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, 1996, and the unaudited consolidated statements of income
     and unaudited consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the
     interim periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 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 Annual Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended
     March 31, 1996.

     This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
     uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from
     the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might
     cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, product demand and
     market acceptance risks, the effect of economic conditions, the impact of
     competitive products and pricing, product development, commercialization
     and technological difficulties, capacity and supply constraints or
     difficulties, availability of capital resources, general business and
     economic conditions, the effect of the company's accounting policies, and
     other risks detailed in the Company's Annual Report and 10K for the fiscal
     year ended March 31, 1996.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates in these
     financial statements include allowances for accounts receivable, net
     realizable value of inventories, tax valuation reserves, and the net
     realizable value of assets from discounted operations held for sale. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.



B.   Divestments 
     During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company sold two businesses for
     approximately $10.3 million in cash. The effects of these transactions were
     reflected in the net assets held for sale and did not effect fiscal 1997
     earnings.

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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Consolidated sales from continuing operations for the three months ended June
30, 1996 were $81,122,000 compared to $66,758,000 in the prior fiscal year's
first quarter. Communication test sales rose 27% for the three months ended in
fiscal 1997. The increase was due in part to acquired businesses in the last
half of fiscal year 1996. Sales for the Industrial and Scientific communications
and non-Broadcast Video Technology segments were up 17% and 11%, respectively
over the corresponding quarter ending June 30, 1995. Backlog from ongoing
operations was $55.6 million at June 30, 1996 compared with $57.3 million at
March 31, 1996. The decrease was due to shipments from backlog generated by
large incoming orders in the March quarter in the Communications Test division.

Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations was 62.7% for the current
quarter compared to 62.2% in the prior fiscal year quarter. The increase in rate
is a result of strong sales of certain higher margin communication test products
and industrial and scientific communications products. Product development
expense increased 4.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 versus the three
months ended June 30, 1995. As a percentage of sales, product development
decreased to 11.9% as compared to 13.8% in the comparable quarter a year ago.
Amortization of intangible assets was $1.6 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 and $1.1 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The
increase year over year is due to Communication Test acquisitions made during
the second half of fiscal 1996. Selling, General and Administrative expense as a
percentage of sales declined to 32.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as
compared to 34.2% in the corresponding quarter a year ago. The decrease was due
to greater efficiencies in selling communications products and leverage in sales
costs for industrial and scientific communications products. Interest income
increased due to earnings on cash received from proceeds of assets held for
sale. The effective tax rate was 41% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to 40.5% in the prior year quarter resulting from higher nondeductible
amortization charges.

Net income from continuing operations increased 67% to $8,412,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 from $5,047,000 for the first quarter of this prior
year, reflecting increased sales of 22%, higher gross margins, lower general,
administrative and selling costs, and higher interest income, partially offset
by higher product development and increased amortization cost. Earnings per
share for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $.46 representing a 64% increase
as compared to the prior year period.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------

The Company's funded debt was .2% of total capital at June 30, 1996, a decrease
from 1.5% at March 31, 1996. The working capital rate decreased slightly to 3.5
to 1 at June 30, 1996 from 3.6 to 1 at March 31, 1996. Cash inflows from
proceeds of business assets held for sale approximated $10.3 million in the
first quarter. Cash outflows of approximately $9.5 million were used to purchase
treasury stock. Dynatech believes it has sufficient resources to finance its

cash requirements over the next year. The current capital structure provides
sufficient financial flexibility to pursue business opportunities.
