                                    PART I
                  
Item 1.     BUSINESS
            --------
                
                                   General
                                   -------

                  Galileo Electro-Optics Corporation (the "Company") was
            incorporated in Delaware in 1973 as the successor to a business     
            which was founded in 1959.
         
                  Since its formation in 1973, the Company has been engaged in
            developing, manufacturing and marketing fiberoptic and      
            electro-optic components which transmit, sense or intensify light
            or images and a variety of components for office copiers.  In
            fiscal year 1995, the Company's products were sold primarily to
            original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for use in electronic
            imaging, scientific, analytical, office products and medical
            applications (approximately 95% of sales) and in military night
            vision devices (approximately 5% of sales).  The Company's
            capabilities in the formulation of specialty glass and experience
            in fiberoptic and electro-optic technology are fundamental to the
            development and manufacture of its products.  Although the Company
            purchases a large quantity of its glass requirements, it also owns
            and operates a specialty glass manufacturing plant which enables it
            to develop experimental glass formulations and respond quickly to
            unique customer requirements.
         
                  The Company operates in a single industry segment.  Prior to
            fiscal year 1995, the Company had segregated its operations into    
            five product lines for marketing and manufacturing purposes. As a
            result of the sale of a substantial portion of the Fused Fiberoptic
            Products business in fiscal year 1994 as described further in the
            Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations under Item 7 of this report, the
            Electro-Optic Components business was eliminated and the Company's
            businesses were classified into the following four product lines in
            fiscal year 1995.
               
               
            Office Products
            ---------------

                  Sales of Office Products accounted for 54%, 49% and 40% of the
            Company's net sales for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993,   
            respectively.  These products are used in a variety of applications
            to improve the reliability and performance of high-volume,
            high-speed copiers and laser printers as well as high-performance
            desk-top copiers and ion deposition printers. Xerox Corporation is
            the principal customer for these products.
         
                  The Company's highest volume product is the dicorotron, for
            which it is currently the sole source of supply to Xerox.  The      
            dicorotron, which utilizes the Company's proprietary glass-coated
            wire technology, generates ions which charge a copier's
            photoreceptor during the image transfer process.  The quality,
            cost-effectiveness, reliability and extended product life of the
            dicorotron have been key to the success of the product.  The
            Company also supplies other electromechanical assemblies to Xerox
            which are used in a variety of copiers.  The majority of the Office
            Products sold by the Company to Xerox are used as replacement units
            in existing copiers.

        Scientific Detector Products
        ----------------------------
         
                Sales of Scientific Detector Products accounted for 34%, 35%
        and 34% of the Company's net sales for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and
        1993, respectively.  The principal products within Scientific Detector
        Products are the following:
         
                        SINGLE CHANNEL DETECTORS are small glass tubes with
                semiconducting inner surfaces which emit electrons when struck
                by sub-atomic particles, photons or other electrons.  This
                electron emission process is repeated many times along the
                length of the tube in a multiplying sequence, whereby one
                electron, ion or photon entering at one end of the tube
                generates a pulse containing millions of electrons at the other
                end of the tube, which pulse can easily be measured as it
                emerges.  The major application of this product is as the
                detecting element in a mass spectrometer.  Mass spectrometers
                identify the atoms of unknown elements by determining atomic
                mass through the measurement of velocity or path of movement
                and are used in such industries as biotechnology and
                pharmaceutical as well as in drug screening applications.  A
                detector recognizes the time or the place at which an atom
                exits from the vacuum chamber of the spectrometer and thereby
                permits the identification of the unknown atom.
         
                        The Company's Channeltron[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] and 
                Spiraltron[TRADEMARK] Single Channel Detectors have replaced 
                the complex multi-electrode structure of older detectors and 
                require only a single two-terminal power supply.  The 
                simplicity of the Company's Detectors, their mechanical 
                ruggedness and their resistance to contamination in service 
                have led to their adoption as the preferred detector in mass 
                spectrometers, ultraviolet spectrometers and in a growing range
                of surface-scanning instruments.  The Company's Detectors are 
                used by all major mass spectrometer manufacturers, and, in many
                cases, the Company is the single source.
         
                        DETECTOR ASSEMBLIES AND SYSTEMS consist of multichannel
                electron multipliers, which multiply electrons that enter the
                channels of the device, mated with fiberoptic, mechanical and
                electronic components.  These value-added devices are used as
                ion, X-ray or particle detectors in scientific instrumentation. 
                The Company provides these detector assemblies primarily to the
                major manufacturers of analytical instrumentation and to the
                research community.
               
                        MICROCHANNEL PLATES (MCPs) are multichannel electron
                multipliers.  The initial manufacturing process of MCPs is
                similar to that of a Fused Fiberoptic Product in that a small
                wafer-thin fused fiberoptic disc is produced.  However, MCPs
                are further processed by etching out the core of each fiber to
                produce hollow channels, approximately 10 microns in diameter,
                the surfaces of which are semiconducting.  Each channel serves
                as a microscopic single channel electron multiplier,
                multiplying the electrons that enter the channel in order to
                intensify faint electron images.
         
                        The Company manufactures an improved, long-life MCP
                with enhanced gain stability, resulting in improved brightness
                and a significantly longer life expectancy than other MCPs
                available in the marketplace.  The Company's MCPs are used
                primarily in military night vision devices as an integral part
                of the image intensification process.  MCPs are also employed
                in electron and field-ion microscopes and in high-speed
                oscilloscopes.

        Remote Sensor Products
        ----------------------
 
                Sales of Remote Sensor Products accounted for 3%, 2% and 3% of
        the Company's net sales for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993,
        respectively.  Remote Sensor Products provide technically advanced,
        cost-effective solutions for industrial process monitoring with
        on-line, remote, infrared spectroscopy systems. Applications are found
        in markets where cost controls and manufacturing yields are critical to
        profitability, including the chemical, food, beverage, petrochemical,
        semiconductor, environmental, textile and pharmaceutical industries.
         
                The Company's infrared transmitting fiberoptic cables are
        integrated with on-line sensors which identify a material's chemical
        signature and transmit that data to a spectrometer for analysis.
        Applications for this technology include raw materials screening,
        moisture content and octane measurements, and the monitoring of a
        variety of manufacturing processes.  The Company's IR Link[TRADEMARK] 
        Systems, a family of integrated sensors and accessories, are valuable 
        for monitoring quality and also reduce costs by moving process analysis
        from the laboratory directly to the manufacturing line.  IR Link
        Multi-Channel Systems allow up to seven sensing points to be monitored
        using just one analytical instrument, resulting in process analysis
        systems which provide the lowest cost-per-measurement.
         
                The Company also manufactures several different probes, sensors
        or cells, depending upon the specific application. High-pressure liquid
        and gas cells are designed to monitor heated and pressurized liquid and
        gas side-streams.  Web sensors monitor materials, such as films,
        plastics and polymers, while immersible transmission probes can be
        installed on-line or dipped into liquid samples or liquid streams, and
        diffuse reflectance systems analyze samples such as powders, slurries
        and textiles.  These accessories help provide immediate, analytical
        feedback which enables customers to make instantaneous adjustments to
        their processes and allows them to reduce costs, improve quality and
        raise productivity.
         
         
        Medical Products
        ----------------
 
                Sales of Medical Products accounted for 9%, 14% and 23% of the
        Company's net sales for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 
        The principal products within Medical Products are the following:
         
                        ENDOSCOPES are used for minimally invasive surgery and
                use a combination of glass rods and plastic lenses resulting in
                a high-quality, low-cost device in single-use or limited reuse
                applications for arthroscopic surgery.  Other endoscopes in
                prototype development use the Company's patented Fractal
                Fiberoptics[TRADEMARK] architecture and Integral Contrast 
                Enhancement, ICE[TRADEMARK], technology to create fiberoptics 
                that are defect-free, producing clear, sharp images for 
                the surgeon.
         
                        As a result of improvements in the manufacturing
                process, the Company has developed the Galaxy endoscope which
                incorporates improvements to the Company's original disposable
                endoscope.  These improvements facilitate the use of this
                product in the limited reuse and reusable endoscope markets.
                The Company currently has permission from the FDA to market
                several of its endoscopes -- creating the opportunity to offer
                products directly to end-users and speed time-to-market for its
                OEM partners.

GALILEO ELECTRO-OPTICS CORPORATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         
                        FUSED FIBEROPTIC PRODUCTS are formed by fusing
                large numbers of optical fibers together to form a rigid
                structure containing several million fibers per square inch. 
                These products have the unique characteristic of transferring
                an image on one surface to the opposite surface with minimal
                loss of resolution.  The most common form of these products is
                known as a fiberoptic faceplate, a circular or rectangular
                optical plate made in varying sizes and thicknesses and
                finished to optical specifications.  Fiberoptic faceplates are
                frequently used in electron tubes, particularly in military
                night vision image intensifier tubes, to preserve the detail of
                optical images transmitted through them.  In specialty camera
                applications, fiberoptic faceplates are used to extend the
                focal plane of a camera to accommodate different films and
                Polaroid film attachments.
         
                        Since the sale of a substantial portion of the
                Fused Fiberoptic Products business in fiscal year 1994, the
                Company has been phasing down this product line and expects to
                stop manufacturing Fused Fiberoptic Products early in fiscal
                year 1996.
         
                        FLEXIBLE FIBEROPTIC PRODUCTS are used to transmit light
                ("lightguides") or images ("imagescopes") in a flexible format
                and employ much longer fibers than do Fused Fiberoptic
                Products.  Lightguides are used to supply remote illumination
                in flexible probes in a variety of lengths and formats
                depending upon customer requirements.  Lightguides can also be
                used as sensors to detect signals, position, dimensions, images
                and many other physical phenomena.  The applications for
                lightguides and sensors range from counting, positioning and
                dimensional measurements to laser delivery systems and remote
                spectroscopy.  A remote spectroscopy system makes it possible
                to take a measurement of chemical constituents of a sample
                on-line and on a real-time basis using fiberoptic cables to
                transfer the information to the spectrometer. Outside the
                visible light spectrum, lightguides fabricated from ultraviolet
                transmitting glasses are used for the curing of resins. 
                Imagescopes are image transfer devices capable of monitoring
                remote events and inspecting otherwise inaccessible or
                hazardous areas.  Imagescopes are used in a variety of
                applications such as tank sights, periscopes and industrial
                endoscopes.
         
         
         
                       Research and New Product Development
                       ------------------------------------

                The Company's scientists and engineers conduct research and
        development in glass, fiberoptic and electro-optic technologies to
        develop new products and to enhance and expand applications for
        existing products.  The Company's expenditures for research and
        development were approximately $3,054,000, $3,685,000 and $4,764,000 in
        fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

                                     ---------

                The Company's strategy is to supply technologically advanced
        fiberoptic and electro-optic components and electromechanical
        assemblies.  Customers include large OEMs and end-users of products
        produced by such OEMs.  The Company is continuing to broaden and
        solidify its technical relationship with its customers.  Marketing and
        sales activities are focused on technical support of existing products,
        development of future products and technologies, and on providing
        cost-effective solutions to complex problems.

                                     ---------

                Sales to Xerox Corporation were 51.9% of net sales in fiscal
        year 1995.  In total, the Company's top twenty customers accounted for
        80.5% of sales.
         
         
                                   Export Sales
                                   ------------

                Export sales to foreign customers amounted to approximately
        $6,284,000, $5,060,000 and $5,857,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and
        1993, respectively, principally in Europe and Japan.  In addition,
        sales to domestic affiliates of foreign customers and to domestic
        customers, both for export by the purchaser, amounted to approximately
        $325,000, $837,000 and $710,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993,
        respectively.
         
         
                            Raw Materials and Supplies
                            --------------------------

                The principal raw materials and supplies used by the Company in
        the manufacture of its products are glass tubing and glass core bars,
        chemicals for glass manufacture, and purchased parts for commercial
        assemblies.  The Company has not experienced any shortages in the past
        and does not anticipate any future shortages or unavailability of these
        items.  Most of these items are available from alternative sources.  In
        order to maintain a competitive advantage in quality and price, the
        Company has determined that it is economically attractive to purchase
        high quality optical glass from a major domestic source and is
        purchasing the majority of its glass from this supplier.  The Company
        has maintained its own in-house capability to produce these glasses and
        other lower volume compositions and to facilitate research and
        development of new glasses.

                                   -------

                While the Company possesses many patents which relate to its
         technology, it does not believe that the protection offered by these
         patents is of material importance to the success of its business.  The
         Company believes that its success depends primarily on its development,
         manufacturing and marketing skills.

                                 -----------

                The Company's competitive position depends primarily upon the
         technological development of its products, as well as service, quality
         and price.  Some of the Company's competitors are divisions of major
         corporations, including Schott Glaswerke and Litton Industries, Inc.,
         which have greater financial resources than the Company.

         employees, none of whom is a party to a collective bargaining agreement
         with the Company.  Of these employees, 166 were engaged in direct
         manufacturing, maintenance, engineering, quality assurance and related
         manufacturing support functions, 14 in sales and marketing and 24 in

         glass plant, draw towers, clean rooms, furnaces and ovens, extruding,
         etching, grinding and polishing equipment, and assembly, research, test
         and inspection equipment principally for manufacturing Office Products,
         Medical Products and Remote Sensor Products. The third building is used
         primarily for manufacturing Scientific Detector Products.
         
                In Forest, Virginia, the Company owns a 61,000 square foot
         manufacturing facility on 51 acres of land which it purchased in fiscal
         year 1988.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1993, the Company
         decided to consolidate its manufacturing operations in Sturbridge,
         Massachusetts.  This consolidation was completed in the first half of
         fiscal year 1994, and the Forest, Virginia, facility has been for sale
         since that time.  The Company is in the process of finalizing
         negotiations for the sale of the facility, and it expects the sale to
         be completed early in fiscal year 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         
Fiscal Year 1995 Compared to Fiscal Year 1994
- ---------------------------------------------
         
Net sales in fiscal year 1995 of $34,043,000 increased 13% from sales of
$30,241,000 in fiscal year 1994 with sales volume increasing in three of the
Company's four businesses.  Commercial sales increased 18% from fiscal year 1994
and set a new record of $32,337,000, while military sales declined 37%. 
Military sales represented 5% of total sales in 1995 versus 9% of total sales in
1994.  Operating profit for 1995 amounted to $836,000 versus an operating loss
of $1,296,000 in 1994 with a net profit of $1,110,000, or $.17 per share, as
compared to a net loss of $1,121,000, or $.17 per share, in 1994.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         
The improvement in profitability was the result of higher sales volume in most
of the Company's businesses, a favorable sales mix, selective price increases,
the elimination of certain unprofitable product lines and the reduction of
fixed costs, primarily due to the consolidation of the Company's manufacturing
operations in fiscal year 1994.
         
In the Office Products business, sales increased 24% from the previous  year
and reached a new high of $18,226,000.  These products include dicorotron
glass-coated wire assemblies, which utilize the Company's proprietary
technology to generate ions which charge the photoreceptor in office copiers,
as well as a variety of other components for copiers and laser and ion
deposition printers.  Most Office Products sales are for the replacement
market.  Xerox Corporation is the largest customer for these products as well
as the Company's largest customer accounting for 52% of the Company's total
revenues in 1995.  Although the Company is currently the sole-source supplier
of dicorotrons to Xerox Corporation, there is no long-term commitment by Xerox
to purchase these components from the Company and no assurance that Xerox will
not develop alternative sources of supply in the future.  Demand for these
products continued to be strong in fiscal year 1995 as they were designed into
new products and the installed base of office machines continued to grow.  In
addition, moderate price increases were implemented for selective products, and
several products were phased out because they did not meet the Company's
profitability criteria.  In fiscal year 1995, the Company established three new
customers for its Office Products and started to explore new applications for
its glass-coated wire technology.
         
Sales of Scientific Detector Products also increased from fiscal year 1994,
being up $1,155,000 or 11%.  This business includes Channeltron single-channel
detectors, used primarily in mass spectrometers, microchannel plates and
microchannel plate-based detectors and assemblies.  Shipments of Channeltrons
and microchannel plates were up 15% and 14%, respectively, from the previous
year while sales of microchannel plate assemblies were essentially flat. 
Channeltron shipments increased due in part to strong demand for detectors by
the semiconductor industry and the success of a new mass spectrometer detector. 
Also, billings for engineering services were up 10% as the Company completed
its two-year, $1.9 million contract it was awarded in 1993 by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology to develop new fabrication methods for
microchannel plates.  The product mix for this business was favorable due to
higher sales of Channeltrons and microchannel plates and the above average
incremental profitability associated with these products.
         
Sales of Remote Sensor Products were up $410,000 or 65% in fiscal year 1995
versus 1994.  This business includes fiberoptic cables, sensors and systems for
a variety of industrial process and telecommunications applications.  Several
new products were introduced to the market place this year which contributed to
the higher sales, with the Hand-Held Diffuse Reflectance Probe, which is
designed to perform incoming inspection of raw materials, being particularly
well received.  Good progress was also made in fiscal year 1995 in the
development of the Fluorolase technology for use as fiber amplifiers in
telecommunications applications.  This business, which is currently the
smallest of the Company's four businesses, is a developing business and was
unprofitable at the operating profit level.
         
The Medical business includes fused products, flexible fiberoptic       
products and medical endoscopes.  In fiscal year 1994, fused products and
flexible products were part of the Electro-Optic Components business which was
merged into the Company's present four businesses. In fiscal year 1995, sales
of fused products declined 53% from the previous year due to the sale of a
substantial portion of that business in fiscal year 1994 while shipments of
flexible fiberoptics increased 40% from 1994.

GALILEO ELECTRO-OPTICS CORPORATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         
Sales of medical endoscopes for minimally invasive surgery applications were
essentially unchanged from the 1994 level.  The Company  continued to improve
its existing products and has been developing several low-cost, high-quality,
single-use and limited re-use medical endoscopes which have successfully
undergone clinical trials and are now being actively marketed through medical
instrument distributors in the United States as well as abroad.  Significant
progress was made in the development of the Company's Fractal Fiberoptics
imaging conduit which is being designed into small diameter, low-cost
endoscopes. Sales of medical endoscopes constituted a small percentage of the
Company's sales in fiscal year 1995, but the Company expects these sales to
grow in fiscal year 1996 and beyond.  The Company's medical endoscopes business
is a developing business and is not yet profitable at the operating profit
level.
         
The consolidation of manufacturing operations, which involved the       
relocation of the Medical, Office and Flexible Fiberoptic products from Forest,
Virginia to Sturbridge, Massachusetts and which was completed in fiscal year
1994, impacted fiscal year 1995 favorably due to the reduction of fixed costs
and better utilization of capacity.  The consolidation was also largely
responsible for achieving a record level of productivity, as measured by sales
per employee, which averaged $162,000 for the entire year and reached $191,000
for the fourth quarter.  The reserves related to the consolidation, which were
established at the end of 1993, have been adequate since the expenditures have
been consistent with management's expectations. In fiscal year 1995, these
expenditures consisted primarily of maintenance costs for the Forest, Virginia
facility which has been actively marketed and is expected to be sold in the
early part of fiscal year 1996. At the end of fiscal year 1995, the reserve
balance was $290,000 which is expected to be adequate for the anticipated
ongoing expenses of that facility for a portion of fiscal year 1996.  The
Company believes that the facility is properly valued on the Company's books at
an estimate of its net realizable value.
         
         
Fiscal Year 1994 Compared to Fiscal Year 1993
- ---------------------------------------------
         
Net sales in fiscal year 1994 of $30,241,000 declined 12% from sales of 
$34,307,000 in fiscal year 1993.  This drop in revenue occurred primarily in
Medical Products which accounted for $3,120,000 of the decline.  The Company
incurred an operating loss of $1,296,000 in fiscal year 1994 versus an
operating loss of $10,512,000 the previous year.  The net loss in fiscal year
1994 amounted to $1,121,000, or $.17 per share, as compared to a net loss of
$10,262,000, or $1.60 per share, in fiscal year 1993.
         
The Company's results for fiscal year 1993 were significantly affected  by a
restructuring charge of $6,144,000 resulting from a decision to shut down its
Forest, Virginia facility and consolidate all manufacturing operations in
Sturbridge, Massachusetts.  This restructuring charge also included a write-off
of unused equipment specific to the Fused Fiberoptics business.  Without the
restructuring charge, the operating loss in fiscal year 1993 would have been
$4,368,000.  In addition, the 1993 results were affected by the adoption of
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, Employers Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, which resulted in a one-time
after tax charge of $430,000, or $.07 per share.

The consolidation of manufacturing operations, which involved the       
relocation of production lines for Medical, Office and Flexible Fiberoptic
Products from Forest, Virginia to Sturbridge, Massachusetts was completed by
the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 1994, slightly ahead of schedule
with no negative impact on deliveries or quality.  The Company added some
warehousing space and reconfigured some of its manufacturing space in
Sturbridge to accommodate the transferred operations.  Because very few of the
Forest, Virginia employees were relocated, the Company realized a reduction in
fixed costs related to staffing as well as in other areas.  The reserves
related to the consolidation which were established at the end of 1993 were
adequate since the expenditures related to this project were consistent with
management's expectations.  These reserves were reduced during fiscal year 1994
primarily as a result of cash expenditures for the purposes intended when the
reserves were established.  At the end of fiscal year 1994, the reserve balance
was $528,000.  The Company had previously estimated that the annualized cost
reduction effect of the restructuring would be approximately $3,000,000 with
some of the savings benefiting selling, engineering and administrative expenses
and the balance reducing fixed costs included in the cost of sales.  
         
The reduction in fixed costs which resulted from the consolidation of   
manufacturing operations was primarily responsible for the improvement of
profitability in the second half of fiscal year 1994.  Gross profit for fiscal
year 1994 of $7,548,000 increased $407,000 despite a decrease in sales from the
previous year.  Selling, engineering and administrative expenses declined in
fiscal year 1994 by $2,665,000, primarily as a result of cost reductions
resulting from the consolidation.  At the operating profit level, the Office
Products and Scientific Detector Products businesses were profitable.
         
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 1994, the Company       
completed the sale of a substantial portion of its Fused Fiberoptics business. 
The purchaser acquired exclusive license rights to certain technologies of the
Company related to that business.  However, the Company retained rights to its
patented Fractal Fiberoptics technology, which it continues to use in support
of the Medical Products and Scientific Detector Products businesses.  The
purchase price of the assets involved in the sale was $1,400,000.  Of this
amount, $1,271,000 was paid to the Company by the end of fiscal year 1994. 
There was no gain or loss to the Company on the transaction.  
         
Sales of components for military applications declined $664,000 in      fiscal
year 1994 to $2,725,000 or 9% of total sales, a decrease of 20% from 1993. 
Commercial sales, which amounted to $27,516,000, or 91% of total sales, were
down 11% from the previous year.
         
Sales of Office Products, consisting of dicorotron glass-coated wire    
assemblies and other components for a variety of copiers, increased to
$14,690,000 and set a new record.  During fiscal year 1994, the Company started
to manufacture several new products at rates higher than originally anticipated
in support of a new series of office machines launched by Xerox Corporation,
the Company's largest customer. Approximately 60% of the Company's sales to
Xerox were for the replacement market.

Shipments of Medical Products were down $3,120,000 versus the previous  year as
sales of endoscopes for minimally invasive surgery declined. This decline
started in the fourth quarter of 1993 when the sole customer for this product
notified the Company that its requirements would be significantly less than
anticipated.  Under a renegotiated supply agreement with this customer, the
Company has a nonexclusive license to use the endoscope technologies to develop
medical imaging devices for other customers.  The Company improved its existing
products and developed a broad line of low-cost, high-quality single-use and
limited re-use endoscopes for medical applications as well as its Microvision
borescope for non-medical uses.  Approvals were received from the FDA for two
products in fiscal year 1994, and two additional approvals were received
shortly after the end of fiscal year 1994.
         
In the Electro-Optic Components business, sales of fused fiberoptics,   
flexible fiberoptics and microchannel plates each declined approximately 10%
with the drop of military sales being the principal reason of this change. 
Sales of Fused Fiberoptics Products, which include some components for military
applications, were down also as a result of the sale of that business.  Sales
of engineering services, however, were up slightly due to billings related to
the two-year, $1.9 million contract the Company was awarded in 1993 by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop new fabrication
methods for microchannel plates.  This program made good progress.
         
Sales of Scientific Detector Products were down 10% versus the previous year,
as shipments of Channeltron single-channel detectors and microchannel
plate-based detectors and assemblies declined.  Shipments of Channeltrons were
lower primarily because of a decline in sales to Hewlett-Packard.  However, the
Company introduced a new detector in mid-1994 in an effort to regain this lost
revenue.  Finally, Remote Sensor Products sales declined 18% compared to fiscal
year 1993. Several more new products were scheduled for introduction in the
near future in both Scientific Detector and Remote Sensor Products.
         
         
         
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
         
Working capital at September 30, 1995 was $18,744,000, an increase of   
$5,775,000 from the working capital balance of $12,969,000 at September 30,
1994.  Cash and short-term investments were $8,274,000 at the end of fiscal
year 1995 as compared to $6,185,000 at the end of the previous fiscal year, for
an increase of $2,089,000.  The increase in working capital was primarily due
to the increase in cash, an increase in accounts receivable of $1,771,000 which
was principally attributable to strong sales at the end of the fiscal year and
the reclassification of the book value of the Company's Forest, Virginia
facility as a current asset. The major factors which affected the increase in
cash were an increase in working capital provided by operations partially
offset by an increase in accounts receivable.
         
Capital expenditures amounted to $988,000 versus expenditures of        
$1,352,000 in fiscal year 1994.  The Company expects that its need for capital
in 1996 will be comparable to that in fiscal year 1995.  The Company has no
long-term debt other than capitalized lease obligations. The nature of the
Company's business is such that its sales are not subject to extended payment
terms or return privileges, except for defective goods.  The Company does not
anticipate a need for external financing to support its currently planned
operations.

ERNST & YOUNG LLP

The Board of Directors
Galileo Electro-Optics Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Galileo
Electro-Optics Corporation as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995. 
Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index
at Item 14(a).  These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Galileo Electro-Optics Corporation at September 30, 1995 and 1994,  and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended September 30, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial 
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, in 1993 the Company changed
its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions.

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   -------------------

   ORGANIZATION - The Company develops, manufactures and markets fiberoptic and 
   electro-optic components, assemblies and systems which transmit, sense or
   intensify light or images.  The  Company's products are sold primarily to
   original equipment manufacturers for applications in electronic  imaging,
   analytical instrumentation, office equipment, medical instrumentation and
   process analysis.  The majority of the Company's customers are located in
   North America with most international  customers in Europe and the Far East.


   CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 1995 and    
   1994 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
   shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
   period ended September 30, 1995, include the accounts of Galileo
   Electro-Optics Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  Intercompany
   transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


   CASH FLOWS - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company
   considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or
   less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

   In 1995, the capital leases pertaining to computer equipment then in effect
   were replaced with a new capital lease obligation of $180,000 for new
   computer equipment.


   INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first in, first 
   out) or market.

<TABLE>

   PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Depreciation is computed using either the
   straight-line or accelerated methods.  The estimated useful lives used in 
   computing depreciation and amortization are:
         
         <S>                                            <C>
         Buildings and improvements                     10-30 years
         Machinery, equipment and furniture              3-10 years

</TABLE>
         
         
   ENGINEERING EXPENSE - Engineering expense includes research and development,
   engineering support of manufacturing operations relating to problem solving
   and process improvement, the preparation of bids and proposals and sales
   support of customers.  The amounts charged to income for research and 
   development were approximately $3,054,000, $3,685,000 and $4,764,000 for
   fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
         
         
   NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE - Net income per common
   and common equivalent share is computed using the weighted average number
   of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  The exercise of stock
   options has not been assumed for fiscal years 1993 and 1994 because the
   effect was antidilutive.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         
   GOODWILL - Goodwill, which is included in other assets, is being amortized
   on a straight-line basis over a period of forty years.
         
         
   REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company records a sale and recognizes revenue when
   title passes to the customer or when services are performed in accordance
   with contracts.
         
         
   USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity     
   with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
   estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
   statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those 
   estimates.
         
         
   CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS - In March and October of 1995, the  
   Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two new statements: Statement
   121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived
   Assets to be Disposed Of and Statement 123, Accounting for Stock Based
   Compensation.  Statement 121 principally requires impairment losses to be
   recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
   impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
   generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. 
   Statement  123 encourages the expensing of the fair value of employee stock
   options but allows the continuance of current practice with disclosure of
   the pro forma effect on net income had the fair value of the options been
   expensed.  The Company will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of
   fiscal year 1997 and is expecting to adopt Statement 123 in fiscal year
   1996.  Based on current circumstances, the Company does not believe the
   effects of adopting either of these statements will be material.
         
         
2. RESTRUCTURING
   -------------
      
   In 1993, the Company's operating loss included a charge of approximately
   $6,144,000 related to a decision to consolidate its manufacturing
   operations in its Sturbridge, Massachusetts, facility.  As part of this
   consolidation, all manufacturing operations in Forest, Virginia, were
   relocated, and the Forest facility was shut down in fiscal year 1994 and is
   currently for sale.  The Company expects that this facility will be sold in
   the early part of fiscal year 1996.  The charge also included a write-off
   specific to the Company's Fused Fiberoptics product line, which related
   principally to production equipment no longer used in manufacturing.

3.      RETIREMENT PLANS
        ---------------- 
        PENSION PLAN - The Company has a noncontributory pension plan covering 
        substantially all employees who joined the Company prior to 
        January 1, 1995.  The Plan provides pension benefits based upon years 
        of service and average compensation during the five years preceding 
        retirement.  The Company's policy is to fund the maximum amount that 
        can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.
         
        <TABLE>
        Net pension cost consists of:

        In 1993, the Company reduced its work force and as a result, recognized 
        a curtailment gain of approximately $556,000.
         
        The assumptions used in calculating pension expense included discount 
        rates of 8% and expected long-term rates of return on Plan assets of 
        9%.  In addition, the rate of increase in compensation levels was 
        assumed to be 5% for 1995 and 5.5% for 1994 and 1993.

TAX DEFERRED SAVINGS PLAN - The Company has a tax deferred savings plan under 
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code under which, subject to certain 
limitations, each eligible employee may contribute up to 15% of gross wages 
per year.  The Company matches 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions.  
Company contributions to the Plan were approximately $139,000, $126,000 and 
$147,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
         
         
OTHER RETIREMENT PLANS - In addition to the Company's defined benefit pension 
plan, the Company sponsors a defined benefit postretirement medical and life 
insurance plan that covers substantially all of its full-time employees.  
Employees who retire from the Company and who have attained age 65 with 15 
years of service (10 years of service for employees hired before October 1, 
1989) and who were hired prior to October 1, 1993 are eligible.  Employees who 
retired prior to October 1, 1989 are not required to contribute; employees who 
retired after October 1, 1989 contribute a portion of the cost beyond a Company 
subsidy.  The plan is not funded.

In 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 
No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.
The Company elected to immediately recognize the accumulated liability, 
measured as of October 1, 1992.  This resulted in a one-time, after tax charge 
of $430,000 or $.07 per share.  The tax benefit of adoption was approximately 
$138,000.  Aside from the one-time effect of this adjustment, adoption of 
Statement 106 was not material to 1993 financial results.  Previously reported 
first quarter 1993 results have been restated to reflect the accumulated 
postretirement benefit obligation recognition.  Postretirement benefit costs 
for years prior to 1993, which were recorded on a cash basis, have not been 
restated.

The actuarial and recorded liabilities for this plan were as follows:

  </TABLE>

         
For measurement purposes, a 10% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost 
of covered health care benefits was assumed for fiscal year 1995.  The rate was 
assumed to decrease gradually down to 6% for fiscal year 2003 and remain at 
that level thereafter.  The health care cost trend rate assumption has a 
significant effect on the amounts reported.  To illustrate, increasing the 
assumed health care cost trend rate one percentage point in each year would 
increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of September 30, 
1995 by $35,000 (or by 6%) and the aggregate of the service and interest cost 
components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal year 1995 
by $3,600 (or by 6.5%).
         
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated 
postretirement benefit obligation was 8%.  As the plan is unfunded, no 
assumption was needed as to the long-term rate of return on assets.

5.      COMMON STOCK
         
        Employee Stock Option Plan - Under the Company's 1991 Stock Option 
        Plan, which succeeded the 1981 Stock Option Plan, the Plan 
        Administrative Committee of the Board of Directors may grant options to 
        purchase common stock to officers and key employees of the Company and 
        its subsidiary.  The stock options are exercisable at a price not less 
        than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  
        The Plan also provides that the Committee may issue stock appreciation 
        rights.  The exercise price of the stock appreciation rights may not 
        be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of 
        grant or if issued with a stock option, the exercise price of the 
        related option.  Stock appreciation rights provide for the issuance of 
        common stock, or the payment of cash, or a combination of both equal 
        to the difference between the exercise price of the stock appreciation
        right and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of 
        exercise.
