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, 1996 and the
          consolidated results of operations for the three-month and six-month
          periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 and its cash flows for the
          six-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. 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,
          1996 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the
          entire year.

Note 2 -  Income tax expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended
- ------                                                                      
          September 30, 1995 and 1996 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.

          year service agreement for Odetics to service units that had been sold
          to E-Systems at agreed upon prices. The Company does not expect to

          agreement.

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


Results of Operations


     Net sales and contract revenues for Odetics, Inc. (the "Company") in the
     second quarter of fiscal year 1997 increased approximately $9,108,000 or
     37.2% 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 $9,138,000, or 42.1% and a slight
     decrease in contract revenues (government products) of approximately
     $30,000. Net sales and contract revenues for the six-month period of fiscal
     year 1997 increased approximately $18,474,000, or 40.2%, compared to the
     same period in the prior fiscal year. For the six months ended September
     30, 1996 net sales were up 44.7%, and contract revenues were up 3.9%.

     The growth in net sales for the second quarter and six-month period was
     primarily due to an increase in sales in the Company's wholly owned
     subsidiary, ATL Products, Inc. ("ATL"). ATL's sales growth resulted from
     the introduction of new products and expansion of sales channels for its
     product offerings. The Company's Communication Division also showed strong
     growth in sales in its telecommunication products with increased sales of
     its synchronization products for cellular telephone systems and
     telecommunication interface products. The Company's Broadcast Division
     experienced a slight decrease in revenues for the second quarter and six-
     month period while Gyyr sales approximately were flat compared to the six
     months ended September 30, 1995.

     Cost of sales and contract revenues as a percentage of net sales and
     contract revenues ("cost of sales percentage") decreased to 64.3% in the
     second quarter ended September 30, 1996 from 65.2% during the same period
     in the prior fiscal year. The cost of sales percentage for the six-month
     period of fiscal 1997 decreased to 63.8% from 64.2% for the same period in
     the prior fiscal year. This decrease primarily resulted from improved gross
     margins at ATL due to improved absorption of fixed manufacturing costs on
     higher sales volume and a sales mix that carried overall higher gross
     profit margins. The cost of sales percentage also declined due to a
     decrease in the cost of contract revenues as a result of a continued
     decline in the government manufacturing cost base.

     Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased
     approximately $1,117,000 in the second quarter ended September 30, 1996,
     although as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues, SG&A declined
     to 20.1% compared to 23.0% in the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal
     year. SG&A expenses increased $2,867,000 in the six months ended September
     30, 1996, although as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues, SG&A
     declined to 21.1% for the six-month period compared to 23.4% for the
     comparable period in the prior fiscal year. SG&A expenses primarily
     increased due to increased selling expenses to support the increased
     commercial product sales primarily in the areas of commissions,
     advertising, and labor and related benefits.

     Research and development (R&D) expenses increased approximately $1,365,000
     to 9.0% of net sales and contract revenues for the second quarter of fiscal
     year 1997 compared to 6.8% for the second quarter of fiscal year 1996.  R&D
     expenses for the first six-months of fiscal 1997 increased approximately
     $1,923,000 to 8.3% of net sales and contract revenues compared to 7.4% for
     the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The increased R&D expenses
     reflect prototype material,

                                       8

     consulting, and labor and related benefits accompanying increased new
     product development activities.

     Interest expense declined approximately $159,000 and $346,000 for the
     second quarter and six-month periods of fiscal 1997, respectively, compared
     to the same periods for the prior fiscal year.  These decreases were
     primarily due to overall lower average line of credit borrowings.

     The effective income tax rate was 39% for the six-month period of fiscal
     1997 compared to a 38% tax rate for the same period of the prior year.  The
     increase in the effective tax rate projected for fiscal 1997 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 $2,095,000 during the first six-months
     of fiscal 1997 and cash flow from operating activities of $3,187,000.  Cash
     flow from operating activities included the receipt of net proceeds from
     the settlement of the litigation with E-Systems (see Note 4 of Notes to
     Consolidated Financial Statements), which was partially offset by an
     increase in inventories to support increased commercial product sales,
     especially in the Company's ATL Products subsidiary.  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, 1996, $7,900,000 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, 1996.
