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 (hereinafter, "DRS" or 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
December 31, 1997, the results of operations for the three- and nine-month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the nine-month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain items in the
December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997 condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the
fiscal 1998 presentation. The results of operations for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
2) Inventories are summarized as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
DECEMBER 31, MARCH 31,
1997 1997
------------------- -----------------
<S> <C> <C>
Work-in-process $55,329,000 $38,740,000
Raw material, unallocated stock and finished goods 6,547,000 3,874,000
------------------- -----------------
61,876,000 42,614,000
Less progress payments (29,838,000) ( 17,445,000)
=================== =================
Total $32,038,000 $25,169,000
=================== =================
</TABLE>
General and administrative costs included in work-in-process were
approximately $10.9 million and $9.4 million at December 31, 1997 and March
31, 1997, respectively. General and administrative expenses included in
costs and expenses amounted to approximately $7.4 million and $6.9 million,
respectively, for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and approximately $22.8 million and $20.0 million, respectively, for the
nine-month periods then ended.
3) The Company's industrial revenue bonds due January 1, 1998 (the "Bonds")
were supported by an irrevocable, direct-pay letter of credit. The Company
had collateralized the letter of credit with accounts receivable and had
also agreed to certain financial covenants. As a result of the issuance of
the Company's $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Debentures (the "9% Debentures") in fiscal 1996,
the ratio of consolidated tangible net worth to total debt (the "Debt
Ratio"), as defined under the related letter of credit agreement, was below
the required minimum ratio at March 31, 1997. The Company obtained a waiver
of the required Debt Ratio, expiring on the maturity date of the Bonds,
from the issuing bank and is in compliance with all covenants under the
letter of credit. The Bonds were redeemed at maturity in January 1998, and
are no longer outstanding.
4) On May 13, 1997, DRS Ahead Technology, Inc., a second-tier subsidiary of
the Company ("Ahead"), acquired approximately 80 percent of the outstanding
equity of Magnetic Heads Company, Ltd. ("MHC") for approximately $0.3
million in cash. Located in Razlog, Bulgaria, MHC is a manufacturer and
supplier of magnetic recording heads used primarily for commercial
applications. In connection with this acquisition, Ahead has agreed to make
additional investments in MHC totaling approximately $2.3 million over a
five-year period. For purposes of this agreement, investments include
transfer of technology and related intangible assets, transfer of inventory
and other productive assets, employee training and other similar transfers
and expenditures. The acquisition of the equity of MHC has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of
operations of MHC have been included in the Company's reported operating
results as of the effective date of the acquisition. The financial position
and results of operations of MHC were not significant to those of the
Company as of the effective date of acquisition.

<PAGE>
5) On September 12, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of the net assets
of DRS Medical Systems to United States Surgical Corporation for
approximately $1.9 million in cash. DRS Medical Systems was formed February
6, 1996, when a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRS entered into a partnership
with Universal Sonics Corporation, a privately-held company. The sale
resulted in a gain of approximately $149,000 and the reversal of accrued
obligations of $324,000. DRS Medical Systems accounted for approximately 2
percent of DRS's fiscal 1997 revenues.
6) During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company completed the move of
certain of its military display workstation product lines from the
Company's facility in Oakland, New Jersey to its operation in Gaithersburg,
Maryland. The Company completed the relocation of its multi-platform
boresighting equipment product lines, formerly located in Hauppauge, New
York, to Oakland, New Jersey, in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. In
connection with this relocation, the Company also plans to sell the land
and building owned in Hauppauge, New York. The Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $634,000 in the nine-month period ended December
31, 1997 in connection with these relocations. This restructuring charge
does not include costs associated with the relocation of employees,
equipment and inventory, nor does it include retraining costs for new
personnel and the cost of leasehold improvements for the Oakland, New
Jersey production facility. These costs will be charged to operations or
capitalized, as appropriate, when incurred.
The following table reconciles the restructuring charge to the related
reserve account balance as of December 31, 1997:
Total
-----------------
Fiscal 1998 Restructuring Charge $634,000
Cash outflows for severance payments (519,000)
Cash outflows for idle plant costs* (46,000)
-----------------
Balance at December 31, 1997 $69,000
=================
* Remaining cash outflows for idle plant costs will occur in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1998.
The Company believes that the overall reduction in its infrastructure
resulting from this reorganization plan will have a positive effect on the
Company's operating results for the fiscal year.
7) On October 29, 1997 (the "Closing Date"), DRS acquired, through certain of
its subsidiaries, the assets of the Applied Systems Division of Spar
Aerospace Limited ("Spar"), a Canadian corporation, and 100% of the stock
of Spar Aerospace (UK) Limited, incorporated under the laws of England and
Wales (the "Acquisition"), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of September 19, 1997, between DRS and Spar. The
Company paid approximately $35.4 million in cash for the Acquisition(which
includes $6.9 million for cash acquired in connection with the
transaction), subject to certain working capital adjustments as provided
for in the Agreement.
Headquartered in Kanata, Ontario, Canada, and now operating under the name
DRS Flight Safety and Communications, Spar Applied Systems Division has
been an international provider of aviation and defense systems for over 30
years. It designs, manufactures and markets sophisticated flight safety
systems, naval communications systems and other advanced electronics for
government and commercial customers around the world. It also provides
custom manufacturing services for complex electronic assemblies and
systems.
The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the
7
<PAGE>
results of operations of DRS Flight Safety and Communications were included
in the Company's reported operating results subsequent to the Closing Date.
DRS has incurred professional fees and other costs related to the
Acquisition of approximately $1.5 million. The excess of cost over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired was approximately $20 million
and is being amortized on a straight line basis over thirty years. Purchase
price allocation has not yet been finalized, and actual purchase price
allocation may differ from that used for purposes of these Interim
Financial Statements.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information shows the results
of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, as
though the Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each period
presented. In addition to combining the historical results of operations of
the two companies, the pro forma calculations include: the amortization of
the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired;
the reversal of revenue in connection with a certain contract which will
not be included in reported results of operations subsequent to the Closing
Date; interest expense on the debt associated with the Acquisition; and the
adjustment to income taxes to reflect the effective income tax rate assumed
for the companies on a combined basis for each pro forma period presented.
For purposes of this pro forma financial information, adjustments to
conform the revenue recognition method, and the treatment of general and
administrative expenses between DRS and the acquired companies, prior to
the Closing Date, have not been made as it was not practicable to conform
the revenue recognition method and management believes that the effect of
any adjustment to conform the treatment of general and administrative
expenses would be immaterial.

</TABLE>
The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative either of
the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition been
made at the beginning of the period, or of the future results of operations
of the combined companies.
8) In connection with the Acquisition, on October 29, 1997, the Company
entered into a $60 million secured credit facility (the "Secured Credit
Facility") with Mellon Bank, N.A., consisting of a $20 million term loan
(the "Term Loan") and a $40 million revolving line of credit (the "Secured
Line of Credit"). The Secured Credit Facility expires on March 31, 2003 and
replaced the Company's existing $15 million unsecured revolving line of
credit and $5 million secured equipment line of credit/term loan facility.
The Term Loan was used to finance a portion of the Acquisition. The Secured
Line of Credit was used to finance the remaining balance due in connection
with the Acquisition and to repay outstanding borrowings on the $15 million
unsecured revolving line of credit and the $5 million secured equipment
line of credit/term loan facility. The Secured Line of Credit 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.
9) In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("SFAS 128"). This statement simplified the current standards for computing
earnings per share ("EPS"), as specified in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share" ("APB 15"). Under SFAS 128, the
8
<PAGE>
presentation of primary EPS was replaced by the presentation of
basic EPS and the presentation of fully diluted EPS was replaced
by diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the periods. The computation of diluted EPS includes the effect
of shares from the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and
the assumed conversion of the Company's 9% senior subordinated
convertible debentures and the 8 1/2% convertible subordinated
debentures. The Company adopted this standard in the quarter
ended December 31, 1997 and, accordingly, has restated its
earnings per share calculation for all prior periods.
10) Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the
approximate prevailing rate at the time of the transaction. The operations
of the Company's Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries are translated from the
local (functional) currencies into U.S. dollars in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation". The rates of exchange at each balance sheet date are used for
translating the balance sheets and an average rate of exchange is used for
translating the statement of earnings. Gains or losses resulting from these
translation adjustments are included in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The
functional currency of the Company's Bulgarian subsidiary is considered to
be the U.S. dollar.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the
consolidated financial condition and results of operations of DRS Technologies,
Inc. and subsidiaries (hereinafter, "DRS" or the "Company") as of December 31,
1997 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated
financial statements, related notes and other financial information included in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
The following discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements in this report are made pursuant to the
safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Persons reading this report are cautioned that such forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to
differ from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements include, without limitation: the effect of the Company's acquisition
strategy on future operating results; the uncertainty of acceptance of new
products and successful bidding for new contracts; the effect of technological
changes or obsolescence relating to the Company's products and services; the
effects of government regulation or shifts in government policy as they may
relate to the Company's products and services; competition and other matters
referred to in this report.
ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND RELATED ACTIVITIES
On May 13, 1997, DRS Ahead Technology, Inc., a second-tier subsidiary
of the Company ("Ahead"), acquired approximately 80 percent of the outstanding
equity of Magnetic Heads Company, Ltd. ("MHC") for approximately $0.3 million in
cash. Located in Razlog, Bulgaria, MHC is a manufacturer and supplier of
magnetic recording heads used primarily for commercial applications. In
connection with this acquisition, Ahead has agreed to make additional
investments in MHC totaling approximately $2.3 million over a five-year period.
For purposes of this agreement, investments include transfer of technology and
related intangible assets, transfer of inventory and other productive assets,
employee training and other similar transfers and expenditures. The acquisition
of the equity of MHC has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of MHC have been included in
the Company's reported operating results as of the effective date of the
acquisition. The financial position and results of operations of MHC were not
significant to those of the Company as of the effective date of acquisition.
On September 12, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of the net
assets of DRS Medical Systems to United States Surgical Corporation for
approximately $1.9 million in cash. DRS Medical Systems was formed February 6,
1996, when a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRS entered into a partnership with
Universal Sonics Corporation, a privately-held company. The sale resulted in a
gain of approximately $149,000 and the reversal of accrued obligations of
$324,000. DRS Medical Systems accounted for approximately 2 percent of DRS'
fiscal 1997 revenues.
On October 29, 1997 (the "Closing Date"), DRS acquired, through certain
of its subsidiaries, the assets of the Applied Systems Division of Spar
Aerospace Limited ("Spar"), a Canadian corporation, and 100% of the stock of
Spar Aerospace (UK) Limited, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales
(the "Acquisition"), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as
of September 19, 1997, between DRS and Spar. The Company paid approximately
$35.4 million in cash for the Acquisition (which includes $6.9 million for cash
acquired in connection with the transaction), subject to certain working capital
adjustments as provided for in the Agreement.

Headquartered in Kanata, Ontario, Canada, and now operating under the
name DRS Flight Safety and Communications, Spar Applied Systems Division has
been an international provider of aviation and defense systems for over 30
years. It designs, manufactures and markets sophisticated flight safety systems,
naval communications systems and other advanced electronics for government and
commercial customers around the world. It also provides custom manufacturing
services for complex electronic assemblies and systems.
The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of DRS Flight Safety and

subsequent to the Closing Date. DRS has incurred professional fees and other
costs related to the Acquisition of approximately $1.5 million. The excess of

million and is being amortized on a straight line basis over thirty years.
Purchase price allocation has not yet been finalized, and actual purchase price
allocation may differ from that used for purposes of these Interim Financial
Statements.
REORGANIZATION PLAN
During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company completed the
move of certain of its military display workstation product lines from the
Company's facility in Oakland, New Jersey to its operation in Gaithersburg,
Maryland. The Company completed the relocation of its multi-platform
boresighting equipment product lines, formerly located in Hauppauge, New York,
to Oakland, New Jersey in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. In connection with
this relocation, the Company also plans to sell the land and building owned in
Hauppauge, New York. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $634,000 in
the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997 in connection with these
relocations. This restructuring charge does not include costs associated with
the relocation of employees, equipment and inventory, nor does it include
retraining costs for new personnel and the cost of leasehold improvements for
the Oakland, New Jersey production facility. These costs will be charged to
operations or capitalized, as appropriate, when incurred.
The following table reconciles the restructuring charge to the related reserve
account balance as of December 31, 1997:
Total
-----------------
Fiscal 1998 Restructuring Charge $634,000
Cash outflows for severance payments (519,000)
Cash outflows for idle plant costs* (46,000)
-----------------
Balance at September 30, 1997 $ 69,000
=================
* Remaining cash outflows for idle plant costs are expected to occur in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
The Company believes that the overall reduction in its infrastructure
resulting from this reorganization plan will have a positive effect on the
Company's operating results for the fiscal year.

Revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997 increased
30.1% to $49.9 million from $38.4 million for the same three-month period in
fiscal 1997. Revenues were $127.7 million and $99.2 million for the nine-month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The revenue growth
during the third quarter was attributable primarily to shipments associated with
the Company's data recording product lines and to revenues from the recent
acquisition of Flight Safety and Communications. Higher revenues for the
nine-month period were due primarily to shipments relating to the company's
military display workstation, data recording and electro-optical systems product
lines, as well as to increases in commercial product sales. Revenues from Flight
Safety and Communications also contributed to the increase for the nine months.
Operating income for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997
increased 14.2% to $3.7 million from $3.3 million for the same three-month
period in fiscal 1997. Operating income was $9.9 million and $8.8 million for
the nine-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Operating
income as a percentage of revenues was 7.4% and 7.8% for the three- and
nine-month periods ended December 31, 1997, respectively, as compared with 8.5%
and 8.8% in the comparable prior-year periods. The increase in operating income
was due to the overall increase in revenues. The decrease in operating income as
a percentage of revenue for the fiscal 1998 third quarter and nine-month period
was primarily attributable to revenue mix. Additionally, the Company began to
experience margin pressure during the
12
<PAGE>
third quarter from its commercial magnetic head business, resulting from
business consolidation in the disk drive industry and a reduction in orders
toward the end of the quarter as customers reacted to over supply in the market.
The situation has continued to effect the Company's magnetic head business
during the fourth quarter. While a reduction in commercial revenues is expected
to have an impact on margins during the fourth quarter, the Company cannot
quantify, at this time, the extent or duration of such impact.
Interest and related expenses were approximately $1.3 million and $.9
million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and $3.1 million and $2.6 million for the nine-month periods ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in both the three and
nine months ended December 31, 1997 was attributable primarily to the increase
in debt associated with the acquisition of Flight Safety and Communications.
Interest and other income, net was $0.3 million and $0.1 million,
respectively, for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
$1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the nine-month periods then
ended. The increase for the three-month period was primarily due to additional
interest income earned on invested cash. The increase for the nine-month period
was primarily due to the gain on the sale of the net assets of DRS Medical
Systems.
Minority interest increased to $0.2 million and $0.9 million,
respectively for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1997 from
$.1 million and $0.2 million in the comparable prior-year periods. 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.
The Company's effective tax rates for both the three- and nine-month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were 37% and 39%, respectively. The
Company records income tax expense based on an estimated effective income tax
rate for the full fiscal year. The lower effective income tax rate for the
fiscal periods ended December 31, 1997 reflects the anticipated benefit of
certain transactions to be completed by the Company this fiscal year in
connection with the reorganization plan (see "Reorganization Plan"). 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 December 31, 1997 and
March 31, 1997 represented approximately 11% and 10%, respectively, of total
assets. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, cash increased by
approximately $7.6 million. This increase resulted primarily from the addition
of cash acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of Flight Safety and
Communications. Uses of cash for the period of approximately $4.7 million and
$29.1 million for capital expenditures and acquisitions and related expenses,
respectively, were offset by $1.9 million provided from the divestiture of DRS
Medical Systems and $35.4 million in acquisition-related borrowings. In
addition, approximately $1.1 million was used in support of operations and $6.1
million was borrowed against the Company's line of credit for short-term working
capital requirements and to satisfy the outstanding principal balance of
approximately $1.6 million on the variable rate industrial revenue bonds due
January 1, 1998. The Company expects to repay the short-term borrowings with
positive cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 and with
the proceeds from the expected sale of the Company's Hauppauge, New York
facility.
Capital expenditures, excluding assets acquired as a result of business
combinations, are expected to approximate $5.5 million for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1998. The majority of these expenditures will be for computer
and production-related equipment, as well as leasehold improvements.
13
<PAGE>
Working capital as of December 31, 1997 was $38.0 million, as compared
to $32.8 million at March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to the
Acquisition.
In connection with the Acquisition, on October 29, 1997, the Company
entered into a $60 million secured credit facility (the "Secured Credit
Facility") with Mellon Bank, N.A., consisting of a $20 million term loan (the
"Term Loan") and a $40 million revolving line of credit (the "Secured Line of
Credit"). The Secured Credit Facility expires on March 31, 2003 and replaced the
Company's $15 million unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the
"Unsecured Facility") and a $5 million secured equipment line of credit/term
loan agreement (the "Equipment Facility"). The Term Loan was used to finance a
portion of the Acquisition. The Secured Line of Credit was used to finance the
remaining balance due in connection with the Acquisition and to repay
outstanding borrowings on the Unsecured Facility and the Equipment Facility. The
Secured Line of Credit 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 December 31, 1997, approximately
$31.2 million was outstanding against the Secured Credit Facility, of which $6.4
million was contingently payable under letters of credit, as compared with
amounts outstanding under the Unsecured Facility at March 31, 1997 of $5.3
million and $2.3 million, respectively.
The Company believes that its current working capital position and
available bank financing are sufficient to support its current operational
needs, as well as its near-term business objectives.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND INVENTORIES: Accounts receivable increased by
approximately $12.8 million in the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997,
primarily due to the Acquisition and to balances due from program revenues
recorded in December 1997. Generally, there are no contract provisions for
retainage, and accounts receivable are expected to be collected within one year.
Inventories increased by approximately $6.9 million from March 31,
1997, due primarily to the Acquisition and to increased material procurement
associated with production activity.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKLOG: Backlog at December 31, 1997 was approximately $170.3 million,
as compared with $118.4 million at March 31, 1997. The increase in backlog was
due to the addition of approximately $23 million from the Acquisition and to the
increase in bookings, partially offset by revenues. New contract awards of
approximately $39.7 million and $159.7 million were received in the three- and
nine-month periods ended December 31, 1997, respectively. Year to date awards
include amounts totaling approximately $69 million for the manufacture of
AN/UYQ-70 Advanced Display System tactical workstations for the U.S. Navy.

LETTER OF CREDIT
The Company's industrial revenue bonds due January 1, 1998 (the
"Bonds") are supported by an irrevocable, direct-pay letter of credit. The
Company has collateralized the letter of credit with accounts receivable and
also has agreed to certain financial covenants. As a result of the issuance of
the Company's $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Subordinated
Convertible Debentures (the "9% Debentures") in fiscal 1996, the ratio of
consolidated tangible net worth to total debt (the "Debt Ratio"), as defined
under the related letter of credit agreement, was below the required minimum
ratio at March 31, 1997. The Company has obtained a waiver, expiring on the
maturity date of the Bonds, of the required Debt Ratio from the issuing bank and
is in compliance with all covenants under the letter of credit. The Bonds were
redeemed at maturity in January 1998, and are no longer outstanding.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
128"). This statement simplified the current standards for computing earnings
per share ("EPS"), as specified in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15,
"Earnings Per Share" ("APB 15"). Under SFAS 128, the presentation of primary EPS
was replaced by the presentation of basic EPS and the presentation of fully
diluted EPS was replaced by diluted EPS. The Company has adopted this
standard in the quarter ending December 31, 1997 and, accordingly, has restated
its earnings per share calculation for all prior periods.
