                     DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1)   In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements of DRS Technologies, Inc. and
     Subsidiaries (the Company) contain all adjustments (consisting of only
     normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of
     the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 1998, and the
     results of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows for the
     three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. All significant
     intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain items
     in the June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998 condensed consolidated financial
     statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the
     fiscal 1999 presentation. The results of operations for the three months
     ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year.

2)   In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
     (SFAS 130). SFAS 130 establishes new standards for reporting and display of
     comprehensive income in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
     Comprehensive income is composed of net earnings and other nonowner changes
     in equity of a business enterprise during a reporting period. The Company
     adopted SFAS 130 this fiscal year and now includes a Statement of
     Comprehensive Earnings as part of its primary financial statements.

3)   Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                                June 30, 1998    March 31, 1998
                                                -------------    --------------
       Work-in-process ........................  $61,687,000      $63,000,000
       Raw material and finished goods ........    5,664,000        5,813,000
                                                 -----------      -----------
                                                  67,351,000       66,813,000
       Less progress payments .................  (27,344,000)     (30,176,000)
                                                 -----------      -----------
       Total ..................................  $40,007,000      $38,637,000
                                                 ===========      ===========

     General and administrative costs included in work-in-process were
     approximately $11.7 million and $9.9 million at June 30, 1998 and March 31,
     1998, respectively. General and administrative expenses included in costs
     and expenses amounted to approximately $8.5 million and $9.4 million for
     the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Included in
     those amounts are expenditures for internal research and development
     amounting to approximately $.8 million and $1.0 million for the fiscal
     quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

4)   In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, subpoenas were issued to the Company
     by the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York seeking
     documents related to certain equipment manufactured by DRS Photronics, Inc.
     (Photronics), a subsidiary of the Company. These subpoenas were issued in
     connection with United States v. Tress, a case involving a product
     substitution allegation against an employee of Photronics. On June 26,
     1998, the complaint against the employee was dismissed without prejudice.

5)   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
     "Earnings per Share", in fiscal 1998 beginning with the fiscal quarter
     ended December 31, 1997. Accordingly, prior period earnings per share
     amounts have been restated to conform to the provisions of the new
     standard. Its adoption did not have a material impact on reported earnings
     per share for current or restated prior periods.

     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
     weighted average of Common Stock outstanding during each period. The
     computation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of shares
     from the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and, for the three
     month period ended June 30, 1997, the effect of the assumed conversion of
     the Company's 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due October
     2003 (the 9% Debentures) and the Company's 8-1/2% Convertible Subordinated
     Debentures due August 1998 (the 8-1/2% Debentures). These debentures were
     antidilutive for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The following table
     provides the components of the per share computations:

     Revenues from ESG for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 increased
6.8% to $23.9 million from $22.4 million for the same three-month period in
fiscal 1998. The revenue growth was attributable primarily to increased
shipments of the group's military display workstations and coastal surveillance
systems. ESG's operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998
increased 12.2% to $1.8 million, compared with $1.6 million reported in the
prior year. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 7.3% and 7.0% for
the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase
in ESG's operating income and operating income percentage for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1998 resulted from the overall increase in revenues
coupled with operating efficiencies resulting from the consolidation in fiscal
1998 of certain of the group's military display product lines.

     Revenues from DSG for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 decreased
7.7% to $9.2 million from $10.0 million for the same three-month period in
fiscal 1998. The decrease in revenues was attributable primarily to lower
magnetic head product sales due to continued effects of the slowdown in the
computer disk drive industry. DSG's operating income for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1998 decreased 86% to $0.2 million, compared with $1.1 million
reported in the prior year. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was
1.7% and 11.5% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The decrease in DSG's operating income and operating income
percentage in the

                                       12
<PAGE>

three-month period ending June 30, 1998 were the result of reduced revenues and
lower margins in the Group's magnetic head business influenced, in part, by
start-up costs associated with the Group's Bulgarian manufacturing facility. The
Company expects this facility to increase production during the second quarter
of this fiscal year. Operating income for the quarter also decreased due to
additional development and production costs associated with the Group's new
military 8mm "triple-decker" recorders and costs for rework required on the
final units delivered under the AN/USH-42 Mission Recording System contract.

     Revenues from EOSG for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 increased
11.3% to $5.9 million from $5.3 million for the same three-month period in
fiscal 1998. The increase in revenues was attributable primarily to revenues
from the acquisition of Hadland Photonics Ltd. in March 1998. EOSG's operating
income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 decreased 175.1% to a loss
of $.2 million, compared with operating income of $.3 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1997. Operating income as a percentage of
revenues was -3.4% and 5.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The decrease in EOSG's operating income and operating income
percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 reflects the effect of the
inability of a subsidiary of the Company to ship certain boresighting systems
during the period. This was due to a government investigation, during the
period, into a product substitution allegation against an employee of the Group.
On June 26, 1998, the complaint against the employee was dismissed without
prejudice by the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
The Company currently is unable to ship certain equipment related to this case
and cannot predict when such shipments ultimately will be made, although these
delays are expected to impact fiscal 1999 second quarter results.

     Revenues from FS&C were $6.9 million for the three-month period ended June
30, 1998 and were attributable to shipments from the Group's flight safety and
communications products and from contract manufacturing services. FS&C's
operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 was $.5 million
and operating income as a percentage of revenues was 7.3%. FS&C was acquired in
the second half of fiscal 1998.

     Interest and related expenses were $1.6 million and $.9 million for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase was
attributable primarily to the increase in debt associated with the acquisition
of FS&C.

     Interest and other income, net was $.2 million for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Minority interest increased to $.2
million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 from $.1 million in the
comparable prior year period. The increase was due to the growth of the DRS
Laurel Technologies partnership (Laurel), in which the Company has an 80%
interest. Laurel manufactures many of the Company's military display
workstations, including the AN/UYQ-70 Advanced Display System.

     The Company's effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 was 37%. The Company records income tax expense based on an
estimated effective income tax rate for the full fiscal year. The provision for
income taxes includes all estimated income taxes payable to federal, state and
foreign governments, as applicable.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

     Cash and Cash Flow: Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998 and March
31, 1998 represented approximately 5% and 6%, respectively, of total assets.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, cash decreased by
approximately $1.9 million. This decrease resulted from the uses of
approximately $1.0 million for capital expenditures and $.5 million for long
term debt repayments. In addition, approximately $3.4 million was used in
support of operations. Working capital as of June 30, 1998 was $42.0 million, as
compared to $42.1 million at March 31, 1998. Net short-term borrowings increased
by $3.4 million during the period.

                                       13
<PAGE>

     Capital expenditures, excluding assets acquired as a result of business
combinations, are expected to approximate $7.9 million for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1999. The majority of these expenditures will be for computer
and production-related equipment.

     In connection with the acquisition of DRS Flight Safety and Communications,
on October 29, 1997, the Company entered into a $60 million secured credit
facility (the Secured Credit Facility) with Mellon Bank, N.A. (Mellon Bank),
consisting of a $20 million term loan and a $40 million revolving line of
credit. The Secured Credit Facility expires on March 31, 2003, and is available
for working capital, general corporate purposes and acquisitions. The Secured
Credit Facility contains certain covenants and restrictions, including a
restriction on the payment of dividends on the capital stock of the Company, a
limitation on the issuance of additional debt and certain other restrictions. As
of June 30, 1998, approximately $50.8 million was outstanding against the
Secured Credit Facility, of which $5.5 million was contingently payable under
letters of credit, as compared with amounts outstanding under the Secured Credit
Facility at March 31, 1998 of $48.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

     The Company is in the process of obtaining a new credit facility from
Mellon Bank and is assessing certain financing alternatives to support its
near-term business objectives, particularly with respect to pending
acquisitions.

     Accounts Receivable and Inventories: Accounts receivable decreased by
approximately $9.3 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 1998,
primarily due to the collection of certain progress billings from the prior
year. Included in accounts receivable at June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998 are
$.8 million arising from retainage provisions in certain contracts with the
Canadian government, which may not be collected within one year.

     Inventories increased by approximately $1.4 million from March 31, 1998,
due primarily to the delayed shipment of the Company's boresighting equipment.

     Backlog: Backlog at June 30, 1998 was approximately $182.1 million as
compared to $177.4 million at March 31, 1998. The increase in backlog was due to
the net effect of bookings, partially offset by revenues. New contract awards of
approximately $52.8 million were booked in the three-month period ended June 30,
1998.

Accounting Standards

     In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS
130). SFAS 130 establishes new standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The
Company adopted SFAS 130 this fiscal year and now includes a Statement of
Comprehensive Earnings as part of its primary financial statements.

Year 2000

     The Company is conducting an assessment of its management information
systems with respect to the Year 2000 compliance issue. Many of the Company's
internal systems and products that have integrated software are already Year
2000 compliant. The Company plans to resolve any issues identified and ensure
Year 2000 compliance of its main business application systems by the end of
fiscal 1999. Year 2000 compliance issues at key suppliers also create risk for
the Company since their inability to operate effectively could impact our
business. The Company plans to contact its primary suppliers and other key third
parties to determine the possible impact on its business. The Company will
consider alternative providers for those third parties, which do not have plans
in place to become Year 2000 compliant. Based on the information currently
available from the work performed to date, management does not expect that the
amounts to be expensed for Year 2000 compliance activities in fiscal 1999 will
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or
financial position.
