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,

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 3,184,918 and 3,594,615 for the
three months ended July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 3,325,425 and
3,584,863 for the nine months ended July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 
Common equivalent shares represent common stock options as computed based
on the treasury stock method.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share
are substantially the same for each of the periods presented.

Note C - Long-Term Debt

In December 1994, the Company retired the outstanding balance of the
Industrial Development Refunding Revenue Bonds with proceeds generated upon
restructuring its existing bank term loan.  As a result, the balance of the
term loan increased from $865,091 at October 31, 1994 to $2,768,088.  The
restructured term loan bears interest at 1.75% above the bank's prime rate
and is payable in 45 monthly installments of $60,402 plus interest which
commenced January 1, 1995.

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

Results of Operations
Revenues decreased 1% in the third quarter of 1995 to $15.5 million from
$15.6 million in the third quarter of 1994, and increased 27% to $48.5
million in the first nine months of 1995 from $38.2 million for the
comparable period in 1994. The Company's defense subsidiary, Engineered Air
Systems, Inc.  (Engineered Air), experienced a 62% increase in revenues for
the first nine months of 1995.  After several years of significant first
article testing and development, Engineered Air has been in full production
on several major contracts, primarily its MA-3D and C-5 flight line air
conditioners.  Revenues for Engineered Specialty Plastics, Inc.  (ESP), the
Company's commercial plastics subsidiary, decreased 13% during the first
nine months of 1995.  Significantly all of this decrease occurred during
the third quarter of 1995 when its primary customer halted ESP's shipments
of television cabinets for approximately six weeks due to excess
inventories. ESP resumed shipments of television cabinets to this customer
late in the third quarter.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1995 increased $0.8 million, or 41%,
over that for the comparable 1994 period primarily reflecting a significant
improvement in margins at Engineered Air.  Engineered Air has realized
significant margin expansion in 1995 as a result of both a very profitable
mix of contracts and of a high level of capacity utilization.  The
consolidated gross margin for the third quarter of 1995 was 17.6% as
compared to 12.3% for the third quarter of 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $1.34 million and $1.41
million in the third quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $4.28
million and $4.33 million for the nine months ended July 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  These slight decreases reflect management's continuing
efforts to limit the growth of overhead expenses while increasing
consolidated revenues.

Interest expense increased $13,000, or 6%, in the third quarter of 1995 as
compared with the third quarter of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 31, 1995, the Company's working capital and ratio of current assets
to current liabilities were $4.0 million and 1.36 to 1 as compared to $3.1
million and 1.24 to 1 at October 31, 1994.  The improvement in working
capital is primarily a result of $1.7 million of net income for the first
nine months of 1995 as offset by a $1.0 million purchase of 259,716 shares
of treasury stock during the second quarter of 1995.  As of July 31, 1995,
the Company had $2.1 million of unused credit related to its loan
agreement.

Business and Market Considerations
As of July 31, 1995, Engineered Air's funded backlog of defense orders was
$88 million compared to $80 million a year ago.  Options to existing
contracts total approximately $124 million as of the end of the third
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 continues
to pursue new acquisitions and business opportunities to complement
existing product lines and provide strategic diversification.
