NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES AND DISCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS:
A. The Company is a New Jersey corporation organized in 1947. The
Company designs and produces electronic testing and measuring instruments
including power meters, voltmeters and modulation meters. Recent models are
microprocessor controlled and are often used in computerized automatic testing
systems. The Company's equipment is marketed throughout the world to commercial
and government customers in the electronics industry.
B. The Company markets and distributes its products throughout the
United States and abroad through some 15 domestic sales representatives and 35
foreign distributors. Representatives sell on a commission basis, while
distributors buy products for resale at discounted ex-factory prices. Its
representatives and distributors also handle the products of other manufactures,
although these are not generally competitive with the Company's products except
that some items handled by foreign distributors may be somewhat competitive.
C. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Boonton Electronics Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Boonton
International Sales Corporation and Integra, Inc. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
wholly-owned subsidiaries ceased operations effective October 1, 1994.
D. Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
E. The company accounts for uncollectible accounts under the direct
write-off method whereas generally accepted accounting principals require
provision for such expenses under the allowance method. The effect of using this
method approximates the allowance method as all amounts are deemed to be fully
collectible.
F. Inventories - stated at the lower of cost or market determined by
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
G. Property and equipment - Depreciation and amortization is
calculated by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates
based on the following estimated useful lives:
Building improvements 39
Machinery and equipment 5-10
Office furniture and fixtures 5-10
Transportation equipment 3

The accelerated cost recovery system and modified accelerated cost
recovery system are used for income tax purposes. Cost of major renewals and
betterments that extend the life of the property and equipment are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.
H. Financial risk - The Company regularly maintains bank account
balances in excess of FDIC insurable limit.
I. Income Taxes - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which
requires a company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a
Company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using expected tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
expected to reverse. The Company recognized the benefit of net operating loss
carryforwards applying the valuation allowance which requires that the tax
benefit be limited bases on the weight of available evidence and the probability
that some portion of the deferred tax asset will be realized.
J. Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments
include cash, cash equivalents, trade receivables and payable, long-term debt
and loans from related parties for which carrying amounts approximate fair
value. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of related party loans
and long-term debt.
NOTE 2 - PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 AND GOING CONCERN

NOTE 5 - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Company has incurred losses from operations during the last
three fiscal years. Management does not expect this to continue based on its
operating plan for fiscal 1997 which anticipates a 19% increase in revenue and a
net income of approximately $200,000. The 1997 first half revenues were
approximately $3.6 million which supports, on an annualized basis, the expected
increase in revenues. The military contracts awarded in fiscal 1996, which will
total $1.7 million in revenues upon completion, contributed approximately
$558,000 to the first half 1997 revenues. The Company's backlog as of March 31,
1997 was $1,321,137 and included an additional $473,000 for the military
contracts. An additional $379,000 was released by the Air Force in January and
February 1997 against these contracts.

A. RETIREMENT PLAN:
Effective July 1, 1989, the Company adopted a defined contribution
plan for all eligible employees. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code
Section 401(k), the plan provides for elective deferral of up to 15% of total
compensation. The plan further provided for a Company matching contribution of
25% of the elective deferral amount of each participant that did not exceed 6%
of total compensation. Effective January 1, 1994, the matching Company
contribution was suspended due to the company's financial condition and pending
reorganization. Effective October 1, 1995, the Company reinstated a matching
contribution at 50% of the elective deferral amount for each participant that
does not exceed 6% of total compensation. The amounts charged to operations were
$46,151 and $0 for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
B. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS PLANS:
On February 26, 1987, the Stockholders approved the 1987 Incentive

CONTINGENCIES:
- -------------
A. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES:
Following an investigation by the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) of the Company's waste disposal practices at a
certain site that it formerly leased, the Company put a ground water management
plan into effect as approved by the NJDEP. Costs associated with this site are
charged directly to income as incurred. The lessor of this site has notified the
Company that if the NJDEP investigation proves to have interfered with a sale of
the property, the lessor may seek to hold the Company liable for any loss it
suffers as a result. However, corporate counsel has informed management that, in
their opinion, the lessor would not prevail in any lawsuit filed due to the
imposition by law of the statute of limitations.
Cost charged to operations in connection with the water management
plan amounted to $51,879 and $60,409 for the years ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The Company estimates the expenditures in this regard for
the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997 will amount to approximately $52,000.
The Company will continue to be liable under the plan in all future years until
such time as the NJDEP releases it from all obligations applicable thereto.
B. INCOME TAX CONTINGENCIES:
The Company's income tax returns through the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1992 have been accepted as filed or are barred from further
assessment.

</TABLE>
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", requires that the Company record a valuation allowance when
it is "more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized". It further states that "forming a conclusion that a
valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence
such as cumulative losses in recent years".
The ultimate realization of this deferred income tax asset depends on
the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. The Company is
undergoing substantial restructuring changes and has made strategic realignments
of its operations in association with its Plan or Reorganization that management
believes will result in future profitability. While it is management's belief
that these measures will allow the total deferred income tax asset to be
realized by future operating results, the losses in recent years and a desire to
be conservative make it appropriate to record a valuation allowance.
Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance (based on
estimated future taxable income) for the portion of the total deferred income
tax asset that will not be realized as related to the operating loss
carryforward.
Income tax laws allow for the utilization of loss carryforwards over
periods not to exceed 15 and 7 years for Federal and State purposes,
respectively. If the Company is not able to generate sufficient taxable income
in the future through operating results, increases in the valuation allowance
will be required through a charge to expense (reducing stockholder's equity). In
the event the Company reports sufficient profitability to use all of the
deferred income tax assets, the valuation allowance will be eliminated through a
credit to expense (increasing stockholder's equity).

BOONTON ELECTRONICS CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997
For federal tax purposes, the Company's subsidiary, Boonton
International Sales Corporation, elected to be treated as a Domestic
International Sales Corporation (DISC) under Section 992(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Company is entitled to defer federal taxes on the income of
the DISC which amounted to $223,449 for 1994. This subsidiary ceased operations
effective October 1, 1994.
Cumulative undistributed earnings of the DISC subsequent to December
31, 1984 was $1,023,055. The Company does not recognize the deferred income
taxes since there is no intention to distribute the DISC income.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and
state purposes approximating $9,478,000 and $9,647,000 that will not begin to
expire until the year 2006 and 1998, respectively. These loss carryforwards can
be utilized to reduce future taxable income dollar for dollar.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF INCOME STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------------------------
SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
-------------------------------
Sales for the six months ended March 31, 1997 were $413,230 above the
prior year. The increase in sales was due to an increase in sales to U.S.
government agencies of $521,800 and an increase in other domestic sales of
$113,717 coupled with a decrease in export sales of $222,287. Gross income
increased by $43,057 above the prior year, but decreased to 45% of sales versus
a prior year's 49% of sales. This decline in gross profit as a percentage of
sales was attributable to the increased government revenues which carry a lower
gross margin. Commission expense increased by $40,689 over the prior year due to
the increase in sales volume. The other operating cost categories decreased by a
total of $25,361 below the prior year. Income from operations of $94,824 was an
increase of $27,729 above the prior year's $67,095. Net income of $56,581 was an
increase of $51,554 over the prior year. The earnings per share were $0.04
versus a prior year's earnings of $0.00.
The March 31, 1997 inventory balance was $1,279,689 which was an increase
of $68,749 over the balance at September 30, 1996. The increase was in raw
materials with declines in both work in process and finished goods. Trade
receivable balances were $1,032,775 versus $971,342 at September 30, 1996. The
current ratio was 2.36 at March 31, 1997 as compared to 2.35 at September 30,
1996.
