              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   The accompanying statements are unaudited and have been prepared by ECC
     pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. The June 30, 1997 consolidated balance sheet was derived from
     audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required
     by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management
     the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
     adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
     present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations
     and cash flows for the interim period presented. These unaudited
     consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company's
     Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

2.   Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to
     common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
     outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by
     dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average
     number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the
     number of shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential
     common shares had been issued. The diluted loss per share does not assume
     the exercise of options that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings
     per share.

     The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the basic and
     diluted per share calculations are identical since the assumed exercise of
     options would be antidilutive.

     The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period
     presented are as follows:

3.   The Company did not comply with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio at
     September 30, 1997 or December 31, 1997 under its Term Loan and Revolving
     Credit Agreement and, accordingly, has received irrevocable waivers with
     respect to such covenant from its bank lender. The Company made the two
     final required payments on its term loan totaling $2,250,000 during the
     first quarter of fiscal year 1998.

     On November 25, 1997, the Company executed an amendment to its Revolving
     Credit Agreement whereby the maximum aggregate principal amount of
     advances, including the face amount of Letters of Credit, was reduced from
     $25 million to $15 million. In addition, the Company was required to pay $6
     million on the Revolving Credit Agreement with proceeds from the sale of
     certain assets of the vending operation.


<PAGE>   9


     The Company's bank lenders also extended the Revolving Credit Agreement's
     expiration date to October 1, 1998. Pending re-negotiation of the Revolving
     Credit Agreement, outstanding amounts due under the Agreement are
     classified as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at
     December 31, 1997.

4.   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
     ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 specifies new standards designed to improve the
     earnings per share ("EPS") information provided in financial statements by
     simplifying the existing computational guidelines, revising the disclosure
     requirements, and increasing the comparability of EPS data on an
     international basis. Changes made to simplify the EPS computation include:
     eliminating the presentation of primary EPS and replacing it with basic
     EPS, with the principal difference being that common stock equivalents are
     not considered in computing basic EPS. The Company adopted this standard
     during the second quarter of fiscal year 1998. There was no significant
     change in loss per share as a result of the adoption of this standard. Loss
     per share amounts for all periods presented were restated to conform to the
     SFAS 128 requirements.

5.   On November 25,1997, the Company completed the sale of the fixed assets,
     inventory and trade receivables of the Company's vending operation.
     Proceeds from the sale of the vending operation were used to reduce the
     Company's debt.

     Operating results have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated
     statements of operations. Net losses for the six and three-month periods
     ended December 31, 1997 were included as a component of discontinued
     operations in the Company's June 30, 1997 consolidated financial
     statements. Discontinued operations at June 30, 1997 included management's
     best estimates of the amounts expected to be realized on the sale of the
     vending operation, the costs directly associated with the disposal of the
     operation, as well as the operating losses expected to be incurred during
     the phase-out period.

     During the second quarter of fiscal year 1998, the Company recorded an
     additional provision for the estimated loss on disposal of discontinued
     operations of $370,000, after-tax. This change in the estimated loss
     resulted primarily from additional costs associated with the consummation
     of the sale of the fixed assets, inventory and trade receivables of the
     vending operation.

                    ECC INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          OVERVIEW

          This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
          within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934, as amended. For this purpose, any statements contained herein
          that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
          forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words
          "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar expressions
          are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a
          number of factors that could cause the Company's actual results to
          differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
          statements. These factors include, without limitation, those set forth
          below under the caption "Certain Factors that May Affect Future
          Operating Results."

     a)   MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION.

          During the six-month period ended December 31, 1997, the Company's
          principal sources of cash were proceeds from the sale of certain
          assets of the vending operation, billings and receipts on costs and
          estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and
          advances on contracts in the UK subsidiary. The principal uses of
          these funds were to make the final payments on the term loan, pay down
          the revolving credit agreement, reduce accounts payable and accrued
          expenses, finance the increase in inventories and to fund improvements
          to the Orlando facility.

          Accounts receivable, raw material, and property, plant and equipment
          decreased as a result of the sale of these items in connection with
          the disposal of the vending operation. (See Note 5 to the Consolidated
          Financial Statements.)

          Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
          contracts decreased due to the completion or near completion of
          several contracts in the domestic training division.

          Work in process inventory increased primarily due to unabsorbed
          overhead. Overhead is absorbed on an annualized projected rate.
          Management expects that volume during the remaining fiscal 1998
          quarters will support the currently budgeted overhead rate.

          Finished goods inventory decreased as a result of the sale of vending
          units inventoried at June 30, 1997.

          Prepaid expenses and other increased primarily due to the federal tax
          benefit recorded for the federal net operating loss realized during
          the six-month period ended December 31, 1997.

          Advances on long-term contracts increased as a result of payments
          received in advance of work performed on contracts in the U.K.
          division.


<PAGE>   11




          Accrued expenses decreased primarily as a result of the realization of
          accrued losses associated with the sale of certain assets of the
          vending operation on November 25, 1997. (See Note 5 to the
          Consolidated Financial Statements.)

          The increase in capital in excess of par was primarily the result of
          employee stock bonuses and director equity compensation during the
          six-month period ended December 31, 1997.

          The Company did not comply with the minimum fixed charge coverage
          ratio at September 30, 1997 or December 31, 1997 under its Term Loan
          and Revolving Credit Agreement and, accordingly, has received
          irrevocable waivers with respect to such covenant from its bank
          lender. The Company made the two final required payments on its term
          loan totaling $2,250,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 1998.

          On November 25, 1997, the Company executed an amendment to its
          Revolving Credit Agreement whereby the maximum aggregate principal
          amount of advances, including the face amount of Letters of Credit,
          was reduced from $25 million to $15 million. In addition, the Company
          was required to pay $6 million on the Revolving Credit Agreement with
          proceeds from the sale of certain assets of the vending operation.

          The Company's bank lenders also extended the Revolving Credit
          Agreement's expiration date to October 1, 1998. Pending re-negotiation
          of the Revolving Credit Agreement, outstanding amounts due under the
          Loan Facility are classified as current liabilities in the
          consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1997.

          During the remainder of fiscal year 1998, the Company anticipates
          spending approximately $1 million for new machinery and equipment and
          to continue to refurbish the Orlando facility.

          Other than as stated above, the Company currently has no other
          material commitments for capital expenditures. Management believes
          that with funds available under its loan facility and its projected
          cash flows, the Company will have sufficient resources to meet current
          and future operating commitments.

     b)   MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

          Continuing Operations

          Net sales decreased for the six and three-month periods ended December
          31, 1997 as compared to the same periods ended December 31, 1996. The
          decrease in net sales is primarily the result of several domestic
          training division contracts with reduced activity as they are complete
          or near completion. This decrease in net sales was only partially
          offset by sales generated from the award of a large Javelin multi-year
          contract and several additions to other ongoing contracts during the
          first quarter of fiscal year 1998.



<PAGE>   12




          Net sales volume in the UK subsidiary also decreased for the six and
          three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the same
          periods ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in net sales in the UK
          is a result of reduced activity on its two major contracts as they are
          expected to be completed during fiscal year 1998. In addition, there
          have been no significant contract awards in the UK over the past
          fiscal year.

          Overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased marginally
          for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 versus the
          same periods ended December 31, 1996. While cost reduction initiatives
          continue, overhead levels have not decreased proportionate to the
          decrease in sales volume. Management anticipates that the award of the
          large Javelin multi-year contract, additions to several ongoing
          contracts, combined with further cost reduction initiatives, will
          result in improved results for the remainder of fiscal year 1998.

          Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily as a
          result of fees paid to international marketing representatives.

          Systems development expense increased for the six and three-month
          periods ended December 31, 1997 versus the corresponding periods in
          the prior fiscal year. The increase is the result of efforts in the
          domestic training division to develop and/or enhance technologies and
          processes in order to remain competitive in the industry.

          Interest expense decreased for the six and three-month periods ended
          December 31, 1997 versus the corresponding period in the previous
          fiscal year. The decrease is a result of the final payments totaling
          $2,250,000 on the Company's term loan during the first quarter of
          fiscal year 1998. In addition, proceeds from the sale of certain
          assets of the vending operation were used to pay down the revolving
          credit facility during the second quarter of fiscal year 1998. (See
          Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

          Discontinued Operations

          On November 25,1997 the Company completed the sale of the fixed
          assets, inventory and trade receivables of the Company's vending
          operation. Proceeds from the sale of the vending operation were used
          to reduce the Company's debt.

          Operating results have been segregated in the accompanying
          consolidated statements of operations. Net losses for the six and
          three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 were included as a
          component of discontinued operations in the Company's June 30, 1997
          consolidated financial statements. Discontinued operations at June 30,
          1997 included management's best estimates of the amounts expected to
          be realized on the sale of the vending operation, the costs directly
          associated with the disposal of the operation, as well as the
          operating losses expected to be incurred during the phase-out period.

          During the second quarter of fiscal year 1998, the Company recorded an
          additional provision for the estimated loss on disposal of
          discontinued operations of $370,000, after-tax. This change in the
          estimated loss resulted primarily from additional costs associated
          with the consummation of the sale of the fixed assets, inventory and
          trade receivables of the vending operation.

     c)   CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS.

          The following important factors, among others, could cause actual
          results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking
          statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and presented
          elsewhere by management from time to time. All forward-looking
          statements included in this document are based on information
          available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes
          no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

          A number of uncertainties exist that could affect the Company's future
          operating results, including, without limitation, general economic
          conditions, changes in government spending, cancellation of weapons
          programs, delays in contract awards, delays in the acceptance process
          of contract deliverables, the Company's continued ability to develop
          and introduce products, the introduction of new products by
          competitors, pricing practices of competitors, the cost and
          availability of parts and the Company's ability to control costs.

          To date, a substantial portion of the Company's revenues have been
          attributable to long-term contracts with various government agencies.
          As a result, any factor adversely affecting procurement of long-term
          government contracts could have a material adverse effect on the
          Company's financial condition and results of operations.

          Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should
          not be considered an indication of future performance. The Company's
          future quarterly operating results may vary significantly, depending
          on factors such as the timing of contract awards. Investors should not
          use historical trends to anticipate future results and should be aware
          that the trading price of the Company's Common Stock may be subject to
          wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating
          results and other factors, including those discussed above.

          The Company recognizes that it must ensure that its products and
          operations will not be adversely impacted by various so-called "Year
          2000" systems and software failures which can arise in certain
          date-sensitive functions. All of the Company's products are currently
          Year 2000 compliant, and therefore, the Company does not expect to
          undertake additional research and development efforts in this regard.
          In addition, the Company is in the process of identifying anticipated
          costs, problems and uncertainties associated with making its
          internal-use operating systems Year 2000 compliant. In general, the
          Company expects to resolve the Year 2000 issue with respect to its
          computer systems and software applications through upgrade,
          conversion, modification or replacement of non-compliant systems and
          applications. There can be no assurance, however, that the systems of
          other parties upon which the Company's business also relies will be
          Year 2000 compliant. The costs of becoming Year 2000 compliant, or the
          failure thereof by the Company or other parties, could have a material
          adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
          results of operations.

Dear Rell:

Reference is made to that certain:

Dear Rell:

Reference is made to that certain:

1. Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 20, 1994
(together with all amendments and modifications thereto), by and between ECC
International Corp. ("ECC"), and First Fidelity Bank, National Association, (the
"Bank", now named First Union National Bank) and all of the documents,
instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith (collectively, the
"ECC Loan Documents").

2. Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 20, 1994 (together with all
amendments and modifications thereto), by and between ECC Simulation Limited
("Simulation", and, together with ECC, the "Borrowers"), and the Bank and all of
the documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith
(collectively, the "Simulation Loan Documents" and, together with the ECC Loan
Documents, the "Loan Documents").

Terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Loan Documents.

The Borrowers have requested that the Bank agree to modify Section P.1 of the
Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement to substitute $3,000,000.00 for
$2,000,000.00 where it appears therein (representing the maximum amount ECC may
lend to Simulation) for the period from the date hereof through January 31, 1998
(the

"Temporary Modification") and the Bank has agreed to do so pursuant to the
terms hereof.

The Borrowers hereby affirm, as of the date hereof, the representations and
warranties set forth in the Loan Documents exactly as if they were made on and
as of the date hereof, except where disclosed to the Bank in writing prior to
the date hereof or where immaterial. The Borrowers represent and warrant that
there is no breach of any term, covenant or provision of the Loan Documents and
that no Event of Default or other event which, with the passage of time, the
giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. The Borrowers agree that the Loan Documents are binding and
enforceable against the Borrowers pursuant to the terms thereof and the
Borrowers have no defenses, set-offs, or counterclaims to their obligations
thereunder.

In reliance upon the Borrowers' reaffirmation and representations and warranties
stated above, the Bank agrees to the Temporary Modification.

All other terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents are hereby
reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall remain in full
force and effect. Nothing contained herein is intended to be or shall be
construed as a waiver of any default, Event of Default, or any of the Bank's
rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law, all of which
are expressly reserved and preserved.

Please acknowledge your receipt and acceptance of this letter by signing below
(and having the guarantors identified below also sign where indicated) and
returning a copy to the Bank. Upon the Bank's receipt of an executed copy of
this letter, this letter will become effective.

                                          Sincerely yours,
