1. Restatement
   -----------

In the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company learned that its 
customer for an $8.8 million remote sensing satellite (RSS) image 
processing facility intended for installation in the Middle East 
was not able to obtain funding for the order.  The Company had 
booked and announced this order in July 1995 and commenced work on 
it shortly thereafter.  The Company's customer, who is acting as 
prime contractor for a larger project that includes the RSS 
facility, has not been able to obtain funding from its customer for 
the image processing facility.  Because the order was conditioned 
upon funding, and after an extensive assessment of its likelihood 
of being funded, the Company canceled the order in January 1996 for 
lack of payment.  Negotiations to reinstate the order are underway, 
but it is not possible as of the date of this filing to predict the 
outcome of those negotiations.

After a careful examination of the facts and circumstances, the 
Company concluded that, because the RSS order was conditioned upon 
funding that has not been obtained, its financial statements for 
the second quarter ended September 30, 1995 required restatement to 
remove from net sales for the quarter $1,785,000 attributable to 
the order and originally included in net sales using the percentage 
completion method of accounting.  The information presented below 
is a summary of the impact of the restatement on the unaudited 
financial statements for the quarter and six-month periods ended 
September 30, 1995 (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

7. Long-Term Debt
   --------------

On  August 17, 1995, the Company increased the limit of its 
revolving credit line with its bank to $26,535,000, comprised of 
$18,000,000 for the issuance of letters of credit and $8,535,000 
for direct working capital advances.  Maturity of the credit line 
was extended to December 31, 1997 and interest payable on 
borrowings under the line of credit was reduced to the bank's prime 
rate plus 0.50% or to LIBOR plus 1.50%, at the option of the 
Company.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations.

Datron Systems Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the 
"Company") report operations in two business segments:  
Communication Products and Services (formerly called the Radio 
Communication Products business segment), and Antenna and Imaging 
Systems (formerly called the Antenna and Satellite Communication 
Systems business segment).  The Communication Products and Services 
business segment designs, manufactures and distributes high 
frequency and very high frequency radios and accessories.  The 
Antenna and Imaging Systems business segment designs and 
manufactures specialized satellite communication systems, 
subsystems and antennas, and provides ground station hardware, 
software and image processing systems for the remote sensing 
market.

Restatement
- -----------

In the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company learned that its 
customer for an $8.8 million remote sensing satellite (RSS) image 
processing facility intended for installation in the Middle East 
was not able to obtain funding for the order.  The Company had 
booked and announced this order in July 1995 and commenced work on 
it shortly thereafter.  The Company's customer, who is acting as 
prime contractor for a larger project that includes the RSS 
facility, has not been able to obtain funding from its customer for 
the image processing facility.  Because the order was conditioned 
upon funding, and after an extensive assessment of its likelihood 
of being funded, the Company canceled the order in January 1996 for 
lack of payment.  Negotiations to reinstate the order are underway, 
but it is not possible as of the date of this filing to predict the 
outcome of those negotiations.

After a careful examination of the facts and circumstances, the 
Company concluded that, because the RSS order was conditioned upon 
funding that has not been obtained, its financial statements for 
the second quarter ended September 30, 1995 required restatement to 
remove from net sales for the quarter $1,785,000 attributable to 
the order and originally included in net sales using the percentage 
completion method of accounting.  The discussion that follows 
includes the effects of that restatement.

<PAGE>7

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 decreased 58% to 
$327,000 or $0.12 per share compared with net income of $773,000 or 
$0.30 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Net sales in 
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $15,660,000, a 3% decrease 
from net sales of $16,088,000 in the second quarter last fiscal 
year.  The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower sales of 
remote sensing systems partially offset by higher sales of radio 
products.  The decrease in net income resulted primarily from 
increased selling expenses and research and development expenses, 
partially offset by higher gross profits.

Net income for the six months ended September 30, 1995 decreased 
36% to $742,000 or $0.28 per share compared with net income of 
$1,166,000 or $0.45 per share for the comparable period last fiscal 
year.  Net sales for the six months were $30,016,000, a 6% increase 
from net sales of $28,220,000 for the first six months last fiscal 
year.  The increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales of 
radio products.  The decrease in net income resulted from increased 
selling expenses and research and development expenses, partially 
offset by higher gross profits on the higher sales.

Operating results for each business segment were as follows:

</TABLE>
Sales of Communication Products and Services in the second quarter 
and in the first six months of fiscal 1996 were 40% higher and 28% 
higher, respectively, than they were in the comparable periods of 
fiscal 1995.  Sales were higher because of a faster turn around of 
new order bookings for standard radio products.

Gross profit on sales of Communication Products and Services was 
32.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 30.6% in 
the second quarter last fiscal year.  The increase in the recent 
quarter was primarily due to a reclassification of certain overhead 
expenses that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and 
which resulted in lower gross profits that quarter.  Gross profit 
for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was 32.0% of sales compared 
with 34.3% of sales for the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The 
decrease was primarily due to a less favorable sales mix of 
products and services in the recent six months and to higher 
materials and overhead expenses.

Operating income from sales of Communication Products and Services 
was 10.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 14.3% 
in the second quarter last fiscal year.  The decrease resulted 
primarily from higher international selling expenses and from 
higher administrative expenses related to the Company's decision 
not to continue pursuit of the satellite paging business.  
Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was 7.7% 
of sales compared with 10.6% of sales for the first six months of 
fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to lower gross 
profits, higher international selling expenses and higher 
administrative expenses.

</TABLE>
Sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products decreased 26% in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with the second quarter of 
fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to lower sales of 
remote sensing satellite systems. The awards of several orders for 
such systems, including the RSS order described in Note 1 to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements, have been delayed.  It is 
uncertain whether these delayed orders will be awarded and whether 
the Company will receive those orders if they are awarded.  Sales 
in the first six months of fiscal 1996 were 5% lower than in the 
first six months of fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to 
lower sales of remote sensing satellite systems.

Gross profit on sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products was 
30.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 27.6% in 
the second quarter last fiscal year.  The increase was primarily 
due to lower manufacturing costs associated with a more favorable 
mix of profitable contracts.  Gross profit for the first six months 
of fiscal 1996 increased to  36.0% of sales compared with 29.2% of 
sales for the first six months of fiscal 1995 for the same reason.

Operating income from sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products 
was 0.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 7.9% in 
the second quarter last fiscal year.  The decrease resulted from 
higher research and development expenses and higher international 
selling expenses, partially offset by higher gross profits.  
Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 1996 decreased 
to 5.3% of sales compared with 9.3% of sales for the first six 
months fiscal 1995 for the same reason.


Consolidated expenses were as follows:

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,709,000 in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996, a 26% increase compared with second 
quarter of fiscal 1995 expenses of $2,934,000.  The increase was 
primarily due to higher selling expenses associated with the 
Company's focus on international markets in both segments of its 
business.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 
first six months of fiscal 1996 were $7,403,000, a 22% increase 
from the first six months of fiscal 1995 expenses of $6,075,000 for 
the same reason.

Research and development (R & D) expenses were $704,000 in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with $369,000 in the second 
quarter last fiscal year.  The 91% increase resulted from an 
acceleration of development programs for Direct Broadcast Satellite 
(DBS) television antennas for recreational vehicles, long-haul 
trucks and commercial aviation.  R & D expenses in the first six 
months of fiscal 1996 were $1,699,000, a 142% increase from the 
first six months of fiscal 1995 expenses of $703,000.  The Company 
has identified the DBS television market for the mobile user as a 
potential major new market for its products.  R & D expenditures 
and new market development expenditures are likely to increase 
during the next several quarters as the Company seeks to establish 
a dominant position in that market.  The Company estimates that the 
increased spending will lower fiscal 1996 net income from what it 
would otherwise have been without the pursuit of the DBS market by 
as much as $1,300,000 or approximately $0.50 per share.

Order backlog at September 30 was as follows:

				                                   	===========      ===========
</TABLE>
The 15% decrease in Communication Products and Services backlog at 
September 30, 1995 resulted primarily from a faster turn around of 
new order bookings to sales during the first six months of fiscal 
1996 than for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The 49% 
decrease in Antenna and Imaging Systems backlog at September 30, 
1995 was primarily due to continued customer delays in the award of 
several anticipated international orders for remote sensing systems 
and to a continued decline in U.S Department of Defense business.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

At September 30, 1995, working capital was $16,680,000 compared 
with $14,241,000 at March 31, 1995, an increase of $2,439,000 or 
17%.  Major changes affecting working capital during this period 
were the following:  accounts receivable increased $2,343,000 due 
to strong September sales; inventories increased $2,062,000 to meet 
production requirements for new radio orders and for anticipated 
DBS antenna and remote sensing system orders; and accounts payable 
and accrued expenses decreased $958,000.  The Company borrowed 
$1,200,000 in term debt from its bank during the first six months 
to meet the resulting cash requirement.

Capital equipment expenditures were $862,000 during the first six 
months of fiscal 1996 compared with $1,534,000 for the first six 
months last fiscal year.  The decrease was primarily due to lower 
purchases of equipment for the Communication Products and Services 
business segment.

On August 17, 1995, the Company increased the limit of its 
revolving credit line with its bank to $26,535,000, comprised of an 
$18,000,000 credit limit for the issuance of letters of credit and 
an $8,535,000 credit limit for direct working capital advances.  
The Company believes that its existing working capital, anticipated 
future cash flows from operations and available credit with its 
bank are sufficient to finance presently planned capital and 
working capital requirements.
