                GENERAL KINETICS INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements at August 31, 1995 and 
May 31, 1995, and for the three months ended August 31, 1995, and August 31, 
1994, include the accounts of General Kinetics Incorporated and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, Food Technology Corporation and GKI Tempest Services, Inc.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     The financial information included herein is unaudited.   In addition, 
the financial information does not include all disclosures required under 
generally accepted accounting principles in that certain note information 
included in the Company's Annual Report has been omitted; however, such 
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring 
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair 
presentation of the results of the interim periods.

     The results of operations for the three month period ended August 31, 
1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
full year.


Note 2 - Inventory

     All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being 
determined on a first-in, first-out basis.


     Consolidated inventories are as follows:

Note 3 - Commitments and Contingencies

An environmental study undertaken by consultants in connection with 
refinancing the Orlando mortgage has identified certain areas of concern which 
are being further analyzed and investigated by the Company and its consultants.
These concerns, which were first identified in July, 1995,

                                  7

<PAGE>

relate to the preliminary indication that the Orlando property may contain 
levels of certain contaminants approaching or exceeding regulatory standards. 
The Company expects its consultants  to assist in determining, among other 
things, the nature, extent, and original source of these substances as well 
as the degree of involvement required from the Company to satisfactorily 
resolve these concerns. At the present time it is too early to determine 
whether any monitoring, remediation, or other action may be necessary,  or to 
determine the cost, if any, that might be associated with such activities if 
required. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any provision for loss 
with respect to this matter.

Note 4 - Net Income/(Loss) Per Share

Primary and fully diluted net earnings/(loss) per share have been computed 
using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent 
shares outstanding, to the extent dilutive.  Common equivalent shares consist 
of 19 million shares issuable upon conversion of Convertible Subordinated 
Debentures issued to the Company's majority stockholder, Gutzwiller & Partner, 
AG ("Gutzwiller").  Outstanding stock options were not determined to be 
dilutive, and therefore no effect was given to them for the current period.  
Net income for the current period was adjusted for the elimination of interest 
expense for the convertible debt, net of applicable income taxes, while the 
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents 
outstanding were increased.  For the three months ended August 31, 1995, both 
primary and fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.01.

Due to the losses for the three months ended August 31, 1994, the outstanding 
stock options and Convertible Subordinated Debentures issued to Gutzwiller 
were not considered dilutive and therefore no effect is given to any stock 
equivalents for that period.


Note 5 - Notes Payable

At May 31 and August 31, 1995, convertible debentures issued to Gutzwiller have
an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million, mature in 10 years, are 
convertible into common stock at a conversion price of 50 cents per share, and 
bear interest at 1% per annum, which is payable annually beginning August 1995.
The convertible debentures shall be subject to the terms of a Pledge and 
Security Agreement providing for a security interest in substantially all the 
assets of the Company, with certain exceptions (including without limitation 
exceptions of accounts receivable and other financing), to secure the
obligations in respect of the debentures.  Shares issuable upon conversion are 
also subject to certain rights to registration under the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended.

Other Real Estate Mortgage Loans

The Company was in violation of certain financial covenants of the real estate 
mortgage agreement on the Company's Johnstown facility as of August 31, 1995, 
however, the lender has agreed to waive the violations through May 31, 1996.  
The debt has been classified as a current liability at August 31, 1995 in the 
accompanying financial statements.

The holder of the real estate mortgage on the Company's Orlando facility, 
under which $243,900 was outstanding on August 31, 1995, has notified the 
Company that bonds originally issued to finance that facility, pursuant to 
terms which permit them to be called prior to stated maturity on certain dates,
have been called for redemption on August 22, 1995.  Such a redemption would 
create an obligation to prepay amounts outstanding under the mortgage. As a 
result of the mortgage holder's communication, the debt has been classified as 
a current liability at May 31, 1995 and August 31, 1995 in the accompanying 
financial statements.

Note 6 - Other Assets

Costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of a computer 
software product are considered research and developed costs and are expensed 
as incurred.  When the technological feasibility of a software product has been
established, development costs subsequent to that date are capitalized. 
Capitalization of these costs ceases when the product is considered available 
for general release to customers.  During the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 
1995, the Company capitalized $53,700 in internally developed software costs 
relating to the secure local area network product new release (VSLAN 5.0) and 
certain software being developed for the TS-21 ruggedized facsimile machine. 
Amortization of capitalized software development costs is computed on a product-
by-product basis over the estimated economic lives of the products. The product
that is currently being amortized has an estimated life of three years.  
Amortization of capitalized costs was $1,300 in the first quarter of fiscal 
1996.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations


Three Months Ended August 31, 1995, Compared to Three Months Ended August 31, 
1994

Net sales for the three months ended August 31, 1995 were $4.9 million as 
compared to net sales of $2.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 
1994.  In the Secure Communications Division ("SCD"), net sales increased by 
approximately $1.3 million, from $1.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 
1995 to $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in 
SCD sales was primarily attributable to deliveries totaling $1.5 million on a 
contract to ANT, a supplier of fax machines to the German Government.  
Approximately $1.5 million of the contract remained in backlog at August 31, 
1995, and shipments are expected to be substantially completed by calendar 
year end.
 
The Electronic Enclosure Division's ("EED") net sales increased from $1.1 
million for the quarter ended August 31, 1994, to $2.4 million for the quarter 
ended August 31, 1995.  This increase was due to an increase in customer demand
for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to the corresponding quarter 
of the prior fiscal year.

Sales, General & Administrative costs increased from approximately $651,100 
the first quarter of fiscal 1995 to approximately $807,500 in the first 
quarter of the current fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an 
increased sales and marketing effort in the Secure Communications Division.

For the three months ended August 31, 1995, the Company showed an operating 
profit of $148,100 compared to a $514,100 operating loss for the comparable 
quarter of the prior year. The improvement in operations was primarily due to 
increase in sales discussed above as well as a significant increase in the 
gross margin in the Electronic Enclosure Division.  Productivity improvements 
which started in the second half of fiscal 1995 along with efforts to target 
new contracts with higher profit margins resulted in the significant 
improvement in EED gross profits for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as 
compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 1995 was $111,700 
compared to an interest expense of $133,500 for the three months ended August 
31, 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net 
capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability 
to continue as a going concern.  However, the operating loss for fiscal 1995 
showed significant improvement over the prior three fiscal years, and the 
Company had unaudited net income of approximately $134,000 in the fourth 
quarter of fiscal 1995.  In addition, the unaudited net income of approximately
$148,100 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 showed significant improvement 
over the loss for the same period in the prior fiscal year. To achieve overall 
profitability for fiscal 1996, the Company must continue to increase revenues 
and gross profit margins. In the Secure Communications Division, successful 
operations will depend, to a large extent, on the division's ability to market 
the secured communications products overseas and to domestic markets.  The 
division is currently developing new products, including a secure tactical 
facsimile machine which is expected to complete final development in fiscal 
1996, to increase net sales.  The Division must be able to update its secure 
product line in order to meet current market demands and develop an adequate 
sales level for profitable operations.  In the enclosure division,  productivity
improvements which started in the second half of fiscal 1995 along with efforts
to target new contracts with higher profit margins resulted in a significant 
improvement in gross profits for the 1995 fiscal year and the first quarter of 
fiscal 1996 as compared to the prior two fiscal years.  The division must 
continue to market electronic enclosure products to government and commercial 
markets, and enter into contracts with favorable profit margins which can be 
produced within budget to achieve sustained profitability in fiscal 1996.  
Management believes that it has taken appropriate steps to return the Company 
to profitability, however, there can be no assurance that revenues will 
increase or that the Company will be able to generate revenues or margins 
sufficient to achieve overall profitability in fiscal 1996.

As of September 27, 1995, the Memorandum of Agreement between the Company and 
the National Security Agency ("NSA") expired in accordance with its terms.  
NSA has indicated that extension or replacement of that Memorandum is 
dependent on, in particular, the Defense Investigative Service ("DIS") issuing 
a favorable report with respect to foreign ownership issues affecting the 
Company.  As previously disclosed, the Company has been in discussions with 
the DIS for that purpose and has submitted definitive proposals which it
believes are consistent with the DIS's expectations and requirements in this 
regard.  However, there can be no assurance that favorable DIS action will not 
be delayed, or will be forthcoming.  Management believes that such a
development should not, in any case, have any material adverse effect on the 
Company in the near term.

Management believes that cash on hand as of August 31, 1995 ($328,400), 
careful management of operating costs and cash disbursements, and accounts 
receivable financing to alleviate short term cash requirements should enable 
the Company to meet its cash requirements through May 31, 1996.  Under notice 
from the holder of the real estate mortgage on the Company's Orlando facility, 
under which $243,900 was outstanding at August 31, 1995, amounts

                                 11

outstanding under that mortgage were stated to become prepayable on August 22, 
1995.  The Company is attempting to negotiate an extension of this due date to 
allow it to continue to investigate its options, which include pursuing 
potential refinancing; however, to date its present mortgage holder has not 
granted the extension of the due date.  In the event that such mortgage 
cannot be refinanced or extended, the Company may have additional short term 
cash requirements.  However, the Company believes that should the Orlando 
facility be foreclosed upon by the mortgage holder, the Orlando operations can 
be absorbed by the excess capacity in the Johnstown facility without material 
expense or disruption.  The Orlando mortgage has been classified as a current 
liability in the Company's financial statements; otherwise, the financial 
statements do not include any further adjustments that might result from the 
outcome of this uncertainty.
