                  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 April 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 of 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)        RECLASSIFICATIONS

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



5)        SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

          The Company acquired the business and assets of Birmingham, UK based
          Royce Thompson Electric Limited, the leading UK supplier of outdoor
          lighting controls for street lighting, on April 29, 1994 for
          approximately $1.5 million in cash.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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


Net sales were $51,585,000 in the first quarter of 1994, a 25% or $10,206,000
increase in sales over the same period in the prior year.  First quarter sales
in the Electrical Equipment segment were up 29% or $8,449,000.  The
acquisitions of Powertec and Automated Intelligence in the third quarter of
1993 accounted for $5,235,000 of the increase in sales of Electrical Equipment.
The sales from the Safety Equipment segment increased by 14% or $1,757,000.
The acquisition of Unidynamics/Phoenix, Inc. in April, 1993 accounted for
$2,512,000 of the increase in sales of Safety Equipment.

Gross margin on sales increased 1% in the current quarter from the prior year
reflecting control of costs and expenses.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses declined from 21% of sales in 1993 to 20% in 1994 reflecting the
economics of scale associated with the higher sales base.  Research and
development expenses increased in total, but declined slightly as a percent of
sales.  The decline in these expenses was based on a decreasing requirement to
develop safety equipment for aircraft applications.

Income before taxes increased 44% primarily due to a 25% increase in sales and
control of operating expenses.  Acquisitions made in 1993 accounted for
$309,000 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 first 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 quarter 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 $0.30 per share in 1994 compares to $0.21 per share before an
accounting change in the first quarter of 1993 equal to $0.20 per share.

Orders for Safety Equipment during the first quarter totaled $15,386,000 up 59%
as compared to the same quarter of the prior year.  Orders for Electrical
Equipment totaled $38,807,000 up 26% as compared to the same period in the
prior year.

The backlog of orders at April 1, 1994 and March 26, 1993 was $94,832,000 and
$75,966,000, respectively.  The current backlog includes $10,099,000 as a
result of the acquisition of Unidynamics/Phoenix in April 1993 and $3,927,000
as a result of the acquisitions of Powertec and Automated Intelligence 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.

On April 29, 1994, the Company acquired the business and assets of Birmingham,
UK-based Royce Thompson Electric Limited, the leading UK supplier of outdoor
lighting controls (OLCs) for street lights.  The US, the UK and Latin America
are the largest markets for OLCs on individual street lights, with other
markets tending to centralized controls of street lights.  With the Company's
US-based Fisher Pierce Division and Royce Thompson, Pacific Scientific Company
should be a formidable competitive force in two of those three markets.  Royce
Thompson has current sales of approximately $5 million per year.  Had this
acquisition occurred at the beginning of 1993, there would have been no
material impact upon the Company's results of operations on either 1993 or in
the first quarter of 1994.



FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY


Debt less cash, restricted cash, and short-term investments was $37,158,000 at
the end of the first three months in 1994 as compared to the $20,909,000 in the
prior year quarter.  This increase of $16,249,000 resulted principally from the
acquisition of certain businesses in 1993 and by increases in working capital
to support the growth of the Company.

Operations provided cash of $4,248,000 in the first three months of 1994 as
compared to using cash of $1,249,000 in the prior year.


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

The Company's working capital was $52,825,000 on April 1, 1994 for a current
ratio of 2.8:1.  On March 26, 1993 working capital was $45,675,000.

At the end of the first quarter of 1994, the Company had unused lines of credit
of $18,750,000.

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.
