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 equivalents shares derived from dilutive stock options.  
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. 


<PAGE>    7                                                             
ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations 

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased
25% to $32.8 million compared with net sales of $26.2 million in the
first quarter of 1994.  All of the company's business segments
contributed to the first quarter sales growth.  Sales of wireless data
communications systems increased to $17.3 million compared with $13.1 
million for the same period a year earlier, due principally to increased 
sales to international markets and third-party distributors in domestic
markets.  First quarter sales of advanced antenna and space communications
systems increased to $15.5 million in 1995 from $13.1 million in
1994.  

Cost of sales as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased
slightly to 63% in the first quarter of 1995 compared with 61% in
1994 due to increased distribution through third-party channels and
enhancements in customer service operations.   The cost of first
quarter selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as
a percentage of net sales to 23% in 1995 from 25% in 1994.  The
decrease resulted mainly from a larger sales base to absorb the fixed
components of these costs.  Research and development expenses were
comparable to the first quarter of last year, increasing to $2.4 million 
from $2.0 million. 

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1995 decreased to
39% from 41% for the 1994 fiscal year, primarily as a result of a
more favorable tax position for certain foreign operations. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities decreased
to $7.1 million at March 31, 1995, from $13.5 million at the
beginning of the year.  The decrease resulted from higher levels of 
accounts receivable (in part due to the timing of certain billings for the
Company's antenna and space communications products and increased
sales towards the end of the quarter), increases in inventory levels,
and payments of accrued retirement plan costs, as well as capital
expenditures. The timing of capital expenditures may require the
use of additional cash during the second quarter. Management believes
that it will generate positive cash flow from operations for the
remainder of the year, and that existing sources of cash will be sufficient 
to fund capital investments required to proceed with the Company's
long-term strategic plans.
