1.    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
      accounts of Kollmorgen Corporation (the "Company") and all of its
      majority owned subsidiaries.  

  In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial
  statements included herein contain all adjustments, consisting only of
  normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's
  and its consolidated subsidiaries' financial condition at March 31, 1997
  and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods
  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  The results of operations for interim
  periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
  the full year.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
  Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information.  These
  interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
  Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
  1996.  


2.    Effective December 31, 1996, the Company combined its Macbeth division
      with the Color Control Systems business of Gretag AG and received 48% of
      the shares in the Swiss holding company which controls the two
      businesses (the  Joint Venture ).  Accordingly, for the quarter ended
      March 31, 1997, the Macbeth division is not included in the accompanying
      financial statements, but instead the Company is accounting for its
      interest in the Joint Venture using the equity method.

    and diluted earnings per share (EPS).  Basic EPS excludes dilutive
    securities and is computed by dividing income available to common
    stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
    for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
    occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
    exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
    common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Basic EPS
    replaces primary EPS.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully
    diluted EPS under the existing rules.  The Company will adopt SFAS 128
    as of December 31, 1997 and upon adoption, will restate all prior period
    EPS data presented.  Basic EPS calculated under the provisions of SFAS
    128 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 would have been
    $.21 and $.14, respectively.  


5.  In April, 1997 the Company purchased additional shares of Servotronix to
    increase its ownership of Servotronix from 25% to 81%.  The Company will
    consolidate Servotronix prospectively.

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                        and Results of Operations


                         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    In the first quarter of 1996 the Company sold a significant portion of
its instrumentation business located in France.  Effective December 31, 1996,
the Company combined its Macbeth division with the Color Control Systems
business of Gretag AG and received 48% of the shares in the Swiss holding
company which controls the two businesses (the  Joint Venture ). 
Accordingly, for the quarter ended, the Macbeth division is not included in
the accompanying financial statements, but instead the Company is accounting
for its interest in the Joint Venture using the equity method.  For
comparative purposes, both the French instrumentation business and the Joint
Venture will be referred to as the  Businesses Divested .  The Businesses
Divested represented a significant portion of the Company's Electro-Optical
Instruments segment which had been discussed separately from the Company's
motion technology segment in the prior year.  Since comparative information
cannot be presented for the Electro-Optical Instruments segment, the Company
is discontinuing segment discussion.  

    Revenues declined $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
as compared to the same period a year ago.  Excluding the Businesses
Divested, first quarter revenues increased $1.7 million or 3% as compared to
the first quarter of 1996.  The increase reflects the strong performance of
the Company s engineering consulting business, Proto-Power, which has seen
increased demand for its specialized services to the utility industry.  This
increase more than offset a decline in revenues of the Company's aerospace
and defense business which was principally the result of a weakening in the
value of the dollar to the French franc, and a decrease in revenues
recognized on long term military contracts.  

    Gross margin as a percent of sales declined in the first quarter of 1997
as compared to the same period in 1996 from 33.7% to 30.2%.  Excluding the
Businesses Divested, gross margin decreased from 31.1% to 30.2%.  The slight
decline in margin was attributable to a decline in margin of the Company s
engineering consulting services.  Although engineering services revenues
increased, staffing costs rose to support the higher level of business.  

    Sales and marketing expenses declined $2.6 million in the first quarter
of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996.  As a percentage of sales,
sales and marketing expenses decreased from 12.8% to 9.3% as a result of the
Businesses Divested.  When Businesses Divested are excluded, the result is a
decline of  $0.3 million and a decline as a percentage of sales from 10.3% in
the first quarter of 1996 to 9.3% in the first quarter of 1997.  This decline
reflects decreased commission expenses due to an increase in direct sales
personnel at the Company's domestic motion technology business, and lower bid
costs associated with the Company s military business.  

<PAGE>
<PAGE>10



    General and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged from
the first quarter of 1996.  Excluding the Businesses Divested, general and
administrative expenses increased $0.7 million to 11.4% of sales as compared
to 10.3% of sales in 1996.  The increase reflects the costs associated with
the Company s implementation of new information systems and the increased
expenses associated with the Company s Proto-Power division.  

    Research and development expenses declined in the first quarter by $1.3
million.  Excluding the Businesses Divested, research and development
expenses declined by $0.2 million.  

    Income from operations of $2.8 million  remained unchanged from the
first quarter of 1996.  Interest expense was relatively unchanged from the
first quarter of 1996.  

    In 1996 the Company had a zero tax rate which reflected the utilization
of net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits.  Primarily as a
result of the divestiture of the Macbeth division, the Company s tax credit
carryforwards have been utilized, therefore the Company has used a blended
tax rate on its worldwide income of approximately 28% for 1997.  

    The Company s 48% share of the after-tax profits of the Joint Venture
were $0.7 million for the first quarter of 1997.  The results of the
Company s Macbeth division were consolidated in the Company s results in
1996.  

    Bookings increased $4.0 million or 8% during the quarter as compared to
the first quarter of 1996 (excluding the Businesses Divested).  The increase
reflects improved bookings for the Company's engineering consulting services
and for domestic military products.  

    Backlog increased in the first quarter from December 31, 1996 by $2.6
million reflecting orders received for submarine periscopes and optical
sights for naval surface warships.  

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company s cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.5 million during
the first three months of 1997.  Net cash provided by operating activities
generated $2.7 million.  Accounts receivable generated $1.5 million in cash
during the first quarter reflecting strong collections and a reduction in
days sales outstanding.  Inventories, recoverable amounts under long term
contracts, and prepaid expenses generated $1.1 million in cash during the
first quarter.  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities used $4.6 million in
cash reflecting scheduled payments to be made in 1997 and approximately $1.5
million for the refinancing of a building lease on more favorable terms to
the Company.  Additionally, the Company s Electro-Optical division used cash
of $1.7 million for payments in connection with long-term contracts and for
the procurement of materials.  

<PAGE>
<PAGE>11



    Investing activities used $0.9 million in cash for the purchase of
capital assets, primarily in connection with the start up of the Company s
Vietnam manufacturing facility which commenced operations on a limited basis
during the first quarter of 1997.  

    Financing activities used $1.0 million in cash principally for scheduled
payments of the Company s long term debt, and for dividends on common stock.  

    In April, 1997, the Company paid $5.4 million in cash to purchase shares
in Servotronix Ltd. in Israel, increasing its ownership of Servotronix from
25% to 81%.  

    The Company believes that it can generate sufficient cash from
operations and its current borrowing line of credit to finance its cash
requirements for capital expenditures, sinking fund payments, working capital
needs, and acquisition commitments for the next twelve months.  

    This filing contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ significantly from
the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might
cause such a difference are set forth in the Company's Form 8-K dated
January 27, 1997.
