       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     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, 2000, and the
     results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June
     30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. All significant intercompany balances and
     transactions have been eliminated. On May 18, 2000, the Company's Board of
     Directors approved an agreement to sell its magnetic tape head business
     units located in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin and Razlog, Bulgaria.
     Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements for the
     period ended June 30, 1999 to present the operating results of these
     business units as discontinued operations. Management anticipates that the
     sale will be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Certain other
     items in the accompanying notes to the June 30, 1999 condensed consolidated
     financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2001
     presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30,
     2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
     full year.

2.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     On June 14, 2000, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company acquired the
     assets of General Atronics Corporation for $7.0 million in cash and $4.0
     million in stock (approximately 355,000 shares of DRS Common Stock).
     Located in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, and now operating as DRS Communications
     Company, LLC (DRS Communications Company), the company designs, develops
     and manufactures military data link components and systems, high-frequency
     communication modems, tactical and secure digital telephone components, and
     radar surveillance systems for U.S. and international militaries. DRS
     Communications Company will be managed as part of the DRS Flight Safety and
     Communications Group. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
     purchase method of accounting. The excess of costs over the estimated fair
     value of the net tangible assets acquired was approximately $5.3 million,
     including estimated costs of approximately $1.0 million for professional
     fees and other expenses related to the acquisition, and is being amortized
     on a straight-line basis over periods not to exceed twenty years. Purchase
     price allocation has not yet been finalized, and actual purchase price
     allocation may differ from that used in these Condensed Consolidated
     Financial Statements. The financial position and results of operations of
     DRS Communications Company, were not significant to those of the Company as
     of the acquisition date or for the period presented.

     In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 the Company closed its Longmont,
     Colorado facility, which was acquired as part of the Company's
     acquisition of NAI Technologies, Inc. in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
     Engineering and production performed at this facility were transferred to
     other DRS locations. Approximately $1.5 million was recorded in fiscal
     2000, as an adjustment to acquisition cost, for costs incurred in
     connection with closing the facility. The following table reconciles the
     related liability at March 31, 2000 to the liability as of June 30, 2000:

6.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

     During fiscal 2000, the Company recorded restructuring charges totalling
     approximately $2.2 million. The Company's restructuring initiatives
     impacted the Electro-Optical Systems Group (EOSG) and Flight Safety and
     Communications Group (FSCG) operating segments and DRS Corporate
     Headquarters. EOSG recorded a restructuring charge of aproximately $831,000
     primarily for costs relating to consolidating two facilities into one in
     Oakland, New Jersey, as of March 31, 2000. FSCG recorded a restructuring
     charge of approximately $669,000 and $143,000 at its DRS Hadland Ltd. ("DRS
     Hadland") and DRS Precision Echo, Inc. operating units, respectively, for
     severance and other employee related costs. The DRS Hadland restructuring
     charge was recorded in connection with the transition of the day-to-day
     management of DRS Hadland's operations from EOSG to FSCG in the second half
     of fiscal 2000. In addition, DRS Corporate Headquarters recorded a
     restructuring charge of approximately $560,000 for severance and other
     employee related costs. Severance and other employee costs were recorded in
     connection with the termination of 13 employees. As of March 31, 2000, all
     terminations had occurred. A portion of the termination benefits will be
     paid in accordance with contractual terms over the next two years. The
     following table reconciles the restructuring liability at March 31, 2000 to
     the restructuring liability as of June 30, 2000:

9. CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is party to various legal actions and claims arising in the
     ordinary course of its business. In Management's opinion, the Company has
     adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims and that their
     ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     In April and May 1998, subpoenas were issued to the Company by the United
     States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York seeking documents
     related to a governmental investigation of certain equipment manufactured
     by DRS Photronics, Inc. (Photronics). These subpoenas were issued in
     connection with United States v. Treas, 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.
     Although additional subpoenas were issued to the Company on August 12, 1999
     and May 10, 2000, to date, no claim has been made against the Company or
     Photronics. During the Government's investigation, until October 29, 1999,
     Photronics was unable to ship certain equipment related to the case,
     resulting in delays in the Company's recognition of revenues. On October
     29, 1999, Photronics received authorization to ship its first boresight
     system since the start of the investigation. At this time, however, the
     Company is unable to quantify the effect of the delayed shipments on its
     future operations or financial position, or to predict when regular
     shipments ultimately will resume, although the delays are expected to
     impact the Company's fiscal year 2001 results.

     The Company is presently involved in a dispute in arbitration with Spar
     Aerospace Limited (Spar) with respect to the working capital adjustment, if
     any, provided for in the purchase agreement between the Company and Spar
     dated as of September 19, 1997, pursuant to which the Company acquired,
     through certain of its subsidiaries, certain assets of Spar. The Company is
     also in a dispute with Raytheon Company (Raytheon) with respect to the
     working capital adjustment (not to exceed $7.0 million), if any, provided
     for in the purchase agreement between the Company and Raytheon dated as of
     July 28, 1998, pursuant to which the Company acquired, through certain
     subsidiaries, certain assets of Raytheon.

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 continuing operations of DRS Technologies,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (hereinafter, the Company or DRS) as of June 30, 2000 and
for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes.

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 risks and uncertainties are inherent to forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, the Company's actual results could differ materially
from those suggested by such forward-looking statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On June 14, 2000, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company acquired the assets
of General Atronics Corporation for $7.0 million in cash and $4.0 million in
stock (approximately 355,000 shares of DRS Common Stock). Located in Wyndmoor,
Pennsylvania, and now operating as DRS Communications Company, LLC (DRS
Communications Company), the company designs, develops and manufactures military
data link components and systems, high-frequency communication modems, tactical
and secure digital telephone components, and radar surveillance systems for U.S.
and international militaries. DRS Communications Company will be managed as part
of the DRS Flight Safety and Communications Group. The acquisition of DRS
Communications Company added approximately $25.5 million to the Company's
backlog as of June 30, 2000. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The excess of costs over the estimated fair value
of the net tangible assets acquired was approximately $5.3 million, including
estimated costs of approximately $1.0 million for professional fees and other
expenses related to the acquisition, and is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over periods not to exceed twenty years. Purchase price allocation has not
yet been finalized, and actual purchase price allocation may differ from that
used in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial
position and results of operations of DRS Communications Company were not
significant to those of the Company as of the acquisition date and for the
period presented.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

During fiscal 2000, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling
approximately $2.2 million. The Company's restructuring initiatives impacted the
Electro-Optical Systems Group (EOSG) and Flight Safety and Communications Group
(FSCG) operating segments and DRS Corporate Headquarters. EOSG recorded a
restructuring charge of approximately $831,000 primarily for costs relating to
consolidating two facilities into one in Oakland, New Jersey, as of March 31,
2000. FSCG recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $669,000 and
$143,000 at its DRS Hadland Ltd. ("DRS Hadland") and DRS Precision Echo, Inc.
operating units, respectively, for severance and other employee related costs.


                                       10

<PAGE>

The DRS Hadland restructuring charge was recorded in connection with the
transition of the day-to-day management of DRS Hadland's operations from EOSG to
FSCG in the second half of fiscal 2000. In addition, DRS Corporate Headquarters
recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $560,000 for severance and
other employee related costs. Severance and other employee costs were recorded
in connection with the termination of 13 employees. As of March 31, 2000, all
terminations had occurred. A portion of the termination benefits will be paid in
accordance with contractual terms over the next two years. The following table
reconciles the restructuring liability at March 31, 2000 to the restructuring
liability as of June 30, 2000:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's operating cycle is long-term and involves various types of
production contracts and varying production delivery schedules. Accordingly,
results of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded
revenues and earnings, may not be indicative of future operating results. The
following comparative analysis should be viewed in this context

CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY

Consolidated revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 increased
approximately 10% to $94.5 million from $85.6 for the same three-month period in
fiscal 2000. The revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was
primarily attributable to increased shipments of the Company's second generation
ground electro-optical sighting systems and infrared detectors, as well as
increases in electro-optical contract manufacturing. Operating income increased
approximately 36% to $7.2 million from $5.3 for the same three-month period in
fiscal 2000. The increase in operating income was due to the overall increase in
revenues and lower operating expenses at certain operating units. See discussion
of operating segments below for additional information.

Interest and related expenses were approximately $3.1 million for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999.

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 reflects an
annual estimated effective income tax rate of 50%, versus 40% for fiscal 2000.
The increase in the effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 is primarily due to the
following: the continued improvement in domestic earnings, which are taxed at
higher overall rates in comparison to the Company's foreign tax jurisdictions;
the effect of non-deductible goodwill and the Company's expectation that certain
domestic and foreign tax benefits, recognized in fiscal 2000, will not be
recurring in fiscal 2001.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
for the three-months ended June 30, 2000 was $11.0 million, an increase of $1.6
million or 17.1% as compared with the three-months ended June 30, 1999.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

DRS operates in three principal business segments on the basis of products and
services offered. Each operating unit is comprised of separate and distinct
businesses: the Electronic Systems Group (ESG); the Electro-Optical Systems
Group (EOSG), and the Flight Safety and Communications Group (FSCG). All other
operations are grouped in "Other."

o    ESG is a leading provider of naval computer workstations used to process
     and display integrated combat information. ESG produces rugged computers
     and peripherals, surveillance, radar and tracking systems, acoustic signal
     processing and display equipment, and combat control systems for U.S. and
     international military organizations. ESG performs field service and depot
     level repairs for its products, as well as other manufacturers' systems,
     and also provides systems and software engineering support to the U.S. Navy
     for the testing of shipboard combat systems. ESG products are used on
     front-line platforms, including Aegis destroyers and cruisers, aircraft
     carriers, submarines and surveillance aircraft. ESG's products also are
     used in the U.S. Army's ongoing battlefield digitization programs. ESG
     markets directly to various U.S. Government agencies, primarily in the
     intelligence community, and has teamed with leading corporations, such as
     General Dynamics and Booz-Allen.

o    EOSG produces systems and subsystems for infrared night vision and
     targeting products used in some of the U.S. Army's most important
     battlefield platforms, including the Abrams Main Battle Tank, Bradley
     Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the HMMWV scout vehicle. EOSG designs,
     manufactures and markets products that allow operators to detect, identify
     and target objects based upon their infrared signatures regardless of the
     ambient light level. This Group is also a leading designer and manufacturer
     of eye-safe laser range finders and multiple-platform weapons calibration
     systems for such diverse air platforms as the Apache attack helicopter and
     AC-130U gunship. EOSG is leveraging its technology base by expanding into
     related non-defense markets and manufactures electro-optical modules for a
     commercial device used in corrective laser eye surgery.

o    FSCG is a leading manufacturer of deployable flight emergency or "black
     box" recording equipment. These complete emergency avionics systems combine
     the functionality of a crash locator beacon with a flight incident recorder
     for search, recovery and crash analysis. This Group uses advanced
     commercial technology in the design and manufacture of multi-sensor
     digital, analog and video data capture and recording products, as well as
     high-capacity data storage devices for harsh aerospace and defense
     environments. FSCG also manufactures shipboard communications and infrared
     laser warning and range finder displays for Canadian and other foreign
     navies. FSCG is also a leading manufacturer of ultra high-speed digital
     imaging systems.

o    Other includes the activities of the parent company, DRS Corporate
     Headquarters, DRS Ahead Technology, Inc. (DRS Ahead) and certain
     non-operating subsidiaries of the Company. DRS Ahead produces magnetic head
     components used in the manufacturing process of computer disk drives, which
     burnish and verify the quality of disk surfaces. DRS Ahead also services
     and manufactures video heads used in broadcast television equipment.

ESG: ESG's decrease in revenue and operating income for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2000, as compared with the period ended June 30, 1999, was due
primarily to a decline in shipments of certain rugged computer and peripheral
products in the U.K. and less favorable absorption of fixed operating expenses
associated with lower production volumes. The overall decrease in revenue and
operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was offset, in part, by the
continued growth of the Company's military display workstation programs.
Operating income was also impacted favorably in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
by the cost savings associated with the Company shutting down its Longmont,
Colorado facility at the end of fiscal 2000 and consolidating production into
the Company's newest production facility in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.


EOSG: For the three-months ended June 30, 2000 revenues increased by
approximately $10.5 million, as compared with the three-months ended June 30,
1999, while operating income improved by 86% to $3.8 million. The increase in
revenues is driven by increased shipments of the Group's second generation
ground electro-optical sighting systems, infrared detectors, and boresighting
systems, as well as increases in electro-optical contract manufacturing. The
increase in operating income was primarily driven by the 36% increase in
revenues and changes in product mix to higher margin products. In addition to a
change in product mix, the 37% improvement in operating margin in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 was also due to the realization of management's fiscal
2000 efforts to reduce overall production costs on a certain long-term
production program. Shipments under the current production contract for such
program commenced

in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, and as such the benefits of management's
cost reduction initiatives are not reflected in the fiscal 2000 first quarter
operating results. Also driving the increases in fiscal 2001 operating income
and operating margins was the fact that EOSG's operating income for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1999 included a charge of $450,000 for certain
product warranty reserve issues.


FSCG: FSCG's revenues increased 1.0% to $11.3 million, as compared with prior
year results, while operating income improved by 3.6% to approximately $1.0
million. Increases in revenue and operating income for the Group's contract
manufacturing services were offset by decreases in revenues and operating income
for the Group's high-speed cameras and mission data recording systems. Operating
margin increased to 8.4% for the three-months ended June 30, 2000, as compared
with 8.2% for the three-months ended June 30, 1999. This margin increase was
driven by a change in product mix and the impact of certain cost reduction
efforts implemented in the second half of fiscal 2000.

Other: The increase in revenues resulted from the improvement in the computer
disk drive marketplace and improved marketing of DRS Ahead's products and
services. The improvement in operating income and operating margin was the
result of increased revenues and the impact of previously implemented cost
reduction initiatives at DRS Ahead and the timing of certain costs recorded at
DRS Corporate Headquarters.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

CASH AND CASH FLOW

The following table provides cash flow statement data for the Company for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30 1999:

 Net cash used in investing activities               $(9,297)       $(1,308)

 Net cash provided by financing activities           $12,161        $ 9,052


The $.9 million net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, is related to a $7.0 million decrease in advance payments under
the Q-70 program offset by a $3.5 million increase under the IBAS program, a
$5.0 million increase in accrued costs on acquired contracts under the HTI
program, a $.9 million decrease in unearned income under the Detector program
and a reduction in accrued expenses of $1.4 million relating to the shutting
down of the Longmont, Colorado facility.

Net cash used in investing activities for three-month period ended June 30, 2000
includes $6.8 million relating to the acquisition of DRS Communications Company
and $2.6 million for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing
activities in the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 of $1.3 million,
consisted solely of capital expenditures. The Company expects that its capital
expenditures rate for the quarter will remain unchanged for the balance of the
year.

The $12.2 million of net cash provided by financing activities is primarily due
to increased borrowings under the Company's $70 million (subject to a borrowing
base calculation) revolving line of credit with Mellon Bank, N.A, as agent,
maturing on October 20, 2003 (Line of Credit). The increased borrowings under
the Line of Credit were used to finance the acquisition of DRS Communications
Company and for increased working capital requirements. Other than cash flows
from operations, the Line of Credit is the Company's primary source of
liquidity. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $35.6 million
available under the Line of Credit, after satisfaction of its borrowing base
requirement. The increase in borrowings was partially offset by the Company's
payments on long-term debt of $1.9 million.

                     DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


The Company actively seeks to finance its business in a manner that preserves
financial flexibility, while minimizing borrowing costs to the extent
practicable. Management continually reviews the changing financial, market and
economic conditions to manage the types, amounts and maturities of the
Corporation's indebtedness.

BACKLOG

Backlog at June 30, 2000 was approximately $408.5 million (including $25.5
million in backlog added as a result of the acquisition of DRS Communications
Company), as compared with $388.1 million at March 31, 2000. The Company
booked approximately $92.6 million in new orders in the first quarter of fiscal
2001.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risks
relating to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange risk.
The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes.

INTEREST RATE RISK

As the Company seeks debt financing to maintain its ongoing operations and
sustain its growth, it is exposed to interest rate risk. Borrowings under the
Company's $160 million secured credit facility with Mellon Bank, N.A., as Agent,
are sensitive to changes in interest rates as such borrowings bear interest at
variable rates. In January 1998, and January 1999 the Company entered into
interest rate collar agreements to limit the impact of interest rate
fluctuations on cash flow and interest expense. A summary of the interest rate
collar agreements in place as of June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000 follows:

The weighted average interest rate the Company's LIBOR and Canadian Bankers

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK

DRS operates and conducts business in foreign countries and as a result is
exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. More specifically,
our net equity is impacted by the conversion of the net assets of foreign
subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar for U.S.
reporting purposes. The Company believes that its exposure to foreign currency
exchange risk related to its foreign operations is not material to the Company's
results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The Company, at
present, does not hedge this risk, but continues to evaluate such foreign
currency translation risk exposure.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


        We are a party to various legal actions and claims arising in the
        ordinary course of our business. In our opinion, we have adequate legal
        defenses for each of the actions and claims, and we believe that their
        ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on our
        consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In April and May 1998, subpoenas were issued to the Company by the
        United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York seeking
        documents related to a governmental investigation of certain equipment
        manufactured by DRS Photronics, Inc. (Photronics). 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. Although additional subpoenas were issued to the Company on
        August 12, 1999 and May 10, 2000, to date, no claim has been made
        against the Company or Photronics. During the Government's
        investigation, until October 29, 1999, Photronics was unable to ship
        certain equipment related to the case, resulting in delays in the
        Company's recognition of revenues. On October 29, 1999, Photronics
        received authorization to ship its first boresight system since the
        start of the investigation. At this time, however, the Company is unable
        to quantify the effect of the delayed shipments on its future
        operations or financial position, or to predict when regular shipments
        ultimately will resume, although the delays are expected to impact the
        Company's fiscal year 2001 results.

        We are presently involved in a dispute in arbitration with Spar
        Aerospace Limited (Spar) with respect to the working capital adjustment,
        if any, provided for in the purchase agreement between the Company and
        Spar dated as of September 19, 1997, pursuant to which we acquired,
        through certain of our subsidiaries, certain assets of Spar. We are also
        in a dispute with Raytheon Company (Raytheon) with respect to the
        working capital adjustment, if any, provided for in the purchase
        agreement between the Company and Raytheon dated as of July 28, 1998,
        pursuant to which we acquired, through certain subsidiaries, certain
        assets of Raytheon.
