adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of net income for the
unaudited six months ended September 30, 1996, and 1995 have been made.

REVENUES AND BACKLOG (CONT.)

Contract revenues during the first half of fiscal year 1997 were 23%
higher than in the first half of fiscal year 1996.  Revenues from
Geodynamics, which was acquired on March 28, 1996, and increased sales
of hardware and software products under the I-CASE contract account for
a large share of the increase.

Backlog at September 30, 1996, including priced options, increased by
seven percent from backlog at September 30, 1995, and increased by three
percent from backlog at March 31, 1996.  Booking highlights during the
second quarter include:
      -  $21 million for support on a classified contract
      -  $10 million for development of the U.S. Army's next generation
           Command and control training simulation environment, called
           WARSIM 2000
      -  $10 million for support of the Navy Center for Tactical
           Systems Interoperability; and
      -  $8 million worth of products and services under the I-CASE
           contract.

During the quarter, Logicon was also awarded two indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts: a five-year contract
from the National Institutes of Health for support of its Chief
Information Officer Solutions and Partners Program (CIOSP), under which
Logicon will compete with other information technology companies for
business worth an estimated $1 billion; and a five-year contract from
the Department of Justice for support of its Information Technology
Support Services (ITSS) 2001 Program, under which Logicon will compete
for business worth an estimated $100 million.  The company's backlog is
not subject to any significant seasonal fluctuations, but is likely to
vary substantially as contracts near completion and in conjunction with
the execution of major contractual renewals or the award of major new
contracts.  The company's contracts with the government are subject to
redirection or termination for convenience, or may not result in future
revenues due to events and actions taken by the customer outside of the
company's control.

Contract awards that authorize the company to provide services and
products are included in firm backlog.  When such authorizations have
become inactive and the company reasonably anticipates no future revenue
from such awards, they are removed from firm backlog.  Firm backlog may
be funded or unfunded.  The funded backlog at March 31, 1996, was $225
million and the funded backlog at September 30, 1996 and 1995, was $225
million and $220 million, respectively.

Contract awards that allow the customer to contract for services and
products at specified values upon the issuance of contract
modifications, normally referred to as options or delivery orders, are
recorded in backlog at the value stated in the contract.  These amounts
are not included in firm backlog until such future contract
modifications are issued.  Accordingly, total backlog reflected above
may not result in future revenues.  In recent years the company's
customers have increasingly entered into this form of contract.

Return on revenue before tax            10.3%    8.4%      9.5%     8.3%

Income tax rate                         41.3%   40.4%     41.3%    40.6%

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was increased by $0.7
million or 5 cents per share, as a result of adjustments on two
contracts.  A one hundred percent award fee was received on one contract, 
which exceeded prior estimates, and a second contract experienced a
significant reduction in the estimated costs to complete.

The profit margin for the first half of fiscal year 1996 was also lower
than the same period this year due to a lesser amount of interest income
earned on a smaller cash and marketable securities portfolio.

Days sales in receivables decreased to 48 days for September 30, 1996,
from 67 days for March 31, 1996.  The company has adequate cash and
credit lines available to fund fluctuations in receivable balances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided from operating activities was $25.8 million in the first
half of fiscal 1997 and $2.7 million in the first half of fiscal 1996,
and is the company's primary source of liquidity.  The company's working
capital increased to $100.2 million at September 30, 1996, from $87.2
million at March 31, 1996.  The strong working capital position is
reflected in the current ratio of 3.0 to 1 at September 30, 1996.  The
working capital improvement during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was
due to increased collections of accounts receivables.

The company's Consolidated Balance Sheet is exceptionally strong, with
no debt.  Management believes that the company's existing capital
resources are sufficient to provide for its operating needs and
continued growth.  A $25,000,000 unsecured line of credit exists to
provide working capital for temporary requirements.  There were no
borrowings under the line during the first half of fiscal year 1997.

PURCHASE OF TREASURY STOCK

The company purchased 208,700 shares for an aggregate cost of $5.6
million during the second quarter of fiscal year 1997.  On August 5,
1996, the board of directors authorized the company to spend up to $20
million to purchase additional shares of the company's common stock in
open market transactions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

To the extent the information contained in this discussion and analysis
of consolidated financial condition and results of operations, as well as
the information included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, are viewed as forward-looking statements, the reader
is cautioned that various risks and uncertainties exist that could cause
the actual future results to differ materially from that inferred by the
forward-looking statements.  Since the company's primary customer is the
U.S. government, future results could be impacted by: the right of the 
government to redirect, modify, terminate or otherwise cause work to be
stopped on contracts issued by it; government customer's budgetary
constraints; and the contracting practices of the company's current and
prospective customers.  Some additional factors, among others, that also
need to be considered are: the likelihood that actual future revenues
that are realized may differ from those inferred from existing total
backlog; the ability of the company to attract and retain highly trained
professional employees; the availability of capital and/or financing;
and changes in the utilization of the company's leased facilities that
could result in higher costs.  The reader is further cautioned that
risks and uncertainties exist that have not been mentioned herein due to
their unforeseeable nature, but which, nevertheless, may impact the
company's future operations.
