                          IRVINE SENSORS CORPORATION
             CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

   The information contained in the following Condensed Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in the
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders of Irvine Sensors Corporation (the
"Company").  It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim
dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end.  The
results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the entire year.

   The consolidated financial information as of March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995
included herein is unaudited but includes all normal recurring adjustments
which, in the opinion of management of the Company, are necessary to present
fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 1996, the
results of its operations for the 13 and 26 week periods ended March 31, 1996
and April 2, 1995 and its cash flows for the 26 week periods ended March 31,
1996 and April 2, 1995.

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Irvine Sensors
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries Carson Alexiou Corporation ("CAC")
and Novalog, Inc. ("Novalog").  All significant intercompany transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORY

   Title to all inventories remains with the Company.  Inventoried materials and
costs relate to work-in-process on serial infrared communication chips,
customers' orders, generic module parts and memory stacks which the Company
anticipates it will sell to customers.  Such inventoried costs are stated
generally at the total of the direct production costs including overhead.
Inventory valuations do not include general and administrative expenses and are
valued at the lower of cost or market.

NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

   In conjunction with the fiscal 1995 private financing of $2.25 million of 8
percent convertible subordinated debentures (the "Debentures"), the Company
issued an additional $500,000 of Debentures in October 1995 to institutional
investors in Europe.  The gross proceeds less expenses were added to the
Company's general funds.  During the 26 week period of fiscal 1996, the Company,
at the request of bond holders, converted the entire $2.75 million of
outstanding Debentures at varying rates into 509,400 shares of the Company's
common stock which were subsequently registered.

   In a private financing during February and March 1996, the Company issued
$11.1 million of 8 percent convertible subordinated debentures due in 1998, to
institutional and private investors in Canada and Europe.  The Debentures are
convertible into shares of common at varying rates which are contingent upon the
closing bid prices of the common stock.  The Company shall have the right to
demand conversion of the Debentures at any time after March 1997.  Interest is
payable semi-annually on September 30 and March 31 of each year.  The debentures
are subordinated to prior payment of bank indebtedness of the Company.  The
gross proceeds less expenses were added to the Company's general funds.  There
are no restrictions on the use of these funds. The Company has filed a
registration statement to register the shares underlying the Debentures.

   The Company originally accounted for its convertible debentures in accordance
with APB 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock
Purchase Warrants". However the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") staff
has indicated that convertible debt instruments which are convertible at a
discount from market should be accounted for by treating the maximum discount as
interest expense with an offset to paid in capital. In November 1997, the
Company was advised that past issuers of such securities have recently restated
prior financial statements to comport with the SEC view. In conformance
therewith, the Company has calculated non-cash interest expense of $4,396,700
with a like amount added to paid-in capital in the second quarter of fiscal
1996. The Company also recorded a non-cash interest expense of $1,101,700 in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 as a result of issuing debentures in fiscal 1995
which were convertible at a discount from the market price of the common stock.
Because of the offsetting nature of these entries, Shareholders' equity remains
unchanged.

NOTE 4 - ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK

   During the 26 week period of fiscal 1996, the Company issued 222,000 shares
of common stock to four employees, one of whom is a director and three non-
employee directors upon exercise of options granted under the Company's Stock
Option Plans.  The Company also issued 79,700 shares of common stock to its
foreign

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
investment banker upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants. The net
proceeds of $227,300 were added to the Company's general funds.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  In April 1980, the Company entered into an agreement with R&D Leasing Ltd.,
(RDL), a limited partnership in which the Company's Chairman and a Senior Vice-
President are general partners with beneficial interests, to design an
electronic circuit, to develop certain fabrication processes and to build
equipment for testing electronic integrated circuits.  In connection with the
development of the electronic test equipment under the RDL agreement, certain
other proprietary fabrication processes were developed to which RDL retained
ownership.  Upon the occurrence of certain specified events, such as the use of
patented fabrication processes in connection with contracts, the agreement with
RDL provides that the Company will pay RDL a royalty fee based on a percentage
of revenues from sales of the basic devices using the processes created during
the development of this equipment.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company owed RDL
$123,200 in deferred royalty fees.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   On April 19, 1996, the Company consummated an agreement for the acquisition
and operation of the equipment comprising IBM's cubing line located at IBM's
Essex Junction, Vermont facility.  The cubing line was established by IBM to
manufacture the stacked-chip assemblies required to commercialize the Company's
proprietary chip-stacking technology under the joint development alliance that
IBM and the Company entered into in 1992 and recently completed. According to
the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired the equipment and clean room
which comprises the cubing line for a cash payment of approximately $6.5
million. In addition, the Company signed a facility lease agreement for the
space required to operate the cubing line under the Company's management within
the IBM facility at least through December 1998.

   In April 1996, the Company borrowed $3.0 million from a bank pursuant to a
six-year term loan agreement.  Interest is payable monthly at prime plus 1.5
percent, and principal is payable monthly beginning the second year of the loan.
Ninety percent of this loan is guaranteed by the Rural Economic Community
Development Service and Vermont Economic Development Authority.  The loan
agreement contains restrictive covenants which include the maintenance of
minimum tangible net worth, as defined, and of certain financial ratios.  The
loan is collateralized by substantially all the assets related to the Company's
Vermont operations.

   On April 22, 1996, the Company filed a report on Form 8-K covering the
acquisition of the cubing line and lease agreement with IBM, and for the 8
percent convertible subordinated debentures issued by the Company to obtain the
necessary financing to complete the purchase agreement with IBM.

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

   Except for historical information contained herein, this Report contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The
forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, including those discussed below and in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 1995, that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that
may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

   Revenues for the 26 week period ended March 31, 1996 of $4,624,200 surpassed
all previous records for a 26 week period and represents an increase of
$1,260,700 or 37 percent from the corresponding period in fiscal 1995.  Revenues
for the 13 week period ended March 31, 1996 increased $241,600 or 13 percent
from the corresponding period in fiscal 1995.  The growth in revenues was
attributable to increases in shipments of the Company's new serial infrared
communications chip ("SIRComm") from the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Novalog, Inc., and shipments of Memory Short Stacks(TM) from the Company's
Vermont facility.  The SIRComm chip has continued to gain market acceptance
since its introduction in late fiscal 1995.  The increase in shipments of Memory
Short Stacks by the Company's Computer Products Operations ("CPO") is a result
of substantial increases in bookings for this product that began in the second
half of fiscal 1995.   The Company's research and development operations, which
is largely dependent on contracts from the U.S. Government's military agencies
and subcontracts from major Government contractors, continued to be adversely
affected by funding delays as a result of the Federal Government's budget
crisis.

   Other revenues were derived from a license agreement with Unitrode
Corporation which involves the transfer of technology required to produce
Novalog's SIRComm chip.

COSTS OF REVENUES

   Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the 13 and 26 week periods
ended March 31, 1996 were 112 percent and 106 percent, respectively, as compared
to 89 percent and 92 percent for the comparable periods in fiscal 1995.  The
increase in costs of revenues was due to the Company's inability to recover
indirect costs in the Company's research and development unit due to funding
delays on existing contracts and the inability to obtain new contracts during
the Federal Government's budget crisis.   In addition, overhead costs at CPO
increased in connection with of the completion of the joint development
activities with IBM to commercialize the Company's chip-stacking technology and
from efforts to ramp-up production of stacked memory products to meet existing
backlog requirements and projected bookings.

   In conjunction with the acquisition of the IBM cubing line and the related
facility lease (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) the
Company anticipates that the costs at the Vermont operation will adversely
impact the results of operations in the immediate future until the output of the
line and corresponding shipments of products can be substantially increased.
Although the Company believes that the market exists to justify the investment
required to increase production, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to effectively penetrate this market in a timely manner thereby
generating the revenues necessary to absorb these additional costs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

   The Company increased its expenditure in research and development by $61,800
and $152,500 or 16 percent and 23 percent during the 13 and 26 week periods
ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in
fiscal 1995.  The increases were primarily attributable to efforts directed at

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
developing the next generation SIRComm products, and to a lessor extent,
research directed toward process improvements at the Company's other operations.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

   During the first half of fiscal 1996, the Company experienced steady growth
in its administrative infrastructure related to the increase in business
activity and the anticipation of future growth.  As a percentage of revenues,
general and administrative expense was 50 percent and 41 percent for the 13 and
26 week period compared to 36 percent and 35 percent in fiscal 1995,
respectively. The increase consisted of additional labor costs primarily
directed towards the Company's marketing efforts combined with general increases
in fixed costs, operating supplies and services.

INTEREST EXPENSE

   Interest expense increased $43,300 and $77,800 for the 13 and 26 week periods
ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared to the similar periods in fiscal
1995.  The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to interest
payable on subordinated debenture bonds (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements) and to interest on capital lease obligations incurred
during fiscal 1995.  In conjunction with the $3.0 million bank loan (See Note 6
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and the $11.1 million in new
convertible subordinated debentures (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements), the Company anticipates interest expense to increase
accordingly.

   The Company originally accounted for its convertible debentures in accordance
with APB 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock 
Purchase Warrants". However the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") staff
has indicated that convertible debt instruments which are convertible at a
discount from market should be accounted for by treating the maximum discount as
interest expense with an offset to paid in capital. In November 1997, the
Company was advised that past issuers of such securities have recently restated
prior financial statements to comport with the SEC view. In conformance
therewith, the Company has calculated non-cash interest expense of $4,396,700
with a like amount added to paid-in capital in the second quarter of fiscal
1996. The Company also recorded a non-cash interest expense of $1,101,700 in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 related to convertible debentures issued in fiscal
1995 which were convertible at a discount from the market price of the common
stock. Because of the offsetting nature of these entries, Shareholders' equity
remains unchanged. (See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   At March 31, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,704,200,
working capital of $13,659,900 and a current ratio of 4.4 to 1 which represent
significant increases from the end of fiscal 1995. The improvement in liquidity
resulted from the issuance of $11.6 million of 8 percent convertible
subordinated debentures bonds (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements) in the first half of fiscal 1996. The primary uses of cash and cash
equivalents during the first half of fiscal 1996 were to fund the Company's
operating loss, the increase in inventory and capital facilities and equipment
investments.

   The Company is continuing to invest in improvements to its facilities and
capital equipment both in California and Vermont.  In the first half of fiscal
1996, the Company invested $1,260,500 in these improvements.  The Company is
anticipating the current rate of capital expenditures to increase in the
immediate future.

   On April 19, 1996, the Company consummated the purchase of the IBM cubing
line with an approximate $6.5 million cash payment to IBM (See Note 6 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements).

   In April 1996, the Company borrowed $3.0 million from a bank pursuant to a
six-year term loan agreement (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).  The Company anticipates that the existing working capital and the
funds from the bank loan will be sufficient to meet its needs in the immediate
future.

   At March 31, 1996, the Company's funded backlog was approximately $5,606,200
compared to $2,449,400 at April 2, 1995.  In addition, existing contracts
include approximately $5,113,900 of unfunded backlog which typically is funded
when the previously funded amounts have been expended.
