PART III--NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
The Company's $3,000,000 bank revolving credit facility expired on January
31, 1995. The Company is currently in negotiations with several other banks to
replace the former line of credit. The foregoing negotiations, together with
several other business matters of the Company, have diverted a significant
amount of dedicated management time which otherwise would have been applied to
the preparation of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Registrant
intends to file its Form 10-Q as promptly as practicable, but in any event
within the 5 calendar day extension period provided under this Form 12b-25.

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
Due to the Registrant's significant investment in its commercial color
printer technology and lower military-related revenues, management anticipates
an approximate $1.575 million loss in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. In the
first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Registrant recorded a net loss of $242,000 on
sales of $5.6 million.
Datametrics Corporation has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
