                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)
                                   -----------


(1)  Basis of Presentation
- --------------------------
The consolidated  financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company,  without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission.  It is  suggested  that these  consolidated  financial
statements be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. The balance
sheet  amounts as of December  29, 1996 in this report were  extracted  from the
Company's audited 1996 financial statements included in the latest annual report
on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial
statements  included herein contain all  adjustments,  consisting only of normal
recurring  accruals,  necessary to present  fairly the financial  position as of
March 30, 1997 and the results of  operations  for the three  months ended March
30, 1997 and March 31, 1996 and the cash flows for the three  months then ended.
The  results of  operations  for the three  months  ended March 30, 1997 are not
necessarily to be considered indicative of the results for the entire year.

In the  fourth  quarter  of 1997,  the  Company  will  adopt the  provisions  of
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings  Per
Share",  which is effective for financial  statements  for periods  ending after
December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires  replacement  of primary  earnings per
share (EPS) with basic EPS,  which is computed by dividing  income  available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted  EPS,  which  gives  effect  to all  dilutive  potential  common  shares
outstanding,  is also  required.  All  prior-period  EPS data  presented will be
restated.  The EPS amounts  shown on the  Company's  consolidated  statement  of
operations  for the three months ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996 are the
equivalents  of basic EPS and diluted EPS because the number of shares  issuable
upon the exercise of stock options is immaterial.

At March 30, 1997, marketable investments, all classified as available for sale,
had an aggregate  market  value of $12.7  million and gross  unrealized  holding
gains  of  $1.9  million.   The  net  unrealized   holding  gain  on  marketable
investments,  net  of  deferred  taxes,  reported  as a  separate  component  of
stockholders' equity, was $1.3 million at March 30, 1997.

(8)  Intangible Assets
- ----------------------
The  decrease  in  intangible  assets  resulted  primarily  from the  effect  of
translating  goodwill  denominated  in non-U.S.  currencies at current  exchange
rates and from current year amortization.

The  discussion  that  follows  is a summary  analysis  of the major  changes in
operating  results by industry  segment that occurred for the three months ended
March 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996.

                                     
Overview
- --------
Sales from continuing operations in the first quarter of 1997 were approximately
the  same as in the  first  quarter  of 1996,  reflecting  growth  in  Technical
Services sales and a decrease in product sales.  Operating  income decreased 17%
mainly as a result of the decreases in the  Optoelectronics  segment.  The first
quarter's  income  included a planned $1.6 million gain on the  divestiture of a
non-core Instruments business,  offset partially by planned integration costs of
$1.1  million  incurred by the three  product  segments in  connection  with the
consolidation initiative announced in the third quarter of 1996. The Company has
divested and  continues to consider  divesting  businesses  not essential to its
future,  which could  result in material  nonrecurring  gains.  The Company will
continue to incur  integration  costs as it moves forward with the consolidation
initiative.

Instruments
- -----------
Sales  decreased  $1.9  million from last year.  Sales  increased as a result of
introduction of a new medical  research  instrument and higher sales of advanced
and conventional  explosives-detection  systems.  These increases were offset by
lower sales resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates, the divestiture of
a non-core  business in early 1997 and lower demand for nuclear,  industrial and
research  instruments  mainly  in  Germany.  The $0.7  million  income  decrease
resulted mainly from lower sales, price reductions due to competitive  pressures
and royalty payments associated with a 1996 settlement  agreement resulting from
patent litigation concerning the explosives-detection systems business. The 1997
results reflect the $1.6 million gain on the divestiture of a non-core business,
partially  offset by $0.6 million of  integration  costs incurred as part of the
Company's  consolidation  initiative.  During the quarter, the Company signed an
exclusive license agreement to manufacture a high throughput bulk-cargo security
scanning device, which management believes positions the Instruments segment for
quick entry into this growing market.

Mechanical Components
- ---------------------
The 5% sales growth was due to higher demand for aerospace  products as a result
of the continuing  resurgence of the aerospace market. The margin on these sales
was the main  contributor  to the income  increase but was  partially  offset by
continuing cost overruns on two development programs.

Optoelectronics
- ---------------
The $6.8 million sales  decrease was caused by a number of  operational  issues,
including product  contamination  and slow  introduction of new products,  lower
demand for power supply, medical and analytical products and shifts in demand to
new  lower-cost  accelerometers  in  the  automotive  market.  Operating  income
decreased  $3.8 million as a result of the sales  decreases  and the  continuing
significant  operational problems at IC Sensors, which continues to operate at a
loss.  This  operation is failing to achieve the  improvements  specified in the
1996 corrective action plan due to its inability to generate new product orders,
improve manufacturing  yields,  implement cost reductions and attract and retain
critical  personnel.  Management is developing a revised  corrective action plan
for this  business  and is  assessing  its future  contribution  to the  overall
micromachined  sensors strategy.  As a matter of policy,  management conducts an
evaluation of the recoverability of an operation's  assets,  including goodwill,
whenever an operation is performing  substantially below expectations.  Based on
the  development  and  progress  on the revised  corrective  action plan and the
results of the  strategic  assessment,  this  review will be  performed  for the
micromachined   sensors   business.   The   1997   operating   results   of  the
Optoelectronics  segment include $2.1 million of planned  development  costs for
the amorphous silicon project and components for the next micromachined  sensors
technology  platform.  This represents an increase of $0.6 million over the 1996
expenditures.

Technical Services
- ------------------
The 4% sales  increase  resulted from follow-on  shipments  under a contract for
communication  systems  development,  cost increases under a government contract
and start-up of the light-truck testing facility. These increases were partially
offset by decreases  due to the  completion of a lubricant  testing  contract in
1996 and lower demand for sedan  testing.  The  operating  income  reduction was
mainly the result of the completion of a lubricant testing  contract,  partially
offset by the income earned on the higher sales level.

General Corporate Expenses
- --------------------------
The $0.9  million  decrease  was  primarily  due to lower  management  incentive
accruals.
                                      - 9 -

Discontinued Operations
- -----------------------
The Mound contract,  the Company's remaining  management and operations contract
with the DOE, is  scheduled  to expire on June 30, 1997 and could be extended by
the  DOE  for  up to  an  additional  three  months  under  existing  terms  and
conditions.  Sales and income from the Mound  contract  are  dependent  upon the
negotiated work scope and fee pools.


                               Financial Condition
                               -------------------

The  Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  decreased  $5.5 million in the first
quarter of 1997 while commercial paper borrowings increased $19 million,  mainly
due to the level of capital expenditures. Net cash used in continuing operations
was $1.8 million in 1997  compared to $4.5  million  used in 1996.  In the first
quarter of 1997,  receivables decreased due to lower product sales, and payables
declined due to the timing of payments.  Capital expenditures were $14.1 million
in the first  quarter of 1997, a decrease of $12.9  million from the same period
in 1996.  Capital  expenditures  for 1997 are expected to be  approximately  $80
million.   These  expenditures  support  new  product  development   initiatives
primarily in the Optoelectronics segment.

During the first quarter of 1997,  the Company  purchased  530,000 shares of its
common stock  through  periodic  purchases on the open market at a cost of $11.6
million.  As of March 30, 1997, the Company had  authorization  to purchases 3.6
million   additional  shares  and,  subject  to  operational  cash  flows,  cash
utilization alternatives and market conditions, plans to maintain the 1996 level
of 1.6 million shares purchased annually.

The Company has two revolving credit  agreements  totaling $200 million.  During
the first quarter of 1997, the 364-day  facility was extended to March 1998, and
the five-year facility was extended to March 2002. The Company did not draw down
either of these credit facilities during the first quarter of 1997.


                           Forward-Looking Information
                           ---------------------------

All  statements  contained  herein  that refer to a time after  March 30,  1997,
including the words expect,  believe and plan, or statements referring to goals,
the  future  or  future  actions,   continuing  actions,   trends,   strategies,
initiatives,  challenges  or  opportunities  or which  otherwise  are not purely
historical  are  forward-looking  statements  within the  meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties. It
is important to note that actual results could differ  materially  from those in
the forward-looking statements.


                      Factors Affecting Future Performance
                      ------------------------------------

Future  performance  of the  Company's  three  product  segments  will be highly
dependent  on the  technological  success,  market  acceptance  and  competitive
position of new program initiatives, including the amorphous silicon project and
the advanced  micromachined  sensors technology  platform.  Continued success in
improving  operational  efficiency will be required to offset  increasing  price
pressure in most of the Company's  product  offerings.  Other factors  affecting
future performance  include the ability to operate with reducing backlogs due to
shorter  customer order cycles,  resolve pricing issues with selected  customers
and attract and retain key  personnel  in a number of areas.  The results of the
Optoelectronics  segment are  dependent  on  management's  ability to restore IC
Sensors to profitability, requiring introduction of new products, improvement in
manufacturing yields and implementation of cost reductions.

In the  Technical  Services  segment,  future  performance  will  continue to be
impacted by a highly competitive procurement environment,  continuing changes in
federal budget priorities and rapidly changing customer  requirements.  The NASA
contract expires on October 31, 1997 and has three 2-year renewal options at the
discretion of the government.  While it is possible that the Company's  contract
could be absorbed by the single Space  Flight  Operations  contract,  management
believes that the contract will be renewed by NASA.

Movements in foreign  exchange rates could affect operating  results.  Effective
tax  rates in the  future  could be  affected  by  changes  in the  geographical
distribution  of  income,  utilization  of net  operating  loss  carry-forwards,
repatriation costs and resolution of outstanding tax audit issues.
