Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 1995 and 1994
(Unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the company believes that
the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial
statements reflect all necessary adjustments and reclassifications that are
necessary for fair presentation for the periods presented. It is suggested
that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
company's latest annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
Inventories
Inventories at September 30, 1995 consist of raw materials (plastics)
that are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined by the use of the
first-in, first-out method.
Earnings Per Share
Per share earnings are calculated based on weighted average shares.
Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of previously granted stock options,
with exercise prices between $1.75 and $4.40 per share. As of September 30,
1995, the closing bid price of the stock was $7.50 per share.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percentages of major items reflected
in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a percentage of
revenue.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Nine Months Ended
Sept. 30
1995 1994

Other Expense <1.20> <.36>
Interest <.67> <.73>
Provision for income taxes <.81> <.64>
Net Earnings .78% .72%
</TABLE>
The Company posted revenues of $15.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, a 4% increase compared to the same period last year; for
the first nine months of the year, revenues were $43.4 million, up $2.9
million or 7% over last year. Approximately 96% of the Company's revenues
were from QuesTech Research Division ("QTRD"), which during the quarter,
benefited from a 7% revenue increase due to continued business growth. QTRD
derives over 55% of its revenues from its two largest Army contracts.
Performance on a recently awarded Army contract, its largest by far, has
stalled, pending resolution of a bid protest filed by a competitor, and is not
reflected in the results of operations. The matter is currently under
adjudication by the Government Accounting Office (GAO), which is not expected
to render a decision until December 1995. Initial production efforts at
QuesTech Ventures Inc. ("QVI"), a subsidiary, were hampered, pending final
technical review of its process; thus, no sales were reported for the quarter
just ended. Management believes that the delays are short-term and reasonable
in a start-up production venture. QuesTech Service Company ("QTSC") continues
to operate at half of last year's levels, with improved margins.
Total operating expenses were $15.1 million and $41.9 million for the
quarter and the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, up $409,200 and
$2.4 million, respectively when compared to last year. Most of the cost
increase was due to direct labor salaries and other operating expenses which
were contractually required, such as the costs of direct subcontracts. Costs
incurred in connection with continued equipment testing and quality control
efforts at QVI were mitigated by reduced operating expenses at QTSC. For the
Company as a whole, the net increase in indirect expenses compared to last
year was proportionally less than the labor costs associated with increased
billable hours.
<PAGE>
Income from operations for the nine month period ended September 30,
1995 increased by $507,200, up 51% over last year. Approximately $201,700 of
this amount was earned during the third quarter, due to improved margins on
the Company's existing contracts, and a stable level of indirect expenses, as
a result of management's cost containment efforts. These efforts included
renegotiation of facility leases and more selective bid and proposal planning.
For the nine month period, interest expense declined when compared to
last year. The third quarter interest expense upturn was due to a general
increase in the Company's borrowing rate (up by 3 percentage points over last
year as a result of the increase in the prime rate), and more frequent line of
credit borrowings to finance QTRD's growth and QVI's initial production
efforts. Increased interest expense from line of credit borrowings, however,
was offset by interest cost savings from amortized long-term debt. Other
expense reflects the cost of legal proceedings, specifically from the
restructuring of the headquarters' facility lease and claims against the
previous landlord. It also includes the cost of the recently negotiated
settlement agreement with Mr. O. E. Hayes, a former founder. See Item 5,
Other Information.
Despite the impact of Other Expense on Income from Operations, pre-tax
earnings were $200,500 and $688,900, up 31% for the quarter and 25% for the
nine month period, respectively, when compared to last year. Net earnings
(after taxes) were $98,100 for the quarter, and $337,500 for the nine-month
period, up 21% and 16% respectively over last year.
After accounting for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents
consisting mainly of outstanding stock options, primary earnings per share
were $.07 for the quarter and $.24 for the nine months; after full dilution,
(i.e., considering the full dilutive effect of these same options, vested or
not), earnings per share were $.06 and $.22 for the same periods,
respectively. Last year's earnings per share were $.06 for the quarter and
$.21 for the nine-month period.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The following table sets forth certain financial data with respect to
changes in the Company's liquidity and capital resources since December 31,
1994 (in thousands of dollars, except working capital ratio):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
9/30/95 12/31/94 NET CHANGES
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Working capital $ 2,554 $ 2,903 $<349>
Current assets 10,813 10,799 14
Current liabilities 8,259 7,896 363
Working capital ratio (1) 1.31 1.37 <.06>
(1) Current assets over current liabilities.
</TABLE>
The Company relied on cash flows from operations and frequent line of
credit borrowings to finance the cost of its business growth. As of September
30, 1995, the Company has made cash outlays in excess of $500,000 towards the
following: leasehold improvements in the reconfigured headquarters' facility;
new purchases and upgrades of personal computers, furniture, and other office
equipment. Additionally, the Company also financed the construction in
progress costs of QuesTech Ventures Inc.'s plant improvements and machinery,
which at September 30, 1995, approximated $700,000. Management estimates that
capital expenditures will total approximately $2,000,000 by year-end. The
Company is financing the start-up costs for QVI's manufacturing equipment and
inventories internally. Management is currently exploring other financing
options for QVI's needs. Recently, the Company's line of credit agreement
with Signet Bank was extended until December 31, 1995, with no other
significant changes in terms.
<PAGE>
INFLATION
The impact of inflation on the Company's costs should be minimal due to
the fact that increased costs of this type are normally included in the
pricing structure or otherwise recovered through reimbursement of contract
costs incurred.
BACKLOG
The term "backlog" includes the aggregate contract revenues remaining to
be earned at the stated time, to the extent of the value of the underlying
contract award. Virtually all of the Company's backlog is expected to be
completed within five years. The following table reflects the Company's
funded and unfunded backlog as of September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Funded Backlog Unfunded Backlog

*The unfunded backlog includes the $300 million contract value of the recently
awarded Department of the Army contract which is currently the subject of a
protest described under Results of Operations above.
</TABLE>
The term "funded" refers to that portion of aggregate contract revenues
remaining to be earned which is covered by funding appropriations and
allotments to the contract by the procuring agency. The term "unfunded"
refers to the excess of the value of the contract award over the funded value.
Management does not provide any assurance that its customers will authorize
funding amounts in addition to funding commitments existing as of the period
just ended.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The following information is furnished regarding legal proceedings in
which material developments have occurred during the period covered by this
Report. Litigation first reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for June 30,
1994 in which there have been no material developments during the third
quarter, has been omitted.
A. QuesTech, Inc. v. 7600 Limited Partnership
The Company's civil action for damages against its former landlord,
which had been dismissed by the Circuit Court for Fairfax County in May 195,
was the object of a Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs filed by the landlord
on August 18, 1995. QuesTech filed an opposition to the Motion on September
29, 1995. Thereafter, on October 19, 1995, the landlord withdrew its Motion
without prejudice.
B. QuesTech, Inc. v. 7600 Limited Partnership
This second civil action for damages against the Company's former
landlord, in which the Circuit Court for Fairfax County had entered a ruling
in favor of the landlord in June 1995, was also the object of a Motion for
Attorneys' Fees and Costs filed by the landlord on August 18, 1995. QuesTech
filed an opposition to the Motion on September 29, 1995. Thereafter, on
October 19, 1995, the landlord withdrew its Motion without prejudice.
The Company including its subsidiaries, are not subject to any other
material pending legal proceedings, and none of the assets of the Company or
its subsidiaries are subject to any such proceedings, other than what
constitutes routine litigation incidental to the business and against which
the Company is adequately insured or which is not material.
Item 5. Other Information
On July 19, 1995, the Company entered into a confidential settlement
agreement with Oscar E. Hayes, a former founder, officer and director of the
Company. The agreement resolved a number of disputes regarding the
interpretation of Mr. Hayes' former employment agreements, retirement and
pension plans, and stock rights with the Company. The agreement with Mr.
Hayes is confidential; however, its ramifications have been included in the
Company's financial statements for the quarter ending September 30, 1995.
