a) cash paid for the GTI's shares outstanding ($13,710,000 in cash and
$20,000,000 from available credit facilities),
(b) increase in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment to reflect
fair market values based on independent appraisals,
(c) increase in deferred tax assets as a result of tax planning strategies
available to Technitrol that were previously unavailable to GTI,
(d) elimination of GTI's pre-acquisition goodwill,
(e) goodwill as a result of the purchase of GTI by Technitrol assuming the
transaction was consummated on September 30, 1998,
(f) accrual for estimated transaction costs, related acquisition costs and
qualifying restructuring activities (accounted for in accordance with EITF
No. 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business
Combination"),
(g) elimination of the historical equity accounts of GTI.
The pro forma adjustments to the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet assume that
the acquisition occurred on September 30, 1998. The purchase price includes
estimated professional fees and other expenses associated with the transaction.
The total purchase price will be adjusted as the actual expenses are determined;
however, any such adjustments are not expected to be material to the financial
position of the Company.

- -----------------------------------------------------
(3) Increase in depreciation expense as the result of valuing property, plant
and equipment at fair value based on independent appraisals.
(4) Elimination of the amortization of GTI's pre-acquisition goodwill.
(5) Elimination of the amortization of organization costs previously
capitalized by GTI. GTI wrote-off the remaining balance of approximately
$899,000 in the first quarter of 1998 as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle.
(6) Amortization of goodwill of $3,421,000 over a 15-year amortization period,
or approximately $230,000 annually.
(7) Reduction of interest income as a result of using $13,710,000 of cash
on-hand to fund the acquisition.
(8) Interest expense on $20,000,000 of long-term debt incurred to fund the
acquisition.
(9) Income tax benefits on GTI losses that the combined entity would have
realized.
(10) Income tax benefits related to the pro forma adjustments at the effective
rate.
(11) Elimination of merger costs recorded by GTI during the nine-months ended
September 30, 1998.

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors, GTI Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GTI Corporation
(a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GTI Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

GTI CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of GTI Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively
the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Financial Statement Preparation - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
management's estimates.
Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid
investments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less. Cash
equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Geographic Operations - The Company invests a
portion of its excess cash in debt instruments of financial institutions with
strong credit ratings and has established guidelines relative to
diversification and maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. The Company
has not experienced any significant losses on its cash equivalents. The
Company sells its products to customers in diversified industries worldwide.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Actual losses
have been within management's expectations. As of December 31, 1997, two
large customers represented approximately 46% of the Company's net accounts
receivable balance. A significant portion of the Company's manufacturing
operations and its inventories are concentrated in the People's Republic of
China (the "PRC") and, to a lesser extent, the Philippines.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out)
or market and include direct labor, materials, and manufacturing overhead.
Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 7 to 25 years for buildings
and improvements and 3 to 7 years for machinery, equipment, furniture, and
fixtures. Expenditures for property additions together with major renewals and
improvements are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals and
betterments are charged to expense.
Excess of Cost over Net Assets of Acquired Companies - The excess of
acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets (goodwill) of Valor
Electronics, Inc. ("Valor," the Company's primary operating subsidiary) is
being amortized using the straight-line method over 35 years. The Company
periodically re-evaluates the original assumptions and rationale utilized in
the establishment of the carrying value and estimated life of this asset.
Management believes that there has been no impairment of the goodwill as
reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
1997. The Company is subject to technological changes, which could cause
management to reassess its estimate of the realizability of goodwill and/or its
amortization period. The determinants used for this evaluation include
management's estimate of the asset's continuing ability to generate positive
income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the
strategic significance of the intangible asset to the Company's business
objectives. Cost in excess of net assets of Valor, net of amortization, was
$19,149 and $19,845 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This
statement requires an asset and liability approach to account for income taxes.
The Company provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences that will
result in taxable or
F-6
deductible amounts in future years based on the reporting of certain costs in
different periods for financial statement and income tax purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign
operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at
the balance sheet date, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period. Translation gains or losses of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries are not included in net income but are reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. The functional currency of those
subsidiaries is the primary currency in which the subsidiary operates. Gains
and losses on transactions in denominations other than the functional currency
of the Company's foreign operations, while not material in amount, are included
in the results of operations. Most of the Company's worldwide sales and
inventory and equipment purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars, and most of
the Company's cash is invested in U.S. dollars. As a result, the Company
typically does not enter into foreign exchange transactions to hedge balance
sheet and intercompany balances against movements in foreign exchange rates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock - In 1997 the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per
Share," which sets forth the basis for the computation of "basic" earnings per
share and "dilutive" earnings per share. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock
or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the
earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of the weighted
average shares of Common Stock outstanding plus common equivalent shares
arising from the effect of cumulative convertible Preferred Stock, using the
if-converted method, and dilutive stock options, using the treasury-stock
method. All EPS amounts for prior years and quarters have been restated to
conform to these new standards, and the effect of the restatement was not
significant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statements No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
and No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information." SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
other financial statements. The statement requires that an enterprise classify
items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement
and to display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of
a statement of financial position. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way
public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial statements. Both
SFAS 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997.
NOTE 2: BUSINESS COMBINATION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Promptus - In January 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of
approximately 72% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Promptus for
approximately $19.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated
fair-market value. This allocation resulted in approximately $17.2 million of
costs in excess of the net assets acquired, which was being amortized over 20
years.
In March 1997, Promptus entered into an agreement (the "NAC Transaction") to
sell the net assets of its Network Access Card business ("NAC") for
approximately $20,000, consisting of $14,500 in cash and 223,881 shares of
VideoServer, Inc. Immediately after the closing of the NAC transaction, Promptus
purchased 100% of the Promptus shares held by the Company and repaid certain
indebtedness to the Company for an aggregate of approximately $11,600, net of
certain transaction costs. The net proceeds to the Company at closing were
$8,200 in cash and approximately 158,000 shares of common stock of VideoServer,
Inc. resulting in a loss on disposal of approximately $10,800. As a result of
this divestiture, the operations prior to closing and the loss on disposal of
F-7
Promptus are included within discontinued operations. In 1997, the Company
incurred an additional $499 loss resulting from the decline in value of
VideoServer from the date of closing to the date the Company was able to
liquidate the VideoServer shares. This $499 loss was recorded in 1997 in
continuing operations.
E-Group - In December 1995, the Company completed the divestiture of certain
assets and liabilities of the E-Group for approximately $12,500, resulting in a
gain of approximately $3,000, net of income taxes of $2,500. The Company
received $11,750 in cash paid at the closing, $250 in escrow funds, and a $500
promissory note due in three years. The escrow funds will remain in escrow
until June 1997, at which time, if no purchase price adjustment occurs, all
escrow funds will be remitted to the Company.
Esco - In February 1996, the Company sold 100% of Esco's common stock in
exchange for approximately $4,100, consisting of $2,200 in cash and a $1,900
promissory note due in equal installments over six years, resulting in a loss
on disposal of approximately $5,000, net of income tax benefits of
approximately $1,300. This loss was accrued in 1995.
The sales of the E-Group, Esco and Promptus were made pursuant to formal
divestiture plans adopted by the Company's Board of Directors which required the
plans to be carried out within one year. Accordingly, these businesses have been
accounted as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30.
The operating results of the discontinued operations during the period of the
Company's ownership are summarized as follows:
1996 1995
----------------------------
Sales $ 17,735 $ 54,771
----------------------------
Loss before tax provision
and minority interest income (3,530) (2,209)

----------------------------
Net loss $ (2,998) $ (2,178)
============================
Basic earnings (loss) per share $ (0.33) $ (0.24)
============================
Interest expense has been allocated to loss on discontinued operations for the
year ended December 31, 1995 based upon specifically identified debt incurred
in connection with the acquisition of Promptus. The amount of interest expense
allocated was approximately $865.

principal and interest on a bank term loan of $4,100 and repaid the remaining
$7,650 against the outstanding principal amount on a bank credit facility. The
term loan and credit facility were both used in connection with the acquisition
of Promptus.

NOTE 5: CREDIT AGREEMENTS AND RELATED-PARTY NOTE
Through December 1997 the Company had a line of credit agreement with a bank.
Interest on outstanding borrowings accrued at prime plus one and one quarter
percent, and the line was secured by substantially all the Company's domestic
assets. The line of credit agreement expired in December 1997, and as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, there were zero and $4.9 million, respectively,
outstanding under this arrangement.
In February 1998, the Company negotiated a new line of credit, subject to
activation. However, based on recent financial performance (see Note 13), it
is unlikely that this line will be activated.
In February 1997, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the
"Note") with Telemetrix PLC ("Telemetrix," the Company's majority shareholder).
By the terms of the Note, Telemetrix loaned $2,500 to the Company with
principal to be repaid in four equal semi-annual installments of $625,000 (plus
applicable interest) beginning August 1997 and ending February 1999. Interest
accrues at Prime plus 4% (12.5% as of December 31, 1997). The loan is secured
by a subordinated security interest in all of the Company's assets. As of
December 31, 1997, the outstanding balance on this Note was $1,875. Also, by
the terms of the Note and related agreements, the Company granted Telemetrix a
warrant to acquire 150,000 shares of GTI common stock at an exercise price of
$6 per share. The warrant expires 30 days after the Note is repaid in full.

Income tax provision is not recorded for US Federal income taxes on a portion
of the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are
intended to be permanently reinvested in those operations. Such earnings would
become taxable upon the sale or liquidation of these foreign subsidiaries or
upon the remittance of dividends. Accumulated undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries on which US taxes have not been provided are approximately
$37,300, which would result in a related tax liability of $9,300, net of
estimated foreign tax credits of $6,700, if such earnings were repatriated.
NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments: The Company leases machinery and equipment, computer
equipment, office furniture and leased facilities under various operating
leases. These leases expire on various dates through 2002. Under the terms of
most of the leases, the Company is required to pay all taxes, insurance and
maintenance. The total future minimum annual lease payments under these
operating lease agreements are as follows:
Year Ended

Rental expense amounted to $3,468, $2,879 and $3,280 in the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Litigation: In December 1995, a class-action lawsuit was filed in the United
States District Court, Southern District of California, against the Company and
certain of its officers and directors alleging violations of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. In November 1996, the court approved a Stipulation of
Settlement with prejudice resulting in a release of all claims. The settlement
amount, paid by the Company in 1996, was $400.
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the
ordinary course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is
expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
F-12
Change of Control Contingencies: In February 1998, the Company retained
investment bankers to assist the Company regarding the identification and
investigation of strategic alternatives that might be available to the Company,
including a possible sale of the Company. No such strategic transaction has
been negotiated to date, and there can be no assurance that any such strategic
transactions will be consummated. If a sale of the Company occurs, there can be
no assurance regarding the price per share to be received by the Company's
shareholders. Also, if a change of control of GTI occurs, the Company will owe
stay-on bonuses to certain employees aggregating approximately $1,200 and a
success fee to the investment bankers, depending on the price of the strategic
transaction, if any.
NOTE 8: PREFERRED STOCK
The preferred stock is convertible at the discretion of the holder, at a rate
of 234.314 shares of common stock per share of preferred stock, into 1,900,287
shares of the Company's common stock. Dividends accrue on this preferred stock
at a rate of $35.00 per share per year and are payable quarterly. The
preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and have a
par value of $1.00 per share.
NOTE 9: EARNINGS PER SHARE

APB Opinion No. 15.
NOTE 10: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Stock Option Plans: The Company has five stock option plans that provide for
the granting of either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options
to key employees and non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors.
All current outstanding options are non-qualified stock options. The options
granted under these plans are to purchase common stock at not less than
fair-market value at the date of grant. Employee options are generally
exercisable one year from date of grant in cumulative annual installments of
25%, and they generally fully vest upon a change of control of GTI.
Non-employee director options are exercisable in full at the date of grant.
The options have terms of five to ten years.

The outstanding options expire at various dates through December 2007. As of
December 31, 1997, 147,925 shares were available for future grant under all
plans.
Additionally, as of December 31, 1997, a warrant was outstanding for 150,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6 per share. This warrant,
issued to an affiliated party, expires 30 days after the note payable to said
affiliated party is paid in full. The anticipated retirement of said note is
February 1999.
As permissible under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, the
Company accounts for stock options granted as per the methodology prescribed
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation
cost based upon the intrinsic value of the equity award. Accordingly, no
compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations
for any equity awards granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995.
The following table represents pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma
earnings (loss) per share had the Company elected to account for equity awards
using the fair-value-based method beginning with all equity award grants
commencing on January 1, 1995. In estimating the pro forma compensation
expense for each equity award granted during the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, the Company used the Black Scholes option pricing model, a
risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, expected dividend yield of zero, expected
option lives of 6.5 years, and expected volatility of 83.2%. The estimated pro
forma compensation cost resulting in the pro forma net income (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share may not be representative of actual results had the
Company accounted for equity awards using the fair-value-based method.

NOTE 11: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined contribution plan that qualifies as a cash or
deferred profit sharing plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The plan is available to substantially all domestic employees.
Under the plan, participating employees may defer between 1% and 15% of their
pre-tax compensation. The Company contributes 50% for each dollar contributed
per employee up to a maximum of 3% of the employee's defined compensation. In
addition, the plan provides for an employer profit sharing contribution in such
amounts as the Board of Directors may annually determine. The Company also has
similar plans for foreign employees which are governed by the laws in the
country in which they are established. Company contributions under all plans
were $81, $120 and $145 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. There were no
amounts paid relating to the discretionary employer profit sharing contribution
in any of these years.
The Company had no other programs that required payment of post-retirement
benefits to current or retired employees.
NOTE 12: SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
In the year ended December 31, 1997, two customers represented 18% and 13%,
respectively, of the Company's consolidated sales. In the year ended December
31, 1996, two customers represented 20% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's
consolidated sales. In the year ended December 31, 1995, two customers
represented 16% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated sales.
Through its Valor subsidiary, the Company operates in one industry segment.
Valor is a manufacturer and distributor of magnetic-based components,
integrated modules, and subsystems for signal processing and power-management
functions in networking and internetworking products. Valor products are used
principally in the data communications industry by OEMs for local area networks
and wide area networks.
The Company operates predominately in the Unites States, the Peoples' Republic
of China, the Philippines, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Transfers between
geographic areas primarily represent intercompany export sales between the
related companies. In computing income from continuing operations before
income taxes and minority interest, no allocations of general corporate
expenses have been made. Identifiable assets include those assets directly
identified to those operations in each geographical area. The assets in
North America consist of operating assets and goodwill (net of amortization).

Export sales, principally to customers in Canada and Latin America, were
$1,109, $908 and $3,048 in the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. These export sales are included in the North America amounts
above.
NOTE 13: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Company's revenues in the first quarter of 1998 were $14,002 (unaudited)
compared to $22,393 (unaudited) in the comparable quarter of 1997, and the first
quarter 1998 loss was about $5,700 (unaudited, including a restructuring charge
of about $1,500, subject to finalization, and the cumulative effect of an
accounting change of $899). In response to this adverse trend and for other
reasons, the Company has initiated ongoing revenue enhancement and cost
reduction programs. However, there can be no assurance that revenues will
increase, nor can there be any assurance that the Company will be able to reduce
costs in an amount sufficient to offset the negative effects of the revenue
decline. While management believes the Company has sufficient financial
resources, if revenue levels continue to decline, then the Company may be forced
to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available in amounts or at terms acceptable to the Company.
In January 1998, the Company retained investment bankers to assist the Company
regarding the identification and investigation of strategic alternatives that
might be available to the Company, including a possible sale of the Company.
No such strategic transaction has been negotiated to date, and there can be no
assurance that any such strategic transaction will be consummated. If a sale of
the Company occurs in the short term, it is likely that the sales price to be
received by the Company's shareholders will be less than the historical book
value reflected in the accompanying December 31, 1997 balance sheet.

GTI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
the accounts of GTI Corporation (the "Company"), together with its
majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the
information from being misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present
the results of operations and financial position as of the dates and for the
periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997. The results for the
interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for a full year.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current-year
presentation.

NOTE 4: PLANT CLOSURE
In the quarter ended March 28, 1998, the Company decided to combine its two
factories in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") into one factory in the PRC.
Costs associated with the plant closure of $1,500 consist primarily of the
impairment of fixed assets which are now surplus to the operations of the
remaining PRC factory. These costs are included in cost of sales in the quarter
ended March 28, 1998 and in the nine months ended September 26, 1998.
NOTE 5: CUMULATIVE EFFECT FROM CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
In the quarter ended March 28, 1998, the Company implemented Statement of
Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"),
which requires organization costs to be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, in
the first quarter, the Company recorded a charge of $899 as a cumulative effect
of change in accounting principle for costs originally related to the
organization of the Company's operations in the PRC.
NOTE 6: NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires companies to
report all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from
investment by owners and distribution to owners. The components for
comprehensive income are as follows:

NOTE 7: MERGER AGREEMENT
On May 26, 1998, the Company executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Agreement") whereby all of the outstanding GTI common and preferred stock will
be transferred to a subsidiary of Technitrol, Inc. in exchange for $3.10 cash
per GTI common share and $726.37 cash per GTI preferred share. The closing of
this transaction is subject to certain conditions, all of which the Company
believes it has met. However, until recently, Technitrol had refused to close
the merger transaction, citing certain alleged material breaches of
representations and warranties made by the Company in the Agreement, which the
Company has denied. On September 10, 1998, the Company filed suit in the
Delaware Chancery Court seeking a court order, among other things, requiring
Technitrol to close the merger transaction.
On November 3, 1998, Technitrol and the Company announced publicly that the
disagreements discussed above had been resolved and that the closing of the
merger is expected to occur on or about November 16, 1998.
