   (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are, in the 
   opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of 
   financial position and results of operations for the interim 
   periods.  The consolidated condensed statement of cash flows has 
   been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

2. Net income per share of common stock was determined using the 
   average number of Class A and Class B shares outstanding.  The 
   effect on net income per share resulting from dilution upon 
   exercise of outstanding stock options is not material, and 
   therefore is not shown.

3. In the first quarter of 1993, the company adopted Statement of 
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting 
   for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106).  As a 
   result, a $900,000 charge (net of $600,000 income tax benefit) or 
   $.12 per share was recorded by the company as a cumulative effect 
   of change in accounting principle.

4. In the first quarter of 1993, the company adopted Statement of 
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income 
   Taxes" (SFAS 109).  As a result of this change, net income 
   increased $700,000 or $.09 per share as a cumulative effect of 
   change in accounting principle.

5. During the first quarter of 1994, the company paid the former 
   stockholders of GENSYS $1,500,000 as part of the purchase 
   agreement for achieving certain earnings objectives.  This 
   resulted in an increase in goodwill of $1,360,000, net of an 
   income tax benefit of $140,000.

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

Net income and earnings per share decreased 48% and 43% 
respectively, for the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the 
first quarter of 1993, after excluding a net charge to income of 
$200,000 ($.03 per share) in 1993.  The net charge relates to the 
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, which are 
more fully discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated 
condensed financial statements.  The decline in net income 
relates primarily to lower operating results within the 
engineering and consulting segment.  The favorable relationship 
between the change in net income and earnings per share is due to 
fewer shares outstanding.

The engineering and consulting segment reported a 3% decrease in 
revenue for the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the same 
period in 1993.  This decrease is primarily due to a decline in 
services provided to the nuclear power market.  The decline was 
partially offset by revenue from SRA Technologies, Inc. (SRA), 
which was acquired on December 10, 1993.  The gross profit 
percentage decreased from 24% in the first quarter of 1993 
to 23% in the current quarter due primarily to competitive 
pressures, particularly in the nuclear power market.

The communications equipment segment revenue increased 15% for 
the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the first quarter of 
1993.  The increase relates primarily to revenue from Instrument
Associates, Inc. (IAI), which was acquired on December 28, 1993. 
The gross profit percentage decreased from 36% in the first quarter 
of 1993 to 32% in the current quarter.  This decrease is due primarily 
to costs associated with consolidating manufacturing operations. 

Other income declined 1% compared to the first quarter of last 
year due primarily to lower interest income.  The decline is 
attributed to lower investment balances.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2% in the 
current quarter from the first quarter of 1993 primarily due to 
the addition of SRA.  Depreciation and amortization increased 11% 
in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the same period last 
year due primarily to additional amortization associated with the 
recent acquisitions.

Income before provision for taxes on income and cumulative effect 
of changes in accounting principles decreased 47% in the first 
quarter of 1994 as compared to the first quarter of 1993 primarily 
due to lower operating results within the engineering and consulting 
segment.  In order for results to improve, higher revenue volume 
and gross profit must be achieved and selling, general and 
administrative costs must be reduced to a level consistent with 
revenue volume within the engineering and consulting segment.

<PAGE>
The effective tax rate increased from 40% to 41% from the first 
quarter of 1993 to the first quarter of 1994.  The increase 
relates to higher non-deductible expenses coupled with a 
decrease in income before provision for taxes on income and 
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.  

Working capital decreased $2,295,000 and cash and cash 
equivalents decreased $9,725,000 in the first three months of 
1994 primarily due to the repayment of notes payable.  The 
company does not anticipate requiring outside long-term financing 
during the next year.  Amounts generated from operations, 
combined with the available cash and cash equivalents and short-
term lines of credit, should provide adequate working capital to 
satisfy operating requirements, contingent payment to former IAI 
principals and the ongoing program to repurchase the company's 
Class A common stock, of which approximately $3,500,000 remains.  
Unused lines of credit with three banks aggregating $15,815,000 
are also available for short-term cash needs.  No restrictions on 
cash transfers between the company and its subsidiaries exist.
