          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    
1.  The financial statements furnished herein reflect all adjustments
    which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
    presentation of financial position and results of operations for the
    interim periods.  Prior year's consolidated condensed balance sheet
    and statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with
    the 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.  During the second quarter of 1994, the company closed foreign
    subsidiaries and settled certain contractual issues which had been
    previously reserved.  The combination of these two events increased
    net income by $75,000 or $.01 per share.  Income before provision
    for taxes on income and cumulative effect of changes in accounting
    principles was reduced by $525,000.  Of this amount, $1,100,000
    related primarily to a reserve for a lease obligation and severance 
    costs, which was partially offset by a $700,000 favorable outcome on 
    the aforementioned contract settlement.  These amounts were recorded 
    in selling, general and administrative expenses.  The provision for
    taxes on income was reduced by $600,000 primarily due to a federal
    income tax deduction associated with the closure of foreign
    subsidiaries.
    
4.  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.

5.  In the first quarter of 1993, the company adopted Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
    Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension" (SFAS 106).  As a
    result of this change, 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.
    
6.  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, an increase to net income 
    of $700,000 or $.09 per share was recorded by the company as a 
    cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.
    
7.  The consolidated net income for the quarter ended July 2, 1993
    includes a charge to income of $1,320,000 (net of $880,000 income
    tax benefit), or $.18 per share, to increase reserves for costs
    associated with resolving a series of claims filed by former
    employees of a subsidiary which was closed in 1988.  The company
    intends to contest these matters vigorously and is in the process of
    pursuing various legal actions.  The timing of the final resolution
    is not yet known.

           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
                   Operations and Financial Condition
                                    
                                    
Excluding adjustments, net income and earnings per share decreased 48%
and 45%, respectively, in the first six months of 1994 as compared to
the same period of 1993 and, in the current quarter, declined 49% and
46%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 1993.  Adjustments
included a $75,000 increase in net income or $.01 per share in the
current quarter relative to closing foreign subsidiaries and settlement
of certain contractual issues (Note 3), a $1,320,000 reduction in net
income or $.18 per share in the second quarter of 1993 to increase
reserves for claims filed by former employees (Note 7), and a $200,000
reduction in net income or $.03 per share for changes in accounting
principles in the first quarter of 1993 (Notes 5 and 6).  The decreases 
in net income relate primarily to lower operating results within the 
engineering and consulting segment.  The favorable relationships between 
the changes in net income and earnings per share is due to fewer shares 
outstanding.

The engineering and consulting segment revenue decreased 2% and 1% for
the six and three month periods in 1994, respectively, as compared to
the same periods in 1993.  These decreases are primarily due to declines
in services provided to the nuclear power market.  These declines are
partially offset by revenue from SRA Technologies, Inc. (SRA), which was
acquired on December 10, 1993.  The gross profit percentage decreased
from 24% in both the six and three month periods of 1993 to 23% for the
same periods in 1994.  These decreases are primarily due to competitive
pressures within the nuclear power market.

The communication equipment segment revenue increased 9% and 3% for the
six and three month periods in 1994, respectively, as compared to the
same periods in 1993.  The increases relate primarily to the acquisition
of Instrument Associates, Inc. (IAI), which was acquired on December 28,
1993.  The gross profit percentage decreased from 36% to 32% in both the
six and three month periods of 1994 as compared to 1993.  The decreases
relate primarily to costs associated with consolidating manufacturing
operations.

Prior to the adjustments mentioned above, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 3% for both the six and three month
periods of 1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993.  The increases
relate primarily to the acquisition of SRA.  Depreciation  and
amortization increased 11% and 10% for the six and three month periods
in 1994, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1993, due
primarily to the recent acquisitions.

Excluding the adjustments mentioned above, income before provision for
taxes on income and cumulative effect of changes in accounting
principles decreased 46% for both the six and three month periods of
1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993.  The decreases relate
primarily to lower operating results within the engineering and
consulting segment, particularly the nuclear power market.

Excluding the aforementioned adjustments, the effective tax rate for the
first six months of 1994 increased to 42% from 40% for the same period
last year.  The effective tax rate for the current quarter increased to
43% from 39% for the second quarter of 1993.  The increases relate to a
higher ratio of non-deductible expenses to income before provision for
taxes on income and cumulative effect of changes in accounting
principles.

Working capital decreased $2,375,000 and cash and cash equivalents
decreased $7,738,000 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 $15,600,000 are also available for short-term
cash needs.  No restrictions on cash transfers between the company and
its subsidiaries exist.
