Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                  Effective June 17, 1997, ORBIT/FR, Inc. ("ORBIT"), pursuant to
a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on March 31, 1997 and in connection with
the completion of the initial public offering of its common stock on June 20,
1997 ("IPO"), acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Advanced
ElectroMagnetics, Inc., a California corporation ("AEMI").

      The maximum consideration payable by ORBIT is $1,600,000, subject to
adjustment based on AEMI's financial performance for the three years ended March
31, 1997. One-half of the final purchase price is to be paid in cash received
from the IPO and the other half is to be paid by the issuance of shares of
ORBIT's common stock valued at the initial offering price of $8.25 per share.
The purchase price has been preliminarily determined to be $1,377,000, of which
ORBIT paid $450,000 in cash on June 20, 1997. The remainder purchase price will
be paid as soon as practicable after the determination of the final purchase
price pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

      AEMI designs and manufactures specialized materials ("absorbers") that
line test chambers used in indoor electromagnetic compatibility testing
systems. By preventing microwave "echos", AEMI absorbers provide a distortion
and interference-free environment for testing emission, reception and/or
reflective properties of customer products.

                Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Advanced ElectroMagnetics, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Advanced ElectroMagnetics,
Inc. as of March 31, 1997, and the related statements of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Advanced ElectroMagnetics, Inc.
at March 31, 1997, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Advanced ElectroMagnetics, Inc. ("the Company") was formed in 1980, and designs,
manufactures and installs radar absorbing material for the military, aerospace
and communications market, primarily in the United States. The Company's
products provide electromagnetic interference control, compatibility, radar
cross section and general purpose antenna measurement capabilities. The Company
also provides services relating to installation, shielded enclosures and
state-of-the-art testing of finished facilities.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes products and related service revenues at the time of
shipment or performance of service.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the first-in, first-out method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 7
- - 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
remaining life of the lease or the useful life of the asset.

Vehicles                                      7 years
Machinery and equipment                      10 years
Office furniture and equipment               10 years

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Effective April 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of (FAS 121), which requires impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets'


                                                                               6

carrying amount. FAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets
that are expected to be disposed of. The adoption of this standard had no
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued
for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and replaces APB Opinion 15, Earnings
per Share ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share by entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects
the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the
entity. The impact of SFAS No. 128 on the calculation of either basic or diluted
net income per share for the year ended March 31, 1997 is not expected to be
material.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
about the future that affects the amounts reported in the financial statements.
These estimates include assessing the collectibility of accounts receivable and
the usage and recoverability of inventory. The actual results could differ from
those estimates.
