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.  Such adjustments 
are of a normal recurring nature.  The consolidated condensed statements of 
operations and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows as of March 
31, 1995 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.	Business segment information:

stock of XEL Corporation (XEL).  As part of the stock purchase agreement, the 
Company paid XEL shareholders approximately $954,000 in the first quarter of 
1996.  Also, under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay XEL 
shareholders additional incremental amounts through 1998 based upon the 
achievement of certain earnings and revenue objectives.  Any additional amounts 
will increase goodwill.

5.	Other accrued liabilities as of March 29, 1996 and December 29, 1995 include 
a $2,200,000 reserve for costs associated with a claim filed by a former 
employee of a subsidiary which was closed in 1988.  Also included in other

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

Results of Operations

First Quarter - 1996 vs. 1995

Net income for the first quarter of 1996 declined 8% compared to the 
first quarter of 1995.  The decrease relates primarily to lower 
operating profit within the technical services segment offset in part by 
higher operating profit within the real estate segment and reduced 
corporate expenses.  In particular, the technical services segment 
results declined due to the absence of Gilbert/Commonwealth, Inc.'s 
(G/C) and United Energy Services Corporation's (UESC) earnings.  Due to 
the sale of G/C last year, the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was the last 
quarter that G/C contributed to the Company's earnings.  Also, as of 
December 29, 1995, the Company decided to close UESC which therefore did 
not contribute to the Company's operating results for the current 
quarter.  Revenue declined 32% in the comparable quarters due to the 
absence of G/C and UESC, and was offset in part by higher revenue within 
the telecommunications segment.  Earnings per share increased 6% in the 
first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  The 
percentage changes in net income and earnings per share differed due to 
fewer shares outstanding.

Technical Services Segment

The technical services segment's operating profit declined 60%, with 
revenues down 58% in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same 
period last year.  The gross profit percentage declined from 24% in the 
first quarter of 1995 to 12% in the first quarter of 1996.  These 
declines are primarily the result of the disposals of G/C and UESC 
mentioned above.  The 1995 gross profit percentage has changed from 
prior reports due to a reclassification of costs.

The operating profits of the remaining units within the technical 
services segment decreased 26% on a 2% decline in revenue in the 
comparable first quarters.  The gross profit percentage within these 
units decreased from 13% in 1995 to 12% in 1996.  The decline in 
operating profits stems primarily from higher research and development 
costs coupled with the slight decline in gross profit percentage.

Telecommunications Segment

The telecommunications segment's operating profit decreased 10% on a 
revenue increase of 70% in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the 
same period in 1995.  The increase in revenue relates primarily to the 
inclusion of XEL Communication's (XEL) revenue.  The unfavorable 
relationship between the change in operating profit and revenue stems 
from break-even operations at XEL and higher selling, general and 
administrative expenses within GAI-Tronics.  The increase in selling, 
general and administrative costs relates primarily to additional costs 
associated with the introduction of new products.  The gross profit 
percentage decreased from 39% in the first quarter of 1995 to 34% in the
current quarter due primarily to the inclusion of XEL.  The 1995 gross 
profit percentage has changed from prior reports due to a 
reclassification of costs within the telecommunications segment.

Real Estate Segment

The real estate segment reported an operating profit for the first 
quarter of 1996 as compared to a loss in the same period of 1995.  The 
increase in operating profit is primarily due to a revenue increase of 
45%, which in turn relates primarily to a higher level of leased space.  
The total square feet available for lease is approximately 550,000 of 
which approximately 96% is leased as of March 29, 1996.  Approximately 
8% is leased to related subsidiaries.  Although the Company anticipates 
increased results from the prior year, it should be noted that the 
Company is currently exploring its options to monetize its real estate 
assets.

Selling, General and Administration

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 42% from first 
quarter of 1995 to the current quarter.  The large decline is primarily 
related to the absence of G/C and UESC as well as lower corporate costs, 
offset in part by the costs associated with XEL.

Income before Provision for Taxes

Income before provision for taxes decreased 16% in the first quarter of 
1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  The decrease relates 
primarily to the absence of earnings from G/C and UESC, offset in part 
by higher operating profit within the real estate segment and reduced 
corporate expenses.

Provision for Taxes

The provision for taxes on income decreased from an effective rate of 
44% in the first quarter of 1995 to 38% in the first quarter of 1996.  
The decrease relates primarily to lower state taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital decreased $2,278,000, or 7% in the first quarter of 
1995.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2,180,000.  The decreases 
relate primarily to higher payments for property, plant and equipment 
and the payment to former XEL shareholders (Note 4).  Amounts generated 
from operations, combined with the available cash and cash equivalents 
and short-term lines of credit should provide adequate working capital 
at least through 1996, including capital expenditures as discussed 
below, and to satisfy the contingent payments to former Instrument 
Associates, Inc. principals and XEL shareholders.

Lines of credit with two banks aggregating $28,000,000 are available for 
short-term cash needs.  The short-term lines of  credit consist of the 
following:  Meridian Bank, $25,000,000, which expires April 30, 1997;
and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., $3,000,000, which expires 
June 30, 1996.  At March 29, 1996, the entire Chase line was available 
and $6,329,000 was available under the Meridian line.  Outstanding 
borrowings under these lines bear interest at a function of the prime 
rate.  The Chase line is used primarily to secure stand-by letters of 
credit posted by the Company.  The current Meridian line is used to fund 
short-term working capital requirements as well as secure stand-by 
letters of credit .  The Company expects to establish a credit facility 
during 1996 which would be used to fund further acquisitions as well as 
other working capital requirements.  The Company estimates that its 
total capital expenditures in 1996 will be approximately $8,800,000.  
However, only $4,400,000 relates to ongoing operations.  The additional 
$4,400,000 will be used for one time real estate related expenditures.  
No restrictions on cash transfers between the Company and its 
subsidiaries exist.

The Form 10Q contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature 
relating to future events or the future financial performance of the 
Company.  Such statements are only predictions and involve risks and 
uncertainties, and actual events or performance may differ materially.  
Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:  the 
effect of general economic conditions, the impact of competitive 
products, services and pricing, and demand and market acceptance risks 
of current and new products and services; with respect to the Technical 
Services segment, its dependence on the U.S. government as a customer; 
and with respect to the Telecommunications segment, the uncertain effect 
of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, technology change, and risks of 
product development and commercialization difficulties.
