                     DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (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 September 30, 2000, and
     the results of operations and cash flows for the three- and six-month
     periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. All significant intercompany
     balances and transactions have been eliminated. On August 31, 2000 the
     Company completed the sale of its magnetic tape head business units located
     in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin and Razlog, Bulgaria (see Note 2.
     Discontinued Operation). Accordingly, the Company has restated its
     financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 1999 to present
     the operating results of these business units as discontinued operations.
     Certain other items in the accompanying notes to the September 30, 1999
     condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
     conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation. The results of operations for the
     three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   DISCONTINUED OPERATION

     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 and on August 31, 2000, the Company
     completed the sale. In fiscal 2000, in anticipation of the sale of the
     magnetic tape head business units, the Company recorded a $2.1 million
     charge, net of tax, on the disposal of these operations in the period ended
     March 31, 2000. Actual income from discontinued operations for the five
     months ended August 31, 2000 was $135,000 greater than estimated at March
     31, 2000. Other costs associated with the disposal substantially offset the
     improvement in operating results and as such no adjustment to the loss on
     disposal of discontinued operations recorded at March 31, 2000 was
     required.

3.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     On June 14, 2000, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company acquired the
     assets of General Atronics Corporation for $7.5 million in cash and $4.0
     million in stock (approximately 355,000 shares of DRS Common Stock). The
     Company funded the cash portion of this acquisition through borrowings
     under its revolving line of credit. 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 is being
     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 identifiable net
     assets acquired, and the appraised value of certain identified intangible
     assets were approximately $2.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and
     are being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years and ten
     years, respectively. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
     incurred approximately $369,000 in transaction costs. 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 results of the acquired business have been included in the
     consolidated financial statements of the Company since the acquisition
     date.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

     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 September 30, 2000:

     In the computation of earnings per common share for the six-month periods
     ended September 30, 1999, the assumed conversion of the Company's 9% Senior
     Subordinated Convertible Debentures were excluded because their inclusion
     would have been antidilutive. The Company's 12% Convertible Subordinated
     Promissory Notes (which were fully liquidated in the second quarter of
     fiscal 2000) were also excluded from the computation of earnings per share
     for the year to date period ended September 30, 1999 as their inclusion
     would have been antidilutive.

7.   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. 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 September 30, 2000:

     During the six-months ended September 30, 2000, holders of approximately
     $8.7 million of the Company's 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible debentures
     converted their debentures into approximately 1.0 million shares of the
     Company's common stock. The Company recorded an approximately $305,000
     non-cash charge in connection with the conversion.

     In connection with the sale of the magnetic tape head businesses the
     Company received a $2.0 million promissory note from the buyer.


10.  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. 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

     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 September 30, 2000
and for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 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.

DISCONTINUED OPERATION

On May 18, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved an agreement to sell
its magnetic tape head businesses located in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and
Razlog, Bulgaria, and on August 31, 2000, the Company completed the sale. The
sale of the magnetic tape head business represents a strategic decision by the
Company to focus its resources on its core businesses. The Company has restated
its financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended September
30, 1999, to reflect these business units as discontinued operations.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On June 14, 2000, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company acquired the assets
of General Atronics Corporation for $7.5 million in cash and $4.0 million in
stock (approximately 355,000 shares of DRS Common Stock). The Company funded the
cash portion of this acquisition through borrowings under its revolving credit
facility. 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 is being managed as part of the DRS
Flight Safety and Communications Group. The acquisition of DRS Communications
Company added approximately $25.9 million to the Company's backlog as of the
acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The excess of costs over the estimated fair value of
identifiable net assets acquired, and the appraised value of certain identified
intangible assets were approximately $2.6 million and $3.3 million,
respectively, and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years
and ten years, respectively. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
incurred approximately $369,000 in transaction costs. 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 results of
the acquired business have been included in the consolidated financial
statements since the acquisition date.

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.
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
September 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- and six-month periods ended September 30,
2000 increased $19.0 million and $27.8 million, respectively, as compared with
the corresponding prior year periods. The revenue growth in the first half 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 and
AN/UYQ-70 Advanced Display System engineering. Operating income increased
approximately 66% and 51% for the three- and six-month periods ended September
30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2000. The
increases in operating income was due to the overall increase in revenues and
lower operating expenses at certain operating units. Also impacting the
increases in revenue and operating income during the first half of fiscal 2001,
as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was the inclusion of the
operating results of the Company's fiscal 2001 acquisition of DRS Communications
Company. See discussion of operating segments below for additional information.

Interest and related expenses increased approximately $603,000 and $565,000 for
the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as
compared with the corresponding prior year periods. These increases were
primarily driven by an approximately $305,000 charge relating to the conversion
of the Company's 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001,

and higher interest rates during the three- and six-month periods ended
September 30, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999.

The provision for income taxes for the first half of fiscal 2001 reflects an
annual estimated effective income tax rate of approximately 51%, 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; losses in the Company's U.K. operations which may not be
deductible; 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- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 was $12.6 million
and $23.6 million, respectively, an increase of approximately 35% and 26% over
the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

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."

</TABLE>


ESG: ESG's increase in revenues for the three-month period ended September 30,
2000, as compared with the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, was due
primarily to an increase in engineering relating to the AN/UYQ-70 Advanced
Display System, increased shipments of Explorer portable workstations and
AN/SPS-67(V)3 search and navigation radar systems, offset in part by a decrease
in shipments of certain rugged computers and peripherals in Europe. The increase
in operating income and operating margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2001,
as compared to the corresponding prior period, was driven by the increase in
revenues, the realization of cost savings associated with the consolidation of
certain production facilities, and a change in product mix. Revenues and
operating income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2000 increased
slightly, as compared with prior year results for the same period. This increase
was driven by higher fiscal 2001 second quarter revenue and operating income, as
discussed above, offset in part by a decrease in first and second quarter
shipments of certain rugged computer and peripheral products in Europe with
corresponding lower margins due to less favorable absorption of fixed operating
expenses associated with lower production volumes.

                    DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


EOSG: For the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 revenues
increased by approximately $7.4 million and $17.8 million, respectively, as
compared with the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 1999. The
increases in revenues were 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. Operating income for the three- and six-month periods ended
September 30, 2000, increased $3.4 million and $5.2 million as compared with the
corresponding prior periods. The increases in operating income were primarily
driven by the increases in revenues, a change in product mix, and the
realization of management's fiscal 2000 reductions in 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 fiscal 2000 efforts to reduce
overall production costs (primarily by identifying and procuring certain
materials and subassemblies from alternate suppliers) are not reflected in the
fiscal 2000 second quarter operating results. Operating income for the three-
and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000 also include a $1.1 million
cumulative profit adjustment relating to a certain long-term production program
acquired in connection with a purchase business combination. Estimates to
complete this program were revised this quarter to reflect the benefit of
management's efforts to reduce general and administrative expenses. EOSG's
operating income for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000
also include charges of approximately $880,000 for revisions to estimates to
complete on other long-term production programs. Also driving the increases in
fiscal 2001 operating income and operating margins, as compared with the prior
year period, was the fact that EOSG's operating income for the six-month period
ended September 30, 1999 included a charge of $450,000 for certain product
warranty reserve issues.

FSCG: Revenue increased $7.2 million and $7.4 million for the three- and
six-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared with the
corresponding prior periods. The increases in revenues are primarily attributed
to the acquisition of General Atronics Corporation (now operating as DRS
Communications Company, LLC) during the first quarter of fiscal 2001, as well as
continued growth in the Group's contract manufacturing and shipboard
communications businesses. These increases were partially offset by delayed and
decreased orders for the Group's high-speed cameras and certain mission data
recording systems. The General Atronics acquisition contributed to the FSCG
operating segment approximately $8.3 million in revenues. Operating income
decreased $1.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30,
2000. These decreases in operating income and the corresponding decreases in
operating margin were primarily due to the decreases in revenues for the Group's
high-speed cameras and certain mission data recording systems, as discussed
above. In addition, the Group recorded a charge of approximately $1.4 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 2001 for additional charges expected to be incurred
in connection with the completion of the development of a new mission data
recording system for the U.S. Navy. Partially offsetting such decreases, DRS
Communications Company LLC contributed approximately $711,000 of operating
income to the Group for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000.

Other: The increase in revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended
September 30, 2000, as compared with the corresponding prior periods, was
primarily due to increased shipments of components used to manufacture disk
drive media. This revenue growth resulted from the improvement in the computer
disk drive marketplace and improved marketing of DRS Ahead's products and
services. The increase in operating income and improvement in operating margins
was a result of increased revenues and the impact of previously implemented cost
reduction initiatives at DRS Ahead. In addition to the cost reduction
initiatives, the increase in operating income reflects the allocation of certain
costs to the operating units, which had previously been recorded at DRS
Corporate.

</TABLE>


Operating cash flow for the six-months ended September 30, 2000 improved by
approximately $23.4 million as compared with the corresponding prior year
period. This improvement primarily results from increased earnings (net of
adjustments for non-cash items), increases in cash flows from changes in certain
liabilities and a decrease in liquidation of advanced payments.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended September
30, 2000 included approximately $7.0 million relating to the acquisition of
General Atronics Corporation and $8.4 million for capital expenditures. These
uses of cash were partially offset by a $3.0 million payment received in
connection with the sale of the Company's magnetic tape head businesses.

Net cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to increased
borrowings under the Company's $80 million (subject to a borrowing base
calculation) revolving line of credit with Mellon Bank, N.A, as agent (Mellon
Bank), maturing on October 20, 2003 (Line of Credit). During the six-month
period ended September 30, 2000, the Company borrowed approximately $37.4
million under the Line of Credit and repaid approximately $29.0 million. Of the
total $37.4 million borrowed, approximately $7.0 million was used to acquire the
net assets of General Atronics Corporation during the first quarter of fiscal
2001 and is classified as long-term debt. Other than cash flows from operations,
the Line of Credit is the Company's primary source of liquidity. As of September
30, 2000, the Company had approximately $40.8 million available under the Line
of Credit, after satisfaction of its borrowing base requirement. The Company
also has a term loan facility with Mellon Bank, in the form of two term loans.
During the six-months ended September 30, 2000, the Company paid $5.4 million in
principal payments against these term loans.

During the six-months ended September 30, 2000, holders of approximately $8.7
million of the Company's 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible debentures elected
to convert their debentures into approximately 1.0 million shares of the
Company's common stock.

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.

The Company's total debt to trailing twelve-month EBITDA improved to 2.4x at
September 30, 2000, from 3.6x at September 30, 1999. The improvement in fiscal
2001 was driven by increased earnings as well as a $21.7 million reduction in
total debt from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000.

BACKLOG

Backlog at September 30, 2000 was approximately $426.2 million as compared with
$388.1 million at March 31, 2000. The Company booked approximately $218.7
million in new orders in the first six months of fiscal 2001.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES 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 (the 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 September 30, 2000 and March 31,
2000 follows:

</TABLE>


The variable interest rates established under the Collar Agreements for the
Company's LIBOR and Canadian Bankers Acceptance Rate-based collars as of
September 30, 2000 were 6.71% and 5.87%, respectively.

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

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.
