NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


Note C - Acquisition


On January 25, 1995 (effective January 1, 1995) the Company acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Maxtech, Inc. (Maxtech) for cash paid at closing of
$4,049,000, four-year unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal sum
of $1,750,000, certain contingent consideration based on future net pre-tax
income of Maxtech, and direct acquisition costs incurred of approximately
$150,000. An additional sum of $1,650,000 was paid at closing to pay-off
certain promissory notes of Maxtech. The Maxtech acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed were recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date.  The excess
of the purchase price over the assets acquired of approximately $5,340,000 is
being amortized over fifteen years using the straight line method.

In connection with the purchase of Maxtech, contingent consideration will be
due in an amount equal to 50 percent of the net pre-tax income above
$1,750,000 that Maxtech earns for the cumulative period of three years and
nine months ending September 30, 1998, not to exceed $2,250,000. The contingent
consideration, if any, will be recorded when determinable as additional
goodwill and amortized over the remaining life of the intangible asset as
discussed above.

Maxtech's results of operations have been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition.

Below are the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if Maxtech had
been acquired on October 1, 1993.

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

Results of Operations

The Company acquired Maxtech, Inc. (Maxtech) of State College, Pennsylvania, at
the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 1995 for a purchase price of
approximately $6 million, (excludes any contingent consideration). Maxtech is
engaged in the design, manufacture, and distribution of precision radio
frequency and microwave telecommunications components and subsystems, with
particular emphasis on earth station satellite and point-to-point radio
applications.  (Refer to Note C for additional information).

Net sales increased by 28.5 percent and 15.9 percent in the third quarter and
nine months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, when compared to the same
periods one year earlier.  The increased sales volume is attributable to the
acquisition of Maxtech and increased foreign product shipments.

Research and development spending decreased by 16.2 percent and 19.5 percent in
the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 1995 over the comparable
periods of fiscal 1994, respectively.  This was primarily due to absence of
certain product development projects which were successfully completed last
year. Marketing expenses combined with general and administrative expenses
increased 45.0 percent and 34.3 percent in three-month period and nine-month
period ended June 30, 1995 over the comparable periods, respectively, due to
stepped-up bid proposal activity and the inclusion of Maxtech at the beginning
of January 1995.

Financial Condition as of June 30, 1995

Cash provided by operations of $2.5 million was more than offset by the
acquisition of Maxtech and purchase of Vertex's common stock pursuant to the
Company's stock repurchase plan.  Inventories increased by $6 million (67.2
percent) since September 30, 1994 as a result of the Maxtech acquisition and
delayed product shipments at the customers' direction. The Company also
invested $1.7 millon in property and equipment additions. As a result of the
foregoing significant factors, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $7.7
million during the nine-month period ended June 30, 1995.

Management believes that expected cash flows from operations and current
cash balances will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations and planned
capital investments for the foreseeable future. Management does not have in
place a credit line facility because of the Company's strong financial
condition and forecasted growth. Management is not aware of any demands which
are likely to impact liquidity in an adverse manner.
