PACIFIC SCIENTIFIC COMPANY
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)   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.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 1996 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1995

Net sales were $74,694,000 in the first quarter of 1996, an 8% or
$5,735,000 increase in sales over the same period in the prior
year.  First quarter sales in the Electrical Equipment segment were
$55,778,000, a 5% or $2,708,000 increase over the same period of
the prior year.  The sales from the Safety Equipment segment were
$18,916,000, a 19% or $3,027,000 increase compared to the same
period of the prior year.

Gross margin on sales increased $1,603,000 to 31.9% of sales in the
first quarter of 1996 from 32.2% in the prior year, reflecting
negative gross margins at the Solium start-up.  Without Solium, the
gross margin would have been 32.6% of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 21% of sales in
the first quarter of 1996, compared to 20% of sales in the prior
year.

Research and development expenses increased $708,000 or 21% in the
first quarter of 1996 over the same period in the prior year.  R&D
expenses are now equal to 5.4% of sales reflecting continued
emphasis on new product development.

Interest and Other (Net) increased $660,000 in the current quarter
compared to the first quarter of 1995, due primarily to higher
borrowings resulting from acquisitions and the funding of the
start-up and capital requirements of the Solium subsidiary.  The
average rate of interest paid on the bank debt during the first
quarter of 1996 was 6.11%.

Income before taxes decreased 34% primarily due to losses at the
Solium operation and below prior year performance at the High Yield
Technology Division (HYT) as compared to the prior year same
period.

The estimated annual effective tax rate for 1996 is 38% as compared
to the prior year's effective rate of 36.5%.

Net income per share for the first quarter of 1996 was 15 cents as
compared to 24 cents in the prior year.  The start-up of the Solium
operation contributed a loss of 10 cents per share in the first
quarter of 1996 as compared to first quarter of 1995.  The net
income from HYT was 5 cents per share, lower than the prior year
same period.  The reduced year-to-year earnings at HYT were due to
delays in product development programs as resources were devoted to
completing and enhancing the reliability and ease of use of
products already in the field.

Total orders received in the first quarter of 1996 were
$79,091,000, up 12% from the prior year, and the backlog at the end
of the quarter was $102,663,000.  Orders for the Electrical
Equipment segment during the first quarter totaled $63,350,000, up
13%, while orders for the Safety Equipment segment totaled
$15,741,000, up 6% as compared to the same quarter of the prior
year.
As reported in previous years, the Company learned in 1991 that it
did not comply with all U.S. military testing and certification
requirements for certain of its inertia reels used in military
aircraft since the 1950s.  This occurred because the Company had
believed that it was supplying a completely proprietary product
and, therefore, was not subject to such certification requirements. 
As a result, the delivery of certain inertia reels to the U.S. Air
Force has been suspended since mid-1991.  Similar products,
however, are being purchased by the U.S. Navy under a procurement
waiver.  The suspension of inertia reel deliveries has reduced
sales by $0.5 million to $1.0 million per year over the past four
years.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (Continued)

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

Debt less cash, restricted cash, and short-term investments was
$53,097,000 at the end of the first three months in 1996 as
compared to $39,234,000 in the same period of the prior year.  The
main reason for the increased debt is the cash required for fixed
assets, working capital and operational losses at Solium.

Net cash flow used in operating activities of $3,141,000 in the
first three months of 1996 as compared to providing cash of
$7,506,000 in the same period of the prior year.  The cash used in
operations in the first quarter of 1996 includes $2,198,000
previously accrued in 1995 as a final payment for the acquisition
of Eduard Bautz GmbH.  The favorable cash from operations in 1995
included the recording of an expected $5.5 million tax refund which
is expected to be received in the second quarter of 1996.  The
expected tax refund is currently classified as a credit to other
current liabilities.

The Company's working capital was $71,818,000 on March 29, 1996 for
a current ratio of 2.5:1.  On March 31, 1995 working capital was
$61,675,000.

As of March 29, 1996, the Company had approximately $16,885,000 of
outstanding foreign exchange contracts in which foreign currencies
could be sold.  These contracts serve to hedge foreign currency
exposures.

At the end of the first quarter of 1996, the Company had unused
lines of credit of $7.3 million.

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

DIVESTITURE DISCUSSIONS

Divestiture of the Company's drinking water quality monitoring
assets was a condition for governmental approval of the
Registrant's merger with Met One, Inc. in 1995.  Sales of monitors
for drinking water quality represented less than one-half of one
percent of the Registrant's total sales in 1995.  An agreement to
sell these assets was negotiated and signed subject to governmental
approval which was obtained on April 16, 1996.  The sale of the
assets will not be material to the future financial performance of
the Company.
