     the Company's consolidated financial position as of September 30, 1995, the
     results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 1995
     and 1994 and cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 1995 and
     1994. The results of operations for the three and six months ended
     September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year.

2)   Earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings by
     the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock
     outstanding during each period. For the three and six month periods ended
     September 30, 1995, the computation of primary earnings per share included
     approximately 170,000 and 171,000 shares, respectively, from the assumed
     exercise of dilutive stock options computed using the treasury stock
     method. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1995, the
     computation of fully diluted earnings per share included approximately
     49,000 and 25,000 shares, respectively, from the assumed conversion of the
     Company's 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures. Options
     outstanding to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the
     computation of earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended
     September 30, 1994, because their effect was not material. Furthermore,
     additional shares assumed to be outstanding applicable to the Company's
     8 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were also excluded from the
     computations for all periods presented, as their effect on earnings per
     share was antidilutive.

3)   On July 5, 1995 (the "Closing Date"), Photronics Corp, a New York
     corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Photronics"),
     acquired (through OMI Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of Photronics), substantially all of the assets of
     Opto Mechanik, Inc. ("OMI"), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to an
     Agreement for Acquisition of Assets dated May 24, 1995, as amended July 5,
     1995, between Photronics and OMI (the "Agreement"), and approved by the
     United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida on June
     23, 1995. OMI, located in Melbourne, Florida, designs and manufactures
     electro-optical sighting and targeting systems used primarily in military
     fire control devices and in various weapons systems.

     Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid a total of $5,450,000
     consisting of i) $1,150,000 in cash to PNC Bank, Kentucky, Inc. ("PNC"),
     ii) a note to PNC in the principal amount of $1,450,000 payable in forty
     eight (48) equal monthly installments of principal and interest commencing
     with the first day of the month subsequent to the Closing Date (the "PNC
     Note"), iii) $2,550,000 in cash to MetLife Capital Corporation and iv) a
     note in the principal amount of $300,000 to OMI payable in six (6) equal
     monthly installments of principal and interest commencing on August 5, 1995
     (the "OMI Note"). The PNC Note bears interest at a floating rate equal to
     the lesser of i) PNC's stated prime interest rate plus 0.5% or ii) the
     prime rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal plus 0.5%. The OMI Note
     bears interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum. In addition, the Company
     incurred approximately $585,000 in professional fees and other costs
     associated with the acquisition. Total cash consideration paid in the
     acquisition was obtained from the Company's working capital.

     The acquisition of OMI has been accounted for under the purchase method.
     The operating results of OMI Acquisition Corp., the acquiring corporation,
     have been included in reported operating results since the date of
     acquisition. The cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of
     the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and the liabilities
     assumed. The excess of the fair market value of net assets over total cost
     of the acquisition has been

                                       6

<PAGE>

     recorded as a reduction of long term assets, principally as a reduction to
     property, plant and equipment, at cost.

4)   On September 29, 1995 (the "Debenture Closing Date"), the Company completed
     a private placement of $20,000,000 in principal amount of 9.0% Senior
     Subordinated Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures"). Net proceeds from
     the private placement were approximately $19,000,000. On November 3, 1995,
     the Company completed the placement of an additional $5,000,000 in
     principal amount of Debentures, as provided for under the over-allotment
     option provisions of the Purchase Agreement between the Company and Forum
     Capital Markets L.P ("Forum") dated September 22, 1995. Net proceeds from
     this secondary placement were approximately $4,750,000. Pursuant to the
     related Registration Rights Agreement dated September 22, 1995 between the
     Company and Forum, acting on behalf of holders of the Debentures (the
     "Agreement"), the Company has agreed to file a shelf registration statement
     relating to the Debentures and the shares of Class A Common Stock which are
     issuable from time to time upon conversion of the Debentures, within ninety
     (90) days after the Debenture Closing Date, and to cause the registration
     statement to become effective within one hundred fifty (150) days after the
     Debenture Closing Date. In addition, the Company has agreed to use its
     reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement effective until
     at least the third anniversary of the issuance of the Debentures. The
     Company expects to complete this registration within the timeframe
     specified in the Agreement. In connection with these transactions, the
     Company expects to incur approximately $500,000 of professional fees and
     other costs. These costs, together with Forum's commissions, will be
     amortized ratably through the maturity date of the Debentures.

     Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October
     1, commencing April 1, 1996. The Debentures are convertible at any time
     prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares
     of the Company's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value, at a conversion
     price of $8.85 per share, subject to adjustment under certain
     circumstances. The Debentures become due and payable in full on October 1,
     2003; there are no sinking fund payments required prior to maturity. The
     Company may redeem outstanding Debentures, in whole or in part, on or after
     October 1, 1998, at redemption prices ranging from 100% to 105% of par
     value, plus accrued interest.

     The related Indenture Agreement between the Company and The Trust Company
     of New Jersey dated September 29, 1995 (the "Indenture") contains certain
     restrictions, covenants and agreements with respect to the operations and
     financial reporting requirements of the Company, including, but not limited
     to, the maintenance of consolidated net worth, limitations on the amount
     and types of indebtedness incurred by Company, limitations on liens upon
     the assets of the Company, limitations on investments, dividends and other
     distributions, limitations on transactions with related persons and
     limitations on the sale or transfer of corporate assets. As of September
     30, 1995, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Under the
     terms of the Indenture, the Debentures are subject to partial mandatory
     redemption should consolidated net worth (as defined in the Indenture) fall
     below $18,000,000 for any two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters. The
     Debentures are also subject to mandatory redemption upon a change in
     control (as defined in the Indenture).

5)   The Company's industrial revenue bonds, due 1998, are supported by an
     irrevocable, direct-pay letter of credit in an amount equal to the
     principal balance plus interest thereon for 45 days. At September 30, 1995,
     the contingent liability of the Company as guarantor under the letter of
     credit was approximately $1,930,000. The Company has collateralized the
     letter of credit with accounts receivable and also has agreed to certain
     financial covenants, including the maintenance of: (i) a certain minimum
     ratio of consolidated tangible net worth to total debt (the "Debt Ratio"),
     (ii) a certain minimum quarterly ratio of earnings before interest and
     taxes to interest (the "Interest Ratio"), and (iii) a certain minimum
     balance of billed and unbilled accounts receivable ("Eligible
     Receivables"), all as defined in the related agreements. At September 30,
     1995, the covenants required (i) a Debt Ratio of 0.6:1, (ii) an Interest
     Ratio of 1.5:1, and (iii) Eligible Receivables of $2,500,000. As a result
     of the issuance of the Debentures as described in Note 4 above, the Debt
     Ratio at September 30, 1995 was 0.4:1. The Company has obtained a waiver,
     renewable annually, from the bank of the required debt ratio and is in
     compliance with all other covenants under the letter of credit.

     Revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995 increased
45.6% to $22.8 million from $15.7 million for the same three-month period in
fiscal 1995. On a year-to-date basis, revenues increased 26.5% to $40.1 million
from $31.7 million for the same six-month period in fiscal 1995. The growth was
due primarily to increased shipments of display workstations coupled with
shipments, in the current fiscal year, of magnetic head products by Ahead
Technologies, Inc., whose net assets were acquired in November 1994, and
revenues from the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Opto
Mechanik, Inc. on July 5, 1995 (the "OMI Acquisition"), which increased the
Company's electro-optical sighting systems business.

     Operating income for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995
increased 56.3% to $1.8 million from $1.2 million for the same three-month
period in fiscal 1995. On a year-to-date basis, operating income increased 40.0%
to $3.2 million from $2.3 million for the same six-month period in fiscal 1995.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 8.1% and 7.9% for the
three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively, as
compared with 7.5% and 7.1%, respectively, for the comparable prior year
periods. Higher operating income in both periods was due primarily to the
overall increase in revenues, together with higher margins earned on the
company's commercial products, display systems product line and manufacturing
services.

     Interest and related expenses were $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the
second quarter and first half of fiscal 1996, respectively as compared to $0.3
million and $0.7 million for the comparable prior year periods. The increase for
the second quarter was primarily due to the increase in debt associated with the
OMI Acquisition at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 1996, offset in
part by a reduction in interest from repurchases of the Company's 8 1/2%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "8 1/2% Debentures").

     Other income, net was $27,000 and $0.1 million for the three-month and
six-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively, representing decreases
from comparable prior year periods, primarily due to the lower average cash
balances.

     The Company's effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods
ended September 30, 1995 was 39%, as compared to 37.0% and 40.0% for the
comparable prior year periods. The Company records income tax expense based on
an estimated effective income tax rate for the full fiscal year. The effective
income tax rate and the components of income tax expense for the second quarter
and first half of fiscal 1996 did not significantly change from those of the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. The provision for income taxes includes all
estimated income taxes payable to federal and state governments as applicable.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

     Cash and Cash Flow: Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1995 and
March 31, 1995 represented approximately 25% and 17%, respectively, of total
assets. During the six-month period ended September 30, 1995, cash increased
$9.8 million. This increase was primarily the result of the private placement of
$20,000,000 in principal amount of 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures
(the "Debentures") on September 29, 1995. In addition, approximately $2.4
million was generated from sales of certain fixed assets. These contributions to
cash were offset by uses of: i) approximately $4.1 million in the OMI
Acquisition; ii) approximately $2.2 million for repurchases of outstanding 8
1/2% Debentures in satisfaction of the August 1, 1995 sinking fund requirement
for such debt and iii) approximately $2.0 million for capital expenditures.
Additionally, approximately $3.3 million was used in support of operations,
primarily to settle accounts payable and other current obligations of the
Company.

                                       9

<PAGE>


     Capital expenditures during fiscal 1996 are expected to approximate $4.4
million. The majority of these expenditures will be for computer and
laboratory-related equipment, as well as for facilities improvements.

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company obtained a $5.0
million unsecured line of credit from NatWest Bank which may be used to
supplement its working capital needs. As of September 30, 1995, there were no
balances outstanding under this line of credit. The net proceeds from the
private placement will be used to repurchase $5.0 million in principal amount of
outstanding 8 1/2% Debentures, for working capital requirements and for future
acquisition-related transactions. The Company believes that its current working
capital position is sufficient to support operational needs as well as its
near-term business objectives.

     Accounts Receivable and Inventories: Accounts receivable increased
approximately $1.5 million in the six-month period ended September 30, 1995,
primarily as a result of the OMI Acquisition, offset in part by decreases in
existing account balances. Generally, there are no contract provisions for
retainage, and all accounts receivable are expected to be collected within one
year. Inventories increased by approximately $3.8 million during the first half
of fiscal 1996, also reflecting the effect of the OMI Acquisition. The increase
in inventories was also due, in part, to increased material procurement related
to the production of certain display workstation programs.

     Backlog: At September 30, 1995, the Company's backlog of orders was
approximately $160 million as compared to $126 million at March 31, 1995. The
increase in backlog for the first half of the year was due to the net effect of
bookings, partially offset by revenues, and the addition of approximately $15.5
million of backlog from the OMI Acquisition. New contract awards of
approximately $58.7 million were booked during the six-month period ended
September 30, 1995.

Acquisition

     On July 5, 1995 (the "Closing Date"), Photronics Corp, a New York
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Photronics"),
acquired (through OMI Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Photronics), substantially all of the assets of Opto
Mechanik, Inc. ("OMI"), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to an Agreement for
Acquisition of Assets dated May 24, 1995, as amended July 5, 1995, between
Photronics and OMI (the "Agreement"), and approved by the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida on June 23, 1995. OMI,
located in Melbourne, Florida, designs and manufactures electro-optical sighting
and targeting systems used primarily in military fire control devices and in
various weapons systems.

     Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid a total of $5,450,000
consisting of i) $1,150,000 in cash to PNC Bank, Kentucky, Inc. ("PNC"), ii) a
note to PNC in the principal amount of $1,450,000 payable in forty eight (48)
equal monthly installments of principal and interest commencing with the first
day of the month subsequent to the Closing Date (the "PNC Note"), iii)
$2,550,000 in cash to MetLife Capital Corporation and iv) a note in the
principal amount of

                                       10

<PAGE>

$300,000 to OMI payable in six (6) equal monthly installments of principal and
interest commencing on August 5, 1995 (the "OMI Note"). The PNC Note bears
interest at a floating rate equal to the lesser of i) PNC's stated prime
interest rate plus 0.5% or ii) the prime rate as reported by the Wall Street
Journal plus 0.5%. The OMI Note bears interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum. In
addition, the Company incurred approximately $585,000 in professional fees and
other costs associated with the acquisition. Total cash consideration paid in
the acquisition was obtained from the Company's working capital.

     The acquisition of OMI has been accounted for under the purchase method.
The operating results of OMI Acquisition Corp., the acquiring corporation, have
been included in reported operating results since the date of acquisition. The
cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair
market value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The excess of
the fair market value of net assets over total cost of the acquisition has been
recorded as a reduction of long term assets, principally as a reduction to
property, plant and equipment, at cost.

Private Offering of Convertible Debentures

     On September 29, 1995 (the "Debenture Closing Date"), the Company completed
a private placement of $20,000,000 in principal amount of Debentures. Net
proceeds from the private placement were approximately $19,000,000. On November
3, 1995, the Company completed the placement of an additional $5,000,000 in
principal amount of Debentures, as provided for under the over-allotment option
provisions of the Purchase Agreement between the Company and Forum Capital
Markets L.P ("Forum"). dated September 22, 1995. Net proceeds from this
secondary placement were approximately $4,750,000. Pursuant to the related
Registration Rights Agreement dated September 22, 1995 between the Company and
Forum, acting on behalf of holders of the Debentures (the "Agreement"), the
Company has agreed to file, within ninety (90) days after the Debenture Closing
Date, a shelf registration statement relating to the Debentures and the shares
of Class A Common Stock which are issuable from time to time upon conversion of
the Debentures, and to cause the registration statement to become effective
within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Debenture Closing Date. In
addition, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the
registration statement effective until at least the third anniversary of the
issuance of the Debentures. The Company expects to complete this registration
within the timeframe specified in the Agreement. In connection with these
transactions, the Company expects to incur approximately $500,000 of
professional fees and other costs. These costs, together with Forum's
commissions, will be amortized ratably through the maturity date of the
Debentures.

     Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October
1, commencing April 1, 1996. The Debentures are convertible at any time prior to
maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value, at a conversion price of $8.85
per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Debentures
become due and payable in full on October 1, 2003; there are no sinking fund
payments required prior to maturity. The Company may redeem outstanding
Debentures, in whole or in part, on or after October 1, 1998, at redemption
prices ranging from 100% to 105% of par value, plus accrued interest.

     The related Indenture Agreement between the Company and The Trust Company
of New Jersey dated September 29, 1995 (the "Indenture") contains certain
restrictions, covenants and agreements with respect to the operations and
financial reporting requirements of the Company, including, but not limited to,
the maintenance of consolidated net worth, limitations on the amount and types
of indebtedness incurred by Company, limitations on liens upon the assets of the
Company, limitations on investments, dividends and other distributions,
limitations on transactions with related persons and limitations on the sale or
transfer of corporate assets. As of September 30, 1995, the Company was in
compliance with these covenants. Under the terms of the Indenture, the
Debentures are subject to partial mandatory redemption should consolidated net
worth (as defined

                                       11

in the Indenture) fall below $18,000,000 for any two (2) consecutive fiscal
quarters. The Debentures are also subject to mandatory redemption upon a change
in control (as defined in the Indenture).

Letter of Credit

     The Company's industrial revenue bonds, due 1998, are supported by an
irrevocable, direct-pay letter of credit in an amount equal to the principal
balance plus interest thereon for 45 days. At September 30, 1995, the contingent
liability of the Company as guarantor under the letter of credit was
approximately $1,930,000. The Company has collateralized the letter of credit
with accounts receivable and also has agreed to certain financial covenants,
including the maintenance of: (i) a certain minimum ratio of consolidated
tangible net worth to total debt (the "Debt Ratio"), (ii) a certain minimum
quarterly ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to interest (the "Interest
Ratio"), and (iii) a certain minimum balance of billed and unbilled accounts
receivable ("Eligible Receivables"), all as defined in the related agreements.
At September 30, 1995, the covenants required (i) a Debt Ratio of 0.6:1, (ii) an
Interest Ratio of 1.5:1, and (iii) Eligible Receivables of $2,500,000. As a
result of the issuance of the Debentures as described in Note 4 above, the Debt
Ratio at September 30, 1995 was 0.4:1. The Company has obtained a waiver,
renewable annually, from the bank of the required debt ratio and is in
compliance with all other covenants under the letter of credit.
