Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.     The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
       GeoScience Corporation and its subsidiaries ("the Company") for the three
       month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and should be
       read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
       for the year ended December 31, 1995, included in the Company's
       Registration Statement on Form S-1, as filed with the Securities and
       Exchange Commission on May 17, 1996, as amended (Registration No.
       333-2986). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
       normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of these
       unaudited statements have been included. Such financial results, however,
       should not be construed as necessarily indicative of future earnings.

2.     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
       on the first-in, first-out method. Inventories (principally electronic
       parts) which aggregated $39,223,000 at June 30, 1996, include raw
       materials of $13,511,000 and work-in-process and finished goods of
       $25,712,000.

3.     Shares of common stock of the Company have been reserved at June 30, 1996
       for issuance as follows:

              1,500,000 shares for issuance upon exercise of options granted or
              to be grated under the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company.

4.     The Company provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences
       arising when revenues or expenses are recognized in different periods for
       financial and tax reporting purposes.

       Provision for federal income taxes for the three and six month periods
       ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was equivalent to an effective rate of 32%
       of earnings before income taxes. The difference between the effective
       rate and the U.S. statutory rate is due principally to tax benefits of
       foreign sales and research and development credits.

5.     Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
       shares outstanding during each period (9,185,000 and 7,900,000 for the
       three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and 8,542,000
       and 7,900,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
       respectively).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company has financed its operations from internally generated cash,
intercompany loans from Tech-Sym and borrowings under the Company's revolving
credit facilities. Cash used for operating activities for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 was expended primarily for increased inventories necessary
to support the higher revenue. Effective May 17, 1996, the Company completed its
initial public offering of common stock of 2,597,600 shares. The net proceeds to
the Company were $40.5 million of which $13.0 million was used to pay
indebtedness of revolving credit facilities and the balance used to pay amounts
due Tech-Sym Corporation.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had unused committed lines of credit which
aggregated $9,734,000.

After working capital, the chief use of the Company's funds has normally been
capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment
were $3,221,000 and $4,202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's earnings during the periods included
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

A summary of the period to period changes in the principal items included in the
consolidated statements of income is shown below:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Continued

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995:

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased 29% while costs and
expenses increased 40% which resulted in a decrease in income in continuing
operations before income taxes of 82% over the like quarter of the previous
year. This 29% increase in revenue was the result of (i) increased sales of
equipment ($5,140,000 or 32%) due primarily to shipments of the new 24-bit
module, (ii) increase in software sales ($243,000 or 12%), and (iii) increase in
maintenance and other revenue ($267,000 or 14%), the latter two due primarily to
the acquisition of Photon Systems Ltd. effective September 1995.

Cost of revenue increased 37% while selling, general and administrative expense
increased 48% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the second
quarter of 1995. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to (i) costs
associated with increased sales and (ii) increased manufacturing cost of the new
24- bit module over the standard 16-bit module. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased due primarily to the addition of selling,
general and administrative expenses of Photon Systems Ltd., which was acquired
effective September 1995, as well as royalties on increased equipment sales.
Research and development expense increased 21% for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the like quarter of 1995, but decreased from 15% as a
percent of sales for 1995 to 14% for 1996. Interest expense increased 132% for
the quarter primarily due to borrowing required to support the increase in
sales. Interest and other income was essentially the same for both quarters. The
provision for income tax rate was essentially the same for both periods.
Syntron's Pressure Control division was sold effective June 15, 1995.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995:

Revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased 42% while costs
and expenses increased 46% which resulted in a decrease in income from
continuing operations before income taxes of 40%. The 42% increase in revenue
was the result of (i) increased equipment sales ($13,694,000 or 50%), (ii)
increased software sales ($608,000 or 15%) and (iii) increased revenue in
maintenance and other ($592,000 or 17%), all due to the same reasons as
discussed in the quarterly comparisons.

Cost of revenue increased 51% while selling, general and administrative expense
increased 42% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same
quarter of 1995. The reason for the increase in cost of revenue was essentially
the same as the reasons for the quarterly comparison. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expense of 43% compares favorably to the 42% increase
in revenue. Research and development expense increased 18% for the six month
period, but decreased from 17% as a percentage of sales for 1995 to 14% for
1996. Interest expense increased 141% for the six month period due to additional
borrowing required to support the increase in sales. Interest and other income
was essentially the same for both periods. See note 4 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained on page 5 of the report for income
tax information.
