ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Period Ended March 31, 1995

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased $14.2 million, or 10%
compared to the same period last year.  On a year-to-date basis, net sales
increased $35.0 million, a 13% increase over the first six months of fiscal year
1994.  Fiscal year 1994 results included sales from the company's major cellular
project in  Argentina, which totaled $31.9 million for the first six months of
the year and $24.5 million for the quarter.  While the worldwide wireless
communications market fueled most of the current year sales growth, the company
also saw strengthening in both the U.S. and international terrestrial microwave
and television broadcast markets. The commercial segment remained the strongest
performer due to worldwide deregulation of communications markets, equipment
upgrading by television stations, and international wireless television growth.
The growth in the commercial segment was partially offset by weaknesses in the
network products segment.  The government electronics business sales remained
consistent with last year's results.

Total backlog has grown substantially since the 1994 fiscal year end.  Total
backlog has increased $72 million to $157 million, while backlog over 12 months
has increased $19 million to $20 million during the first six months of fiscal
year 1995.  These increases are attributable to the company's major distributed
communications projects with MFS Technologies and the Hong Kong Metro, which
total $60 million in year-to-date orders.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales decreased to 59.4%, down from
62.9% for the prior year quarter.  For the first six months, cost of products
sold was 59.1% of sales compared to 61.5% in the same period last year.  The
margin improvement for the quarter and for the first six months reflects the
increased demand for the company's higher margin products, particularly those of
the commercial segment, increased manufacturing productivity, and lower than
average margins on the Argentina project in the prior year.

As a percentage of revenue, sales and administrative expenses for both the
quarter and for the first six months remained relatively unchanged compared with
the same period in fiscal year 1994.  The dollar increase in selling and
administrative expenses was driven by business volume related costs in the
commercial segment, such as selling expenses, administrative staffing, and
operating performance based compensation costs.  Research and development
expenses for the quarter decreased $.5 million compared to the prior year's
quarter.  For the first six months of fiscal year 1995, research and development
expenses decreased $1.5 million or 11% compared to the same period last year.
Both decreases resulted from cost control efforts and from Network Products
narrowing its focus to local area network (LAN) products.

Other expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased $1.3 million
compared with the second quarter of fiscal year 1994. Foreign exchange losses of
$.6 million, and the company's share of its Russian joint venture losses drove
this increase.  For the year, other expense totaled $2.4 million, an increase of
$2.1  million over the first six months of fiscal year 1994.  This increase was
primarily the result of foreign exchange losses increasing $1.1 million compared
to last year, and the company's share of its Russian joint venture losses, which
increased $1.0 million.
<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating cash flow derived from increased fiscal year 1995 earnings was
partially offset by higher inventory investments, particularly in the 
distributed communications, concrete shelter, and wireless telephone products
businesses.

Capital expenditure growth resulted from manufacturing expansion and equipment
upgrades.  The company has also made significant investments in state-of-the-art
business information systems hardware and software.  Compared to the prior year,
the company's rate of investment in affiliates has decreased, due principally to
the completion of basic system construction for three Russian fiber optic joint
ventures in fiscal year 1994.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, the company financed its new
concrete shelter facility in Newnan, Georgia by issuing an Industrial
Development Revenue Bond for $3.8 million.
