                   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
June 29, 1997 and the results of  operations  for the three and six months ended
June 29,  1997 and June 30,  1996 and the cash  flows  for the six  months  then
ended.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 29, 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 and six months  ended June 29,  1997 and June 30, 1996
are approximately  equivalent to basic EPS and diluted EPS because the number of
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options is immaterial.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two new statements in June 1997.
SFAS  No.  130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,   establishes  standards  for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.  SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes
standards for the way that public business  enterprises  report  information and
operating  segments in annual  financial  statements  and requires  reporting of
selected information in interim financial reports. Both statements are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The required disclosures for
SFAS No. 130 will be included in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the first  quarter of 1998.  The required  disclosures  for SFAS No. 131 will be
included in the Company's 1998 annual report on Form 10-K.

                                   (Unaudited)

(2)  Asset Impairment Charge
- ----------------------------
As a result of IC Sensors'  inability to achieve the  improvements  specified in
its corrective action plan, including new product orders, improved manufacturing
yields, cost reductions,  and attraction and retention of critical personnel, it
continued  operating  at a loss  in  the  second  quarter,  which  triggered  an
impairment  review  of its  long-lived  assets.  A  revised  operating  plan was
developed to restructure and stabilize the business. The revised projections by
product line provided the basis for measurement of the asset impairment  charge.
The Company  calculated  the present value of expected cash flows of IC Sensors'
product  lines to determine  the fair value of the assets.  Accordingly,  in the
second quarter,  the Company  recorded an impairment  charge of $26.7 million in
the Optoelectronics  segment,  for a write-down of goodwill of $13.6 million and
fixed assets of $13.1 million.

In the  second  quarter  of 1997,  the  Company  also  recorded  a $1.5  million
impairment  charge  to write  off the  goodwill  of the  Environmental  Services
division in the Technical Services segment.

(3)  Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense), net, consisted of the following:

The decrease in property, plant and equipment resulted primarily from the effect
of translating  assets  denominated in non-U.S.  currencies at current  exchange
rates and from the write-down  associated  with the IC Sensors  division.  These
decreases were partially offset by capital expenditures.

At June 29, 1997, marketable investments,  all classified as available for sale,
had an aggregate  market  value of $11.5  million and gross  unrealized  holding
gains  of  $1.6  million.   The  net  unrealized   holding  gain  on  marketable
investments,  net  of  deferred  taxes,  reported  as a  separate  component  of
stockholders' equity, was $1.1 million at June 29, 1997. In the first six months
of 1997, proceeds from sales of  available-for-sale  securities were $1 million,
which approximated average cost.

(9)  Intangible Assets
- ----------------------
The  decrease in  intangible  assets  resulted  primarily  from the  write-downs
associated  with the IC  Sensors  and  Environmental  Services  divisions,  from
current  year   amortization  and  from  the  effect  of  translating   goodwill
denominated in non-U.S. currencies at current exchange rates.

(1)  The operating  income (loss) from  continuing  operations for the three and
     six months ended June 29, 1997 included an asset impairment charge of $28.2
     million. The impact of this charge was $26.7 million on the Optoelectronics
     segment and $1.5 million on the Technical Services segment.

The  discussion  that  follows  is a summary  analysis  of the major  changes in
operating results by industry segment that occurred for the three and six months
ended June 29, 1997 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.

Overview
- --------
Sales from  continuing  operations  increased 4% for the second  quarter of 1997
compared to 1996, while sales for the six months increased 2%. The quarter sales
increase  reflects  increases of 12% in Technical  Services and 7% in Mechanical
Components  partially  offset  by a  6%  decrease  in  the  Optoelectronics  and
Instruments  segments.  Operating  results  for 1997  included  a $28.2  million
non-cash  asset  impairment  charge,  primarily  associated  with the IC Sensors
business.  The after-tax effect of this charge was $23.5 million ($0.51 loss per
share).  Excluding the asset  impairment  charge,  second quarter and six months
operating income was $18 million and $34.5 million, respectively, a 16% decrease
for both periods from last year.

                           EG&G, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)


In 1996, the Company  announced a realignment of its operating  organization  to
continue to position the Company for  sustained  long-term  growth.  The overall
goal of the  effort is to  provide  greater  focus on the  end-use  customer  by
consolidating   and   integrating    divisions   around   common   technologies,
manufacturing  processes and markets. This realignment also includes the planned
divestiture  of businesses  deemed not essential to its future,  and the Company
expects to realize  material gain on the  dispositions.  The 1997 second quarter
results  included  $1.2 million of planned  integration  costs and no gains from
asset dispositions. The 1997 year-to-date income included a planned $1.6 million
gain  on the  divestiture  of  assets  associated  with a  non-core  Instruments
business,  offset by planned  integration  costs of $2.3 million incurred by the
three products  segments in connection with the  consolidation  initiative.  The
Company will  continue to incur  integration  costs as it moves forward with the
consolidation initiative.

Instruments
- -----------
Second Quarter
- --------------
Instruments   sales  decreased  $6.4  million  mainly  due  to  the  effects  of
translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, lower orders in
1997 to equip U.S. government facilities with explosives-detection  systems, and
the  divestiture  of a non-core  business in early 1997.  These  decreases  were
partially  offset by the sales  increase  resulting from  introduction  of a new
medical research instrument and sales of consumables related to the placement of
an increasing  number of diagnostic  instruments.  Income decreased $3.7 million
mainly from lower sales and the absence in 1997 of income from the expiration of
a grant liability.  
Six Months
- ----------
Instruments  sales decreased $8.3 million mainly
due to the effects of translation as a result of the  strengthening  of the U.S.
dollar,  lower  shipments  of nuclear and research  instruments  caused by lower
government funding and delays in product  improvement,  and the divestiture of a
non-core business.  These decreases were partially offset by increases in demand
for  medical  research  and  diagnostics   instruments   mainly  caused  by  the
introduction  of a new product and  consumables  related to the  placement of an
increasing  number of  diagnostic  instruments.  Income  decreased  $4.4 million
mainly from lower sales, price reductions due to competitive pressures,  royalty
payments  and the  absence  in 1997 of  income  from the  expiration  of a grant
liability. 1997 results reflect a $1.6 million asset divestiture gain, partially
offset by $0.7 million of  integration  costs  incurred as part of the Company's
consolidation initiative.

Mechanical Components
- ---------------------
Second Quarter
- --------------
Sales grew 7% due to higher  demand for  aerospace  products  as a result of the
continuing strength in that market.  Income decreased $0.9 million as the margin
on the increased sales was more than offset by integration costs incurred in the
aerospace  business  as  part of the  Company's  consolidation  initiative,  and
unplanned  warranty  costs  related  to the  sale of  components  to the  ground
transportation industry. 
Six Months 
- ---------- 
Sales grew 6% primarily due to higher demand
for aerospace  products.  Income  decreased $0.5 million as the income earned on
the increased sales was more than offset by integration  and unplanned  warranty
costs.  The  Company  plans to sell its Rotron  division  as part of its ongoing
program to divest businesses deemed not essential to its future. The divestiture
is  expected to occur in late 1997 or early  1998,  and the  Company  expects to
realize a gain on disposition. Rotron's 1996 annual sales were approximately $64
million.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)


Optoelectronics
- ---------------
Second Quarter
- --------------
Sales  decreased  $2.4  million,  reflecting  shifts  in  demand  to  lower-cost
competitors'  accelerometers  in the  automotive  market and lower  sales due to
contamination and start-up  production  problems at another operation.  The 1997
segment  operating loss of $25.3 million includes a $26.7 million non-cash asset
impairment charge related to goodwill and fixed assets for IC Sensors. Excluding
the asset impairment charge, operating income improved $0.5 million in 1997. The
1997 operating results include $2.3 million of planned development costs for the
amorphous silicon project and for the advanced  micromachined sensors technology
platform.  
Six Months
- ----------
Sales for the six months  decreased  $9.2  million due to
shifts in demand to lower cost  competitors'  accelerometers  in the  automotive
market,  lower sales due to contamination and start-up  production  problems and
the  completion a power supplies  contract in 1996. The $30 million  decrease in
income resulted from the asset impairment charge of $26.7 million. Excluding the
impairment charge,  operating income decreased $3.3 million as a result of lower
sales,  higher operating losses at IC Sensors and higher  development  costs for
the advanced micromachined sensors technology platform and other operations.  
IC Sensors Asset Impairment Charge 
- ---------------------------------- 
As a result of IC Sensors'  inability to achieve the  improvements  specified in
its corrective action plan, including new product orders, improved manufacturing
yields, cost reductions,  and attraction and retention of critical personnel, it
continued  operating  at a loss  in  the  second  quarter,  which  triggered  an
impairment  review  of its  long-lived  assets.  A  revised  operating  plan was
developed to restructure and stabilize the business.  The revised projections by
product line provided the basis for measurement of the asset impairment  charge.
Accordingly,  the Company recorded an impairment  charge of $26.7 million in the
second  quarter,  for a write-down of goodwill of $13.6 million and fixed assets
of $13.1 million. The after-tax effect of this charge was $22 million ($.48 loss
per share).  The impairment charge reduces future  depreciation and amortization
by approximately $3 million annually.

Technical Services
- ------------------
Second Quarter
- --------------
Sales increased 12% as a result of follow-on  shipments under a contract for the
development and installation of communication systems, additional billings under
a government  contract,  higher  lubricant  testing levels and the start-up of a
light-truck  structural  testing  facility,  which is  booked  at full  capacity
through the first quarter of 1998. The $0.8 million  operating  income  decrease
was mainly the result of the $1.5 million  write-off of goodwill  related to the
environmental  operation as a result of its  continuing  losses.  Excluding  the
write-off,  operating  income  increased  $0.7 million  primarily as a result of
increased  sales. 
Six Months
- ----------
Sales increased 8% primarily from shipments under a
contract  for  communication  systems,  additional  billings  under a government
contract, increased lubricant testing demand and the 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  resulted  mainly from the  goodwill
write-down of $1.5 million.  Excluding the impairment  charge,  operating income
increased $0.6 million primarily due to higher sales levels.  Future performance
could be  impacted  by the recent  announcement  that NASA and the Air Force are
seeking approval from their respective headquarters to consolidate and recompete
base  operations  contracts at the Kennedy  Space  Center,  Cape  Canaveral  Air
Station  and  certain  functions  at  Patrick  Air  Force  Base in an  effort to
eliminate  duplication and reduce costs. If approved, it is anticipated that any
resultant  contract would be effective October 1, 1998, and the Company plans to
participate in the recompetition.  The NASA contract contributed annual sales of
$172 million in 1996.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)


General Corporate Expenses
- --------------------------
Expenses were flat for the quarter and decreased $0.7 million for the six months
due to lower management incentive accruals.

Other
- -----
Other expense  increased a net $1.6 million for the second quarter mainly due to
lower  investment  gains and  equity  income.  The six month  increase  in other
expense  of  $1.7  million  was  mainly  due to  lower  interest  income,  lower
investment  gains and lower equity  income  partially  offset by lower  interest
expense.  The  1997 tax  provision  for the  second  quarter  was  significantly
impacted  by the  non-deductible  goodwill  write-downs  of IC  Sensors  and the
Environmental  Services division.  The six month tax provision was also impacted
by the goodwill write-downs. Excluding the impairment charge and its related tax
benefit,  the effective tax rate for the second quarter and year-to-date was 34%
as planned.

Discontinued Operations
- -----------------------
The Mound contract,  the Company's remaining  management and operations contract
with the DOE, expires on September 30, 1997.


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

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $15.7 million in the first six
months of 1997 while commercial paper borrowings increased $49.9 million, mainly
due to capital expenditures, stock purchases and cash dividends partially offset
by cash flow from continuing  operations.  Net cash provided from operations was
$15.8  million in the first six months of 1997 compared to $6.5 million in 1996.
Capital  expenditures  were $26.4  million in 1997, a decrease of $19.4  million
from the same  period in 1996 due to  reduced  spending  in the  Optoelectronics
segment and the automotive  portion of the Technical  Services segment.  Capital
expenditures for 1997 are expected to exceed $60 million and support new product
initiatives primarily in the Optoelectronics segment.

During the first six months of 1997, the Company purchased 832,000 shares of its
common stock  through  periodic  purchases on the open market at a cost of $17.4
million under an existing  stock  repurchase  program.  As of June 29, 1997, the
Company had  authorization to purchase 3.3 million  additional  shares under the
program and,  subject to operational cash flows,  cash utilization  alternatives
and market conditions, plans to maintain the 1996 level of 1.6 million shares to
be 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 six months of 1997.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)


                      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.  Improved operational
efficiency will be required to offset  increasing  price pressure in most of the
Company's product offerings.  Other factors affecting future performance include
lower sales and earnings caused by future  divestitures,  warranty costs and the
ability to operate with reducing backlogs  resulting from shorter customer order
cycles,  to resolve  pricing  issues with selected  customers and to attract and
retain  key  personnel  in  a  number  of  areas.  The  future  results  of  the
Optoelectronics  segment are  dependent  on  management's  ability to restore IC
Sensors  to  profitability,   the  successful   introduction  of  new  products,
improvement  in  manufacturing  yields and  implementation  of cost  reductions,
including  the  successful   transfer  of  assembly   activities  to  lower-cost
geographic locations.

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.  NASA and
the Air Force  are  seeking  approval  from  their  respective  headquarters  to
consolidate and recompete base operations contracts at the Kennedy Space Center,
Cape Canaveral Air Station and certain functions at Patrick Air Force Base in an
effort to eliminate duplication and reduce costs. If approved, it is anticipated
that any resultant  contract would be effective October 1, 1998, and the Company
plans to participate in the recompetition.

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.
