                   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  28, 1997 in this report were  extracted  from the
Company's audited 1997 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 28, 1998, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June
28, 1998 and June 29,  1997 and cash flows for the six months  then  ended.  The
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  The
results of operations for the six months ended June 28, 1998 are not necessarily
to be considered indicative of the results for the entire year.

The  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information,  in June 1997. The statement  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.  The required disclosures for SFAS No.
131, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, will
be included in the Company's 1998 annual report on Form 10-K.

The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 133,  Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities,  in June 1998. The new statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999; earlier adoption is
allowed.  The statement  requires companies to record derivatives on the balance
sheet as  assets  or  liabilities,  measured  at fair  value.  Gains  or  losses
resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for
depending  on the use of the  derivative  and  whether  it  qualifies  for hedge
accounting.  The Company has not yet determined the effect that adoption of SFAS
No.  133 will have or when the  provisions  of the  statement  will be  adopted.
However,  the  Company  currently  expects  that,  due  to  its  limited  use of
derivative  instruments,  the  adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

(2)  Restructuring Charges
- --------------------------
During the second quarter of 1998,  management expanded the continuing effort to
restructure certain businesses to further improve the Company's performance. The
plan resulted in pre-tax  restructuring  charges of $23.1 million. The principal
actions in the  restructuring  plan include the integration of current operating
divisions into five strategic  business units,  close-down or consolidation of a
number of production  facilities and general cost reductions.  The restructuring
plan is expected to result in the  elimination of  approximately  300 positions.
The major components of the  restructuring  charges were $12 million of employee
separation  costs,  $6 million of noncash  charges to dispose of certain  assets
through sale or  abandonment  and $5 million of charges to  terminate  lease and
other   contractual   obligations  no  longer   required  as  a  result  of  the
restructuring plan.

During the first six months of 1998,  management  developed plans to restructure
certain businesses to improve the Company's  performance.  The plans resulted in
pre-tax  restructuring  charges of $54.5  million,  of which  $31.4  million was
recorded  in the first  quarter  and $23.1  million  was  recorded in the second
quarter.  The principal actions in the restructuring plans include close-down or
consolidation  of a number of  offices  and  facilities,  integration  into five
strategic  business  units,   transfer  of  assembly  activities  to  lower-cost
geographic locations, disposal of under-utilized assets, withdrawal from certain
product lines and general cost reductions.  The restructuring plans are expected
to  result  in  the  elimination  of  approximately  900  positions.  The  major
components of the restructuring  charges were $33 million of employee separation
costs,  $12 million of noncash  charges to dispose of certain  product lines and
assets through sale or abandonment and

                                   -----------

$10 million of charges to terminate lease and other  contractual  obligations no
longer  required  as a result of the  restructuring  plans.  The  charges do not
include  additional  costs  associated  with the  restructuring  plans,  such as
training,  consulting,  purchase of equipment  and  relocation  of employees and
equipment.  These  costs  will be  charged  to  operations  or  capitalized,  as
appropriate, when incurred.

(3) Asset Impairment Charge
- ---------------------------
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company  recorded a $7.4 million  noncash
impairment charge related to an automotive  testing facility that is part of the
Technical  Services  segment.  The impairment charge applied to fixed assets and
resulted from projected changes in the principal customer's demand for services.
The Company  calculated  the present value of expected cash flows of the testing
facility to determine the fair value of the assets.

During the second  quarter of 1997,  the Company  recorded a noncash  impairment
charge of $28.2  million,  with $26.7  million  related  to IC Sensors  and $1.5
million  related to the goodwill of an  environmental  services  business.  As a
result of IC Sensors'  inability  to achieve the  improvements  specified in its
corrective  action plan, it continued  operating at a loss in the second quarter
of 1997,  triggering 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 of 1997,  the Company  recorded an
impairment  charge of $26.7  million,  for a  write-down  of  goodwill  of $13.6
million and fixed assets of $13.1 million.

(4) Gains on Dispositions
- -------------------------
In early January 1998, the Company sold its Rotron division to Ametek,  Inc. for
$103 million in cash,  resulting in a pre-tax gain of $64.4 million.  During the
first quarter of 1998, the Company also sold a small product line for $4 million
in cash,  resulting in a pre-tax gain of $3.1  million.  The  after-tax  gain on
these divestitures was $45.2 million, or $1.00 basic earnings per share. Rotron,
which  manufactures  fans, blowers and motors, had 1997 sales of $70 million and
operating income of $11.9 million ($.16 earnings per share).

In early April 1998,  the Company sold its Sealol  Industrial  Seals division to
the TI Group plc for cash of $100 million,  resulting in a pre-tax gain of $58.3
million. The after-tax gain on this divestiture was $42.6 million, or $.93 basic
earnings per share.  Sealol  Industrial  Seals,  which  manufactures  mechanical
seals, had 1997 sales of $88 million and operating income of $11.4 million ($.21
earnings per share).

In  connection  with the above  transaction,  the Company  purchased  the Belfab
division  of John Crane Inc.,  a unit of the TI Group,  for $45 million in cash.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase  method.  While the Company
has not yet finalized the purchase price allocation, the excess of the cost over
the fair market value of the net assets acquired is estimated to be $32 million,
which is being  amortized over 20 years using a straight-line  method.  Belfab's
results of operations,  which were included in the  consolidated  results of the
Company from the date of the  acquisition,  are not material to the consolidated
results of operations.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

Overview
The Company is  continuing  the  realignment  of its operating  organization  to
position the Company for sustained  long-term growth.  The realignment  included
the  divestiture  of businesses  that serve markets which do not meet our growth
criteria or strategic direction. The Company entered 1998 with fifteen operating
divisions. The Company divested the Rotron division in the first quarter of 1998
and the Sealol  Industrial  Seals  division in the second  quarter of 1998.  The
Company  intends to use the  proceeds  from recent  divestitures  to  accelerate
certain consolidation programs and to invest in acquisitions in strategic growth
areas. The remaining businesses are being organized into five strategic business
units.  The Company is  emphasizing  its ongoing  program to reduce costs and to
improve its overall operating  processes.  As part of this program,  the Company
has taken restructuring charges in the first and second quarters of 1998.

Reported sales from continuing  operations decreased 3% in the second quarter of
1998 compared to 1997, while base operations sales (which exclude the results of
operations  divested in 1997 and 1998)  increased  10% to $356.3  million in the
second quarter of 1998. Reported operating income from continuing operations was
$45.8 million in the second quarter of 1998 and included net nonrecurring income
of $24.8 million or $.41 basic earnings per share (see detailed schedule below).
The  reported  operating  loss of  $10.2  million  in  1997  included  an  asset
impairment  charge  of $28.2  million.  The  after-tax  charge in 1997 was $23.5
million ($.51 basic earnings per share).  Base operating  income (which excludes
nonrecurring items and results of divested  operations) was $21 million compared
to $12.5  million in 1997 for an increase  of 67%.  All four  industry  segments
contributed to the increase in base operations sales and income.

Reported sales from continuing operations decreased slightly in 1998 compared to
1997,  reflecting the lost sales of divested  operations,  while base operations
sales increased 10%.  Reported  operating income from continuing  operations was
$100.7 million in 1998 and included net nonrecurring  income of $60.9 million or
$.92 basic earnings per share (see detailed  schedule below).  The 1997 reported
operating income of $6.3 million  included an asset  impairment  charge of $28.2
million.  The after-tax  impairment charge in 1997 was $23.5 million ($.51 basic
earnings per share).  Base operating income,  excluding the nonrecurring  items,
increased  61% to $39.8  million from $24.7  million in 1997.  All four segments
contributed to the increase in base operations sales and income.

</TABLE>

Reported sales increased 10% while base operations  sales (which exclude results
of divested operations)  increased 14%. All operations  contributed to the sales
increase,  with the  majority  of the  increase  due to higher  sales of medical
diagnostics  products.  Also  contributing was the Isolab  acquisition which was
concluded late in the first quarter of 1998.  Reported  operating income of $2.2
million included  restructuring  charges of $5.4 million. The restructuring plan
is  expected to result in  annualized  cost  reductions  of  approximately  $3.8
million in the year 2000.  Base operating  income (which  excludes  nonrecurring
items and results of divested operations)  increased 37% as the income earned on
the higher  sales level and  favorable  product mix in medical  diagnostics  was
partially   offset  by  price   reductions  due  to  competitive   pressures  on
conventional explosives-detection systems.

Reported sales increased 9% from last year and base  operations  sales increased
13% with all operations  contributing to this increase.  Higher sales of medical
diagnostic products and the Isolab acquisition were the main contributors to the
increase.  The  six-month  restructuring  charges  were $12.5  million,  and the
restructuring  plans are expected to result in  annualized  cost  reductions  of
approximately  $6.7 million in the year 2000.  Base  operating  income was $13.4
million,  an increase of $3.2 million (31%) over the comparable  period in 1997.
This increase was due to the income  earned on the higher sales level  partially
offset by price reductions due to competitive pressures.

Reported sales  decreased  compared to last year due to the absence of the sales
of the divested divisions. Base operations sales increased 37% to $44 million in
1998.  The main  contributor to the increase was the Belfab  acquisition,  which
closed early in the second  quarter.  The remainder was due to higher demand for
aerospace products,  reflecting second quarter strength in that market. Reported
operating  income  was  $61.9  million  in  1998  and  included  a  gain  on the
divestiture  of the  Sealol  Industrial  Seals  division  of $58.3  million  and
restructuring charges of $1.4 million. Base operating income increased 135% as a
result  of  higher  sales  in  the  aerospace  business  and  cost  productivity
improvements.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

Compared to last year,  reported  sales  decreased due to the absence in 1998 of
the sales of the divested divisions.  Base operations sales increased 21% due to
higher  demand  for  aerospace  products  and,  to a lesser  extent,  the Belfab
acquisition.  Reported operating income of $127.4 million in 1998 included gains
on  divestitures  of $125.8 million and  restructuring  charges of $9.9 million.
Base  operating  income  increased 70% due mainly to income earned on the higher
sales level and cost productivity improvements.

The Company sold the Rotron division in January 1998 for $103 million.  In April
1998, the Company sold the Sealol Industrial Seals division to TI Group, plc for
$100 million, while simultaneously purchasing TI Group's Belfab division for $45
million. Belfab's 1997 annual sales were $30 million. The Company realized gains
of $125.8 million on dispositions.

</TABLE>

Reported  sales  grew  5% to  $68.9  million  due to  increases  in  the  custom
optoelectronic components and imaging businesses. The reported operating loss in
1998  included  restructuring  charges  of $11.7  million,  while  the 1997 loss
included  a  noncash  asset  impairment  charge  of $26.7  million.  When  fully
implemented,  the  restructuring  plan is expected to result in annualized  cost
reductions of $6 million in the year 2000.  Excluding the nonrecurring  charges,
base  operating  income  increased  $4.9  million  mainly  as the  result of the
Company's  success in operating IC Sensors at  break-even  compared to a loss in
1997. Contributing to a lesser extent was the income on the higher sales levels.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company spent $1 million on the amorphous
silicon  development  project  and $1.2  million on the  advanced  micromachined
sensor development project, the same spending levels as 1997.

</TABLE>

Reported  sales  for the six  months  increased  6% to  $132.6  million  in 1998
compared  to 1997.  The  increase  resulted  from  higher  sales  in the  custom
optoelectronic  components,  imaging and  thermopile  businesses.  The  reported
operating loss in 1998 included restructuring charges of $20.3 million while the
1997 reported loss included a noncash asset impairment  charge of $26.7 million.
When fully implemented in the year 2000, the restructuring plans are expected to
result in annualized  cost reductions of $9 million.  Base operating  income was
$8.6 million in 1998, an increase of $6.9 million (405%).  The increase resulted
from the  Company's  success in  operating IC Sensors at a lower loss and income
earned  on  higher  sales.  The  1998  cost of the  development  effort  for the
amorphous silicon project was $2.5 million, while the development effort for the
advanced  micromachined sensor project was $2.4 million, which are approximately
the same levels as 1997.

Reported  sales  increased 5% to $163.9  million  compared with 1997 levels as a
result of the new Defense  Logistics  Agency contract and billings under the new
attack submarine contract for the Navy. These increases were partially offset by
the effect of a communication  systems development contract which concluded last
year.  1998 reported  operating  income  included $3.7 million of  restructuring
charges and a noncash  asset  impairment  charge of $7.4 million  related to the
automotive testing business. The 1997 results included a $1.5 million impairment
charge related to an environmental services business. Excluding the nonrecurring
charges,  base  operating  income  increased 16% to $11.4 million  compared with
1997.  This  increase  was due to income  earned on the higher  sales  partially
offset by a decrease in the automotive testing business.

</TABLE>

Reported  sales were  $319.5  million in 1998,  an  increase of 6% over the 1997
level.  The main  contributors  to the increase  were the new Defense  Logistics
Agency contract,  billings under the new attack submarine  contract for the Navy
and higher automotive  testing sales.  Partially  offsetting these increases was
the effect of a communication  systems development contract which concluded last
year.  Reported operating income for 1998 included $7.9 million of restructuring
charges and a noncash  asset  impairment  charge of $7.4 million  related to the
automotive  testing  business,  while  1997  results  included  a  $1.5  million
impairment   charge  related  to  an  environmental   services   business.   The
restructuring  plan is expected to result in  annualized  cost  reductions of $3
million,  which  will  be  fully  realized  in  the  year  2000.  Excluding  the
nonrecurring charges, base operating income increased 30% to $23.6 million. This
increase  resulted  from the  higher  sales  level  and  improved  grades on the
chemical weapons  disposal  contract and the 1997 close-down of an environmental
services business which incurred a loss last year.  Future  performance could be
affected by the NASA and Air Force  decision to  consolidate  and  recompete the
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.  It is anticipated  that the resultant
contract  will be  awarded  during the third  quarter  of 1998 and be  effective
October 1, 1998. The Company is participating in the  recompetition  for the new
contract as part of a joint venture.

1998 reported expenses included a charitable  contribution of $3 million,  which
is classified as selling, general and administrative expenses, and restructuring
charges of $0.9 million.  Excluding the nonrecurring charges, corporate expenses
increased $2.9 million as a result of management  transition costs and increased

1998  reported  expenses  included  restructuring  charges of $3.9 million and a
charitable  contribution  of $3 million.  Excluding  the  nonrecurring  charges,
corporate  expenses  increased $5 million as a result of  management  transition
costs and increased incentive costs.

Other
The net  decrease  in other  expense  for the second  quarter and six months was
mainly  due to higher  interest  income  on  increased  cash and lower  interest
expense  on  reduced  debt  levels  resulting  from the  proceeds  from the 1998
dispositions.  The 1998  effective  tax rates for both the  second  quarter  and
six-month  periods  (29.7%  and  33%,  respectively)  were  impacted  by the tax
consequences of the nonrecurring  items.  Excluding the  nonrecurring  items and
their related tax effects, the effective tax rate for the second quarter and six
months  of 1998 was 36% as  planned.  This  rate is  higher  than the 1997  base
effective  tax  rate  of 34%,  due  primarily  to  changes  in the  geographical
distribution of income  resulting from the divestiture of the Sealol  Industrial
Seals division.

Restructuring Charges
During the second quarter of 1998,  management expanded the continuing effort to
restructure certain businesses to further improve the Company's performance. The
plan resulted in pre-tax  restructuring  charges of $23.1 million. The principal
actions in the  restructuring  plan include the integration of current operating
divisions into five strategic  business units,  close-down or consolidation of a
number of production  facilities and general cost reductions.  The restructuring
plan is expected to result in the  elimination of  approximately  300 positions.
These  actions are  expected to result in pre-tax  savings of  approximately  $1
million in 1998.  As the plan will be mainly  implemented  in 1999,  the pre-tax
savings are expected to be $11-13 million in the year 2000. The major components
of the restructuring  charges were $12 million of employee  separation costs, $6
million  of  noncash  charges to  dispose  of  certain  assets  through  sale or
abandonment and $5 million of charges to terminate  lease and other  contractual
obligations  no longer  required  as a result  of the  restructuring  plan.  The
charges do not include additional costs associated with the restructuring plans,
such as training, consulting,  purchase of equipment and relocation of employees
and  equipment.  These costs will be charged to  operations or  capitalized,  as
appropriate, when incurred.

During the first six months of 1998,  management  developed plans to restructure
certain businesses to improve the Company's  performance.  The plans resulted in
pre-tax  restructuring  charges of $54.5  million,  of which  $31.4  million was
recorded  in the first  quarter  and $23.1  million  was  recorded in the second
quarter.  The principal actions in the restructuring plans include close-down or
consolidation  of a number of  offices  and  facilities,  integration  into five
strategic  business  units,   transfer  of  assembly  activities  to  lower-cost
geographic locations, disposal of under-utilized assets, withdrawal from certain
product lines and general cost reductions.  The restructuring plans are expected
to result in the elimination of approximately  900 positions.  These actions are
expected to result in pre-tax  savings of  approximately  $4 million in 1998. As
the plan will be mainly implemented in 1999, the pre-tax savings are expected to
be $22-24  million in the year 2000. The major  components of the  restructuring
charges were $33 million of employee  separation  costs,  $12 million of noncash
charges  to  dispose  of  certain  product  lines  and  assets  through  sale or
abandonment and $10 million of charges to terminate lease and other  contractual
obligations no longer required as a result of the restructuring plans.

                           EG&G, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

The charges do not include  additional costs  associated with the  restructuring
plans,  such as training,  consulting,  purchase of equipment and  relocation of
employees  and  equipment.   These  costs  will  be  charged  to  operations  or
capitalized, as appropriate, when incurred.

Asset Impairment Charge
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company  recorded a $7.4 million  noncash
impairment charge related to an automotive  testing facility that is part of the
Technical  Services  segment.  The  impairment  charge  resulted from  projected
changes in the principal  customer's demand for services.  The charge applied to
fixed assets and will reduce future  depreciation by approximately  $1.4 million
annually.

During the second  quarter of 1997,  the Company  recorded a noncash  impairment
charge of $28.2  million  with $26.7  million  related  to IC  Sensors  and $1.5
million  related  to an  environmental  services  business.  As a  result  of IC
Sensors'  inability  to achieve the  improvements  specified  in its  corrective
action  plan,  it continued  operating at a loss in the second  quarter of 1997,
triggering 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 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. For 1997, IC Sensors lost $7.5 million, excluding the asset impairment
charge. IC Sensors'  performance in the second half of 1997 and first six months
of 1998 was consistent with its revised  operating plan. IC Sensors  operated at
break-even  during the second quarter of 1998. The Company continues to evaluate
performance  against the revised operating plan and will continue to monitor the
realizability of the remaining assets if the operation fails to meet this plan.

Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations,  net of income taxes, in 1997 reflected the
results of the Mound contract which expired in September 1997. The Company is in
the process of negotiating  contract closeouts and does not anticipate incurring
a material loss in excess of previously established reserves.

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

The Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  increased  $120 million in 1998 while
commercial  paper borrowings of $46 million at year-end 1997 were eliminated due
to the proceeds from the sale of two divisions.  Net cash provided by continuing
operations  during the first six months of 1998 was $36.3  million  compared  to
$15.8  million  net cash used in 1997.  The  favorable  change was mainly due to
collection of receivables  and the accrued taxes on the higher income which will
be paid in future quarters. Capital expenditures were $18.5 million in the first
six  months of 1998,  a  decrease  of $7.9  million  from the 1997 level and are
expected  to  be  at  a  level  of  $50-60   million  for  the  year  1998.  The
implementation of the restructuring  plans is expected to result in cash outlays
of $26  million in the  remainder  of 1998 and into 1999.  In 1998,  the Company
realized  gross  proceeds of over $200  million from the sales of the Rotron and
Sealol  Industrial  Seals  divisions and used $45 million to purchase TI Group's
Belfab division.  The Company plans to use these proceeds to accelerate  certain
consolidation  programs and to invest in acquisitions in strategic growth areas.
During the first six months of 1998, the Company purchased 447,000 shares of its
common stock  through  periodic  purchases on the open market at a cost of $11.4
million.  The Company has two revolving credit agreements totaling $200 million.
During the first quarter of 1998,  the  Company's  $100 million  364-day  credit
facility  was  extended to March 1999.  The Company did not draw down its credit
facilities during the first six months of 1998.

                                  Other Matters
                                  -------------

The Company utilizes software and related  technologies  throughout its business
that  will be  affected  by the  Year  2000  problem,  which is  common  to most
corporations.  The problem relates to the inability of microprocessors  and data
dependent  software to correctly handle the year 2000 and beyond. The Company is
addressing  the  effect  of the year  2000 on all of its  critical  systems  and
believes  it will be able to modify or replace its  affected  systems in time to
minimize any detrimental effects on its operations.  Based on current plans, the
Company expects that such costs will not be material to the Company's results of
operations  in any  year and will not  have a  material  adverse  impact  on the
liquidity or financial position of the Company.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union
are  scheduled  to establish  fixed  conversion  rates  between  their  existing
sovereign currencies and the new common currency,  the "euro". The participating
countries  have agreed to adopt the euro as their common legal  currency on that
date.  There will be a transition  period between January 1, 1999 and January 1,
2002, during which the euro will be adopted into the operations. The Company has
formed a  cross-functional  task  force and has begun to  assess  the  potential
impact  to the  Company  that may  result  from the  euro  conversion.  Areas of
assessment include the following:  (1) cross-border price transparencies and the
resulting competitive impact; (2) adaptation of information technology and other
system requirements to accommodate euro transactions; (3) the impact on currency
exchange  rate risk;  (4) the impact on existing  contracts;  (5)  taxation  and
accounting.  The Company's preliminary assessment is that the anticipated impact
of the euro conversion on the Company's operations will not be material.

number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those indicated by such forward-looking  statements,  including the factors
set forth below.

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

In  the  Instruments,   Mechanical  Components,   and  Optoelectronics  industry
segments,  future  performance  will be highly  dependent  on the  technological
success,  market  acceptance,  competitive  position of our businesses,  product
performance  and  ability to reach cost  targets of new and  continuing  program
initiatives.   Improved  operational  efficiency  will  be  required  to  offset
increasing  price  pressure in many of the Company's  product  offerings.  Other
factors  that may impact  future  earnings  performance  include  the ability to
replace sales and earnings lost through  divestitures,  potential issues related
to economic and financial  difficulties  arising in Asia,  unanticipated  issues
associated with the Year 2000 dating  problem,  and difficulty in attracting and
retaining  key  personnel  in  certain   areas.   The  future   results  of  the
Optoelectronics  segment may be affected by management's  ability to maintain IC
Sensors at break-even, 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,  the Company operates in a highly competitive
procurement  environment  in the  automotive  testing  and  government  services
businesses.  The  income  generated  by  many  of our  government  contracts  is
dependent on meeting certain performance criteria. In accordance with government
regulations,   all  of  the  Company's   government  contracts  are  subject  to
termination for the  convenience of the government.  NASA and the Air Force have
decided to consolidate and recompete the base operations contract 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.  It is
anticipated that the resultant contract will be awarded during the third quarter
of 1998 and be effective  October 1, 1998. The Company is  participating  in the
recompetition for the new contract as part of a joint venture.

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  non-U.S.   net   operating   loss
carry-forwards,  repatriation costs,  resolution of outstanding tax audit issues
and changes in the portfolio of businesses.
