                          Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1996

1.   Basis of Presentation:

         The accompanying  unaudited 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 Article 10 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. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included.  Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996,
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended  December  31,  1996.  For  further  information,  refer to the  financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.   Per Share Data

         Per share  information  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996, is
computed based on the net loss after  deducting  Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock  dividends in 1996.  The  weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding
consists solely of common stock.  The effect of common stock  equivalents  which
would arise from the exercise of common  stock  options  outstanding  (using the
treasury  stock  method) and the  conversion  of Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock have not been included for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996, as their
effect is  anti-dilutive.  The weighted average number of shares  outstanding at
September 30, 1996 was 15,402,445.

         Per share  information  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1995, is
computed based on the net loss after  deducting  Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock  dividends in 1995.  The  weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding
consists solely of common stock.  The effect of common stock  equivalents  which
would arise from the exercise of common  stock  options  outstanding  (using the
treasury  stock  method) and the  conversion  of Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock have not been included for the quarter ended  September 30, 1995, as their
effect is  anti-dilutive.  The weighted average number of shares  outstanding at
September 30, 1995 was 10,350,343

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations


         This Report contains  forward-looking  statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act
of 1934. The forward-looking  statements contained herein are subject to certain
risks and  uncertainties,  including those discussed herein and in the Company's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December 31,  1995,  that
could  cause  actual  results  to differ  materially  from  those  projected  or
discussed.  Investors  are  cautioned  not to  place  undue  reliance  on  these
forward-looking  statements,  which reflect management's analysis only as of the
date  hereof.  The Company  undertakes  no  obligation  to publicly  release the
results of any revision to these forward-looking  statements that may be made to
reflect  events  or  circumstances  after  the date  hereof  or to  reflect  the
occurrence  of  unanticipated  events.  The  Company has  attempted  to identify
forward-looking statements contained in this report with an asterisk (*).

Results of Operations:

         Revenue for the third quarter and nine months ended  September 30, 1996
was $294,000 and $652,000, respectively, compared to $168,000 and $1,015,000 for
the same  periods  ended  September  30,  1995,  an increase of $126,000 for the
quarterly period and a decrease of $363,000 for the nine month period.  Revenues
from the Company's Phase I development for LandRay  Technologies,  Inc. accounts
for all of the  quarterly  increase  over the  same  quarter  in  1995.  Lack of
revenues to offset the $485,000  contribution  from Company's  contract with the
Air Force (the "Air Force Contract"), which was completed in May 1995 caused the
decrease in the nine month period.

         The 1996 second  quarter net loss was $948,000,  compared to a net loss
of $709,000  recorded in the 1996 second  quarter.  A net loss of $2,845,000 was
recorded for the first nine months of 1996  compared to a net loss of $1,847,000
for the same  period  in 1995.  The  increased  losses  were  due  primarily  to
decreased  revenues,  increased  research  and  development  expenditures,   and
unabsorbed overhead costs.

         The cost of revenues  increased by $171,000  for the second  quarter of
1996 and  increased  by $247,000 for the first nine months of 1996 over the same
periods  of 1995 due to  increased  salaries  and  materials  mostly  target  at
improved  process  reliability in  anticipation  of the Company's  transition to
manufacture of commercial  products and services.  Additionally,  overhead costs
could not be decreased in proportion with decreased revenues without the loss of
essential  skills,  expertise,  and  capabilities  as the Company  continues its
transition from research and  development of laboratory  hardware to application
specific design and testing.

         Sales and  marketing  expense  decreased by $72,000 and $62,000 for the
third  quarter and first nine months ended  September  30,  1996,  respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1995,  due primarily to the  Company's  shift in
emphasis to commercial  products and services from government contract services.
This shift in market  strategy  resulted in increased  research and  development
costs. Research and development expense increased $254,000 for the third quarter
and increased by $411,000 for the first nine month period of 1996, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1995 as  consultants  and outside  services were
increasingly   used   to   provide   essential   services   and   expertise   in
Company-sponsored  research and development  effort,  particularly the Company's
electro-optical   sensors  line  which  was   introduced   at  Sensors  Expo  in
Philadelphia  in October  1996.  General  and  administrative  expenses  in 1996
increased by $50,000 and  $131,000 for the third  quarter and first nine months,
respectively,   due  to  shifting  of  certain   personnel   from  marketing  to
administration and certain severance costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

         During  the  first  nine  months  of 1996,  cash  and cash  equivalents
decreased $159,000 due to the net loss from operations, which was largely offset
by the private  placement of the  Company's  common stock  completed in the 1996
first  quarter.  Accounts  receivable  and  unbilled  receivables  decreased  by
$284,000 and $40,000  respectively  reflecting the reduced level of revenues and
the fact that most revenues in the third quarter were prepaid which  accounts in
part  for the  $379,000  increase  in  deferred  contract  revenue.  Inventories
increased 21% or $26,000 from December 31, 1995, in preparation  for anticipated
increased production for certain customers.

         Backlog at September  30, 1996 was $381,670  compared to $910,000.  The
LandRay  Technologies'  development contract accounted for 67% of the backlog on
September  30,  1996,  whereas the Air Force  contract,  completed in the second
quarter  1996,  accounted  for 84% of the  September  30, 1995 amount.  However,
because orders may be canceled by customers with little or no penalty or notice,
backlog may not be a reliable indicator of the Company's future sales.  Although
the Company  successfully  raised additional  operating capital during the first
quarter of 1996,  the  Company  continues  to seek and obtain  other  sources of
revenue to sustain operations.

         The Company's  current cash position,  together with  anticipated  cash
flows from operations are expected by management to be sufficient to finance the
Company's operations through December 31, 1996*.  However, if the Company is not
successful in replacing  revenue and cash  generated by the Air Force  contract,
the Company,  as  presently  sized,  would  continue to  experience  significant
operating  losses,  significant  negative  cash flow,  and would be  required to
significantly reduce its operations.

         The Company's  growth  strategy  includes the successful  completion of
products under development,  development of new applications, and development of
marketing strategies.

         The Company must  continue to seek and obtain other  sources of revenue
to continue  operations.  The initail  funding of the Company's  announced joint
venture with EAC Helicopters, Inc., PEAC Airborne Technologies, Ltd. (PEAC) (see
Power Spectra's June 30, 1996 Form 10-Q), 

                                       8

has not been consummated to date. In additon,  the Phase I development effort of
the Company with LandRay Technologies,  Inc. (LTI) (see Power Spectra's June 30,
1996 Form 10-Q) will be completed in the fourth quarter of 1996*, and additional
funding must be obtained in order for the joint venture to continue development.

         There can be no  assurances  that the PEAC joint  venture  will  obtain
initial  funding,  that the PEAC and LTI  joint  ventures  will be able to raise
adequate  funding on  acceptable  terms,  that PSI will be able to  successfully
enter into any additional suitable  partnership,  or joint venture arrangements,
or that such arrangements when entered into would prove to be beneficial for the
Company and its shareholders. There can also be no assurances that such proposed
joint venture agreements, if consummated,  would generate sufficient revenues to
replace the revenues previously generated by the Air Force contract.
