Item 1.
Business
- --------

The Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries designs, manufactures and
markets rugged computer systems, advanced peripheral products, intelligent
terminals, high performance workstations, TEMPEST computer systems (which
suppress certain radiation to prevent external detectors from reading the data
being transcribed) and telecommunications test equipment and transmission
products. The Company operates in two distinct operating segments: an Electronic
Systems segment and a Telecommunications segment. The Electronic Systems segment
is comprised of all of the Company's defense, military and government-related
businesses and the Telecommunications segment is focused on commercial
communications opportunities.

The Electronic Systems segment provides rugged computer products specifically
designed for deployment in harsh environments that require special attention to
system configurations. This segment's customer base includes the U.S. and
foreign armed services and intelligence agencies.

The Telecommunications segment provides transmission enhancement products and
rugged, hand-held test equipment for analog, digital and fiber-optic
communications and data-interchange networks. This segment's customer base
includes the regional Bell operating companies and independent telephone
companies.

The Company's strategy is to be a leading supplier of high quality, innovative
products, systems and services to satisfy specialized customer requirements in
niche information technology and telecommunications markets, especially in
environments with harsh operating requirements.

Electronic Systems Segment

The Electronic Systems segment is comprised of three operating subsidiaries, as
follows:

        Codar Technology, Inc., located in Longmont, Colorado ("Codar");

        NAI Technologies-Systems Division Corporation , based in Columbia,
        Maryland ("Systems"); and

        Lynwood Scientific Developments Limited, based in Farnham, United
        Kingdom ("Lynwood").

Codar.     Codar designs, manufactures, integrates and supports rugged computer
systems and subsystems for the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") and its prime
contractors and allies. These systems and subsystems are used in tactical,
planning, communications and intelligence applications.

Codar currently competes primarily in the computer and peripheral product
segment of the military market, with both militarized and ruggedized products.
Additional business is targeted at engineering support service and system
integration opportunities.

Codar's product line includes a range of commercial off-the-shelf ("COTS")-based
rugged minicomputers, workstations, personal computers, industry-compatible,
removable mass storage subsystems, high-resolution monitors and keyboards. These
products incorporate technology from other companies. Codar also provides
engineering services and system integration capabilities.


                                      -3-


<PAGE>
<PAGE>


Codar's equipment is designed to allow flexibility in configuration of all
essential components. In addition to complying with system functional
specifications, Codar's products are engineered to be deployed in environments
that require special attention to system configurations with limitations on size
and power consumption, and restraint on electromagnetic emissions. Products are
custom built to withstand shock, vibration, cold, heat, dust, sand, rain and
altitude conditions.

Codar has developed and produced products for a large number of government
programs and departments and more than 100 additional customers aggregating more
than 200 different end-users. The products have met military requirements for
use in a variety of applications in vehicles, shelters and fixed-site
installations. Codar has designed, built, tested and sold equipment for
airborne, ground/mobile and shipboard military environmental specifications and
military requirements.

Codar is the prime contractor for the Rapid Anti-Ship Missile Integrated Defense
System ("RAIDS"), which is a tactical decision aid system based on an
open-architecture network of processors that enhances the missile defense
effectiveness of ships and performs all system executive functions, including
internal and external data sharing/communications, anti-ship missile defense
system performance and operational status monitoring, designated target
identification, track data association, limited threat evaluation and
maintenance of the status of the anti-ship missile defense threat environment.

Codar provides a variety of ruggedized and electromagnetic interference ("EMI")
compliant workstations, based on processors from other companies, as well as
related peripherals, such as ruggedized/EMI color monitors, keyboards and mass
storage units ("MSEU"). These products are used by the U.S. Army and Navy. The
Codar Model 325M-S Rugged Lightweight SPARC'r' station has been selected by GTE
Government Systems Corp. ("GTE") for use on the U.S. Army's Common Hardware/
Software Program known as CHS-2. Codar will supply computers with ruggedized
color monitors and MSEUs over a five-year period as part of the basic CHS-2
program as well as engineering services in support of GTE and the U.S. Army.

Codar also offers ruggedized rackmount and portable personal computers utilizing
the Intel 80486 or Pentium processors. These computers offer rugged portability
in either a compact, modular "lunch box" design or a rackmount design.
Completely sealed from the environment in their non-operating configuration,
these computers are easily transported. In addition to shock and vibration,
these units can operate over a wide range of temperature variations. Options
include a detachable keyboard, color touch screen display and various memory
options.

The focus of Codar's new products is the design, manufacture and integration of
rugged computer systems and subsystems to support the upgrade of large platforms
and programs, mobile or transportable systems and subsystems for command and
control applications and the support of the "digitization" of the battlefield as
exemplified by the U.S. Army's "Force 21" programs.

In an effort to maintain its technological capabilities, and be in a position to
provide the latest technology to its customers, Codar works with its suppliers
to permit it to accelerate new product introductions and help its customers have
access to the latest COTS product technology. Codar also makes significant use
of special teaming relationships with various large prime contractors such as
GTE in the CHS-2 program. These relationships allow Codar to participate in
larger programs than it could on its own.

In 1996, Codar updated its range of rugged rack-mounted computers with the
introduction of the Genesis rugged multi-platform computer, which provides users
with a rugged platform which supports Intel, DEC Alpha, Power PC and Sun
processors.


                                      -4-

<PAGE>


Also in 1996, Codar announced the Explorer II, an enhancement of the Explorer I,
offering full compatibility with the range of CHS-2 products.

Codar's range of display products was enhanced in 1996 with the introduction of
the Codar Rugged Flat Panel Displays. This technology comprises a range of 12",
13" and 16" ruggedized displays for installation in vehicles, aircraft, ships
and other harsh environments.

Systems Division. The Systems Division provides custom packaged, integrated
computer systems and peripherals for field deployment in shelters, ships, land
vehicles and a variety of other demanding environments. The division's technical
expertise encompasses most major industry standard architectures including
SPARC'r', Multibus, VME and PCI as well as most widely used operating systems.
The Systems Division also has over 25 years experience in custom packaging and
has engineered solutions that meet a broad range of unique specifications
including size and weight constraints, low power consumption, shock and
vibration, adverse temperature and humidity conditions, rack-mounting, TEMPEST
and unattended operation with remote diagnostics. Application specialties
include: Digital Signal Processing, Data Acquisition, Networking/Communications
and Video Teleconferencing.

The Systems Division's diverse customer base includes the National Security
Agency and other U.S. intelligence agencies, various U.S. military
organizations, foreign governments and industrial customers. The division's
products and services are sold domestically through its own sales force and
internationally through the sales force of the Lynwood division. Because its
products are typically based on COTS components, the Systems Division has
established strategic alliances with such leading technology companies as Sun,
Intel, Hewlett Packard, Motorola, Force Computer, Ross Technologies, Spectrum
Signal Processing and many others. In order to supply products in a timely
manner, Systems concentrates its efforts on the design, final assembly and test
of its systems rather than providing a fully integrated vertical manufacturing
capability.

Lynwood. Lynwood supplies rugged, environmentally and electrically screened
personal computers and workstations based upon standard COTS technology, aimed
at the military and government markets principally in Europe, Australia and
Southeast Asia. Lynwood develops, manufactures, installs and supports complete
computer systems for the Government and Defense markets. Lynwood adapts COTS
systems for use in harsh and extreme environments. In addition to creating its
own products, Lynwood also provides an international marketing and manufacturing
capability for the Company. In some cases, Lynwood provides systems that are
made up of its own products coupled with those of Codar or Systems.

Lynwood produces several personal computer and workstation products designed to
be operated in harsh environments. For example, Lynwood has a completely
compatible PC based upon a standard PC motherboard which operates in driving
rain and at extremes of temperature, and which is completely sealed from dust
and dirt. These products have been sold to armed services in Australia and the
UK. Lynwood also develops secure TEMPEST screened workstation products which are
designed to operate in areas of high security.

Lynwood principally works on discrete projects and delivers solutions to meet
specific customer and project requirements. Lynwood's products include the
Explorer II Sun workstation, the Genesis SR rackmount computer, MC50 for
Airborne Applications and RP6200 range of multi-purpose rugged desktop and
rackmount Pentium computers. In addition, Lynwood supplies a wide range of
rugged flat panel displays for use within air, maritime and land mobile
environments.

Lynwood has the capability to supply integrated systems and subsystems that meet
specific rugged and environmental specifications. Lynwood's design and
manufacturing capabilities are concentrated around the system integration and
final assembly and test of these products. Lynwood strives to respond quickly
with a cost effective product using the latest COTS technologies and employs the
same technology relations and teaming programs as Codar and Systems to meet this
end.


Telecommunications Segment

The Telecommunications segment currently consists of one operating company:
Wilcom, Inc. ("Wilcom"), located in Laconia, New Hampshire. Wilcom designs and
manufactures products for use in the telephone industry. The majority of
Wilcom's sales are to the Regional Bell Operating Companies ("RBOCs").

The business of Wilcom is made up of two product lines; analog and digital
telephone test equipment, for use with either fiber or copper cable, and
telephone transmission enhancement products, which are used to enhance or
improve the characteristics of voice, digital data and video over copper wire.

The test equipment product line is comprised of digital, fiber and analog test
instrumentation used by domestic and international telephone companies. Current
products include line testers, fiber identifiers, power meters and other such
instruments.

Telephone transmission enhancement products, which represent the greater growth
opportunity for the division, include two product lines that are differentiated
by their use rather than their technologies. One of the product lines is
referred to as line treatment equipment ("LTE") and is normally installed on
telephone company property, while the other product line, the enhanced line
power amplifier ("ELPA"'), is normally installed at the customer's premises (but
can be installed on telephone company property).

Both the LTE and the ELPA are electronic modules, installed for the express
purpose of improving voice quality, increasing data transmission speeds when
using modems and increasing the ability of copper wire to be used for video
transmission in special instances. The LTE has been designed for use with two
and four wire telephone circuits and the ELPA has been designed for use with two
wire circuits. Network upgrading has become important due to the many new
competitive technological alternatives to copper wire such as radio, cellular
telephone, satellite transmission, fiber cables and microwave which can send
information and data from location to location. The proliferation of higher
speed analog modems has made the need for better quality phone lines an
important issue. Wilcom's products allow the telephone companies to provide
additional services in voice, data and video transmission over their existing
copper networks.

The ELPA product line has been extended by the introduction of a smaller,
lighter, less expensive product called the Turbo Amp. The Turbo Amp has been
designed to be self-powered from the telephone line and permit the improvement
of line transmission quality by automatically adjusting the various electrical
parameters that control signal transmission. The Turbo Amp also requires less
skilled technicians for installation and can be configured and installed from a
remote site, which can result in substantially reduced service calls and cost to
the RBOCs. The Company has received patents on the Turbo Amp.

Marketing and Service


                                      -6-


<PAGE>
<PAGE>


The Company sells its products directly to customers and serves as a
subcontractor to larger prime contractors serving the same customer base. The
Company's products are marketed to customers through sales personnel,
manufacturers' representatives and distributors. The Company maintains sales
offices and sales support in Columbia, Maryland; Westlake Village, California;
Longmont, Colorado; Laconia, New Hampshire; Australia; England; and Israel.

The Company provides maintenance and field service for its products through its
customer service departments located at each of its manufacturing facilities and
at certain customer sites. Field service for printers is also performed by some
distributors. Most overseas service is performed by the Company's
representatives in Australia, Denmark, England, France, Germany and Israel.

Customers

During 1996 and 1995, sales under contracts with the U.S. Government were
approximately 30% and 38%, respectively, of the Company's net sales. The U.S.
Government and one other customer individually accounted for more than 10% of
the Company's sales in 1996 or 1995. The Company's sales are affected by the
U.S. defense budget. With continuing discussions on budget cuts, it is difficult
to assess what the impact of budget cuts, if any, will be on the Company. It
appears that defense outlays will be reduced from past levels. The Company is
unaware of any targeted cuts specifically affecting its products. The Company's
products are utilized on many different programs. However, changed U.S.
Government spending levels could impact the Company's future sales levels. No
single U.S. Government contract accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's
sales in 1996 or 1995.

The U.S. Government accounted for 34% and one other customer accounted for 16%
of the Electronic Systems segment's 1996 sales. Two separate customers accounted
for 26% and 18%, respectively, of the Telecommunications segment's 1996 sales.

Foreign Sales

Foreign sales in 1996 and 1995 accounted for approximately 24% and 21%,
respectively, of total sales. Such sales, which exclude products sold to the
U.S. Government and resold by the U.S. Government for foreign military use, are
made primarily to customers in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Israel, Japan, the United Kingdom and Western Europe.

The Company's foreign sales are comprised of export sales from the U.S. and
foreign revenues from Lynwood. All export sales from the U.S. are payable in
U.S. dollars and, therefore, settlement amounts do not fluctuate with changes in
exchange rates. All of Lynwood's sales are payable in British currency.
Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound
will impact on the Company's operating results. No single country, with the
exception of the United Kingdom (70% in 1996 and 86% in 1995) and Australia (18%
in 1996 and less than 5% in 1995), accounted for more than 5% of the Company's
foreign sales in any of the past two years.


                                      -7-

Foreign sales for the past three years have been as follows:

                                           Approximate
                                               Total          Percent of
                                           Foreign Sales     Company Sales
                                           -------------     -------------

        1996 .............................  $16,154,000           24%
        1995 .............................   12,679,000           21%
        1994 .............................   13,828,000           25%


Backlog

The Company's backlog of orders was $30.2 million at December 31, 1996. Of this
amount, 14% represents orders for U.S. military sales. Such orders are subject
to termination at the convenience of the U.S. Government with negotiated
settlements in which the Company seeks to recover its costs and a reasonable
profit. Certain other orders, when subject to cancellation or return, are
handled with a restocking charge or by negotiated settlement.

While the Company's backlog is not subject to seasonal factors, it does
fluctuate due to timing of orders from the U.S. Government. The Company expects
to produce and ship approximately 60% of its current backlog of orders before
the end of 1997.


Competition

The Company's business is highly competitive. Many suppliers in the Company's
markets are significantly larger than the Company in terms of total sales and
assets, and many devote significantly more resources to the development of new
products than does the Company. The Company searches for certain market niches
where it has expertise and can compete successfully. Competition for the
Company's products is based principally on reliability, performance, price and
diversity of the products offered.

Research and Development

The Company's technological base is characterized by rapid change. As a result,
maintenance and expansion of the Company's business are partially dependent upon
the success of the Company's programs to develop new products and upgrade
existing products. The Company's engineering resources have been devoted to the
development of new products in every major category of its business.

During the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company's total engineering
expenditures were $3,929,000, $7,264,000 and $9,335,000, respectively. Due to
the extensive use of COTS-based equipment in the Company's products, the
Company's cost of independent research in pursuit of new products and
improvements to existing products has declined during the years 1996, 1995 and
1994 to approximately $1,639,000, $1,807,000 and $3,214,000, respectively.
Customer-funded engineering included in cost of sales or inventory, as a
contract cost was $2,290,000 in 1996, $5,457,000 in 1995 and $6,121,000
in 1994.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company owns patents and trademarks and seeks patent protection for its
products in cases where the Company believes the technology involved is
sufficiently innovative to warrant such protection. The Company seeks trademark
protection for its products in cases where the Company believes for marketing
reasons such protection is warranted. The Company seeks to protect its
proprietary information through its reliance on patent, copyright, trademark and
trade secret laws, non-disclosure agreements with its employees and
confidentiality provisions in licensing arrangements with its customers. There
is no assurance that such agreements will be effective to protect the Company or
that the proprietary information deemed confidential by the Company will be
adequately protected by the law respecting trade secrets. Consequently, it may
be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of the
Company's products or to "reverse engineer" or otherwise obtain the Company's
proprietary rights. Moreover, the laws of some foreign countries do not afford
the same protection provided by U.S. laws to the Company's proprietary rights.


Government Regulation

The Company is subject to the Federal acquisition regulations governing the
issuance of government contracts, Federal Trade Commission regulations governing
its advertising and trade practices, Department of Commerce regulations as well
as Department of State Defense Trade Control regulations with respect to goods
it imports and exports, and the Truth in Negotiations Act, which provides for
the examination by the U.S. Government of cost records to determine whether
accurate pricing information was disclosed in connection with government
contracts. To date, such government regulations have not had a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. The Company in the normal course of business
is subject to Department of Defense audits with respect to its government
contracts, some of which may result in pricing adjustments.

The Company's manufacturing operations are subject to various federal, state and
local laws that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. To date, compliance
with such government regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.


Manufacturing and Supplies

Production of the Company's products requires assembly and testing of
components, printed circuit boards and other purchased parts. Quality control,
testing and inspection are performed at various steps throughout the
manufacturing process.

The Company purchases certain materials and components used in its systems and
equipment from independent suppliers. These materials and components are not
normally purchased under long-term contracts. The Company purchases
minicomputers, workstations, personal computers, mass storage subsystems, high
resolution monitors and keyboards under OEM agreements. The Company believes
that most of the items its purchases may be obtained from a variety of suppliers
and it normally obtains alternative sources for major items, although the
Company is sometimes dependent on a single supplier or a few suppliers for some
items.

During 1995 and 1994, the Company's cash constraints strained its relationships
with vendors, which adversely impacted the Company's ability to meet its
production targets on a timely and cost-effective basis. These constraints were
significantly eased during 1996 and the Company now believes it is in good
standing with all of its vendors.

Employees

At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 290 employees. The Company
has never experienced a work stoppage and none of its employees is represented
by a union. The Company believes its relationship with its employees is good. In
January 1997, the Company reduced its work force by approximately 40 additional
employees.

1996 Compared with 1995
- -----------------------

The nature of the Company's business is such that year to year changes in sales
levels are predominantly due to changes in shipping volume or product mix rather
than changing sales prices. Net sales in 1996 were $68.2 million, a 14% increase
when compared with $60.0 million for the same period in 1995.

The following chart provides the sales breakdown by segment and subsidiary for
1996 and 1995.

In thousands of dollars                        1996         1995      % Change

                                            ====================================

Sales in the Electronic Systems segment (net of inter-company elimination's)
increased 18% to $61.1 million from $51.8 million in 1995. Each of the NAI
subsidiaries recorded sales increases in 1996 as compared to 1995. Lynwood and
Codar recorded the largest increases. Codar's 1995 revenues were adversely
impacted by production problems on certain contracts. The increased sales at
Lynwood and NAI Systems Division were representative of the increased levels of
business at both companies.

In recent years the Company has reduced its dependency on the United States
defense budget by expanding its non-military business operations. However, the
Company still expects approximately 40% of 1997 sales to be directly to the
military or through prime contractors to the military compared to 44% in 1996.
The Company is not aware of any programs in which it participates that are
specifically targeted for termination or curtailment. The Company's products are
utilized on many different U.S. Government programs which reduces the adverse
impact of canceling a single specific program. However, changes in future U.S.
defense spending levels could impact the Company's future sales volume.

Sales in the Telecommunications segment decreased 14% to $7.1 million as
compared to $8.2 million in 1995. The decrease in sales is attributable to
reduced line treatment revenues.

The gross margin percentage for 1996 was 22.7% as compared with 8.2% for 1995.
The following chart provides the gross margin percentage by subsidiary.

                                            1996             1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Codar Technology, Inc.                      14.4%            (7.7%)
NAI Systems Division                        20.9%            17.4%
Lynwood Scientific Dev. Ltd.                34.0%            32.9%
Wilcom, Inc.                                38.0%            23.0%

The margin improvement at Codar is attributable to increased shipping volumes
and cost reduction efforts initiated in late 1995 and early 1996. Codar's
operating performance in both years was adversely impacted by several large
contracts for which the gross margins were zero or negative. These contracts
were substantially completed during the third quarter of 1996. Codar's 1995
gross margins were adversely impacted by the recording of a $1,400,000 provision
attributable to cost growth on certain long-term contracts due to engineering
design changes, greater than anticipated labor and material costs and
under-absorbed overhead and a $1,100,000 provision for inventory obsolescence.
The recording of a $900,000 provision for inventory obsolescence adversely
impacted the Systems Division's 1995 gross margin.

Cost reduction efforts completed in the fourth quarter of 1995 and a favorable
mix of high margin product revenues favorably impacted Wilcom's 1996 gross
margin.

Selling expense for 1996 was $4.2 million as compared with $5.0 million for the
same period in 1995. The 16% decrease was realized, despite an increase in sales
of 14%, due to the Company's efforts to reduce operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses for 1996 were $5.2 million as compared with
$6.5 million in 1995. Decreased corporate office expense as well as cost cutting
moves taken in the fourth quarter of 1995 account for the decline.

Company-sponsored research and development expenditures for 1996 were $1.6
million as compared with $1.8 million for 1995.

The Company had operating earnings of $5.3 million in 1996 as compared with an
operating loss of $8.9 million in 1995. 1996 operating earnings were favorably
impacted by the recognition of a gain of approximately $1.5 million from the
sale of the Systems Integration Division to Tracor Aerospace Inc. in June 1996.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred debt costs, net of interest
income, was $2.5 million in 1996 as compared with $2.4 million in 1995.

The entire tax expense pertains to the Company's Lynwood subsidiary located in
the U.K. Lynwood's earnings are taxed in the U.K. and, while the Company has a
U.S. net operating loss carry-forward, Lynwood is required to pay taxes in the
U.K. The Company is unable to recognize the full tax benefit associated with its
U.S. net operating loss carry-forward due to uncertainties as to whether or not
a future benefit will be realized. When the Company returns to sustained
profitability, the benefits of such a tax loss carry-forward will be recognized.

The Company recorded a net profit of $2.4 million as compared with a net loss of
$11.6 million in 1995. Earnings per share were $0.28 as compared with a loss of
$1.57 per share in 1995, based on a weighted average of 8.6 million and 7.4
million shares outstanding, respectively.

1995 Compared with 1994

Net sales in 1995 were $60.0 million, a 10% increase when compared with $54.5
million for the same period in 1994. The increase occurred in the Electronic
Systems segment. Year to year changes in the Company's sales levels are
predominantly due to changes in shipping volume or product mix rather than
changing sales prices.

The following chart provides the sales breakdown by segment and subsidiary for
1995 and 1994.

                                             ================================

Sales in the Electronic Systems segment (net of inter-company eliminations)
increased 12% to $51.8 million from $46.3 million in 1994. The sales increase
was primarily attributable to increased sales from NAI's Systems Division and
Codar offset by the sales reduction due to the closing of the military products
division, which was consolidated into Codar in September 1994.

The Company expects a significant amount of 1996 sales to be directly to the
military or through prime contractors to the military.

Sales in the Telecommunications segment remained flat at $8.2 million in 1995
and 1994. A small increase in line treatment products due to deliveries of
Wilcom's new Enhanced Line Powered Amplifier products was offset by a decline in
test equipment as a result of lower orders from the regional Bell operating
companies and foreign telecommunications companies.

The consolidated gross margin for 1995 was 8.2%, as compared to 18.8% in 1994.
The 1995 gross margin was adversely affected by a $6.6 million charge to
operations and an unfavorable mix of high and low margin product deliveries. The
$6.6 million charge to operations was attributable to cost growth on certain
long term contracts due to engineering design changes, provisions for slow
moving, excess and obsolete inventory. The Company believes that it has
recognized the entire adverse impact of cost overruns on those contracts for
which the expected final costs exceed the contract value.

Selling expense for 1995 was $5.0 million, as compared with $7.5 million in
1994. This decrease is attributable to the saving associated with the
consolidation of the military products division in the third quarter of 1994 and
cost cutting measures implemented at all of the Company's divisions in 1995.


                                      -15-

General and administrative expenses for 1995 were $6.5 million, as compared to
$6.3 million in 1994. This increase is primarily attributable to the Company
moving its corporate headquarters from Woodbury, New York to Longmont, Colorado
in December 1995 and additional administrative expense at Codar as a result of
increased management resources. These cost increases were partially offset by
cost cutting measures implemented at the Company's other divisions and the
savings associated with the consolidation of the military products division in
the third quarter of 1994.

Company-sponsored research and development expenditures for 1995 were $1.8
million, as compared to $3.2 million in 1994. This decrease is attributable to
savings associated with the previously mentioned consolidation and the change in
mix between Company-sponsored research and development and customer-funded
research and development. The Electronic Systems segment is focusing on its
system integration business. Although systems integration work by its nature
requires significant engineering content, such costs must be classified as
contract costs and charged to cost of sales as opposed to Company-sponsored
research and development (IR&D).

The Company recorded an operating loss of $8.9 million in 1995, as compared with
an operating loss of $14.6 million in 1994. The operating loss in 1995 was
primarily due to the $6.6 million charge previously noted. The 1994 operating
loss included a $7.3 million restructuring expense.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $2.4 million in 1995, as compared
to $1.4 million in 1994. The 1995 figures also included a $0.9 million charge
for debt restructuring expense related to the April 7, 1995 agreement reached
with the Company's two lending institutions.

The effective income tax expense rate was below the combined statutory federal
and state rates in 1995. The Company was unable to recognize a tax benefit for
its loss in 1995 due to uncertainties as to whether or not a future benefit
would be realized. Any earnings in 1996 will not be taxed at the statutory rate.
The small tax provision is associated with the operations of Lynwood, the
Company's United Kingdom subsidiary.

The Company recorded a net loss of $11.6 million in 1995, substantially the same
as the net loss recorded in 1994. Loss per share for 1995 was ($1.57), as
compared with a ($1.69) in 1994, based on a weighted average of 7.4 million and
6.9 million shares outstanding, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

On February 15, 1996 the Company entered into an amendment to its credit
agreement with its bank lenders which amended and extended the payment
provisions contained therein and reset certain financial covenants on more
favorable terms for the Company. The revised credit agreement provides for
quarterly principal payments of $500,000, beginning on March 31, 1996 and
payments of $750,000 beginning on March 31, 1997 and paid through December 31,
1998. The remaining principal balance is due on January 15, 1999. Interest is
payable monthly at the rate of 1 3/4% above prime. The loan covenants require
that the Company maintain certain minimum levels of net worth, current ratio and
quick ratio. There are also limits on capital expenditures and the payment of
cash dividends. The Company believes that it can comply with such loan covenants
during the term of the credit agreement.

On February 15, 1996, February 23, 1996, February 29, 1996 and May 2, 1996, the
Company issued an aggregate of $8,342,000 of 12% Convertible Subordinated
Promissory Notes due January 15, 2001 (the "Notes") and warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 2,085,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Warrants").
The Notes are convertible by the holders into shares of Common Stock at a price
equal to $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment if the Company fails to meet
certain earnings thresholds and in

                                      -16-

certain other events. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on
January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15,
1996. The Notes mature on January 15, 2001. The Notes may be prepaid by the
Company without premium or penalty at any time after January 15, 1999. The Notes
are unsecured obligations of the Company and contain certain restrictions on the
Company including a negative pledge of the Company's assets not otherwise
encumbered by the holders of the senior indebtedness.

In addition to the Warrants issued with the Notes, the Company issued an
aggregate of 2,034,200 Warrants to the lead investor and the placement agent.
All Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase shares of Common Stock at
any time and from time to time on or before February 15, 2002 at an exercise
price equal to $2.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain
events.

The Company received total proceeds (net of placement agency fees and expenses)
of $7,534,081 ($2,500,000 was received prior to December 31, 1995) from the sale
of the Notes and the Warrants upon completion of the offering.

Approximately $4.1 million was used to reduce the Company's accounts payable to
its vendors. The remainder of the funds were used to meet operating and working
capital needs. As a result of the sale of the Notes and the debt restructuring,
the Company made payments of $7,675,000 in principal in 1996, and is required to
expend approximately $2,475,000 in 1998. All required term loan payments for
1997 were made prior to December 31, 1996. On January 15, 1999 the Company is
required to make a balloon payment of $5,025,000. Interest on outstanding
balances under the term loan is payable monthly.

The Company intends to pay interest on the Notes, interest and principal under
the credit agreement and operating expenses for the next three years. The
Company believes that it will have adequate resources to meet its obligations
when the balloon payment of $5,025,000 is due.

On May 9, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Charles S. Holmes, a
member of the Company's Board of Directors, that in consideration of his
converting the Note held by him in the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
$2,000,000 into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock the Company would immediately
grant him warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock at any time and
from time to time on or before February 15, 2002 at an exercise price of $3.00
per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. Such warrants were valued at
$0.50 per warrant and were fully expensed in 1996.

During 1996 an additional $1,115,000 of Notes were converted in accordance with
the terms thereof into 557,500 shares of common stock, thereby bringing the
total conversions for the year to $3,115,000 and reducing the aggregate
principal amount of Notes outstanding to $5,227,000 from the originally issued
$8,342,000.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.7 million at December 31, 1996, as compared
to $2.6 million at December 31, 1995. Cash used by operating activities amounted
to $1.6 million in 1996, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of
$0.1 million in 1995.

A significant factor in the Company's improved cash flow performance in 1996 has
been the leveling of shipments during each month. In the past years the
Company's shipments were heavily weighted towards the end of each month and the
last month of each quarter. This improvement in shipping performance has enabled
the Company to reduce its inventory and accounts receivable balances.

The increase in non-current assets from the beginning of the year is
attributable to the deferred debt costs incurred as a result of the sale of the
Notes in February 1996.

(such options to replace 100,000 previously issued options which were canceled).

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
- ----------------------------------------------

Charles S. Holmes, a director of the Company, purchased $2,000,000 principal
amount of Notes and Warrants (the "Units") to purchase 500,000 shares of Common
Stock issued pursuant to the private placement (the "Investment Transaction") of
the Units by the Company in exchange for the 12% Subordinated Promissory Notes
of the Company held by him in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000. Mr.
Holmes also received an additional 1,200,000 Warrants for past advisory services
in connection with the Investment Transaction and the engagement of Commonwealth
Associates as the Company's placement agent. Pursuant to an agreement between
Mr. Holmes and the Company on May 9, 1996, which provided for the immediate
grant to Mr. Holmes of warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock at
any time and from time to time on or before February 15, 2002 at an exercise
price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events, Mr. Holmes
converted the Notes held by him in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000
into one million shares of Common Stock which he currently owns.

C. Shelton James, a director of the Company, is the president and a director of
Active Investors II, Ltd. ("Active Investors"), a company which, together with
certain affiliated limited partnerships, currently owns shares of Common Stock
of the Company. In connection with the Investment Transaction, Active Investors
purchased 900 Units from the Company in exchange for 12% Subordinated Promissory
Notes of the Company held by him in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000.
On May 2, 1996 Active Investors purchased additional Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $100,000 and Warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of Common
Stock.

In connection with the Investment Transaction, the Company agreed to use its
best efforts to cause the resignation of two then-current members of the Board
of Directors and cause to be elected as directors two individuals acceptable to
the Company and who are designed by the investors, including one designated
solely by Mr. Holmes and one designated solely by Active Investors. Dennis
McCarthy was designated to serve in such capacity by Mr. Holmes, while Edward L.
Hennessy, Jr. was designated to serve in such capacity by Active Investors, and
each became a director of the Company on March 6, 1996.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
and Stockholders
NAI Technologies, Inc.

We  have  audited  the   accompanying   consolidated   balance   sheets  of  NAI
Technologies,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated  statements of operations,  shareholders'  equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1996.
These consolidated  financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
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 financial  position of NAI Technologies,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period
ended  December 31, 1996,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                     NAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

1.      SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business: NAI Technologies designs, manufactures and markets
rugged computer systems, advanced peripheral products, high performance
workstations, TEMPEST computer systems and telecommunications test equipment and
transmission products, and integrated systems for defense, military,
government-related and commercial businesses. The Company's customer base
includes commercial markets requiring rugged, mobile computer and communications
systems, U.S. and foreign armed services and intelligence agencies, and the
regional Bell operating companies and independent telephone companies. Net sales
to the U.S. Government for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
$20,619,000, $22,665,000 and $21,819,000, respectively.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Management Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation: The financial statements and transactions of the
Company's foreign subsidiary are maintained in its functional currency. For
consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company's U.K. subsidiary
have been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period. Revenues and
expenses have been translated at the weighted average rates of exchange in
effect during each period. Translation gains and losses are accumulated as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from
transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional
currency are included in other operating expense in the consolidated statements
of operations. There were no significant gains or losses from foreign currency
transactions in the years presented.

Financial Statement Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made
to prior years' financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.

Cash equivalents: The Company classifies investments that are readily
convertible into cash, and have original maturities of three months or less, as
cash equivalents.

Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Work in process is stated at total costs
incurred, reduced by estimated costs of units delivered, not in excess of net
realizable value. The Company's business is characterized by rapid change that
frequently results in product obsolescence. The Company continually reviews its
on-hand quantities and compares such to current business levels and future
expectations regarding usage. Adjustments to the carrying values of inventory
are made when considered necessary.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at
historical cost. Depreciation and amortization have been computed using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
equipment and furniture and fixtures, generally -- 2 to 10 years, and buildings
- -- 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the
estimated useful life of the improvements or the lease term.

Excess of Cost over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired: The excess of cost over
fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is being amortized on a straight
line basis over a period of twenty years. The Company reviews the significant
assumptions that underlie the twenty-year amortization period on a quarterly
basis and will shorten the amortization period if considered necessary. The
Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining
whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be
recovered through projected undiscounted future results. Accumulated
amortization was approximately $2,362,000 and $1,730,000 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. The amortization expense associated with these amounts
is included in other operating expense in the consolidated statements of
operations and amounted to $632,000, $630,000 and $620,000 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

Long-lived assets: In fiscal 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of." SFAS No. 121
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held
and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. During 1996, the Company adopted this statement and
determined that no impairment loss need be recognized for applicable assets of
continuing operations.

Revenue Recognition: Sales are recorded when title passes (either at shipment or
customer acceptance). In some limited cases, a sale may be recorded upon the
completion of a specific contractual task such as the issuance of a test report.
Cost of goods sold is based upon average estimated cost per unit. Sales and
profits on cost reimbursable contracts are recognized as costs are incurred.
Sales and estimated profits under long-term contracts are recorded under the
percentage of completion method of accounting using the cost to cost method.
Costs include direct engineering and manufacturing costs, applicable overhead
costs and special tooling and test equipment. All selling, general and
administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Warranty expense
is accrued based upon the historical relationship between sales and warranty
claims. Estimated losses are provided for in full when identified.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are determined based on the use of the asset and
liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes in
accordance with statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
"Accounting For Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized based on the temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and
income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when such
amounts are realized or settled.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Earnings (loss) per share is computed based upon the
weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of dilutive common stock options,
common stock subscribed to under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and common
stock warrants, net of assumed buy-back. The computation of fully diluted
earnings (loss) per share does not materially differ from that presented in the
consolidated statements of operations. Earnings (loss) per share amounts are
based on 8,570,000, 7,382,000 and 6,850,000 average shares outstanding
(including common stock equivalents) for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

6.      RESTRUCTURING

        On April 8, 1994 the Company announced that as part of its transition
        from the design and manufacture of computer peripherals toward both
        producing and integrating computer systems, it would close its
        Hauppauge, New York based Military Products Division and transfer the
        division's operations to its Codar facility in Longmont, Colorado. As a
        direct result of the above, the Company recorded a $9,500,000 charge in
        1994, of which $7,300,000 was classified as a restructuring charge and
        $2,200,000 was charged to cost of sales. The major components of the
        $7,300,000 restructuring charge relate to employee expense ($2,731,000),
        disposition of assets ($2,000,000), inventory write downs on
        discontinued products ($1,120,000), idle facility costs ($590,000) and
        lease termination costs ($370,000). The major components of the
        $2,200,000 charge to cost of sales pertain to inventory write-offs
        related primarily to excess start-up costs associated with the NST-II
        production. The transfer of operations to Colorado was substantially
        completed by the fourth quarter of 1994.

7.      OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES - CURRENT

        Other accrued expenses - current at December 31, 1996, consisted of the

        Effective February 15, 1996 the Company entered into an amendment to its
        credit agreement with its bank lenders which amended and extended the
        payment provisions contained therein and reset certain financial
        covenants on more favorable terms for the Company. The revised credit
        agreement provides for quarterly principal payments of $500,000,
        beginning on March 31, 1996, and payments of $750,000 beginning on March
        31, 1997 and paid through December 31, 1998. The remaining principal
        balance is due on January 15, 1999. Interest is payable monthly at the
        rate of 1 3/4% above prime. The loan covenants require that the Company
        maintain certain minimum levels of net worth, current ratio and quick
        ratio. They also limit capital expenditures and the payment of cash
        dividends. As of December 31, 1996 the Company had made prepayments of
        $3,525,000. Accordingly, no payments are due in 1997.

        In November and December 1995, the Company borrowed an aggregate of
        $2,500,000 and agreed that the loans would be converted into convertible
        debt in conjunction with the anticipated sale of 12% Convertible
        Subordinated Promissory Notes. Such loans were recorded as Convertible
        Subordinated Promissory Notes as of December 31, 1995 in the Company's
        financial statements.

        On February 15, 1996, February 23, 1996, February 29, 1996 and May 2,
        1996, the Company issued an aggregate of $8,342,000 of 12% Convertible
        Subordinated Promissory Notes due January 15, 2001 and warrants to
        purchase an aggregate of 2,085,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
        The Notes are convertible by the holders into shares of Common Stock at
        a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share.



                                      F-12

Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15,
July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 1996. The Notes mature
on January 15, 2001. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company without premium or
penalty at any time after January 15, 1999. The Notes are unsecured obligations
of the Company and contain certain restrictions on the Company a negative pledge
of the Company's assets not otherwise encumbered by the holders of the senior
indebtedness. As of December 31, 1996, $3,115,000 of such Notes had been
converted into Common Stock.

In addition to the Warrants noted above, the Company issued 2,034,200 Warrants
to the lead investor and placement agent. All Warrants entitle the holders
thereof to purchase shares of Common Stock at any time and from time to time on
or before February 15, 2002, at an exercise price equal to $2.50 per share of
Common Stock. The Warrants are detachable and separately transferable. The
Warrants were valued at $0.50 each. Such value was derived based upon an
evaluation by an independent third party and included a review of both current
and historical stock price data, the lack of liquidity afforded to the Warrants,
the results of various quantitative methodologies, the Company's financial
position and historical and projected cash flows. The Warrants issued in
conjunction with the Notes are recorded as original issued discount on the
Company's balance sheet. The Warrants issued to the lead investor and the
placement agent are recorded as deferred debt costs and is included in other
assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

On May 9, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Charles S. Holmes, a
member of the Company's Board of Directors, that in consideration of his
converting the Note in the aggregate unpaid principal amount of $2,000,000 held
by him into 1,000,000 shares of Common stock, the Company would immediately
issue warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock at any time and from
time to time on or before February 15, 2002 at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share. The warrants were valued at $0.50 per warrant and the Company recorded a
charge to operations of $150,000 in 1996.

The Company's U.K. subsidiary has a credit facility (sterling overdraft) with a
U.K. bank. The credit facility amounts to 'L'600,000 (approximately
$1,028,000) and bears interest at 2 1/4 % above the U.K. base rate (6% at
December 31, 1996). This facility is renewable in March 1997. The maximum month
end borrowings under the credit facility during the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 were 'L'346,000 and 'L'84,000 (approximately $543,000 and
$130,000, respectively). The average short term borrowings for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 'L'29,000 and 'L'19,000 (approximately
$50,000 and $30,000, respectively). The weighted average interest rate during
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 8.23% and 8.88%, respectively.

12.     SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company has three stock option plans - the 1991 Stock Option Plan, the 1993
Stock Option Plan for Directors, and the 1996 Stock Option Plan - which together
cover 1,233,731 shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to the plans
to key employees and directors.

The 1991 Stock Option Plan covers 677,731 shares. Options under the 1991 Stock
Option Plan are non-qualified stock options and are granted at the option price
fixed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors but in no event
may the option price be less than the fair market value of a share of common
stock on the date of grant. Options under the 1991 Stock Option Plan have such
term as is fixed by the Compensation Committee but no option may be exercised
during the first year after its date of grant or after the expiration of ten
years from its date of grant.

The 1993 Stock Option Plan for Directors covers 156,000 shares. Options under
the Directors' Plan are non-qualified stock options and are granted in
increments of 5,000 shares upon each non-employee director's election or
re-election to the Board of Directors. The option price is equal to the fair
market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Options are
granted for a term of ten years and become exercisable eleven months after their
date of grant. In no event may an option be exercised after the expiration of
the term of such option.

The 1996 Stock Option Plan covers 400,000 shares. Options under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan are non-qualified stock options and are granted at the option price
fixed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors but in no event
may the option price be less than the fair market value of a share of common
stock on the date of grant. Options under the 1996 Stock Option Plan have such
term as is fixed by the Compensation Committee but no option may be exercised
during the first year after its date of grant or after the expiration of five
years from its date of grant.

Full payment of the exercise price under all stock option plans may be made in
cash or in shares of common stock valued at the fair market value thereof on the
date of exercise. The Company's policy is that such shares must have been
acquired by the optionee at least six months prior to the exercise date. No
options were exercised in 1996. In 1995 and 1994, all payments were made in
cash.

In 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS no. 123,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. The weighted-average fair value per
option at the date of grant for options granted during 1996 and 1995 was $0.74
and $0.61, respectively. The weighted-average fair value per purchase right
under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was $0.74 for 1996 subscriptions. There
were no subscriptions in 1995. The fair value was estimated using the
Black-Scholes options pricing model and the following weighted-average
assumptions:

</TABLE>

The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share for 1996 and 1995 may
not be representative of the pro forma effects in future years because they
include compensation cost calculated on a straight-line basis over the vesting
periods of the grants and do not take into consideration pro forma compensation
cost for options granted prior to 1995.

13.     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

        Pension Plan

        Until December 1995, when the plan was terminated and all assets were
        distributed, the Company had a noncontributory defined benefit pension
        plan covering all eligible employees. The plan provided for normal
        retirement at age 65, or at least age 62 with 30 years of service, and
        optional early retirement.

        In December 1993, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the
        pension plan which resulted in the freezing of all future benefits under
        the plan as of January 3, 1994.

        The Company's funding policy was to make annual contributions to the
        extent such contributions were actuarially determined and tax
        deductible. Pension expense (income) for 1995 and 1994 was $3,000 and
        ($5,000), respectively.

        Supplemental Retirement Plan

        The NAI Technologies Supplemental Retirement Plan, a non-qualified,
        un-funded pension plan was terminated in 1996. The expense related to
        this plan amounted to $146,000 and $281,000 in 1995 and 1994,
        respectively. In 1995, the actuarial computations assumed a discount
        rate of 6.75% on benefit obligations. In 1994 the assumed discount rate
        on benefit obligations was 7.25%. The assumed compensation increase was
        5% for all years. Such benefits will be paid from the Company's assets
        and not from retirement plan assets.

        The following table sets forth the funded status and cost components of
        the Company's supplemental retirement plan at December 31, 1995 and
        1994:

        Retirement Savings Plan

        The Company has a voluntary Retirement Savings Plan for all eligible
        employees which provides for basic employee contributions (up to 15% of
        compensation). Plan participants may invest in a combination of equity,
        fixed income and money market funds. The Company's 1994 contribution
        under the plan totaled $365,143. Effective August 20, 1994, the Board of
        Directors suspended the matching provisions. No contributions were made
        in 1996 or 1995. Beginning in January 1997, the Company re-instituted a
        matching provision of 100% of the first 1% of each employee's
        contribution.

        The plan also provides for a discretionary profit sharing contribution
        as determined by the Board of Directors, which may be contributed to
        each of the participant's individual accounts. The Company made no such
        contribution for 1996, 1995 or 1994.

14.     INFORMATION BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

        Information about the Company's foreign operations and export sales is
        provided in the following table. Export revenue is foreign revenue
        produced by identifiable assets located in the United States while
        foreign revenue is generated by identifiable assets located in foreign
        countries.

        In order to achieve an appropriate sharing of operating results between
        the Company's subsidiaries, transfers between geographic areas are
        accounted for on the basis of a mark-up of manufacturing costs.
        Operating earnings are total sales less operating expenses. In computing
        operating earnings, none of the following items has been added or
        deducted: general corporate expenses, interest income, interest expense
        and income taxes.

        Identifiable assets are those assets of the Company that are identified
        with the operations in each geographic area. Corporate assets consisted
        primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

15.     INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

        The Company's operations are classified into two business segments:
        Electronic Systems and Telecommunications. The Electronic Systems
        segment includes Codar Technology, Inc. based in Longmont, Colorado, NAI
        Technologies--Systems Division Corporation in Columbia, Maryland, and
        Lynwood Scientific Developments Limited in Farnham, England.

        Codar Technology designs, manufactures, integrates and supports rugged
        computer systems, advanced computer peripherals and memory systems for
        military and commercial use. Systems provides custom packaged,
        integrated computer systems for deployment in shelters, ships, land
        vehicles and other demanding environments. Lynwood supplies rugged,
        environmentally and electrically screened personal computers and
        workstations based upon standard commercial off the shelf technology,
        targeted to the military and government markets principally in
        Europe. The U.S. Government accounted for $20,619,000 or 34% and one
        other customer accounted for 16% of the Electronic Systems segment's
        1996 sales. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the
        Segment's sales.

        The Telecommunications segment currently consists of Wilcom, Inc. in
        Laconia, New Hampshire. Wilcom designs and manufactures products for use
        in the telephone industry. Wilcom's customer base includes the regional
        Bell operating companies and independent telephone companies. Two such
        customers accounted for 26% and 18%, respectively, of the
        Telecommunications segment's 1996 sales.

        Inter-segment sales are accounted for on the basis of a mark-up of
        manufacturing costs. Operating earnings are total sales less operating
        expenses. In computing operating earnings, none of the following items
        has been added or deducted: general corporate expenses, interest income,
        interest expense and income taxes.

        Identifiable assets by segment are those assets of the Company that are
        used in the Company's operations in each segment. Corporate assets
        consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

        With the acquisition of Lynwood, the Company assumed a 25 year operating
        lease for office and manufacturing facilities. Annual future minimum
        lease payments through the year 2014, which are included in the above
        table, amount to approximately $346,000 per year.

        Rental expense amounted to $1,570,000, $1,725,000 and $1,170,000 in
        1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. There was no sublease income in these
        periods.

        Most leases provide for additional payments of real estate taxes,
        insurance and other operating expenses applicable to the property,
        generally over a base period level. Total rental expense includes such
        base period expenses and the additional expense payments as part of the
        minimum lease payments.

        The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain legal actions,
        which arise, in the normal course of business. It is management's belief
        that these actions will not have a material effect on the Company's
        consolidated financial position.

willful malfeasance or willful misfeasance in office.

               4.2.   Good Reason.  "Good Reason" shall mean:

               (a) without the express prior written consent of the
        Executive, a material diminution or limitation of the Executive's
        position, duties or responsibilities with the Company from those in
        existence on the Effective Date (or, if greater, the highest
        permanent-assignment level in effect thereafter) or the assignment to
        the Executive of duties inconsistent with the position, duties,
        responsibilities or status of the Executive as of the Effective Date
        (or, if greater, the highest permanent-assignment level in effect
        thereafter); or

               (b) any failure by the Company to pay, or any reduction by
        the Company of, the base Salary of the Executive as in effect on the
        Effective Date or as the same may be increased from time to time
        thereafter; or

               (c) the failure of the Company to provide the Executive with
        the opportunity to participate, on terms no less favorable than those
        existing on the Effective Date, in any incentive benefit, bonus or
        compensation, insurance, pension or other employee benefit plan of the
        Company in effect on the Effective Date (or plans and benefits which
        are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the Executive than those the
        Executive enjoyed on the Effective Date) unless such failure results
        from the Company's termination or amendment of any such plan in response
        to a change in applicable statute or regulation, including any
        termination or amendment resulting from a materially adverse alteration
        of the tax treatment of any such plan to the Company or to plan
        participants; provided, however, that Good Reason shall not include any
        reduction in such benefit by the Company on a Company-wide basis.

               4.3.   Notice of Good Reason.

               Unless the Executive provides written notification of his
intention to resign within twenty (20) business days after the Executive knows
or has reason to know of the

                                        -3-



<PAGE>
<PAGE>



occurrence of any such event constituting Good Reason, the Executive shall be
deemed to have consented thereto and such event shall no longer constitute Good
Reason for purposes of this Agreement. If the Executive provides such written
notice to the Company, the Company shall have twenty (20) business days from the
date of receipt of such notice to effect a cure of the event described therein
and, upon cure thereof by the Company to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Executive, such event shall no longer constitute Good Reason for purposes of
this Agreement.

               4.4.Termination For Cause; Resignation Without Good Reason.

               (a) Rights on Termination. If, prior to the expiration of the
        Term, the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause
        or the Executive resigns from this employment without Good Reason, the
        Executive shall be entitled to payment of his Salary accrued through the
        date of such termination or resignation, plus any accrued but unpaid
        vacation benefits. Except as may be provided by law or expressly
        provided under the term of any plan or arrangement applicable to the
        Executive, the Executive shall have no right under this Agreement or
        otherwise to receive any other compensation or benefits, or to
        participate in any other plan, arrangement or benefit, with respect to
        future periods after such termination or resignation of Effective.

               (b) Notice of Termination for Cause. Termination of the
        Executive's employment for Cause shall be communicated by delivery to
        the Executive of a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the Board
        finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board an event
        constituting Cause for termination in accordance with Section 4.1 has
        occurred and specifying the particulars thereof (a "Notice of
        Termination"). In the event of termination for Cause as a consequence of
        the events described in Section 4.1 or any other event described in
        Section 4.1 that the Board determines in good faith is not susceptible
        of cure, the effective date of termination shall be the date of the
        Notice of Termination or such later date as may be specified in such
        notice. In the event the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause
        (unless the Board has determined in good faith that the relevant event
        giving rise to Cause is not susceptible of cure), the Executive shall
        have twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt of such Notice
        of Termination to effect a cure of the event described therein and, upon
        cure thereof by the Executive to the reasonable satisfaction of the
        Board, such event shall no longer constitute


                                        -4-



<PAGE>
<PAGE>



        Cause for purposes of this Agreement. The effective date of
        termination for Cause that has been subject to a cure period as
        described in the immediately preceding sentence which did not result in
        a cure to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board shall be the date
        immediately succeeding the last date of the twenty (20) business day
        cure period.

               (c) Notice of Resignation Without Good Reason.

               The date of resignation by the Executive without Good Reason
        shall be the date specified in a written notice of resignation from the
        Executive to the Company. The Executive shall provide at least sixty
        (60) days' advance written notice of resignation.

               4.5.   Notice of Termination Without Cause.

               The date of termination of employment without Cause shall be the
date specified in a written notice of termination to the Executive, provided
that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) business days' written
notice of such termination.

               4.6.   Notice of Resignation for Good Reason.

               The date of resignation for Good Reason shall be the date
specified in a written notice of resignation from the Executive to the Company,
provided, however, that no such written notice shall be effective unless the
twenty (20) business day cure period specified in Section 4.3 has expired
without the Company having corrected, to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Executive, the event or events.

               4.7.Termination Without Cause; Resignation For Good Reason.

               (a) Severance Amount. If, prior to the expiration of the Term,
        the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause,
        or the Executive resigns from his employment for Good Reason, the
        Company shall pay to the Executive his Salary accrued up to and
        including the effective date of such termination or resignation, plus a
        pro rata share of unused vacation for the full year, plus a pro rata
        bonus under the Company Bonus Plan, if the Board in its sole discretion
        so determines, all in a lump sum. In addition, the Company shall pay the
        Executive (i) on the dates set forth in Section 3.2(a) and (b), the
        Bonus and if such termination should occur prior to December 31, 1997
        (ii) in a lump sum, a severance payment equal to the greater of (A) his
        salary, at the


                                        -5-


<PAGE>
<PAGE>



        rate in effect at time of such termination or resignation, for the
        remainder of the Term and (B) one year's salary, at the rate in effect
        at the time of such termination or resignation (the "Severance Amount").



               (b) Other Benefits. In the event of the Executive's termination
        without Cause or his resignation for Good Reason, the Executive shall
        continue to participate on the same terms and conditions as in effect
        immediately prior to such termination or resignation in each pension,
        life insurance, health, disability and other fringe benefit plan or
        program provided to the Executive pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.5 at
        the time of such termination or resignation until the earlier of (A) six
        (6) months following the date of such termination or resignation or, if
        the Executive is required to elect such benefits immediately following
        such termination or resignation, twelve (12) months following the date
        of such termination or resignation and (B) such time as the Executive is
        eligible to be covered by a comparable program of a subsequent employer.
        The Executive agrees to notify the Company promptly if he becomes
        eligible to participate in any pension or other benefit plans, programs
        or arrangements of another employer. Notwithstanding anything contained
        herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to continue
        to maintain any plan or program solely as a result of the provisions of
        this Agreement nor provide any level of benefits if applicable law
        either prevents the Executive from participating in any such plan or
        program or would cause the Company to suffer any loss of tax benefits as
        a consequence of the Executive's continued participation during the
        Term.

               (c) Automobile: If the Company has provided the Executive with
        the use of an automobile on a continuous basis prior to the termination
        without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, the Executive shall be
        given the option to purchase such automobile on the terms outlined in
        the Company policy with respect thereto at the value in effect two years
        after the date of the termination without Cause or resignation for Good
        Reason.

               4.8.   Termination Due to Death or Disability.

               (a) In the event of the Executive's disability, as hereinafter
        defined, or death, the Company shall be entitled to terminate his
        employment. If the


                                        -6-



<PAGE>
<PAGE>



        Executive's employment shall terminate due to disability or death, any
        Salary earned by the Executive up to the date of such termination and
        any pro rata bonus to that date shall be paid to the Executive or his
        estate, as appropriate. In addition, the Bonus due to the Executive
        shall be paid on the dates set forth in Section 3.2 to the Executive or
        his estate, as appropriate.

               (b) As used herein, the term "disability" shall mean physical or
        mental disability as a result of which the Executive is unable to
        perform his duties hereunder on substantially a full-time basis for any
        period of four (4) consecutive months. Any dispute as to whether or not
        the Executive is so disabled shall be resolved by a physician,
        reasonably acceptable to the Executive and the Board, whose
        determination shall be final and binding upon both the Executive and the
        Company.

        5. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive shall be
bound by the confidentiality policy of the Company. The Executive shall not,
except as may be necessary in the discharge of duties with the Company or as may
be required by applicable law or regulations, disclose any confidential
information, knowledge or data obtained by the Executive prior to the date of
this Agreement or during the Executive's employment concerning the Company or
the business of the Company so long as such information is not publicly
available.

        6. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement that cannot be resolved by the
Executive and the Company shall, at the instance of either the Executive or the
Company, be submitted to arbitration in accordance with New York law and the
procedures of the American Arbitration Association, with all hearings to be
conducted in New York, New York. The determination of the arbitrator shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company and the Executive and judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.

        7. Legal Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, of the Company and, at
least monthly, the Executive in connection with any legal proceedings (in the
case of the Executive any legal proceedings brought or maintained in good faith)
(including, but not limited to, arbitration), whether or not instituted by the
Company or the Executive, relating to the interpretation or enforcement of any
provision of this Agreement.

        8. Assignability. The respective rights and obligations of the Executive
and the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the heirs and legal representatives of the Executive and the
successors and assigns of the Company. The Executive's rights and obligations
under this Agreement may not be assigned or alienated and any attempt to do so
by the Executive shall be void. Any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business or assets of the Company, shall assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. The provisions of
this Section 8 shall continue to apply to each subsequent employer of the
Executive hereunder in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation or
transfer of assets of such subsequent employer.

        9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be
invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or place
where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered to be divisible
as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or
place and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of the
parties to the other. The remaining provisions of the Agreement, however, shall
be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision were not
included.

        10. Miscellaneous. This Agreement is to be construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of New York,
irrespective of the principles of conflicts of law. The waiver of any breach of
this Agreement by any party shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach by any party. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement.
