Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation 
      The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Electromagnetic Sciences, Inc. its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMS Technologies,
Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries, LXE Inc. and CAL Corporation
(collectively, the "Company").  In the opinion of management, the interim
consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods.  The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for
the full year.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994. 

(2) Earnings per share 
      Earnings per common and common equivalent share for the interim periods
were based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and equivalent
shares derived from dilutive stock options (except for loss periods).  For
purposes of calculating primary earnings per share, the Company's proportionate
share of the net earnings of LXE Inc. has been adjusted to reflect the dilutive
effect of LXE's outstanding stock options.  Fully diluted earnings per share
are not significantly different from the primary earnings per share presented.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
      Consolidated net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1994 increased by 48% and 19% respectively, compared with the same interim
periods in 1993.  Most of this growth related to one of the Company's 
subsidiaries, LXE Inc., which increased its third quarter sales of wireless data
communications systems to $17.0 million in 1994, compared with $7.5 million in
1993; LXE's revenues for the first nine months of 1994 increased to $45.4
million in 1994, compared with $31.4 million for the same period one year
earlier.  The favorable comparison of LXE revenues was due in part to lower 
third quarter 1993 revenues resulting from shipment delays caused by redesign 
and testing of software for a new generation of products.  In addition, LXE 
has had revenue growth from international markets (particularly through 
European subsidiaries) and third-party distribution channels in domestic 
markets.  Along with LXE's improvement, the Company's EMS Technologies 
subsidiary achieved substantial sales increases in 1994 compared with 1993, 
mainly due to revenue recognized on space communications and antenna 
programs.  The Company's CAL subsidiary had breakeven results in the third 
quarter of 1994, even though its quarterly and year-to-date revenues were lower 
than in 1993 because of the disposal of its defense electronics business
group in late 1993.

      Cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, as 
percentages of consolidated net sales, decreased during the third quarter and 
nine months of 1994 as compared with 1993 primarily due to a higher sales 
base in 1994 to absorb fixed costs.  Research and development expenditures 
through September 30 were lower than in 1993 as a result of the completion 
of work in 1993 on LXE's "open systems" wireless data communications products.
The Company's effective tax rate was 41% and 43% for the 1994 third quarter 
and first nine months, respectively, compared with approximately 38% for 1993; 
the higher effective rate in 1994 related to higher marginal tax rates on 
European earnings by LXE and to CAL's year-to-date net operating loss, which 
reduced operating income but for which no income tax benefit was recorded.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
      The total of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased to
$11.2 million at September 30, 1994  from $10.4 million at the beginning of the
year.   Management believes that the Company will generate sufficient cash from
operations to have positive cash flow in the fourth quarter of 1994.
