Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six
month period ended April 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's annual report to shareholders for the year ended
October 31, 1994.

Note B - Net Income per Share

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding of 3,313,480 and 3,595,003 for the
three months ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 3,366,268 and

                       ENGINEERED SUPPORT SYSTEMS, INC.
                     Management's Discussion and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues increased 57% in the second quarter of 1995 to $17.7 million from
$11.2 million in the second quarter of 1994, and increased 46% to $33.0
million in the first six months of 1995 from $22.7 million in the first
half of 1994.  The increase in revenues was generated primarily by the
Company's defense subsidiary, Engineered Air Systems, Inc. (Engineered
Air).  After several years of significant first article testing and
development, Engineered Air is now in full production on several major
contracts, primarily its MA-3D and C-5 flight line air conditioners.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 1995 increased $1.1 million, or 60%,
over the amount for the comparable 1994 period primarily reflecting an
increase in production volume at Engineered Air.  The gross margin for the
second quarter of 1995 was 16.2% as compared to 15.9% for the second
quarter of 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $1.49 million and $1.38
million in the second quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Although
this represents an overall increase of 8%, selling, general and
administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues decreased from 12.3%
in the second quarter of 1994 to 8.4% in the second quarter of 1995. This
decrease reflects management's continuing efforts to limit the growth of
overhead expenses in spite of significantly higher levels of production
volume.
Net interest expense increased $38,000, or 19%, in the second quarter of
1995 as compared with the second quarter of 1994.  This was primarily the
result of increased borrowing levels due to significant capital
expenditures by ESP in 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 30, 1995, the Company's working capital and ratio of current
assets to current liabilities were $3.2 million and 1.26 to 1 as compared
to $3.1 million and 1.24 to 1 at October 31, 1994.  In spite of $1.0
million of net income for the first half of 1995, the Company's current
position reflects only a slight improvement from October 31, 1994 primarily
due to the $1.0 million purchase of 259,716 shares of treasury stock during
the second quarter of 1995.  As of April 30, 1995, the Company had $1.9
million of unused credit related to its loan agreement.

Business and Market Considerations

As of April 30, 1995, Engineered Air's funded backlog of defense orders was
$82 million compared to $63 million a year ago.  Options to existing
contracts total approximately $121 million as of the end of the second
quarter.
Historically, the Company has been heavily dependent on the U.S. Government
for business.  However, because of declining defense budgets and increased
competition within the current defense market, the Company began a plan of
diversification in 1993 with the acquisition of ESP.  This acquisition
provided expansion into the commercial marketplace.  Management intends to
continue to pursue new acquisitions and business opportunities to
complement existing product lines and provide strategic diversification.
