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 or DRS) contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal and
recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive
earnings and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain items
in the December 31, 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 nine months
ended December 31, 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 displaying
comprehensive income in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
Comprehensive income is composed of net earnings and other nonowner changes
in the 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 (Losses) as part of its primary financial statements.
3) Inventories are summarized as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
General and administrative costs included in work-in-process were
approximately $13.3 million and $9.9 million at December 31, 1998 and March
31, 1998, respectively. General and administrative expenses included in
costs and expenses amounted to approximately $13.4 million and $7.4 million,
respectively, for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and approximately $30.8 million and $22.8 million, respectively, for the
nine-month periods then ended. Included in those amounts are expenditures
for internal research and development amounting to approximately $1.7
million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the fiscal quarters ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and approximately $3.1 million and $3.3 million,
respectively, for the nine-month periods then ended.
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. Its adoption did not have a material impact on reported
earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of shares 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-

and nine-month periods ended December 31, 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 three- and nine-month periods
ended December 31, 1998. The following table provides the components of
these per share computations:

6) The Company is organized into four principal operating segments on the basis
of products and services offered: the Electronic Systems Group (ESG), the
Data Systems Group (DSG), the Electro-Optical Systems Group (EOSG), and the
Flight Safety and Communications Group (FSCG). Each operating group is
comprised of separate and distinct businesses. Corporate operations include
the activities of the parent company, DRS Technologies, Inc., and several
non-operating subsidiaries of the Company. Included in Corporate operations
for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1997 are the
results of operations from DRS Medical Systems. During the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, DRS's military recording systems subsidiary, DRS
Precision Echo, Inc., was combined with DRS Flight Safety and
Communications, based on business and product synergies. As a result, the
information shown below has been restated to include DRS Precision Echo,
Inc. as part of FSCG for all periods presented. DSG now includes the
operations of DRS Ahead Technology only.

Technologies, Inc. (NAI). NAI, based in Huntington, New York, is a
diversified, international electronics company and provider of rugged
computers, peripheral equipment and integrated systems for military and
governmental applications. NAI reported revenues from continuing operations
of $47.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $34.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The transaction is to be
consummated via exchange of shares and accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. On February 11, 1999, the merger was approved at a

8) On October 20, 1998 the Company acquired, through certain of its
subsidiaries, certain assets of the Second Generation Ground Based Electro
Optics (Ground EO) and Focal Plane Array (FPA) businesses (together, the EOS
Business) of Raytheon Company and certain of its subsidiaries (Raytheon),
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 28, 1998, between
the Company and Raytheon, as amended. The Company paid approximately $45
million in cash for the acquisition at closing; the purchase price is
subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, as provided for in the
Asset Purchase Agreement, not to exceed $7 million. The amount of such
working capital adjustment is currently being determined. Management does
not expect that the final adjustment will have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The EOS
Business provides products used in the detection, identification and
acquisition of targets based on infrared data. Primary programs include the
U.S. Army's Horizontal Technology Integration Second Generation FLIR
(Forward-Looking Infra-Red) (HTI SGF), the Long-Range Advanced Scout
Surveillance System (LRAS3), the Improved Bradley Acquisition System (IBAS)
and the JAVELIN missile programs. Ground EO, renamed DRS Sensor Systems,
Inc., has 47 employees based in El Segundo, California; and FPA, renamed DRS
Infrared Technologies, LP, has 186 employees located in Dallas, Texas.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the results of operations of DRS Sensor Systems, Inc. and DRS
Infrared Technologies, LP 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 $2 million.
Based on the purchase price of $45 million, the excess of cost over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired was approximately $36 million
and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years. DRS is in
the process of completing its valuation of the net assets acquired. As a
result, 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 and accompanying pro forma financial
information. The valuation could result in a different portion of the
purchase price being allocated to tangible or other intangible assets. The
useful lives of such tangible or intangible assets are not expected to be
significantly different than twenty years. DRS is currently unable to
determine the potential effect of final purchase price allocation on its
financial position and results of operations.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information shows the results of
operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, 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
businesses, the pro forma results include: the amortization of the excess of
cost over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired, assuming a total
purchase price of $45 million; interest expense on the debt associated with
the acquisition; estimated costs associated with master service agreements
entered into with Raytheon concurrently with the acquisition; adjustments to
conform the revenue recognition method used on certain firm-fixed price
(units delivered) contracts to be consistent with DRS accounting policies;
and adjustments to income taxes to reflect the effects of these pro forma
adjustments.

9) In connection with the acquisition of the EOS Business, on October 20, 1998,
the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $150 million
secured credit facility (Facility) with Mellon Bank, N.A., consisting of two
term loans: the first in the principal amount of $30 million dollars (First
Term Loan), and the second in the principal amount of $50 million dollars
(Second Term Loan); and a revolving line of credit (Line of Credit) for $70
million, subject to a borrowing base calculation. The maturity dates of the
First Term Loan and the Second Term Loan are October 20, 2003 and October
20, 2005, respectively, with quarterly principal payments beginning on June
30, 1999. The Line of Credit matures on October 20, 2003. The Facility
amends, restates and replaces the Company's existing $60 million secured
credit facility consisting of a $20 million term loan and a $40 million
revolving line of credit. The Second Term Loan was used to finance a portion
of the acquisition of the EOS Business. The First Term Loan was used to
refinance the debt associated with the acquisition of DRS Flight Safety and
Communications in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 and the Line of Credit is
available for working capital, general corporate purposes and acquisitions.
The Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
Borrowings can be made in United States dollars at rates based on LIBOR
(London Interbank Offering Rate) or United States Prime or in Canadian
dollars at rates based on LIBOR, Canadian Prime or the Canadian Bankers
Acceptance Rate. The Facility contains certain covenants and restrictions,
including maintenance of a minimum level of consolidated net worth, 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, 1998, the Company was in compliance with
these covenants.
For accounting purposes, the modification of the Facility was accounted for
as an extinguishment of debt pursuant to the guidance of the Emerging Issues
Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (Issue No. 96-19).
Accordingly, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs relating to
the previous credit facility, plus fees paid in connection with the
modification, were recorded as an extraordinary charge in the amount of
$2,306,000, net of tax, during the period.
10) In October 1998, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
resolved to grant 706,000 stock options under the 1996 Omnibus Plan (the
Plan), at prices at or above fair market value, and authorized the taking of
all actions necessary or appropriate to implement such resolution. At the
grant date, 161,400 shares were reserved for future issuance under the Plan.
Based on remaining shares available, the Company issued 133,950 of the
706,000 stock options granted. In November 1998, the Board of Directors
adopted a resolution proposing an amendment to the Plan to increase the
number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan by
900,000 shares. At a special meeting of stockholders held on February 11,
1999, the stockholders approved the resolution and the Plan was amended.

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, the Company or DRS) as of December 31, 1998
and for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. 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, 1998.
The following discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking
statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 materially
from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these
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 and Related Activities
On August 26, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to
acquire NAI Technologies, Inc. (NAI). NAI, based in Huntington, New York, is a
diversified, international electronics company and provider of rugged computers,
peripheral equipment and integrated systems for military and governmental
applications. NAI reported revenues from continuing operations of $47.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $34.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The transaction is to be consummated via exchange of shares
and accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. On February 11, 1999,
the merger was approved at a special meeting of the stockholders held for this
purpose and other related matters. The closing is subject to the approval of NAI
shareholders, and the Company expects to complete this transaction in February
1999.
On October 20, 1998 the Company acquired, through certain of its
subsidiaries, certain assets of the Second Generation Ground Based Electro
Optics (Ground EO) and Focal Plane Array (FPA) businesses (together, the EOS
Business) of Raytheon Company and certain of its subsidiaries (Raytheon),
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 28, 1998, between the
Company and Raytheon, as amended. The Company paid approximately $45 million in
cash for the acquisition at closing; the purchase price is subject to a
post-closing working capital adjustment, as provided for in the Asset Purchase
Agreement, not to exceed $7 million. The amount of such working capital
adjustment is currently being determined. Management does not expect that the
final adjustment will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations. The EOS Business provides products
used in the detection, identification and acquisition of targets based on
infrared data. Primary programs include the U.S. Army's Horizontal Technology
Integration Second Generation FLIR (Forward-Looking Infra-Red) (HTI SGF), the
Long-Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3), the Improved Bradley
Acquisition System (IBAS) and the JAVELIN missile programs. Ground EO, renamed
DRS Sensor Systems, Inc., has 47 employees based in El Segundo, California; and
FPA, renamed DRS Infrared Technologies, LP, has 186 employees located in Dallas,
Texas.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of DRS Sensor Systems, Inc.
and DRS Infrared Technologies, LP 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 $2 million.
Based on the purchase price of $45 million, the excess of cost over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired was approximately $36 million and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years. DRS is in the
process of completing its valuation of the net assets acquired. As a result,
purchase price allocation has not yet been finalized, and actual purchase price

could result in modifications to the purchase price allocated to certain
tangible and intangible assets. The useful lives of such tangible or intangible
assets are not expected to be significantly different than twenty years. DRS is
currently unable to determine the potential effect of final purchase price
allocation on its financial position and results of operations.

ESG's revenue growth was attributable primarily to increased shipments
of the group's military display workstations and coastal surveillance systems.
The decrease in ESG's operating income for the nine-month period ended December
31, 1998 and operating income percentage for the three and nine-month periods
then ended resulted primarily from a shift in revenue mix in the current periods
to a higher percentage of revenues from the AN/UYQ-70 Advanced Display System
tactical workstation (Q-70) program with the U.S. Navy. Margins are generally
lower on the Q-70 program compared with certain other product lines, due to its
significant commercial-off-the-shelf component content. The increase in
operating income for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 was the
result of increased revenues as described above.
The decrease in revenues at DSG resulted from the continuing effects of
the sluggish global computer disk drive marketplace, competitive pricing
pressure on certain other magnetic tape head products and delays in orders
expected from major customers. The decrease in DSG's operating income and
operating income percentage in the three- and nine-month periods ending December
31, 1998 was the result of lower revenues, as discussed above, and start-up
costs associated with the Group's Bulgarian manufacturing facility. These
results also included charges incurred last fiscal quarter of approximately $0.5
million for costs relating to the closing of its Dassel, Minnesota facility and
reserves for certain receivables and inventory, necessitated by the bankruptcy
filing of a significant customer. In November 1998, DSG effected a 25% reduction
in force in its San Jose, California operation in response to the decrease in
sales volume. DSG intends to continue its cost reduction efforts.
The increase in revenues at EOSG was attributable to the acquisitions
of the EOS Business in this fiscal quarter, and the acquisition of DRS Hadland
Ltd. in March 1998. These increases were partially offset by the effect of the
Company's continued inability to ship boresighting systems. This situation
resulted from a complaint filed against an employee of DRS Photronics, Inc. and
a government investigation that ensued during the first quarter. Although the
complaint was dismissed without prejudice in June, the Company has not yet
received authorization to resume shipments of these products. The Company cannot
predict when such shipments will resume, however, these delays are expected to
continue to impact overall fiscal 1999

results. Operating results for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997
reflect the effect of a second quarter restructuring charge of $471,000,
associated with the relocation of the Group's boresight operations from
Hauppauge, New York to Oakland, New Jersey. The increase in operating income
generated for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1998 was
primarily due to the acquisitions mentioned above. Increases in operating income
were partially offset by the effect of the Group's inability to ship
boresighting systems.
FSCG's revenue growth was attributable to shipments of the Group's
flight safety and communications products and to revenues from contract
manufacturing services, generated by a business acquired in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998. In addition, revenues for the three- and nine-month periods ended
December 31,1998 included approximately $1.7 million relating to an equitable
adjustment claim settlement between the Company and the U.S. Navy. This
settlement represented a partial recovery of excess costs incurred on a
contract, completed in fiscal 1994, to develop and produce a mission data
recorder playback support system for use with the Company's AN/AQH-9 and
AN/AQH-11 data recorders. The excess costs incurred on this contract were
charged to earnings in prior periods, when related contract losses were
estimable. The increase in operating income and operating margin resulted from
the increase in revenues, as explained above, partially offset by decreases in
the Group's military data recording systems product line margins resulting from
lower revenues and a change in product mix. Based on a review by FSCG
management, operating income also included a charge this fiscal quarter of
approximately $1.0 million for reserves against inventory in excess of current
contract requirements at the Group's DRS Precision Echo, Inc. unit.
Interest and related expenses were approximately $3.0 million and $1.3
million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and $6.1 million and $3.1 million for the nine-month periods ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase was primarily
attributable to debt associated with the Company's fiscal 1998 and 1999
acquisitions.
Interest and other income, net was $0.3 million for the three-month
periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and $0.6 million and $1.0 million,
respectively, for the nine-month periods then ended. Included in interest and
other income, net was approximately $0.3 million from the sale, in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998, of the net assets of DRS Medical Systems.
Minority interest was $0.2 million for the three-month periods ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively for
the nine-month periods then ended. The decrease for the nine-month period is
associated with the sale in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 of DRS Medical
Systems in which the Company had a 90% interest.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods
ended December 31, 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.
In connection with the modification of the Company's credit facility,
DRS recorded an extraordinary charge of approximately $2.3 million, net of tax,
in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1998 (see "Financial Condition and
Liquidity" below).
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash and Cash Flow: Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 and
March 31, 1998 represented approximately 9% and 6%, respectively, of total
assets. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, cash increased by
approximately $11.8 million. The Company generated operating cash flow of $12.7
million, which included $14.9 million in advance payments relating to the Q-70
program. Beginning in March 1999, these advance payments will be liquidated
against related progress billings through August 1999. Net cash flow from
operations also included approximately $6.3 million and
15
<PAGE>
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
$3.2 million for interest and income tax payments, respectively. Net cash
provided by financing activities for the period to date was $49.2 million,
including net proceeds from acquisition related borrowings of $42.1 million.
Approximately $6.2 million was used for repayments of long-term debt, which
included approximately $5.0 million for the retirement of the Company's 8-1/2%
convertible subordinated debentures. Additional borrowings under the Company's
credit facility were $13.1 million for the nine-month period. Cash used in
investing activities totaled $49.8 million, which included $45.8 million for
acquisitions and $4.1 million for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures,
excluding acquired businesses, are expected to approximate $6.0 million for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1999. The majority of these expenditures will be
for computer and production-related equipment.
During the period ended December 31, 1998, total assets increased by
$86.4 million or 52.8%, as compared with March 31, 1998, primarily due to the
acquisition of the EOS Business. In this transaction, the Company acquired
approximately $65.9 million in total assets, including $4.4 million in net
accounts receivable, $12.3 million in net inventory, and $13.3 million in fixed
assets. In accounting for this acquisition, the Company provided $17.2 million
for future losses on existing Focal Plane Array contracts. Based on the purchase
price of $45.0 million, the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired
was approximately $36 million (including an estimate of $2 million for closing
costs), which is included in Goodwill & Related Intangibles as of December 31,
1998.
In connection with the acquisition of the EOS Business, on October 20,
1998, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $150 million
secured credit facility (Facility) with Mellon Bank, N.A., consisting of two
term loans: the first in the principal amount of $30 million dollars (First Term
Loan), and the second in the principal amount of $50 million dollars (Second
Term Loan); and a revolving line of credit (Line of Credit) for $70 million,
subject to a borrowing base calculation. The maturity dates of the First Term
Loan and the Second Term Loan are October 20, 2003 and October 20, 2005,
respectively, with quarterly principal payments beginning on June 30, 1999. The
Line of Credit matures on October 20, 2003. The Facility amends, restates and
replaces the Company's existing $60 million secured credit facility consisting
of a $20 million term loan and a $40 million revolving line of credit. The
Second Term Loan was used to finance a portion of the acquisition of the EOS
Business. The First Term Loan was used to refinance the debt associated with the
acquisition of DRS Flight Safety and Communications in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 and the Line of Credit is available for working capital, general
corporate purposes and acquisitions. The Facility is secured by substantially
all of the assets of the Company. Borrowings can be made in United States
dollars at rates based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offering Rate) or United
States Prime or in Canadian dollars at rates based on LIBOR, Canadian Prime or
the Canadian Bankers Acceptance Rate. The Facility contains certain covenants
and restrictions, including maintenance of a minimum level of consolidated net
worth, 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, 1998, the Company was in compliance with these
covenants.
For accounting purposes, the modification of the Facility was accounted
for as an extinguishment of debt pursuant to the guidance of the Emerging Issues
Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (Issue No. 96-19).
Accordingly, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs relating to the
previous credit facility, plus fees paid in connection with the modification,
were recorded as an extraordinary charge in the amount of $2,306,000, net of
tax, during the period.
With the new Facility described above, the Company believes that its
present 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, net,
excluding amounts from acquired businesses, increased by approximately $2.8
million in the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, primarily due to
increased revenues. Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 1998 and
March 31, 1998 are $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, arising from
retainage provisions in certain contracts with the Canadian government, which
may not be collected within one year.
16
<PAGE>
DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Inventories, excluding amounts from acquired businesses, increased by
approximately $13.9 million from March 31, 1998, due primarily to increases in
production activities, particularly with respect to the EOS Business.

Backlog: Backlog at December 31, 1998 was approximately $364.7 million,
as compared with $177.4 million at March 31, 1998. The increase in backlog was
due to the net effect of bookings and the addition of approximately $109.4
million of backlog acquired with the EOS Business during the third quarter,
partially offset by revenues and the effect of exchange rates during the period.
New contract awards of approximately $120.9 million and $249.7 million were
booked in the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1998.
Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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 (Losses) as part of its primary financial statements.

issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities." This accounting standard, which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998, provides authoritative guidance on accounting
and financial reporting related to costs of start-up activities. This SOP
requires that, at the effective date of adoption, costs of start-up activities
previously capitalized be expensed and reported as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, and further requires that such costs subsequent
to adoption be expensed as incurred. The Company does not anticipate the effect
of adopting this standard to be material to the Company's consolidated results
of operations.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 provides authoritative guidance on accounting
and financial reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. The Statement requires the recognition
of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheet, and the periodic measurement of those instruments at fair value. The
classification of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of
derivatives is dependent on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting
designation. Upon adoption of this standard, existing hedging relationships, if
any, must be designated anew and documented pursuant to the provisions of the
Statement. Based on the Company's fiscal calendar and the requirements of SFAS
133, this standard must be adopted no later than April 1, 2000. Adoption of SFAS
133 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

Year 2000
DRS has begun the process of organizing its Year 2000 Project in order
to evaluate the issue of computer software databases and embedded computer chips
that are not able to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000. DRS'
Year 2000 Project is divided into three major sections: (1) IT Systems (which
examines operating systems and business application software); (2) External
Agents (which examines third-party suppliers and customers); and (3) Product
Issues (which examines Year 2000 issues inherent in products sold by DRS).
The IT Systems section evaluates hardware and systems software. DRS has
substantially completed its evaluation of its main internal operating systems
and business application software. As a result of this evaluation, DRS has begun
the process of implementing the necessary changes in its internal systems to
achieve Year 2000 compliance in this area. Based on the current schedule, the
Company's IT Systems are expected to be Year 2000 compliant by October 1999.
The External Agents section includes the process of identifying and
prioritizing critical suppliers and customers at the direct interface level, and
communicating with them about their plans and progress in addressing the Year
2000 problem. Year 2000 compliance issues at critical suppliers creates risk for
DRS since their inability to operate effectively could impact our business.
Possible problems for DRS could include isolated performance problems with
manufacturing or administrative systems, isolated interruption of deliveries
from critical suppliers and product liability issues. The consequences of these
issues may include increases in manufacturing and administrative costs until the
problems are resolved, lost revenues, lower cash receipts and product liability.
DRS does not have control over these third parties and, as a result, cannot
currently estimate to what extent the future operating results of DRS may be
adversely affected by the failure of these third parties to address successfully
their Year 2000 issues. Failure by critical suppliers and customers (in
particular, the U.S. Government, on which DRS is materially dependent), however,
to achieve Year 2000 compliance in a timely manner could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations. Evaluations of critical third parties have
been initiated and should be completed by mid-1999. These evaluations will be
followed by corrective actions and the development of contingency plans, if
considered necessary.
The Product Issues section includes the process of identifying any
products sold by DRS which may not be Year 2000 compliant, determining a
corrective course of action and disseminating information with respect thereto
to customers. Although many of DRS' products that have integrated software are
Year 2000 compliant, there can be no assurances that all of DRS' products are
currently Year 2000 compliant. DRS's costs to achieve Year 2000 compliance will
include the costs and expenses of fulfilling warranty obligations on
non-compliant products. Detailed evaluations of certain products have been
initiated, and completion of this phase of the Company's Year 2000 project
should be completed by mid-1999. These evaluations will be followed by
corrective actions and the development of contingency plans, if considered
necessary.
Total costs associated with required IT Systems modifications to become
Year 2000 compliant are not expected to have a material effect on the
consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of DRS. To
the extent recoverable under the terms of contracts with its customers, DRS's
compliance costs will be included in establishing prices for the Company's
products and services, and therefore will be reflected in the Company's revenues
and costs and expenses. Uncertainties exist, however, as to DRS' ability to
detect in a timely manner all Year 2000 problems as well as its ability to
achieve successful and timely resolution of all Year 2000 issues. Consequently,
there can be no assurances as to the amount of total cost associated with
implementing DRS' Year 2000 Project and, as a result, the effect of such cost on
the consolidated result of operations, cash flows or financial position of DRS.
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect DRS' results of
operations, liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty
inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the
Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and

customers, DRS is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of
Year 2000 failure will have a material impact on DRS' results of operations,
liquidity or financial condition. DRS has begun the process of devising and
implementing its Year 2000 Project with the intention of significantly reducing
DRS' level of risk regarding the Year 2000 problem. DRS expects that if its Year
2000 Project is completed as scheduled, the risk of significant interruptions of
normal operations should be reduced.
