                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note 1 - In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
- ------   financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal
         recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company's
         consolidated financial position as of September 30, 1995 and it's
         results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
         September 30, 1994, and 1995 and it's cash flows for the six-month
         periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1995. Certain information and
         footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of
         the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for
         the six-month period ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily
         indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2 - Income tax expense for three-month and the six-month periods ended
- ------   September 30, 1994 and 1995 have been provided at the estimated
         annualized effective tax rates based on the estimated income tax
         liability or asset and change in deferred taxes for their respective
         fiscal years. Deferred taxes result primarily from temporary
         differences in the reporting of income for financial statement and
         income tax purposes. These differences relate principally to the use of
         accelerated cost recovery depreciation methods for tax purposes,
         capitalization of interest and taxes for tax purposes, capitalization
         of computer software costs for financial statement purposes, deferred
         compensation, other payroll accruals, and reserves for inventory and
         accounts receivable for financial statement purposes and general
         business tax credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards
         for tax purposes.

         During April 1995, the Company secured borrowings of $1,750,000
         collateralized by equipment, payable in monthly installments through
         March 1999, including interest at 8.99%. In the second quarter of
         fiscal 1996, the Company violated certain of the financial covenants in
         its line of credit agreement with its primary banks. The Company
         received a waiver of those covenants as of September 30, 1995 and
         anticipates an amendment to the financial covenants in the line of
         credit agreement during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

Note 4 - On November 15, 1994, the Company filed suit in the Superior Court of
- ------   Los Angeles, California ("California Action"), against E-Systems, Inc.
         for breach of contract due to

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
         cancellation of all remaining purchase orders for ATL Products'
         DataLibrary and DataTower products under an agreement which extended
         until 1996. Additionally, the Company's suit claims breach of contract
         for the return and cancellation of a purchase order for ATL Products'
         ACL 5480 and ACL 2640 products. Shortly prior to the filing of the
         suit, E-Systems had notified the Company of its cancellation of all
         purchase orders under the above mentioned agreements due to alleged
         product reliability problems.

         On February 2, 1995, E-Systems filed a countersuit in the District
         Court of Dallas, Texas ("Texas Action"), against the Company for breach
         of good faith and fair dealing whereby it is alleged that the Company
         did not provide reliable "commercial" products--ATL Products'
         DataLibrary Systems and DataTower Systems. The Company believes the
         claims of the countersuit from E-Systems are without merit and will be
         vigorously defended.

         On May 15, 1995, E-Systems filed a cross-complaint in the California
         Action ("California Cross-Complaint"). Although somewhat differently
         phrased than the Texas Action, the California Cross-Complaint appears
         to seek recovery for the same claims as made by E-Systems in the Texas
         Action. The California Cross-Complaint is stated in two counts, one
         pertaining to DataLibraries and one pertaining to DataTowers. The
         Company believes the claims of the California Cross-Complaint are
         without merit and will be vigorously defended.

         Both the initial suit and countersuit are in preliminary discovery and
         other pretrial investigation proceedings and will proceed concurrently
         in the California Court. The ultimate outcome of the litigation cannot
         presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any losses or
         recovery that may occur from the ultimate resolution of the litigation
         has been made in the accompanying financial statements.


         In June 1995, the Company filed suit against Storage Technology
         Corporation ("Storage Technology") and certain other defendants in
         United States Federal Court for the Eastern District of Virginia,
         Alexandria Division, alleging that certain products manufactured and
         sold by Storage Technology infringe on the Company's patented
         technology. The Company seeks injunctive relief against further
         infringement and monetary damages according to proof, which are subject
         to trebling under certain circumstances. In its answer to the Company's
         complaint in this action, Storage Technology has asserted counterclaims
         against the Company and the ATL Products Division for alleged
         infringement of certain patented technology of Storage Technology. The
         matter is scheduled for trial on January 22, 1996. Management intends
         to vigorously prosecute the Company's claim and defend against Storage
         Technology's counterclaims. No prediction can be made as to the likely
         outcome of this matter, but management believes that the outcome of the
         suit is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
         business or financial condition.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations


     Net sales and contract revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 1996
     increased approximately $1,815,000, or 8.0%, compared to the second quarter
     of the prior fiscal year. The components of this overall increase consisted
     of an increase in net sales (commercial products) of approximately
     $2,255,000, or 11.6%, which was partially offset by a decrease in contract
     revenues (government products) of approximately $440,000, or 13.6%. Net
     sales and contract revenues for the six month period of fiscal year 1996
     increased approximately $767,000, or 1.7%, compared to the same period in
     the prior fiscal year. For the six month period of fiscal year 1996 net
     sales were up 9.2%, and contract revenues were down 34.6%.

     The growth in net sales for the second quarter and six month period was
     primarily due to increased sales in the Company's Broadcast Division. The
     Broadcast Division's sales growth reflected an increase in shipments of its
     SpotBank/TM/ and the Cache Machine/TM/ along with initial revenues of its
     new TCS45/TM/ system. The Communication Division also showed strong growth
     in its synchronization product line with sales of its recently developed
     cellular synchronization system sold into the Korean telecom market. The
     Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ATL Products, Inc ("ATL") experienced a
     decrease in revenues compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
     This decrease was due to the absence this year of a major customer,
     E-Systems, which comprised approximately 13% of Odetics' total net sales
     and contract revenues for the second quarter and six month periods of
     fiscal 1995. ATL showed strong growth in its' product lines utilizing DLT,
     which helped partially offset the overall decrease in ATL revenues.
     Government product revenues decreased primarily due to the slowdown in
     government spending and the Company's transition away from certain
     government markets.

     Cost of sales and contract revenues as a percentage of net sales and
     contract revenues ("cost of sales percentage") increased to 65.2% from
     63.6% during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The cost of sales
     percentage for the six month period of fiscal 1996 increased to 64.2% from
     63.7% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was a
     result of a sales mix favoring increased commercial product sales which
     generally carry a higher cost of sales percentage and a decline in
     government sales which traditionally carry a lower cost of sales
     percentage.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased approximately
     $241,000, though as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues, SG&A
     declined to 23.0% compared to 23.7% in the comparable quarter in the prior
     fiscal year. SG&A expenses increased approximately $473,000 to 23.4% of net
     sales and contract revenues for the six months of fiscal 1996 compared to
     the 22.8% for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. SG&A expenses
     increased for the second quarter and six month period compared to the same
     periods in the prior fiscal year primarily due to professional fees related
     to the E-Systems litigation.

                                       9

     Research & development (R&D) expenses decreased approximately $655,000 to
     6.8% of net sales and contract revenues for the second quarter of fiscal
     year 1996 compared to 10.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. R&D
     expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1996 decreased approximately
     $1,012,000 to 7.4% of net sales and contract revenues compared to 9.7% for
     the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in R&D
     expenses as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues reflected the
     effect of certain cost-cutting measures taken during the second half of
     fiscal 1995 and completion of certain major R&D programs in the fourth
     quarter of fiscal 1995.

     Interest expense increased approximately $114,000 and $357,000 for the
     second quarter and six month periods of fiscal 1996, respectively, compared
     to the same periods for the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily
     due to increased line of credit borrowings and increased interest costs.

     The effective income tax rate was 38% for the six month period of fiscal
     1996 compared to a 34% tax rate for the same period in the prior fiscal
     year. The increase in the effective tax rate projected for fiscal 1996 is
     due to a reduction in the effect of general business tax credits on total
     income tax expense.


 Liquidity and Sources of Capital

     The Company reported net income of $610,000 during the first six months of
     fiscal 1996 and cash flow from operating activities of $2,516,000. This was
     primarily due to a decrease in inventories and prepaid expenses of
     $2,125,000. The Company has a $17,000,000 bank line of credit providing for
     borrowings generally at or below the bank's prime rate. Borrowings are
     available for general working capital purposes, and at September 30, 1995,
     $5,700,000 was available for borrowing under the line. The Company
     anticipates that net cash flow from operating activities in conjunction
     with its bank credit arrangements will be sufficient to execute its
     operating plans and meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company
     does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of
     September 30, 1995.
