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, 1995. 

(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.  For purposes
of calculating primary earnings per share, the Company's proportionate
share of net earnings of LXE Inc. is 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.

(3) Purchase of LXE Inc. Common Stock

     On February 11, 1996, the Company increased its ownership of LXE
Inc. from 72% to 81% by purchasing 548,000 shares of the common stock of
LXE Inc. in a private transaction.  The purchase price was paid with a
combination of $500,000 of cash and 457,000 newly issued shares of the
Company's common stock.  Goodwill, to be amortized over 25 years, was
recognized to the extent that the purchase price of the LXE stock
exceeded the fair value of the additional net assets acquired.  The
greater level of ownership will increase the Company's participation in
LXE's future operating results and will enable the Company to consolidate
LXE for corporate income tax purposes.  

(4)  Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995.  The Company intends to comply with
the provisions of SFAS 123 in fiscal 1996 by continuing to recognize
compensation cost from stock options under the "intrinsic value" method,
with additional footnote disclosures to be provided, including the pro
forma effects of applying the "fair value" method of SFAS 123.  Based
upon this accounting policy, the Company does not expect to recognize any
compensation cost associated with stock options granted in 1996.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

     Consolidated net sales for the second quarter and first six months
of 1996 were $35.7 million and $68.9 million respectively, compared with
$33.0 million and $65.8 million for the same respective periods in 1995.
These net increases were due to continued growth in the Company's
advanced communications business segment, especially in the markets for
space and other wireless technologies.  This segment's sales in the
second quarter and first six months of 1996 increased to $19.2 million
and $38.2 million respectively, compared with $16.5 million and $32.0
million for the same respective periods one year earlier.  In the
Company's wireless logistics segment, second quarter sales at LXE
continued to grow in European markets and were improved compared with the
preceding quarter in North American markets.  Second quarter 1996 sales
of wireless logistics products and services were $16.5 million and $30.7
million for the interim periods ended June 30, 1996, compared with $16.5
million and $33.8 million for the same interim periods in 1995.  LXE is
seeking to improve its North American revenues by expanding its product
line to support more industry-standard technology platforms and systems,
and forming strategic partnerships in new markets such as health care
information management.

The changing revenue mix in 1996 compared with 1995 has not significantly
affected cost of sales as a percentage of net sales, which was
approximately 64% in both years.  Selling, general and administrative
expense for the second quarter and first six months were comparable in
1996 and 1995.  Research and development expenses for the interim periods
ended June 30, 1996 were higher for the comparable periods in 1995 due to
efforts to expand the LXE product line, to complete development of the
new CALQuest(TM) aeronautical terminal for commercial satellite-based
communications, and to develop other new technologies for wireless
network infrastructure.

Interest and other income was reported net of a foreign exchange loss in the 
second quarter of 1996 and lower gains for the first six months of 1996 
compared with 1995, resulting from currency fluctuations that affected the 
accounting translation of European subsidiaries' financial statements into 
U.S. dollars.  Interest expense increased with LXE's higher level of borrowing
in 1996 compared with 1995.  The effective consolidated income tax rate
for the first half of 1996 was 41%, which was comparable with the 38% for
the 1995 fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

     Cash provided by operations resulted in an increase in cash and cash
equivalents to $7.0 million at June 30, 1996, compared with $5.8 million
at the beginning of the year.  Management believes that the Company's
present liquidity, together with cash from operations and sources of
external financing will support its current business activities and
capital investment plans.
