                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Participants and the
Hadson Corporation
Employee Benefit Plan Committee of
Hadson Corporation Employee 401(k)
Savings Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and of changes in net assets available for plan benefits present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of the Hadson Corporation
Employee 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1992 and 1993, and
the changes in its net assets for the two years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in Schedules
I and II, consisting of a schedule of assets held for investment purposes and a
schedule of reportable transactions are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not required parts of the basic financial statements, but they
are additional information required by ERISA.   The Fund Information in the
statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
benefits and the changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.
The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

         The following description provides only general information related to
         the Hadson Corporation Employee 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan").  The
         Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
         Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  Participants should refer to the
         summary Plan description or the Plan document for a more complete
         explanation of the Plan's provisions.  The Plan document is
         controlling at all times.

         Background

         The Plan, originally called the Ultrasystems Incorporated Employee
         Stock Ownership Plan, was adopted by the Board of Directors of
         Ultrasystems Incorporated ("Ultrasystems") effective February 1, 1982.
         Since its adoption, the Plan has been amended on various occasions
         including five complete restatements of the Plan, one generally
         effective as of February 1, 1985, a second generally effective as of
         February 1, 1987, a third generally effective as of January 1, 1989,
         and a fourth amendment to the Plan generally effective as of September
         1, 1989 (the "Second 1989 Restatement").  A fifth amendment to the
         Plan was generally effective as of January 1, 1992 (the "1992
         Restatement").

         Some significant provisions of restatements prior to the Second 1989
         Restatement are:

         (i)     Employees are allowed to roll over distributions from other 
                 qualified plans to the Plan;
         (ii)    Participants are allowed to borrow up to 50 percent of their
                 vested balance in the Plan; 
         (iii)   Distributions of benefits from the Plan may be in the form of 
                 a life annuity; 
         (iv)    In-service withdrawals are permitted at age 59-1/2, and 
         (v)     Participants are allowed to defer distribution of their 
                 benefits under the Plan until April 1 of the calendar year
                 following the calendar year in which the Participant attains
                 age 70-1/2.

         Second 1989 Restatement

         The Plan was amended by the Second 1989 Restatement to:

         (i)     Provide for the participation in the Plan by all eligible
                 employees of Hadson;
         (ii)    Provide for the merger into the Plan of certain Hadson
                 employee benefit plans;
         (iii)   Change the sponsor of the Plan from Ultrasystems to Hadson, and
         (iv)    Change the name of the Plan from Ultrasystems Incorporated
                 Employee Stock Ownership/401(k) Plan to Hadson Corporation
                 Employee Stock Ownership/401(k) Plan.

         Participants of the merged Hadson plans began making contributions to
         the Plan in September 1989 and the account balances associated with
         these Hadson plans were transferred into the Plan on January 1, 1990.

         The Second 1989 Restatement also amended the Plan to permit all
         non-union employees to become eligible for participation one year
         after their date of hire during which the employee completes 1000 or
         more hours of service.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued):

         The 1992 Restatement eliminated the ESOP provisions of the Plan.  The
         amendment also adjusted the employer matching contribution formula of
         the remaining Profit Sharing Portion of the Plan to permit a higher
         potential matching by the Company (3 percent to 8 percent based upon
         years of service).  The vesting schedule for the employer matching
         contributions was changed so that all employees vest over a four year
         period of service.

         The Plan was also amended by the 1992 Restatement to:

         (i)     Provide for the participation in the Plan by all eligible
                 employees of Hadson on the first day of the month following
                 date of hire, and
         (ii)    Change the name of the Plan from Hadson Corporation Employee
                 Stock Ownership/401(k) Plan to Hadson Corporation Employee
                 401(k) Savings Plan.

         Sale of Subsidiaries

         In connection with the sale of certain subsidiaries, the Plan was
         further amended during 1990 and 1991 to include provisions related to
         the sales.  The Plan was amended on October 9, 1990 for the sale of
         HRB, February 15, 1991 for the sale of the operations of Ultrasystems
         Defense Inc. ("UDI") and on December 11, 1991 for the sale of
         substantially all of the Power Systems Group ("Power Systems").  In
         order to give effect to the sales, the Plan was amended to:

         (i)     Terminate the ability of HRB, UDI and Power System's
                 participants to participate or accrue further benefits in the
                 Plan;
         (ii)    Provide for 100% vesting of the contributions made by Hadson
                 to HRB, UDI and Power System's participants, and 
         (iii)   Provide for a contribution by Hadson to each HRB, UDI and 
                 Power System's participant actively employed on the effective 
                 date of the sale.  The contribution was equal to 4% of such 
                 participants compensation from January 1 through September 30, 
                 1990 for HRB, January 1 through February 15, 1991 for UDI and 
                 January 1 through November 30, 1991 for Power Systems.

         Contributions

         Prior to the 1992 Restatement, the Company was required to contribute
         to the Plan for each fiscal year an amount, never less than 4 percent
         of the total eligible compensation of all participants for the fiscal
         year, set by the Board of Directors.  These mandatory contributions
         are held in the ESOP Portion of the Plan and must be invested
         primarily in the Common Stock of the Company.  The Board of Directors
         authorized a 4 percent mandatory contribution for each of the two
         years ended December 31, 1991.  As previously stated, the 1992
         Restatement eliminated the ESOP portion of the Plan.

         Under the Profit Sharing Portion of the Plan, each participant may
         elect to defer the receipt of a whole percentage of his compensation
         (up to a limit set by the Plan governing committee) and to have that
         amount contributed directly by the Company to the Plan.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued):

         In addition to participant deferrals, participants may also 
         contribute, on an after-tax basis, portions of their compensation (up
         to a maximum percentage set by the Plan committee) to the Plan.  The
         Company is required to match a participant's Plan deferrals and
         contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to a maximum percentage
         of the participant's compensation determined by the Board of Directors
         (never less than 2 percent prior to January 1, 1992; 3 percent to 8
         percent, based on the participant's years of service, from and after
         January 1, 1992).  For investment purposes, these matching
         contributions are aggregated with participant deferrals and
         contributions in the Profit Sharing Portion of the Plan and are
         eligible for investment, at the discretion of participants, in any of
         four alternative investment funds administered under the Plan (see (3)
         Investment Programs).  Hadson matched the employee contributions on a
         dollar-for- dollar basis of up to 8 percent of the employees
         contribution during the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1993.

         Vesting

         All assets in a participant's account arising from participant
         contributions or transfers from predecessor plans are fully vested at
         all times.  Assets in a participants account arising from Hadson's
         contributions vest based on the employee's number of years of credited
         service, all employees vest over a four year period of service.  Prior
         to the 1992 Restatement, employee's accounts previously in certain of
         the Hadson plans vested at 25 percent a year over a four year schedule
         and all remaining employee's accounts vest on a six year schedule,
         which begins after two years of service with the Company and gradually
         increases, so that after six years of service all Company
         contributions are fully vested.

         Hadson's contributions become fully vested in the event of the
         participant's total disability, death, normal retirement, or if Hadson
         terminates the Plan.  Any forfeitures of a participant's non-vested
         portion after withdrawal or distribution are used to pay Plan expenses
         as compensation for the services of the Trustee and legal expenses.
         Forfeitures in excess of Plan expenses, if any, are allocated to the
         remaining participants of the Plan at the end of each fiscal year.

         Loans

         Amounts may be borrowed from a participant's account except for the
         portion allocated to the mandatory contribution account.  The amount
         of the loan may not be less than $1,000 and may not exceed 50% of a
         participant's vested interest in such accounts.  It may also not
         exceed when added to the outstanding balance of any previous loans
         from the Plan, the lesser of the following amount:

         (1)     Fifty thousand dollars reduced by the excess of (a) the
                 highest outstanding balance of a participant's loans from the
                 Plan during the one year period ending on the day prior to the
                 date on which such loan is made, over (b) the outstanding
                 balance of a participant's loans from the Plan on the date on
                 which the loan is made, or

         (2)     50% of a participant's vested interest in the Plan excluding
                 the mandatory contribution account.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued):

         The Plan requires that the loan be adequately secured.  Loan
         repayments are deducted from a participant's paycheck each pay period.
         The loans are required to be repaid with substantially level
         amortization over a period of not more than five years except for a
         loan used to acquire a principal residence which may be repaid over a
         period of not more than 15 years.  The loan is required to bear an
         interest rate equal to 1% over Chase Manhattan Prime Rate rounded up
         to the nearest one quarter percentage point.

(2)      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         Financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
         accounting.  Investments are accounted for at market value as
         determined by the Plan Trustee.  Shares of Hadson common stock,
         investments in the Morley Capital Guaranteed Investments Contract
         Income Fund, Provident Investment Flexible Growth Equity Fund, and
         investments in the Shearson Lehman Growth Balanced Fund are recorded
         at the latest reported market price on the last business day of the
         Plan year plus accrued interest.

         Accumulated Benefits For Terminated Employees

         During 1992, the Plan changed its method of accounting for obligations
         for benefit payments to terminated employees.  The change was made to
         comply with guidance for accounting and disclosure by employee benefit
         plans.  As a result of this change, accumulated benefits for persons
         who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan are no longer
         reported as a liability of the Plan in the statement of net assets
         available for plan benefits.

         The accompanying financials have been restated to reflect this change
         in accounting method.  As of December 31, 1992 and 1993, the Plan had
         benefit obligations due participants who had withdrawn from the Plan
         of $529,000 and $163,000, respectively.

(3)      INVESTMENT PROGRAMS:

         Participants are allowed to invest the sum of their future
         contributions and Hadson's matching contributions in any of four
         investment alternatives, in increments of 10 percent (25 percent
         before January 1, 1992) through regular payroll deductions.  The four
         investment choices available after February 1, 1988 and prior to the
         1992 Restatement for participants and matching contributions included:

         (1)     Hadson Common Stock Fund  -  Contributions to this fund are
         invested in Hadson Common Stock.

         (2)     Guaranteed Investment Contracts Fund  -  This fund invests in
         guaranteed investment contracts, usually of a three or four year term,
         issued by insurance companies, which earn a pooled rate of interest
         over the period of the contracts.

         (3)     Bankers Trust Equity Index Fund  -  This fund is designed to
         generally track the performance of the 500 common stocks in the
         Standard & Poor's Index.

         INVESTMENT PROGRAMS (Continued):

         (4)     Fidelity Investments Magellan Fund  -  This fund is an
         actively managed, broadly diversified equity fund.  The fund invests
         in the stocks of both well known and lesser known domestic and foreign
         companies.  Fidelity Investments has agreed to eliminate its normal 3
         percent sales charge for participants who invest in this fund.

         In connection with the 1992 Restatement, a new Plan Trustee and a new
         Plan Administrator were appointed.  The investment choices available
         to participants subsequent to January 1, 1992, as a result of the
         change of Trustee, are as follows:

         (1)     Hadson Common Stock Fund  -  Contributions to this fund are
                 invested in Hadson Common Stock.

         (2)     Morley Capital Guaranteed Investments Contract Income Fund  -
                 This fund invests in guaranteed investment contracts issued by
                 insurance companies and earns a pooled rate of interest over
                 the period of the contracts.

         (3)     Provident Investment Flexible Growth Balanced Fund  -  This
                 fund is designed to invest in a diversified portfolio which
                 consists of growth stocks, bonds and cash.

         (4)     Shearson Lehman Growth Equity Fund  -  This fund invests in
                 companies which have above-average market appreciation
                 potential and is designed to achieve earnings through capital
                 appreciation.  It is designed to track the performance of the
                 Standard & Poor's Index.

(4)      INCOME TAXES:

         Based on the June 19, 1991, determination letter from the Internal
         Revenue Service, the Plan, as restated effective January 1, 1989,
         qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
         exempt from federal income tax.  Since that time, the Plan has been
         amended on two occasions as discussed in (1) Description of the Plan.
         Management believes the Plan is currently designed and operated in
         compliance with the applicable requirements of  the Internal Revenue
         Code and therefore remains exempt from taxation.  Participants to the
         Plan are not subject to Federal income taxes on account balances
         arising from employers contributions, before tax employee deposits or
         accrued income until he or she receives a distribution or makes a
         withdrawal from the Plan.
