                  PACIFIC SCIENTIFIC COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1)        INTERIM ACCOUNTING POLICY

          Interim periods are viewed as an integral part of the annual period.
          Accordingly, the results for each of the interim periods presented
          are based on the accounting principles and practices followed by the
          Company in the preparation of its annual financial statements.
          Certain costs and expenses are assigned to the periods presented so
          that the interim periods bear a reasonable portion of the anticipated
          annual amount.  Included among these are estimated amounts for
          inventory adjustments, performance bonuses, employee fringe benefits
          and income taxes.  The financial statements presented, in the opinion
          of management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly
          the Company's interim financial statements.



2)        SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

          Effective as of the beginning of fiscal year 1994, the Company
          adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,
          "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
          The adoption of this standard required the Company to classify and
          account for investments in equity securities that have readily
          determinable fair values and for all debt securities into three
          categories; (1) debt securities that the Company has the intent and
          the ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity
          securities" and reported at amortized cost; (2) debt and equity
          securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of
          selling them in the near term are classified as "trading securities"
          and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included
          in earnings; and (3) debt and equity securities not classified as
          held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as
          "available-for-sale securities" and reported at fair value, with
          unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a
          separate component of stockholders' equity.

          At January 1, 1994 and at July 1, 1994, all of the Company's
          investments represent short-term available-for-sale securities and
          have been recorded at fair value which approximates the historical
          cost of the investments.  These investments are primarily composed of
          debt securities of municipalities of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
          with contractual maturities beginning in 1998 or later.  The
          Company's adoption of SFAS 115 did not have a material effect of the
          financial statements on the Company.

3)        EARNINGS PER SHARE

          Earnings per common and common equivalent share were computed by
          dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and
          common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.  Common
          equivalent shares consist of the estimated number of shares issuable
          upon exercise of dilutive stock options reduced by the number of
          common shares assumed to have been reacquired with the proceeds from
          exercise of the options.

             NOTE:      The Company has outstanding convertible subordinated
                        debentures.  Inclusion of these debentures would be
                        antidilutive and, accordingly, they have been excluded
                        from the above totals.


4)        CONTINGENCIES
                
          The Company is a co-defendant in an action filed in July, 1993 in
          connection with the sales of certain assets in 1990 and 1991 and with 
          a covenant not to compete with the Company entered into for a five
          year period. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of
          contract, and claims damages of $7,000,000 plus punitive damages of
          ten times the actual damages. The Company intends to defend this
          matter vigorously and believes any related award or settlement
          would not have a material effect on the Company's financial
          statements.

5)        RECLASSIFICATIONS

          Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 amounts to
          conform to the 1994 financial statement presentation.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


QUARTERLY COMPARISON (SECOND QUARTER 1994 VS. SECOND QUARTER 1993)


Net sales were $57,188,000 in the second quarter of 1994, a 15% or $7,261,000
increase in sales over the same period in the prior year.  Second quarter sales
in the Electrical Equipment segment were up 28% or $8,694,000.  The
acquisitions of Powertec Industrial Corporation and Automation Intelligence,
Inc. in the third quarter of 1993 and Royce Thompson Electric Ltd. in the
second quarter of 1994 accounted for $6,890,000 of the increase in sales.  The
sales from the Safety Equipment segment decreased by 8% or $1,433,000.

Gross margin on sales increased 2.7% in the current quarter from the prior year
reflecting control of costs and expenses.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased from 20.4% of sales in 1993 to 21% in 1994 due to added
marketing expenses which should contribute to future sales growth.  Research
and development expenses increased by 13% reflecting continued emphasis on new
product development.

Income before taxes increased 33% primarily due to a 15% increase in sales and
improved gross margins.  Acquisitions made in 1993 and 1994 accounted for
$396,000  or 44% of the increase in pre-tax income.

The estimated annual effective tax rate for 1994 is 39% as compared to last
year's estimate of 41% for the second quarter.  The actual annual effective tax
rate for 1993 was approximately 35% reflecting principally the settlement of an
IRS examination for 1986, 1987 and 1988 and the refinement of estimates made
during the first half of 1993.  The increase in the estimated effective tax
rate for 1994 to 39% reflects the impact of recent tax legislation and the non
deductibility of certain intangibles acquired after the first quarter of 1993.

Net income of $0.40 per share in 1994 compares to $0.30 per share in the second
quarter of 1993.

Orders for Electrical Equipment totaled $43,209,000, up 58% as compared to the
same period in the prior year.  Orders for Safety Equipment during the second
quarter totaled $15,856,000, down 17% as compared to the same quarter of the
prior year.  This decline reflects both delays and reduction in military
procurement and reductions within the total aerospace industry.

The backlog of orders at July 1, 1994 and June 25, 1993 was $96,709,000 and
$88,411,000, respectively.  The current backlog includes $5,292,000 as a result
of the acquisitions of Powertec Industrial Corporation and Automation
Intelligence, Inc. during the third quarter of fiscal 1993.

The Company's inertia reels, used as personnel restraints on military aircraft,
which were temporarily suspended in 1991, have not yet been requalified by the
U.S. Air Force and relisted on the "Qualified Product List" (QPL).  However,
certain military agencies are again purchasing the Company's inertia reels by
waiving the QPL requirement.  Although the Company continues to believe, after
more than thirty years experience, that its inertia reels are designed and
manufactured to meet all known requirements, it is not possible to project when
the U.S.  Air Force will approve our products for the QPL.

SIX MONTHS COMPARISON (FIRST HALF 1994 VS. FIRST HALF 1993)

Net sales were $108,773,000 in the first half of 1994, a 19%or $17,467,000
increase in sales over the same period in the prior year.  First half sales in
the Electrical Equipment segment were up 29% or $17,143,000.  The acquisitions
of Powertec Industrial Corporation and Automation Intelligence, Inc. in the
third quarter of 1993 and Royce Thompson Electric Ltd. in the second quarter of
1994 accounted for $12,125,000 of the increase in sales.  The sales from the
Safety Equipment segment increased by 1% or $324,000.  The acquisition of the
Unidynamics product line in April, 1993 accounted for $2,512,000 of this
increase in sales.

Gross margin on sales increased 1.6% in the first half from the prior year
reflecting control of costs and expenses.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses remained the same as a percent of sales in 1994 as in 1993.

Research and development expenses increased 13% reflecting continued emphasis
on new product development.

Income before cumulative accounting change and taxes increased 37% primarily
due to a 19% increase in sales and improvement in gross margin and control of
operating expenses.  Acquisitions made in 1993 and 1994 accounted for $554,000
or 32% of the increase in pre-tax income.

Net income of $0.70 per share in 1994 compares to $0.71 per share in the first
half of 1993 including the cumulative effect of a required accounting change
which accounted for $0.20 per share in the first quarter of 1993.

Orders for Electrical Equipment totaled $82,017,000, up 41% as compared to the
same period in the prior year.  Orders for Safety Equipment during the first
half totaled $31,692,000, up 9% as compared to the same period of the prior
year.



FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY


Debt less cash, restricted cash, and short-term investments was $41,380,000 at
the end of the first six months in 1994 as compared to the $26,417,000 in the
prior year quarter.  This increase of $14,963,000 resulted principally from the
acquisition of certain businesses in 1993 and 1994 for a total cash outlay of
$24,977,000.

Operations provided cash of $3,410,000 in the first six months of 1994 as
compared to providing cash of $1,040,000 in the same period of the prior year.

This increase in cash flow from operations is primarily due to:

The Company believes that internally generated funds will provide sufficient
capital resources to finance operations, fund planned capital expenditures, pay
interest and dividends on outstanding debt and common stock, and reduce
outstanding debt.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1    Legal Proceedings

          The Company is a co-defendant in an action originally filed July 22,
          1993 by Accuflex Inc., a Texas company established to purchase a
          product line of commercial mechanical seals originally developed by
          the Company's Belfab Division.  In March 1990, the plaintiff
          purchased the Accuflex trade name, unsold inventory, used equipment,
          supporting materials and manufacturing training, all for a purchase
          price of $200,000.  The Company also agreed not to compete with
          Accuflex for a five (5) year period.  In September 1991, the Company
          sold the remaining assets of its Belfab Division to John Crane
          Inc.(Crane).  Crane was a pre-existing and long established
          competitor  of Accuflex and is named as the co-defendant.

          The complaint alleges common law fraud and conspiracy, breach of
          fiduciary duty, breach of confidential relationship, breach of
          contract, breach of implied warranty and implied duty to perform
          contract in good faith, deceptive trade practices, negligence and
          gross negligence, tortious interference with contract,
          misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential business
          information and conversion of assets.

          The complaint contains no allegation concerning the specific amount
          of damages allegedly suffered by Accuflex.  However, on June 27,
          1994, the plaintiff stated that its damages were, under the various
          legal theories asserted in the complaint, in the range of $7 million
          plus punitive damages of three (3) times actual damages.  On July 12,
          1994, the plaintiff revised the claim for punitive damages and
          advised the Company of its intention to ask for an amount equal to
          ten (10) times the actual damages.

          The Company's 1991 agreement with Crane provides that the Company
          will indemnify Crane for any claims including costs, expenses and
          reasonable attorney's fees arising from a breach of the covenant
