                       Report of Independent Accountants

February 25, 1999

To the Board of Directors and Shareowner 
of UTMC Microelectronic Systems, Inc. 


In our opinion,  the accompanying  balance sheets and the related  statements of
income and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position  of the  Integrated  Circuits  Business  unit of  UTMC  Microelectronic
Systems, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Technologies  Corporation) at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its  operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting  principles.  These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the management of UTMC Microelectronic  Systems, Inc.; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our audits.
We  conducted  our  audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audits 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,  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  relate to the operations of Integrated
Circuits Business unit of UTMC  Microelectronic  Systems,  Inc. Therefore,  such
financial  statements are not necessarily  indicative of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Integrated Circuits Business unit of
UTMC  Microelectronic  Systems,  Inc. in the future or indicative of the results
that would have been reported if the Integrated  Circuits  Business unit of UTMC
Microelectronic Systems, Inc had operated as a separate entity.

1.   Basis of Presentation and Organization
     Pursuant to a Stock Purchase  Agreement dated February 25, 1999 (Agreement)
     between  United   Technologies   Corporation   (UTC)  and  Aeroflex,   Inc.
     (Aeroflex), the operations comprising the Integrated Circuits Business unit
     (the  IC  Business)  of  UTMC  Microelectronic   Systems,  Inc.  (UTMC),  a
     wholly-owned  subsidiary of UTC, were sold to Aeroflex  effective  February
     25, 1999.

     Under the  terms of the  Agreement,  substantially  all of the  assets  and
     liabilities  of the  IC  Business  were  sold  with  the  exception  of the
     following:

     -    Inventories of silicon  wafers that are  identified  for, and uniquely
          suitable  for,  manufacture  and  incorporation  into the  products of
          Hamilton  Standard  (HS),  a  division  of UTC,  and all  intellectual
          property or other data  necessary for the design and  manufacture  and
          incorporation  thereof;
     -    All related party receivables and payables between the IC Business and
          its affiliates; and
     -    Certain liabilities related to retirement benefits,  welfare,  workers
          compensation and other employee benefits.

     Prior to 1997, UTMC was comprised of one business unit, the IC Business. In
     1997 and  subsequently,  UTMC was comprised of two business  units,  the IC
     Business and the Circuit Card Assembly Business (the CCA Business).

     Throughout  the  period  covered  by the  financial  statements,  UTMC  was
     conducted  and  accounted  for as an  operating  unit of HS.  Historically,
     separate  financial  statements  were  not  prepared  for  UTMC  or  the IC
     Business.  These  financial  statements  were derived  from the  historical
     accounting records of UTMC, and do not reflect the impact of the Agreement,
     with the exception of excluding the assets and liabilities discussed above.
     The excluded  assets and  liabilities  were  eliminated by a  corresponding
     adjustment  to  the  Parent   company   investment   account.   Changes  in
     indebtedness  between UTC and the IC  Business  are also  reflected  in the
     Parent company investment account in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

     The preparation of these financial  statements  required certain  carve-out
     adjustments to derive the total revenues,  expenses, assets and liabilities
     of the IC Business.  Such  adjustments have not been reflected in the books
     and  accounting  records of UTMC but are  necessary  to fairly  reflect the
     actual  historical  results of the IC Business.  The IC Business  financial
     statements  include  all costs  directly  associated  with the IC  Business
     operations such as cost of goods sold, research and development,  and sales
     and marketing.  Additionally, certain costs have been incurred by UTMC that
     have been allocated  among its two business  units,  one of which is the IC
     Business.  These costs relate to support and  administrative  functions and
<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements 
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   Basis of Presentation and Organization (Continued)
     are  allocated  to the IC Business  based on the ratio of the IC  Business'
     total  directly   identified  costs  as  compared  to  the  total  directly
     identified costs of UTMC.

     Certain  costs related to employee  benefit  programs,  including  employee
     insurance  programs,  are  incurred  by UTC and  allocated  to UTMC.  These
     allocated costs are charged to UTMC and recorded as an offsetting credit in
     the Parent  company  investment  account.  The costs  related  to  employee
     benefit  programs are  allocated to UTMC on an  actuarial  basis  utilizing
     participant and plan design data. Furthermore, HS provides certain services
     related to information systems support,  centralized  accounting functions,
     legal and quality control as well as administrative management. The cost of
     these services are allocated based on the ratio of the sum of a) net assets
     of UTMC as of the beginning of the year; b) projected sales of UTMC for the
     year; and c) projected  payroll of UTMC for the year to the sum of the same
     factors for all HS divisions.

     All  of  the  allocations  and  estimates  in  the  IC  Division  financial
     statements  are  based on  assumptions  that  UTC,  HS and UTMC  management
     believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The IC Business' financial
     statements  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of the  financial  position,
     results of  operations  and cash flows of the IC  Business in the future or
     indicative of the results that would have been reported.

     The IC  Business is engaged in  developing,  manufacturing,  marketing  and
     distributing  integrated circuits for the aerospace and defense industry in
     the United States and Canada.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Use of Estimates
     The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make
     estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets,
     liabilities,  revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     Risks and Uncertainties
     The business  environment  in which the IC Business  operates is subject to
     rapidly  changing  conditions.  Certain assets  include  estimates that are
     particularly sensitive to changes in the near term. Inventories and related
     specialized   manufacturing   equipment   may  be  subject  to  such  rapid
     technological change.

     Revenue Recognition
     Revenue  from  product   sales  is  recorded  at  shipment.   Revenue  from
     non-recurring   engineering  contracts  is  recorded  using  the  completed
     contract method. Such contracts are considered completed when the prototype
     is shipped. Prospective losses, if any, on these contracts are provided for

<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements 
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
     when  losses  are  anticipated.  Subject to  certain  restrictions,  the IC
     Business warrants its products for defects in materials and workmanship for
     a period of one year.  Accruals for estimated future product warranty costs
     are  provided at the time sales are  recognized  based upon the IC Business
     historical claim experience.

     Inventories
     Inventories  include  direct  material,   direct  labor  and  manufacturing
     overhead and are  accounted  for at the  lower-of-cost  or market using the
     standard cost method,  which approximated actual. The IC Business evaluates
     the  need  for  reserves   associated   with  obsolete,   slow-moving   and
     non-saleable  inventory by estimating  net realizable  values.  Inventoried
     costs in excess of  requirements  for contracts and current or  anticipated
     orders  have  been  reserved  and  written-off  in the  periods  that  such
     inventory  was  considered  obsolete  based on  projected  usage during the
     foreseeable future.

     Property, Plant and Equipment
     Property,  plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
     on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
<TABLE>

        <S>                             <C>   
        Building and improvements       20 to 40 years
        Furniture and fixtures          10 years
        Office equipment                3 to 5 years
        Machinery and equipment         5 years
</TABLE>
     Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Depreciation expense was
     $1,575,  $1,407 and $1,152 for the year ended  December 31, 1998,  1997 and
     1996,  respectively.  When  property and equipment are retired or otherwise
     disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
     the accounts and the net gain or loss is included in the  determination  of
     net income.

     Research and Development
     Research and development  costs not  specifically  covered by contracts are
     charged to expense as incurred.

     Income Taxes

     UTMC was included in the  consolidated  U.S.  federal  income tax return of
     UTC. Under an agreement with UTC,  income taxes are allocated to members of
     the  consolidated  group based upon amounts they would pay or receive as if
     they filed a separate income tax return.  The provision for income taxes of
     the IC Business has been prepared as if a separate U.S.  federal income tax
<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements 
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
     return had been prepared for such business on a stand-alone basis. Deferred
     income taxes are provided on the  differences  in the book and tax bases of
     assets and  liabilities at the statutory tax rates expected to be in effect
     when such  differences are reversed.  A valuation  allowance is provided on
     the tax benefits otherwise associated with certain tax attributes unless it
     is considered more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.  UTC
     incurs federal and certain state taxes on behalf of UTMC with an allocation
     of such  taxes  to the IC  Business.  The  financial  statements  of the IC
     Business  reflect the charge or benefit  related to the income taxes in the
     Parent company investment account. UTC prepares a combined state income tax
     return in  unitary  states.  State  taxes  were  allocated  to UTMC with an
     allocation to the IC Business  based on this unitary  filing.  UTMC files a
     stand-alone  return in Colorado where it has  accumulated  significant  net
     operating  loss  carryforwards.  See  further  discussion  of the state net
     operating loss carryforwards in Note 8.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The carrying amounts of the IC Business  financial  instruments,  including
     cash,   accounts   receivable,   accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses,
     approximate fair value.

     Long-Lived Assets
     The IC Business evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under
     the  provisions  of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121,
     Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
     Assets to be Disposed  of (SFAS 121).  In  accordance  with SFAS 121,  when
     appropriate,  the IC Business estimates the future  undiscounted cash flows
     of the operations to which the long-lived  assets relate to ensure that the
     carrying  value  has  not  been  impaired.   Management  believes  no  such
     impairment exists at December 31, 1998 or 1997.

     Significant Customers
     The IC Business had direct sales to a customer  that  accounted  for $8,288
     and $4,989 of total sales for the years ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996.
     No other  customers  accounted  for more  than 10% of total  sales  for any
     periods presented.

4.   Related Party Transactions

     Corporate Services
     The financial statements include significant transactions with HS involving
     functions  and services  that were provided to UTMC and allocated to the IC
     Business.  These services  include  information  systems  support,  certain
     centralized  accounting functions,  legal services and quality control. The
     costs of these  functions  and  services  allocated  to the IC Business was
     approximately  $716,  $665 and $677 for the years ended  December 31, 1998,
     1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Centralized Treasury Functions and Financing
     UTC provides  centralized  treasury functions and financing,  including all
     investing and  borrowing  activities  for UTMC.  As part of this  practice,
     surplus cash is remitted to UTC and UTC advances  cash,  as  necessary,  to
     UTMC. No interest is charged or paid on the net Parent  company  investment
     amount. A reconciliation of the Parent company  investment account activity
     for the IC Business for the period is as follows:

     Tax Arrangement
     See discussion in Note 2 under Income Taxes.

     Insurance Programs
     UTMC  participates  in UTC developed and  administered  employee  insurance
     programs, including group medical, workers compensation,  property, general
     and product liability coverage. Costs allocated to the IC Business relating
     to these programs was approximately $841, $955 and $907 for the years ended
     December  31,  1998,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Under these  insurance
     programs,  any group company  submitting a claim would be liable to pay any
     deductible amount required under the policy coverage,  depending upon type.
     It is likely that as a separate  company,  the IC Business would be subject
     to  differing  levels of insurance  premiums,  coverages  and  deductibles.
     However,  management  is not able to estimate  what the expense  would have
     been if the IC Business had operated as an unaffiliated entity.

4.   Related Party Transactions (Continued)

     Employee pension plans
     The IC Business  participates in two defined benefit pension plans covering
     substantially  all  employees.  For salaried  employees,  plan benefits are
     generally based on years of service and the employees  compensation  during
     the last several years of employment.  For hourly employees,  plan benefits
     are generally  based on years of service and the benefit level  established
     by UTC.  For  purposes  of the  financial  statements,  the IC  Business is
     considered to be a participant in multi-employer plans. Such costs and plan
     administrative costs allocated to the IC Business,  approximated $339, $422
     and  $778  for  the  years  ended   December  31,  1998,   1997  and  1996,
     respectively.  These balances are considered settled as accrued through the
     Parent company investment account. As discussed in Note 1, the liability as
     of December 31, 1998 is excluded from the sale of the IC Business.

     Employee savings plan
     The IC Business  participates  in UTCs Employee Stock  Ownership  Plan. The
     amounts  expensed  relative to the IC Business  employees  participation in
     that plan  totaled  $297,  $288 and $305 for the years ended  December  31,
     1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These balances are considered settled as
     accrued through the Parent company investment account. As discussed in Note
     1, the  liability as of December 31, 1998 is excluded  from the sale of the
     IC Business.

     At December 31, 1998, the IC Business had Colorado state net operating loss
     carryforwards of $190,301 which expire between 1999 and 2011.

     Based on the earnings performance of the past three years and the projected
     profitability  in the future,  management  believes  that it is more likely
     than not that the IC Business  will  continue to  generate  taxable  income
     sufficient  to realize a portion  of the tax  benefit  associated  with the
     Colorado state net operating loss carryforwards  prior to their expiration.
     Management has placed a valuation  allowance against the net operating loss
     carryforwards due to certain  limitations  caused by the possible change in
     ownership.  Management  did not include a valuation  allowance  against the
     non-limited Colorado net operating losses or the deferred tax assets in any
     prior periods.  If the IC Business is unable to generate sufficient taxable
     income in the future through operating results,  increases in the valuation
     allowance will be required  through a charge to income.  The Colorado state
     net  operating  losses  are shown as a deferred  tax asset,  net of federal
     benefit.

9.   Loss on Sale of Building

     During 1997, UTMC exercised its option to purchase a building  subleased to
     a third party.  The total  purchase  price of the building was $4,316.  The
     agreement  reached with the lessor also  required UTMC to pay $3,807 to the
     lessor  representing the amount of rent accrued on a straight-line basis in
     excess of the cash payments since the inception of the lease.  The building
     and related  land were  resold,  during  1997,  for $4,275,  net of closing
     costs, resulting in a loss of $1,705.

10.  Commitments
     UTMC has various lease  agreements  for office space and  equipment.  These
     lease  agreements  expire at various  dates through  October  2000.  Future
     minimum rental  payments  allocated to the IC Business at December 31, 1998
     are $54 and  $23 in 1999  and  2000,  respectively.  Total  rental  expense
     allocated  to the IC Business for the years ended  December 31, 1998,  1997
     and 1996 was $182, $336 and $1,181, respectively.

     In  conjunction  with the sale of the IC Business,  a facilities  lease and
     services agreement has been executed between HS and Aeroflex. The agreement
     provides  HS with  facilities  space  for a  limited  period  of time.  The
     agreement also provides for certain  transition  services to be provided by
     HS and  provides  for  certain  staff  support  for the CCA  Business to be
     provided by Aeroflex for a limited  period of time. The total lease and net
     services  fee to be paid  by HS is  $6,000  payable  in  twenty-four  equal
     monthly installments. The agreement expires in February 2001.

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
               --------------------------------------------------

A.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     ---------------------
     The accompanying  pro forma financial  statements  (unaudited)  present the
financial  position  and  results of  operations  of Aeroflex  Incorporated  and
subsidiaries  ("ARX") giving effect to the  acquisition of UTMC  Microelectronic
Systems, Inc. ("UTMC").  Prior to the acquisition,  UTMC distributed by dividend
to its  parent,  United  Technologies  Corporation  ("UTC"),  the assets and UTC
assumed the  liabilities of the Circuit Card Assembly  ("CCA") portion of UTMC's
business.  UTMC,  at  acquisition,  consisted  of only  the  Integrated  Circuit
Business.  The  pro  forma  financial  statements  do  not  include  the  assets
distributed to UTC, the liabilities  assumed by UTC or the results of operations
of the CCA  Business.  The  acquisition  of UTMC by ARX was  accounted  for as a
purchase and  accordingly,  the purchase  price was  allocated to the assets and
liabilities of UTMC based on their fair values at February 25, 1999 (the date of
acquisition).

     For the purpose of the pro forma balance sheet and the pro forma statements
of operations,  it is assumed that the acquisition occurred on December 31, 1998
and July 1, 1997,  respectively.  The pro forma statements of operations for the
year ended June 30, 1998 and for the six months  ended  December 31, 1998 do not
include a one-time charge of $3,500,000  which was recorded upon  acquisition to
reflect the  write-off of the purchase  price  allocated to acquired in- process
research and development.

B.   PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS
     -------------------------------------
     The pro forma financial  statements of ARX give effect to the following pro
forma adjustments and assumptions:

          1.   To record the  acquisition  of UTMC stock by ARX as  described in
               Item 2 on Form 8-K filed on February 25, 1999.

          2.   To record the a) purchase  price of  $42,500,000  in cash,  first
               from  available  cash and the balance from  borrowings  under the
               Registrant's term loan agreement,  b) capitalized financing costs
               c)  elimination  of  UTMC's  equity   accounts,   d)  capitalized
               acquisition costs, and e) allocation of the purchase price to the
               fair  value  of the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed,
               including,  for  purposes  of the pro forma  balance  sheet,  the
               aforementioned  $3,500,000  write-off  of the  fair  value of the
               acquired in-process research and development.

          3.   To record a)  depreciation  and  amortization  based on estimated
               remaining  lives of assets (ranging from six to fifteen years for
               intangibles) and adjustment to fair value of assets acquired,  b)
               interest  expense on  additional  bank  borrowings  and  interest
