              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994




NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore,
do not include all information and footnotes which would be presented were such
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.  In
the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim period presented. The results of operations for such interim period are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each
period taking into consideration primary and fully diluted shares.

NOTE C - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 16, 1995 the stockholders of the Company approved the purchase of all
the outstanding capital stock of Efratom Time and Frequency Products, Inc., a
Colorado corporation, and Ball Efratom Elektronik GmbH, a corporation organized
under the laws of the Republic of Germany (collectively, Efratom). The purchase
price consisted of $15,000,000 cash and 1,277,778 shares of Datum common stock.
The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment
based on a comparison of the working capital and fixed assets of Efratom as of
August 7, 1994 and as of March 17, 1995.  The acquisition closed on March 17,
1995.

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

The following should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" presented in the
Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Results of Operations

Consolidated product sales increased 31.7% for the quarter ended March 31,
1995, when compared to the corresponding quarter of 1994.  The increase was
primarily due to the growth of our Local Area Network product line and to the
acquisition of Efratom on March 17, 1995,  which added two weeks of new sales
to Datum.

Cost of products sold for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, was 56.4%, compared
with 58.6% for the corresponding quarter of 1994.  The increased margin
percentage was due to a more favorable product mix in most of the operating
divisions.

Selling expense as a percent of sales was 16.2% for the quarter ended March 31,
1995, the same as the corresponding quarter of 1994.  The increase in absolute
dollars was partially due to the addition of Efratom (two weeks).

Product development expense as a percentage of sales increased to 9.6% of the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared with 7.3% for the corresponding quarter
of 1994.  This was largely attributable to the higher level of investment in
telecommunication products, but also reflects a maintained level of development
activity in GPS receivers, LAN synchronization products and cesium standards.
Also, Efratom product development expense, as a percentage of sales, is higher
than that of the other divisions of Datum.

General and Administrative expense as a percent of sales was 12.3% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to 12.2% for the corresponding quarter
in 1994.

With the acquisition of Efratom came an increase in borrowing of $15 million
for part of the purchase price and up to an additional $7 million to cover the
increased daily working capital needs of the combined operations.  The increase
in interest expense reflects the additional interest paid for two weeks on the
increased loan commitment.

Net income as a percent of sales decreased to 2.4% in the current quarter from
3.0% in the same quarter of 1994. The added cost of product development and
interest expense due to the acquisition accounted for this differential.

The prorated portion of shares issued to Ball Corporation for the acquisition
of Efratom added the equivalent shares from March 17, 1995 and, to a lesser
extent, the exercise of stock options also added to shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Accounts receivable, including accounts receivable unbilled, increased from
$6,304,000 at December 31, 1994 to $15,167,000 at March 31, 1995.  The major
reason for the increase is the presence of Efratom receivables of $7,800,000
not applicable on December 31, 1994.

Inventories increased from $6,992,000 at December 31, 1994, to $15,990,000 at
March 31, 1995.  The increase is driven by the addition of $8,400,000 of
Efratom inventories not present on December 31, 1994.

Accounts payable increased from $1,598,000 at December 31, 1994 to $3,668,000
at March 31, 1995.  The Efratom acquisition accounts for this increase.

At March 31, 1995 the Company had working capital of $16,084,000 and a current
ratio of 2.0:1.  This compares to working capital of $8,684,000 and a current
ratio of 2.4:1 at December 31, 1994.  The moderate decline in the current ratio
is the result of the large current loan balance associated with financing the
Efratom acquisition.

The notes payable to the bank reflects the revolving line with the bank which
increased to a maximum of $11,000,000.  The balance reflects usage to date and
includes $4,000,000 utilized as a portion of the $15,000,000 cash purchase
price of Efratom.  The additional usage is partially to cover the higher levels
of accounts receivable and inventory.

Effective March 17, 1995, the Company entered into a credit arrangement with
its bank for a credit facility to contain (i) an $11,000,000 revolving line of
credit; (ii) a $2,500,000 term loan payable over six (6) years; (iii) a
$2,500,000 term loan amortized over 25 years, payable in five (5) years; (iv) a
$6,000,000 term loan payable over four (4) years. All the loans have interest
payable at the bank's prime rate plus .5% to .75%.  The loans are secured by
accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and equipment of Datum and Efratom.
The credit arrangement is effective through June 6, 1996.

The current portion of long-term debt reflects the banking arrangements
described above which are due and payable in a twelve month period.

The Company believes that the available credit line and funds generated by
operations are adequate to continue the Company's business as presently
conducted.
