     necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.
     Results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the year.

C.   Change in Accounting for Income Taxes
     -------------------------------------

               Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Financial
     Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income
     Taxes".  Under the provisions of this new standard, the Company must now
     recognize, to a greater degree, the future tax benefits of certain expenses
     which previously had been recognized in the financial statements without
     tax benefit.  As permitted by the standard, the Company has elected not to
     restate the financial statements of any prior periods.  The change was
     applied retroactively to certain elements of deferred income taxes
     originating in prior years and resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment
     of $1,379,000, which is included in net income for the first quarter of
     fiscal 1994.

               Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and 
     liabilities for federal and states income taxes as of October 1, 1993
     are as follows (in thousands):

D.   Review by Independent Accountants

               A review of the data presented was made by Ernst & Young,
     independent accountants, in accordance with established professional
     standards and procedures, and their report is included herein.

           ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                               December 31, 1993


Sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1993, were
down 7% from the same quarter in the previous year due to lower sales volume in
the defense systems segment.  This decrease is a continuation of the trend which
has occurred over the last several years, resulting from Department of Defense
spending cuts which have caused increased competition in the instrumentation and
training market segment.  Sales in the automatic revenue collection systems
segment were at about the same level as in the first quarter of the previous
fiscal year.

Operating profits in the electronic defense systems segment were lower than in
the first quarter of fiscal 1993, reflecting the lower sales volume and lower
profit margins on defense contracts.  Operating profits in the automatic revenue
collection systems segment were also lower than last year primarily as the
result of increased selling, general and administrative expenses, as described
below.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 20% of sales in the
first quarter of fiscal 1993 to 23% of sales in the first quarter of the current
fiscal year.  This resulted from an increase in international selling
activities and legal expenses, primarily in the automatic revenue collection
systems segment.

The provisions for income taxes in both periods were low in comparison to
statutory income tax rates because of the Company's tax exempt interest and
dividend income and equity share in the net income of its 50% owned foreign
subsidiary.

The Company's financial condition remains strong with working capital of $123.0
million at December 31, 1993, up from $116.9 million at September 30, 1993.  The
Company's subsidiary, Cubic Toll Systems, Inc., borrowed $4.5 million during the
quarter, through its revolving credit facility, to finance the on-going
construction of toll equipment for lease to customers.

The backlog of orders for the continuing operations was $265.6 million at
December 31, 1993 compared to $246.7 million at September 30, 1993 and $270.5
million at December 31, 1992.

              EXHIBIT 28 -- INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT


Board of Directors
Cubic Corporation
San Diego, California


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of Cubic
Corporation as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated condensed
statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended December
31, 1993 and 1992.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed
for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Cubic Corporation as of September
30, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings,
and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report
dated December 8, 1993, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at September 30, 1993, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.
