                                  (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 December 31, 1996 and the
         consolidated results of operations for the three-month and nine-month
         periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 and its cash flows for the
         nine-month periods ended December 31, 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 nine-month period ended December 31, 1996 are not
         necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2 - Income tax expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
- ------   December 31, 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.

Note 4 - In November 1994 and February 1995, the Company and E-Systems, Inc.
- ------   (E-Systems), respectively filed legal actions related to E-Systems'
         cancellation of purchase orders for ATL Products' DataLibrary and
         DataTower products.  In May 1996, the parties entered into a settlement
         agreement under which, among other things, E-Systems agreed to pay the
         Company $6,160,000, and all claims asserted by the parties were
         released and the litigation dismissed.  In addition, the parties agreed
         to an equitable disposition of disputed inventory and entered into a
         five year service agreement for Odetics to service units that had been
         sold to E-Systems at agreed upon prices. The Company has not to
         recorded any material gain or loss based on the terms of the settlement
         agreement.

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


Results of Operations


     Net sales and contract revenues consist of sales of products and services
     to commercial customers ("Net Sales") and revenues derived from contracts
     with the agencies of the United States Government or its prime contractor
     and long-term contracts with foreign entities related to space recorders
     for geographical information systems ("contract revenues"). Net sales and
     contract revenues for Odetics, Inc. (the "Company") in the quarter ended
     December 31, 1996 increased approximately $8,914,000 or 32.5% compared to
     the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The increase reflects a
     $9,934,000, or 40.8% increase in net sales which was offset partially by a
     $1,020,000, or 33.6% decrease in contract revenues. Net sales and contract
     revenues for the nine-months ended December 31, 1996 increased
     approximately $27,388,000, or 37.4%, compared to the same period in the
     prior fiscal year.  For the nine-months ended December 31, 1996, net sales
     increased 43.3%, and contract revenues decreased 10.1%.

     The growth in net sales for the third quarter and nine-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
     increased unit sales of DLT-based tape library products. The Company's
     Communication Division experienced growth in sales in its telecommunication
     products from increased unit sales of its synchronization products for
     cellular telephone systems and sales of its LIMO family of products for
     telecommunication interfacess.  The Company's Gyyr Division experienced 15%
     and 6% growths in revenues respectively for the third quarter and nine-
     month period while the Company's Broadcast Division  decreased 3%, and 12%
     in revenues respectively compared to the third quarter and nine-months
     ended December 31, 1995.

     Cost of sales and contract revenues as a percentage of net sales and
     contract revenues ("the cost of sales percentage") decreased to 63.0% in
     the third quarter ended December 31, 1996 from 65.9% during the same period
     in the prior fiscal year.  The cost of sales percentage for the nine-months
     ended December 31, 1996 decreased to 63.5% from 64.9% for the same period
     in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in the cost of sales percentage
     principally reflects improved absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead
     costs on higher sales volume at ATL.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("S,G,&A") increased
     $1,512,000 in the third quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to the
     third quarter of the prior year and increased $4,379,000 in the nine-months
     ended December 31, 1996, compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase
     principally reflects increased expenses for advertising, sales commissions,
     and labor costs and related benefits attendant to the Company's expanded
     commercial sales and marketing activities.  As a percentage of net sales,
     SG&A have decreased in all interim periods presented because of increased
     sales volume.

     Research and development (R&D) expenses increased approximately $2,500,000
     to 11.2% of net sales and contract revenues for the third quarter ended
     December 31, 1996 compared to 5.7% for the third quarter of fiscal year
     1996.  R&D expenses for the nine months ended December, 1996 increased
     approximately $4,423,000 to 9.3% of net sales and contract revenues
     compared to 6.8% for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The
     increased R&D expenses primarily reflect

                                       9

     material, consulting, and to a lesser extent, labor and related benefits

     ATL Products subsidiary.

     Interest expense declined approximately $36,000 and $382,000 for the third
     quarter and nine-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 borrowings.

     The effective income tax rate was 39% for the nine-month period of fiscal
     1997 compared to a 37% 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.

     In December 1996, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ATL Products, Inc.
     filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. The "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and "Quarterly Data"
     as reported in "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
     and Results of Operations" contained in the registration statement reported
     the following information regarding net sales and income (loss) before
     income taxes for ATL Products Inc., for the Quarter and Nine Month periods
     ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively:

     Odetics net sales and contract revenues, net of the results reported for
     ATL Products, Inc., increased $2.0 million, or 10.9% in the third quarter
     ended December 31, 1996 compared to the third quarter ended December 31,
     1995. For the nine months ended December 31, 1996, net sales and contract
     revenues increased $3.0 million, or 5.5% compared to the comparable nine
     month period of the previous year. Odetics experienced increased sales for
     both the quarter and nine month periods in its Gyyr and Telecommunications
     Products Divisions, which was partially offset by a decline in sales of its
     Broadcast Division.

     Odetics gross profits on sales, net of the results reported for ATL
     Products, Inc., improved in the third quarter ended December 31, 1996
     compared to the previous year's third quarter with improvements in pricing
     and product mix in its Broadcast and Telecommunications Products Divisions.
     For the nine month period ended December 31, 1996, gross profits in both
     absolute dollars and as a percent of net sales and contract revenues
     declined compared to the previous year's nine month period because of
     certain large international sales to a single customer in the Odetics
     Broadcast Division.

     Odetics income before income taxes, net of the results reported of ATL
     Products Inc., decreased $908,000, or 67.9% in the third quarter ended
     December 31, 1996 compared to the third quarter ended December 31, 1995.
     For the nine months ended December 31, 1996, income before income taxes
     decreased $4.3 million, or 95.4% compared to the nine months ended December
     31, 1995. The decrease in income before income taxes for Odetics, in the
     three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1996 principally reflects
     the effect of increased spending for Research and Development and increased
     Sales and Marketing expenses in its Gyyr and Telecommunications Products
     Divisions.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital


     The Company reported net income of $2,869,000 during the nine-months ended
     December 31, 1996 and cash flow from operating activities of $2,395,000.
     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 offset by an increases in
     accounts receivable and inventories aggregating $5,991,000 to support
     increased commercial product sales.  The Company has a $17,000,000 bank
     line of credit providing for borrowings generally at or below the bank's
     prime rate.  Borrowing's are available for general working capital
     purposes, and at December 31, 1996, $7,600,000 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 December 31, 1996.
