              PENRIL DATACOMM NETWORKS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       For the three and nine months
                      Ended April 30, 1995 and 1994


1.   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements,
     which should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on
     Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994, apply to
     the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all
     adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
     for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated
     financial position as of April 30, 1995 and the results of
     operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 1995
     and 1994.  The results of operations for such periods,
     however, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for a full fiscal year.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period
     consolidated financial statements to conform to the April 30,
     1995 presentation.

2.   The Company has recorded a benefit for income taxes for the
     nine months ended April 30, 1995 of $528,000. The benefit is
     based on the projected annualized effective tax rate for the
     fiscal year including the effects of state taxes and foreign
     tax liabilities.

3.   As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the
     Company had a working capital facility with a total borrowing
     capacity of $5,500,000 which expired on December 31, 1994.  In
     addition, the Company has several term loans with its
     principal bank.  These loans require payments of $210,000 per
     month plus accrued interest.  In April 1995, the Company
     completed negotiations with its principal bank to extend the
     working capital facility to December 31, 1995 and continue the
     term loan monthly principal payments of $210,000.  The maximum
     amount available under the working capital facility is limited
     to the total of eligible accounts receivable plus eligible
     inventory less outstanding term loans.  The amounts borrowed
     under the new agreement bear interest at the prime rate plus
     2%.

     At April 30, 1995, the Company had borrowed $5,222,000 under
     the working capital facility, including $91,000 for letters of
     credit.

     Long-term debt at April 30, 1995 and July 31, 1994 consisted
     of (in thousands):

                                       ======         ======

     The amended credit facility requires the Company to maintain a
     ratio of adjusted earnings to interest expense of 1.5 to 1 at
     April 30, 1995 and 2.0 to 1 thereafter, a ratio of adjusted
     earning to fixed charges of 1.5 to 1 beginning July 31, 1995
     and a debt to equity ratio of 1.2 to 1.
     As part of the amended credit agreement, Datability, Inc., a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was required to amend
     the subordinated debt agreement.  This amendment reduced the
     principal payment due May 6, 1995 to $75,775, with additional
     principal payments allowed only after the term loans have been
     reduced by $3,000,000.   All other terms remain unchanged.

4.   In February 1995, Henry D. Epstein exercised 80,000 Class B
     warrants which were issued in March 1987.  These warrants were
     issued with a per share exercise price of $2.34, the fair
     market value of the Company's common shares on the date the
     warrants were issued.  Mr. Epstein exercised the warrants by
     remitting 62,400 shares with a fair market value of $3.00 on
     the date of the exercise.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

The Company manufactures products for three distinct business segments:
data communcations, power regulating equipment, and electronic
instrumentation.

                      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first nine months of fiscal 1995, the Company generated
cash of $1,548,000 from operating activities.  Non-cash expenses of
$3,059,000 (including depreciation and amortization of $3,776,000)
plus a reduction in accounts receivable of $2,933,000 and an increase
in accounts payable of approximately $1,048,000 offset an operating
loss of $3,810,000 and an increase in inventory of $982,000.  The
decrease in accounts receivable is the result of normal collection of
earlier sales and lower sales volume.  The increase in accounts
payable is the result of better management of payments to vendors. 

The increase in inventories of $982,000 for the first nine months of
fiscal year 1995 is due to lower than expected sales in April 1995.
The increase is partially offset by a reduction in inventories of
products being phased out.  The Company regularly provides a reserve
for products which are obsolete and no unusual write-offs are expected
as a result of the phase out of older products.

The Company has renegotiated its credit agreement with its principal
bank. As described in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the working capital facility provides a maximum of
$5,500,000 and is scheduled to expire on December 31, 1995.  At April
30, 1995 the Company had borrowed $5,222,000.

The Company is also attempting to sell the power regulating equipment
business which is produced by the Company's Technipower subsidiary.  If the
transactions occur, some portion of the cash generated will be used to
reduce the amount borrowed from its principal bank.  

The ability of the Company to generate adequate cash for operational
and capital needs is dependent on the success of the Company to
increase sales of its data communications products, of which several
have been introduced in fiscal 1995, along with the sale of the
Technipower product lines.

                         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the data communications segment for the third quarter of 
fiscal 1995 were $12,682,000 compared to $15,573,000 in the third quarter 
of 1994, a decrease of $2,891,000 (19%).  Revenues for the first nine
months of fiscal 1995 were $38,861,000 compared to $46,720,000 in fiscal
1994, a decrease of $7,859,000 (17%).  Both the three and nine months of
fiscal 1995 are lower than the prior year's comparable revenues because
customers have been holding orders awaiting the release of the newer V.34
modems and because there were lower than expected shipments of new wide
area networking technology products.  The Company began shipping, in
limited quantities, V.34 modems during the third quarter.

Revenues for the power regulating equipment segment for the third quarter
of fiscal 1995 were $782,000 compared to $1,316,000 in the third quarter of
1994, a decrease of $534,000 (41%).  Revenues for the first nine months of
fiscal 1995 were $2,542,000 compared to $4,369,000 in fiscal 1994, a
decrease of $1,827,000 (42%).  Both three and nine months of fiscal 1995
are lower than prior year's comparable revenues because there were fewer
contracts for UPS installations.

Revenues for the electronic instrumentation segment for the third quarter
of fiscal 1995 was $1,371,000 compared to $1,559,000 in the third quarter 
of 1994, a decrease of $188,000 (12%).  Revenues for the first nine months
of fiscal 1995 were $4,074,000 compared to $4,679,000 in fiscal 1994, a
decrease of $605,000 (12%).  The decrease in both three and nine months of
fiscal 1995 are due to fewer orders for large system installation
integrated systems.

Gross margins in the data communications segment for the nine months of
fiscal 1995 were 46% compared to 51% for the nine months of fiscal 1994.  
The decline in margins was the result of lower production volumes which
generated higher unfavorable manufacturing variances in fiscal 1995
compared to fiscal 1994 and in the fiscal 1995 third quarter, start-up
manufacturing costs on the newer V.34 modems along with lower margins on
products being phased out.   

Gross margins in the UPS segment for the nine months of fiscal 1995 were
12% compared to 21% for the nine months of fiscal 1994.  The decline in
margins was the result of lower production volumes which generated higher
unfavorable manufacturing variances in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994
and in the fiscal 1995 third quarter. 

Gross margins for the electronic instrumentation segment for the nine
months of fiscal 1995 remained unchanged at 44% compared to the nine months
of fiscal 1994.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the Company decreased by
$440,000 to $5,077,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 from $5,517,000
in the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  For the first nine months, selling,
general and administrative expenses were $15,642,000 compared to
$16,572,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1994, or a decrease of
$930,000 (6%).  The decrease was the primarily the result of eliminating
several administrative functions, within the data communications segment,
in the Carlstadt, New Jersey facility during the first quarter of fiscal
1994, and the result of lower commissions expense due to lower sales
volume. These were partially offset by the addition of international sales
personnel within the data communications segment.

Product development and engineering expenses for the third quarter of 1995
were $2,228,000 compared to $2,687,000 for the third quarter of fiscal
1994, or a decrease of $459,000 (17%).  For the first nine months of fiscal
1995, product development and engineering expenses were $6,850,000 compared
to $7,706,000 or a decrease of $856,000 (11%).  During fiscal 1994, the
Company consolidated several engineering tasks within the data
communications segment in Gaithersburg which resulted in overall savings
and reduced total payroll costs by approximately $200,000 per quarter. 
Additional reductions in payroll costs were made during the third quarter
of fiscal 1995.

Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 was $908,000
compared to $636,000 for the same period in fiscal 1994.  The increase
in the prime interest rate from 7.0% in fiscal 1994 to 9.0% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1995 combined with the increase in the rate
charged by the Company's principal bank from prime plus 1/2% to prime
plus 2% has been the reason for the increased interest expense for
both three and nine month periods.

<PAGE>
For the first six months of fiscal 1995, the Company has recorded a
tax benefit of $528,000 as a result of the loss before income taxes of
$2,640,000. The benefit is based on the annualized effective tax rate
projected for the full fiscal year including the effect of state taxes
and foreign taxes.  In the first six months of fiscal 1994, the
Company recorded a tax benefit of $253,000 as a result of a review of
the reserve requirements under SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. 
A review in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 indicates no additional
benefit was available for the three months ending April 30, 1995.

                        PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On December 24, 1994 the Company filed a complaint against Network Systems
Corporation of Minneapolis, Minnesota ("NSC") in the Circuit Court for
Montgomery County, Maryland.  The litigation arises out of a contract in
which the Company agreed to develop certain computer hardware and software
to NSC's specifications.  The Company alleges breach of contract,
fraudulent inducement and defamation and is seeking specific performance,
compensatory damages of $2,000,000 and punitive damages of $5,000,000.  On
March 28, 1995 NSC filed an answer and counterclaim in which NSC alleges
negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and breach of the contract by the
Company.  NSC is seeking recession of the contract, restitution of monies
paid by NSC to the Company, compensatory damages of $5,000,000 and punitive
damages in an unspecified amount.  The Company believes the counterclaim of
NSC is without merit.
