NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.    Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
      In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance
      sheet at June 30,  1995,  and the  unaudited  consolidated  statements  of
      income and unaudited  consolidated  condensed statements of cash flows for
      the interim  periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 include all  adjustments
      (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly these
      financial statements.

      Certain  information  and  footnote   disclosures   normally  included  in
      financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The year-end balance
      sheet data was derived from  audited  financial  statements,  but does not
      include disclosures required by generally accepted accounting  principles.
      It is suggested  that these  condensed  statements be read in  conjunction
      with the Company's most recent Form 10-K and Annual Report as of March 31,
      1995.

B.   Divestments
      In June 1995, the Corporation sold two businesses for  approximately  $2.7
      million in cash. The effects of these  transactions  were reflected in the
      fiscal 1994 restructuring charge and did not effect fiscal 1996 earnings.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations


Results of Operations
Consolidated  sales for the three months  ended June 30, 1995 were  $118,265,000
compared to $117,772,000 in the prior year's first quarter.  Information Support
Products  segment  sales  rose 13% for the three  months  ended in  fiscal  1996
reflecting a 20% growth for  communication  test products and a 30% increase for
industrial  connectivity  products.  Sales of medical and diagnostic products in
the  Diversified  Instrumentation  segment were flat  compared to the prior year
quarter.  The sale of twelve businesses and product lines during fiscal 1995 and
1996  coupled  with sales  declines  in  nonstrategic  businesses  held for sale
resulted   in  an  overall   sales   reduction   of  30%  for  the   Diversified
Instrumentation  segment.  Backlog from ongoing  operations was $65.0 million at
June 30, 1995 compared with $72.1 million at March 31, 1995,  reflecting planned
backlog  reductions in  communications  test and medical and diagnostic  product
lines.

Consolidated gross profit was 53.8% for the current quarter compared to 51.8% in
the prior year quarter.  The increase in rate was primarily  driven by operating
efficiencies  from business  restructuring.  Information  Support Products gross
margin increased to 57.0% compared to 55.7% in the prior year quarter,  however,
medical  and  diagnostic  product  margins  in the  Diversified  Instrumentation
segment  declined to 50.3% compared to 53.2% for the prior year period.  Product
development  expense was 12.4% of  consolidated  sales for the  current  quarter
compared  to 10.9% in the first  quarter of the prior  year.  The  increase  was
attributed  to  communication  test  and  display  businesses.  Amortization  of
<PAGE>
intangibles,  of which $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and $1.0
million in the first quarter of the prior year related to product technology and
was  excluded  from cost of sales,  declined  due to  business  divestments  and
discontinuance  of product  lines.  Interest  expense  declined  in the  current
quarter as compared  with the prior year as a result of  repayment  of loan debt
from favorable  operating  cash flow.  Interest  income  increased due to higher
investment  rates and earnings on notes acquired in divestment  activities.  The
effective tax rate declined to 40.5% for the current  quarter  compared to 43.1%
in the prior  year  quarter  resulting  from  lower  nondeductible  amortization
charges.

Net income increased 26% to $4,625,000, for the current quarter from $3,660,000,
for the first  quarter of the prior year,  reflecting  higher gross  margins and
lower  amortization  and  interest  costs  offset  partially  by higher  product
development costs. Earnings per share increased 30% compared to the year earlier
period.

While the Company  believes  that the  outlook for the second  quarter of fiscal
1996 is good, no assurance can be given that  operating  results for the quarter
will meet those of the second  quarter of fiscal 1995 which  produced net income
of $.29 per share.  Operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 will
depend upon, among other things,  the incoming order rate during the quarter for
the Company's  various  businesses,  product mix, and the  continued  successful
implementation of the Company's reorganization plan.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
The  Company's  funded debt was 11% of total  capital at June 30, 1995, a slight
increase from the lowest  year-end  level in Company  history of 7% at March 31,
1995. The working  capital ratio improved to 2.4 to 1 at June 30, 1995 from 2 to
1 at March 31, 1995. Cash outlays for the streamlining and restructuring actions
approximated  $1.3  million  in the  first  quarter.  Dynatech  believes  it has
sufficient  resources  to  finance  its cash  requirements  over  the next  year
including  the  ongoing  streamlining  and  restructuring  actions.  The current
capital structure provides sufficient  financial  flexibility to pursue business
opportunities.
