                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (unaudited)


          1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS - On January 1, 1996, the Company
          consolidated the operations of Miltope Corporation and Miltope
          Business Products.

          2.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - In the opinion of the Company, the
          accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
          statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of only
          normal and recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial
          position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of  March 31,
          1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the
          thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.

          The results for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1995 and 1996
          are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire year. 
          It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be
          read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
          for the year ended December 31, 1995. 

          3.  INVENTORIES

          Inventories consist of the following:

                                            =============   =============

          4.  OTHER ASSETS -  The Company has an investment available for
          sale in M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers, Ltd. ("M-Systems"), a
          company based in Israel.  The Company is a major customer of M-
          Systems.  The Company currently owns 20,529 shares of M-Systems
          stock. The fair market value of the Company s investment in M-
          Systems stock on March 31, 1996 is $78,000 and is included in
          other assets and as a separate component of stockholders  equity
          (net of deferred income taxes) on the accompanying condensed
          consolidated balance sheet.  The Company has provided notice to
          M-Systems of its intent to exercise its option to purchase an
          additional 153,242 shares of M-Systems stock at a price of
          $231,000.  No value has been ascribed to the option at March 31,
          1996.

          5.  INCOME TAXES - The income tax provision in the first quarter
          was completely offset by the utilization of the Company s net
          operating loss carryforward.   A net deferred tax asset could be
          recognized in future periods if the probability of realization
          increases.

          6.  CONTINGENCY -  In relation to a significant contract which
          was terminated in October 1992, the Company has an equitable
          adjustment claim of $2.4 million, which is part of its prime
          contractor s claim against its customer, and has submitted a
          termination settlement proposal which is presently in
          negotiation.  In 1994, $800,000 of the equitable adjustment claim
          was recognized as revenue.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          GENERAL
          -------

               The following discussion and analysis presents certain
          factors affecting the Company's results of operations for the
          thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995.


          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

               Net sales for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 1996
          (first quarter) were $10.0 million compared to net sales of $16.2
          million for the same period in 1995.  The decrease in sales was
          the result of lower military product sales.      

               The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 1996
          was 26.7% compared to 15.7% for the same period in 1995.  The
          improved gross margin performance was partially attributable to a
          more favorable product mix.  The lower gross margin for the first
          quarter of 1995 reflects the impact of the relocation
          difficulties originally encountered in 1994.

               Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first
          quarter 1996 decreased 31.7% from the first quarter of 1995,  to
          approximately $1.7 million. Selling, general and administrative
          expenses as a percent of sales were 16.6% in the first quarter of
          1996 compared to 15% in 1995.  The increase in 1996 as a percent
          of sales principally reflects the lower sales volume.

               Engineering, research and development expenses for the first
          quarter 1996 decreased 45.7% from the first quarter of 1995 to
          $566 thousand.  Engineering, research and development expenses as
          a percent to sales were 5.7% in the first quarter of 1996
          compared to 6.4% for the same period in 1995.  Management
          believes that an annual expenditure level of between 5% and 7% of
          net sales should adequately maintain the Company s
          competitiveness and allow for new product development. 

               Interest expense, net of interest income, was $321 thousand
          in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $412 thousand for the
          same period in 1995.  The decrease reflects decreased debt
          compared to the prior year. 

               Net earnings for the first quarter of 1996 as compared to
          the same period in 1995 increased $1.4 million to $117 thousand. 
          Earnings per share were $0.02 compared to a loss per share of
          $0.23 for the same period a year ago based on a weighted average
          of 5.9 million shares and 5.8 million shares of the Company s
          common stock outstanding for the respective periods.

               The income tax provision in the first quarter was completely
          offset by the utilization of the Company s net operating loss
          carryforward.   A net deferred tax asset could be recognized in
          future periods if the probability of realization increases.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
          -------------------------------

               Working capital approximated $20 million at March 31, 1996
          compared to $18.9 million at December 31, 1995.

               A $15 million revolving credit agreement bears interest at
          the bank's reference rate plus .25%.  As of March 31, 1996, the
          Company had approximately $4.2 million available under such
          facility.  The revolving credit facility balance was $10.8
          million at March 31, 1996 compared to $10.3 million at December
          31, 1995.  The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature
          on May 31, 1997 at which time the outstanding amount would be
          converted into a term loan, payable in twelve (12) equal
          quarterly installments.  However, the bank may extend the
          revolving credit facility for successive one (1) year periods
          based upon a review of the Company's financial position.  The
          Company's accounts receivable, contract rights and inventories'
          are pledged as collateral to the agreement.
