Progress payments are payments from customers in accordance with contractual
terms for contract costs incurred to date.  Such payments are credited to the
customer at the time of shipment.

The escrow and cash advance receivable, net represents funds on deposit in
escrow and funds distributed by the Company for payroll and vendor payments on
behalf of the buyer, related to the sale of the Flippin facility and the
related business. These funds will be released upon completion of certain
representations and warranties regarding the sale.  Cash advances are
reimbursed on a regular basis.

In accordance with contractual agreements, the government has a security
interest in inventories related to contracts for which progress payments have
been received.

In the normal course of the contract manufacturing business, situations develop
which require revisions to contract specifications and, as a result,
renegotiation of pricing to allow recovery of additional costs incurred or to
be incurred.  Consistent with past practices, included in inventories at April
2, 1995 and July 3, 1994 are deferred costs subject to renegotiation totaling
approximately $612,000 and  $755,000, respectively.  In management's  opinion,
these costs have been incurred due to customer changes in contract requirements
and terms, and the resultant increase in costs and/or delays in contract
performance, and will be recovered.

On December 2, 1994, the Company completed the sale of its operating business
in Flippin, Arkansas, to Avnet, Inc.  In the transaction, Avnet purchased
substantially all of the assets of the Flippin operation and the related
business for approximately $10,455,000 cash and assumed liabilities of
approximately $2,900,000.  This sale resulted in a gain of $154,000, which is
included in other income for the nine months ended April 2, 1995.

6.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the quarter.  There are 1,357,025 common stock warrants
exercisable at $3.00 per share outstanding at April 2, 1995.  Also outstanding
are the following common stock options:  97,000 exercisable at $.66 to $.726;
165,000 which are not exercisable until August, 1995 at $1.125 to $1.2375 per
share; 75,000 not exercisable until August, 1996 at $1.3125 to $1.4438 per
share; and 20,000 not exercisable until February, 1997 at $1.3833 per share.
The warrants and options are not considered dilutive common stock equivalents
for the purposes of the earnings per share calculation.

7.  INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109).  The tax
benefits from the Company's net operating loss carryforwards, which will more
likely than not be realized, have been recorded as an asset.  As of April 2,
1995, the net value of this benefit is $2,872,000 and is reported as $614,000
in current assets and $2,258,000 in other assets.

The net operating loss carryforwards as of July 3, 1994, for Federal Income Tax
purposes, were $20,794,000, which are available to offset future Federal
taxable income through 2003.  These carryforwards are the result of losses
generated by discontinued operations prior to 1987.  A valuation allowance is
provided to reduce the deferred tax assets to a level which, more likely than
not, will be realized.  The net deferred assets reflects management's estimate
of the amount which will be realized from future profitability which can be
predicted with reasonable certainty.

8.  CASH FLOWS

Total cash payments for interest for the three and nine months ended April 2,
1995 were $413,000 and $1,530,000 compared to $474,000 and $1,610,000 for the
three and nine months ended April 3, 1994.

                          OF RESULTS OF OPERATION AND
                              FINANCIAL CONDITION


LaBarge, Inc. engineers, manufactures, tests and sells sophisticated electronic
systems and devices and complex interconnect assemblies under contract with its
customers.  Markets for the Company's products are the defense electronics,
medical equipment, aerospace, energy production, telecommunications, computer
and various other commercial/industrial markets.  The Company employs
approximately 640 people.

On December 2, 1994, the Company completed the sale of the on-going business of
its operation in Flippin, Arkansas to Avnet, Inc.  In the transaction, Avnet
purchased substantially all of the assets of the Flippin operation and the
related business for approximately $10,455,000 cash and assumed liabilities of
approximately $2,900,000.  The proceeds from the sale are being used to reduce
debt.  The Company intends to continue to operate its facilities in Huntsville
and Berryville, Arkansas; Tulsa, Oklahoma and Joplin, Missouri.  The Company
will continue, through its remaining operations, to focus on design and
manufacture of high-tech electronic systems, devices and interconnect systems
with special emphasis on higher value-added products.

The Flippin facility manufactured cable assemblies for a variety of markets
including computer products and medical equipment.  Revenues for the fiscal
year ended July 3, 1994 were approximately $19 million (26% of the Company
total).  The Company recorded revenues from Flippin (through the date of
divestiture, November 27, 1994) of $7.3 million (approximately 15% of the
Company's total).  For the nine months of fiscal 1994, Flippin accounted for
approximately $14,400,000 in sales.  Of the approximate $10.5 million sale
price, $9.9 million has been received in cash, with the remainder held in
escrow subject to any claims by Avnet for breaches of representations and
warranties until the first anniversary of the sale.

During the three months ended April 2, 1995, the Company offered and exchanged
$3,385,000 of 15% Subordinated Notes due May, 1997 for a like amount of 12%
Subordinated Notes due May, 1998.  It also redeemed the remaining $1,615,000 of
15% Notes for cash.  This transaction will result in lower interest costs in
the future.

The sale of Flippin and the exchange and redemption of the 15% Subordinated
Notes due in May, 1997,  were part of a Company plan to strengthen its balance
sheet.  The Company believes the stronger balance sheet will allow it much
greater flexibility to invest in growth opportunities at its other facilities.

Historically, due to the lead times required in the production of the Company's
defense and aerospace products, its backlog of firm, unshipped orders has
always been considered extremely important.  However, with the reduction in the
Company's dependence on defense work, this has changed.  The importance of
backlog as an indicator of future performance has declined due to the Company's
increase in the proportion of sales received from new subcontract and
commercial work, both of which have much shorter lead times and demand quick
turnaround on product deliveries.  The backlog at April 2, 1995 was
approximately $43,600,000 compared to $51,600,000 at April 3, 1994, which
excludes Flippin's backlog at that date.  The backlog at April 2, 1995 for the
products described below consisted of approximately $30,100,000 of orders for
various defense products, the majority of which contain cancellation and
termination provisions, and $13,500,000 of orders for commercial products.
Approximately $6,600,000 of the total backlog is not scheduled to ship within
the next 12 months pursuant to the shipment schedules contained in those
contracts.

Substantially all of the Company's contracts with the United States Government
and subcontracts with prime contractors of the United States Government are
firm fixed-price contracts.  Under firm fixed-price contracts, work is
performed and paid for at a fixed amount without adjustment for the actual
costs experienced in connection with the contracts.  Therefore, unless the
customer actually or constructively alters or impedes the work performed, all
risk of loss due to cost overruns is borne by the Company.

The Company continues to pursue defense-related business.  During the first
quarter, the Company received additional orders on the AEGIS program totaling
$8.4 million.  AEGIS is the most advanced shipboard anti-aircraft and
anti-missile system in the world.  All work on this contract is being performed
in Huntsville, Arkansas.

Sales to Martin Marietta represented approximately a third of total Company
sales  for the three and nine months ended April 2, 1995.

The Company also serves the energy production, medical equipment, commercial
aerospace, telecommunications and other commercial/industrial markets.  The
Company has aggressively expanded its commercial business over the past several
years and intends to continue to do so.  Non-defense business represented
approximately 44% of total Company sales (35% restated to remove sales from
Flippin).  The Company manufactures products as diverse as an audio tape player
used by the vision impaired and data collection equipment used in oil and gas
production.  As in the defense market, all production is completed on a
contract basis.

Clinical trials of the blood laser perforator, developed under a contract with
Venisect, Inc., began on October 26, 1994, pursuant to an approval received
from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA").  Results of Phase I of
the trials were positive and a report was filed with the FDA requesting
permission to begin Phase II.  Approval has been received and Phase II testing
is expected to begin soon.  It is not known at this time when the product could
enter production or what future sales might be.

                          OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
                              FINANCIAL CONDITION



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1995
COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 3, 1994

In December, the Company sold its Flippin, Arkansas operation and its related
business for approximately $10,455,000.  Sales, related costs and profits
though November, 1994 are included in operating results and may distort the
comparative data presented.

Net sales for the nine months ended April 2, 1995 were $48,087,000 compared to
$54,831,000 for the nine months ended April 3, 1994.  Approximately $6,950,000
of the decline is due to the sale of Flippin, while the remainder of the
business had a modest increase of $200,000 year to year.

Gross profit for the nine months ended April 2, 1995 was $8,117,000, 16.9% of
sales, compared to $9,587,000, 17.5% of sales, for the nine months ended April
3, 1994.  The sale of Flippin caused 80% of the reduction in gross profit
dollars, while lower than anticipated sales volume compared to fixed costs
caused the lower margin.

Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended April 2, 1995
were $6,014,000, 12.5% of sales, compared to $6,255,000, 11.4% of sales, for
the nine months ended April 3, 1994.  Costs are slightly down from prior year
and continue to show the effects of cost containment efforts.

Earnings from operations were $2,103,000, 4.4% of sales, for the nine months
ended April 2, 1995, compared to  $3,332,000, 6.1% of sales, for the nine
months ended April 3, 1994.

Interest expense for the nine months ended April 2, 1995 was $1,392,000,
compared to $1,584,000 for the nine months ended April 3, 1994.  Lower debt
levels continue to cause lower interest costs; however, increasing interest
rates have largely offset the effect of lower debt levels.

Other income was $247,000 and $105,000 for the nine months ended April 2, 1995
and April 3, 1994, respectively.  Included in the other income for the period
ended April 2, 1995, is $154,000 in gain from the sale of the Flippin facility.
The remainder of this income represents accretion of a discount on a note
receivable.

The Company has significant net operating loss carryforwards which offset most
of its income tax liability.  Income tax expense for the nine months ended
April 2, 1995 and April 3, 1994, respectively, was $57,000 and $111,000.

Net earnings for the nine months ended April 2, 1995 were $901,000, compared to
$1,742,000 for the nine months ended April 3, 1994.

Earnings per common share were $.06 for the nine months ended April 2, 1995 and
$.12 for the nine months ended April 3, 1994.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1995
COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 3, 1994

Net sales for the three months ended April 2, 1995 were $14,770,000 compared to
$17,184,000 for the three months ended April 3, 1994.  Excluding Flippin's
volume from 1994, the remainder of the business showed a sales gain of
approximately 23% year-to-year for the three-month period.

Gross profit for the three months ended April 2, 1995 was $2,463,000, 16.7% of
sales, compared to $3,100,000, 18% of sales, for the three months ended April
3, 1994.  1995's gross profit dollars were up approximately $245,000 or 10%
when Flippin is excluded from the 1994 value.  However, due to lower than
anticipated sales volume compared to fixed costs, margins are down

On December 2, 1994, the Company completed the sale of its operations in
Flippin, Arkansas to Avnet, Inc.  In the transaction, Avnet purchased the net
assets of the Flippin operation and the related business for $10,455,000 and
assumed liabilities of $2,900,000.  The proceeds of the sale were used to
reduce debt.  As of April 2, 1995, $9,890,000 of the purchase price has been
received and used to reduce debt.

During the quarter ended April 2, 1995, the Company exchanged $3,385,000 of 15%
Subordinated Notes due in 1997 for a like amount of 12% Subordinated Notes due
in May, 1998.  It also redeemed the remainder of the 15% Subordinated Notes for
cash of $1,615,000.

At April 2, 1995, the Company had borrowings as follows:  a term loan with an
initial balance of $3,280,000 payable over four years at an interest rate of
prime plus 1.5% and a revolving credit facility of up to $14,500,000 which

Chemical Bank at prime plus .5%, plus other debt totaling $383,000.  Equity at
April 2, 1995 was $12,930,000 or $.85 per common share.

operations and the related business--$9,890,000, net income of $901,000
adjusted for non-cash depreciation and amortization of $760,000, and  reduction
of accounts receivable of $2,268,000.  Cash has been used to increase
