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 financial 
statements have 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 and 
restricted stock is not material, and therefore is not shown.
	An amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was approved during 
the second quarter of 1996 to authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of 
preferred stock and to reduce the number of authorized shares from 24,000,000

1996.

	Segment operating profit is total revenue less operating expenses, including 
intangible amortization, and excludes interest expense, general corporate 
expenses and interest income.

5.	Under terms of a loan agreement, agented by CoreStates Bank, N.A., the 
Company has a working capital line of credit of $28,000,000 and an acquisition 
line of credit of $42,000,000, of which up to $5,000,000 could be used for
additional working capital.  The agreement requires maintenance of certain 
financial covenants, and the Company pays a commitment fee of one-eighth of one 
percent on the unused portion of the lines.
	The working capital line of credit is available through April 30, 1997.  At 
June 28, 1996, $8,722,000 was not committed for stand-by letters of credit or 
other reservations.
	The acquisition line of credit is available through May 29, 1998.  Any balance 
outstanding at that time will convert to a term loan and be amortized in equal 
principal payments over the following 60 months.
	Interest charges will be based, at the Company's option, on a function of 
either LIBOR or the Prime Rate.

6.	The components of inventories as of the balance sheet dates are as follows:

                     			June 28, 1996       	Dec. 29, 1995

7.	On October 27, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital 
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. 

8.	Other accrued liabilities as of June 28, 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 accrued 
liabilities are accruals relating to workers' compensation which amounted to 
$2,168,000 and $2,282,000 at June 28, 1996 and December 29, 1995, respectively.

9.	On October 20, 1995, the Company announced a $12,000,000 trial court verdict 
against the Company and Gilbert/Commonwealth, Inc. of Michigan relative to a 
dispute concerning construction management work performed by the former 
subsidiary of Gilbert/Commonwealth, Inc. (G/C) in 1987 for Alaska-based Homer 
Electric Association.  	As previously reported, in June 1995 the Company sold 
its G/C subsidiary to The Parsons Corporation.  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase 
Agreement, Parsons agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the Company 
against any litigation, claim or judgment brought or continued against the 
Company, arising out of the actions or operations of its former G/C subsidiary.
The final judgment, including costs and attorney's fees, totaled $13,200,000, 
and the Company has posted a bond in the amount of $15,300,000 relative to the 
judgment plus statutory interest for up to eighteen months.
	Both the Company and Gilbert/Commonwealth, Inc. Of Michigan will appeal the 
Court's judgment on independent grounds.
	Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these
proceedings, the Company believes that the jury finding regarding its liability 
in the case is contrary to established law and that it has substantial 
justification for appeal. The Company further believes that its insurance 
policies should ultimately provide coverage for liability arising from this 
lawsuit.  Given these factors and The Parsons Corporation's indemnification, no 
provision for losses has been recorded as of June 28, 1996.

10.	On June 16, 1995, the Company's Class B shareholders approved the sale of 
the Gilbert/Commonwealth, Inc. (G/C) subsidiary to The Parsons Corporation 
(Parsons) and on June 20, 1995, the Company completed the sale for a total 
purchase price of $45,932,000.  The sale of G/C resulted in a $18,742,000 gain, 
net of income taxes of $7,800,000, or $2.74 per share.  The tax benefit of a 
$8,758,000 capital loss carryforward, for which a valuation allowance was 
previously recorded, was recognized to reflect utilization of the carryforward 
associated with this transaction.
	As part of the agreement, the buyer has signed a ten year lease with the 
Company for 200,000 square feet of office space.  The consolidated condensed 
statements of operations exclude the results of G/C subsequent to March 31, 
1995, the effective date of sale pursuant to the agreement with Parsons.

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

Results of Operations

Year to Date - 1996 vs. 1995

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company sold 
Gilbert/Commonwealth, Inc. (G/C) for $45,932,000, resulting in an 
increase to net income of $18,742,000, or $2.74 per share.  G/C's 
results of operations are excluded from the consolidated condensed 
statement of operations from April 1, 1995 forward.  This sales 
transaction is more fully discussed in Note 10.

Excluding the G/C sale, net income for the first half of 1996 increased 
2% compared to the first half of 1995.  The increase relates primarily 
to a lower effective state tax rate.  Income before gain on sale of 
subsidiary and provision for taxes on income decreased 6% from the prior 
year due 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.  The technical 
services segment's results declined due primarily to the sale of G/C.  
Total revenue declined 18% in the first half of 1996 as compared to the 
first half of 1995 due primarily to the absence of G/C and United Energy 
Services Corporation (UESC), offset in part by higher revenue within the 
telecommunications segment.  The Company decided to close UESC at the 
end of 1995.  Excluding the G/C sale, earnings per share increased 13% 
in the first half 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.

Second Quarter - 1996 vs. 1995

Excluding the G/C sale, net income increased 11% in the second quarter 
of 1996 as compared to the second quarter of 1995.  The increase relates 
primarily to higher operating profit within the real estate segment and 
a lower effective state tax rate, offset in part by lower interest 
income, which in 1995 was higher due to the proceeds on the G/C sale.  
Revenue increased 3% due primarily to higher revenue within the 
telecommunications segment, offset in part by a decline within the 
technical services segment.  Earnings per share increased 19%, which is 
greater than the change in net income due to fewer shares outstanding.

In the current quarter, income before gain on sale of subsidiary and 
provision for taxes on income increased 5% from the second quarter of 
1995 due primarily to improved operations within the real estate and 
technical services segments, offset in part by lower interest income.

Telecommunications Segment

The telecommunications segment's operating profit decreased 7% on a 
revenue increase of 71% in the first half of 1996 as compared to the 
same period in 1995.  The gross profit percentage decreased from 38% for 
the first half of 1995 to 35% for the first half of 1996.

For the current quarter, the telecommunications segment's operating 
profit decreased 3% on a revenue increase of 71% from the second quarter 
of 1995.  The gross profit percentage decreased from 37% for the second 
quarter of 1995 to 35% in the current quarter.

The increases in revenue relates primarily to the inclusion of XEL.  The 
unfavorable relationships between the changes in operating profit and 
revenue stems from slightly profitable operations at XEL and higher 
selling, general and administrative expenses within GAI-Tronics.  The 
gross profit percentage declined in both periods due to XEL.

The gross profit percentages have changed from prior reports due to a 
reclassification of costs within the telecommunications segment.

Technical Services Segment

The technical services segment operating profit declined 34%, with 
revenues down 46% in the first half of 1996 as compared to the same 
period last year.  The gross profit percentage declined from 20% in the 
first half of 1995 to 13% in the first half of 1996.  These declines are 
primarily the result of the disposals of G/C and UESC mentioned above.

The operating profits and revenue of the remaining units, Resource 
Consultants, Inc. (RCI) and SRA Technologies (SRA), decreased 6% in the 
first two quarters of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The 
gross profit percentage on these units was 13% in the first half of 1996 
and 12% in the first half of 1995.

Revenues declined 25% and the gross profit percentage declined from 14% 
in the second quarter of 1995 to 13% in the current quarter.  These 
declines relate primarily to the absence of UESC's operations in the 
current quarter.  Operating profit improved 24% from the second quarter 
of 1995 as compared to the current quarter due primarily to improved 
results from the remaining units.

The current quarter operating profits of the remaining units improved 
15% on a revenue decline of 9% from the second quarter of 1995.  The 
gross profit percentage increased from 12% in the second quarter of 1995 
to 13% in the current quarter.  The favorable relationship between the 
change in operating profits and revenue is due primarily to the benefits 
realized from consolidating lab operations.

Real Estate Segment

The real estate segment operating profit was $1,167,000 and $649,000 for 
the first half and second quarter of 1996, respectively, as compared to 
$162,000 and $265,000 in the same periods of 1995.  The increases in 
operating profit are primarily due to revenue increases of 41% and 37% 
for the first half and current quarter respectively, when compared to 
the same periods in 1995, which in turn relate primarily to a higher 
rate of leased space.  The total square feet available for lease is 
approximately 550,000 of which approximately 96% is leased as of June 
28, 1996.  Approximately 8% is leased to related subsidiaries.  Although 
the Company anticipates improved results from the prior year in its real 
estate operations, it should be noted that the Company is currently 
evaluating its options for monetizing its real estate assets.

Other Income

Other income includes interest income of $169,000 and $68,000 for the 
six and three month periods ended June 28, 1996, respectively, as 
compared to $652,000 and $593,000 in the same periods of 1995.  Prior 
year interest income was higher due to the proceeds from the G/C sale.

Selling, General and Administration

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 22% from first 
half of 1995 to the first half of 1996.  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.  Research and 
development costs, which are included in selling, general and 
administrative expenses, increased from $1,459,000 in the first half of 
1995 to $3,840,000 for the first half of 1996.  The increase relates to 
XEL.

For the current quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased 11% from the second quarter of 1995 due primarily to the costs 
associated with XEL, offset in part by the absence of UESC costs.  
Research and development costs increased from $745,000 in the second 
quarter of 1995 to $1,851,000 in the current quarter due to the addition 
of XEL.

Provision for Taxes on Income

Excluding the effect of the G/C sale, the provision for taxes on income 
decreased from an effective rate of 43% in the first half of 1995 to 38% 
in the first half of 1996.  The effective rate decreased from 42% in the 
second quarter of 1995 to 38% in the current quarter.  The decreases 
relate primarily to lower state taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital decreased $2,095,000, or 6% in the first half of 1996.  
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2,593,000.  Amounts generated from 
operations, combined with the available cash and cash equivalents and 
lines of credit should provide adequate working capital to satisfy the 
contingent payments to former IAI principals and XEL shareholders.

Lines of credit with Corestates Bank, N.A., in the amount of $70,000,000 
are available to fund both short-term cash needs as well as future 
acquisitions.  These lines are more fully discussed in Note 5.

The Company estimates that its total capital expenditures in 1996, 
excluding acquisitions, will be approximately $8,000,000.  However, only 
$4,000,000 relates to ongoing operations.  The additional $4,000,000 
will be used for one time real estate related expenditures.  No 
restrictions on cash transfers between the Company and its subsidiaries 
exist.

Other

On June 5, 1996, the Board of Directors announced that the Company has 
begun to explore strategic options for its remaining units within the 
technical services segment.  Separate investment banking firms have been 
retained to develop strategies for both SRA and RCI.  Also, as 
previously disclosed, the Company is continuing to explore options for 
monetizing its real estate holdings.  Alternatives could include an 
outright sale, a spin-off or leveraging.

Upon completion of the foregoing, the Company will be focused on 
telecommunications.

Final decisions and the execution of plans for the three operations 
could take up to one year to complete.  In the interim, and until 
definite decisions are made, operations at SRA and RCI, along with the 
Company's real estate division, will continue normally and their results 
will be included in ongoing operations.

The Form 10-Q 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.
