NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND
DESCRIPTION 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.
The Company markets and distributes its products throughout the United
States and abroad through some 15 domestic sales representatives and 24
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
manufacturers, although these are not generally competitive with the
Company's products except that some items handled by foreign
distributors may be somewhat competitive.
B. 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 could differ from those estimates.
C. 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.
D. Inventories - stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
E. Plant and equipment - Depreciation and amortization are calculated by
the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates
based on the following estimated useful lives:
Building and improvement 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 is 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.
F. Financial risk - The Company regularly maintains bank account balances
in excess of FDIC insurable limit.
G. 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, based on the weight of available evidence and
the probability that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized.
H. Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments include
cash, cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, 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.
I. Stock-Based Compensation - The Company has elected to follow Account
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB25) and related interpretations in accounting for its
employee stock options. Under APB25, because the exercise price of
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock
on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. Effective
October 1, 1997, the Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123).

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Commitments:
A. Retirement Plans:
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 $33,792 and
$37,581 for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
B. Employee Stock Options Plans:
On February 26, 1987, the Stockholders approved the 1987 Incentive
Stock Option Plan, the 1987 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the
1987 Stock Option Program for Non-Employee Directors. Subject to
the provisions of these plans, an aggregate of 150,000 shares of
the Company's stock was made available for option purchases;
namely, 75,000 shares, 37, 500 shares and 37,500 shares,
respectively. The plans ended effective December 1996 and no

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
Department. Costs associated with this site are charged directly to
income as incurred. The owner of this site has notified the Company
that if the NJDEP investigation proves to have interfered with a
sale of the property, the owner 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. Costs charged to operations in connection
with the water management plan amounted to $57,205 and $43,173 for
the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
Company estimates the expenditures in this regard for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1999 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. Contingent Subscription and Option Agreement:
On June 30, 1997, the Board of Directors of Boonton Electronics
Corporation (BEC) agreed to enter into a Subscription and Option
Agreement with G.E.M. USA, Inc. (GEM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
General Electronique Mesure, S.A., whereby GEM shall have the
option to buy 435,984 shares of the common stock of BEC at an
option price of $3.24 per share. The term of the option agreement
shall be for a period of two years. GEM paid BEC $25,000 for this
option and simultaneously purchased 7,716 shares of BEC's common
stock from the corporation for $25,000.

Inc. (B&K), a wholly owned subsidiary of GEM, as additional
consideration for the above noted option. B&K shall pay BEC a
monthly management fee of $15,000 and shall also pay rent at the
same price per square foot as BEC for the area sublet to B&K.
The effective date on both the above-noted agreements was October
1, 1997, one day subsequent to the fiscal year end, September 30,

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for

"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".

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
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).
The following is a reconciliation of income taxes at the federal
statutory rate.

utilized to reduce future taxable income dollar for dollar.

NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 2,314,765 for 1999 and
1,644,301 for 1998. Options to purchase a total of 428,268 shares of common
stock at $3.24 per share were not included because the exercise price exceeded
the average market price, which would result in antidilution. Incentive stock
options to purchase 26,500 shares in 1998 and 26,500 shares in 1997 were not
included because they were insignificant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF INCOME STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Sales for the six months ended March 31, 1999 were $194,775 higher than
the prior year. The increase in sales was primarily due to major export
shipments in the second quarter. Gross profit increased by $26,952 over the same
period last year, the result of higher sales. Commissions were higher due to
higher export sales, which reflect a higher commission rate. Sales and Marketing
expenses were up slightly, while Research and Development expenses decreased by
$86,141 primarily due to the capitalization of outside software and hardware
development costs. Other expenses increased by $65,825 over last year. There was
a loss from operations of $38,187 as compared to a $40,797 profit from
operations in the prior year.
The March 31, 1999 inventory balance was $246,241 higher than the
September 30, 1998 balance of $1,444,245 and $148,425 higher than the December
31, 1998 balance. Trade receivables were down $305,198 from the September 30,
1998 balance, while cash increased by 24%. The current ratio as of March 31,
1999 was 2.5 compared with 2.1 as of September 30, 1998. In October, 1998, the
final payment to unsecured creditors was made.
