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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         QUARTER ENDED JUNE 28, 1996

Third quarter net sales increased  20 percent over the same quarter last year
as a result of increased product demand.

Research and development expenses were up 18 percent over the third quarter
last year primarily due to new product design efforts in the small aperture
antenna product line.  General & administrative and marketing expenses
increased 11 percent from the comparable quarter reflecting the addition of two
new operating divisions.

Net income of $1.6 million surpassed the record profits achieved in the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 and was 27 percent more than the same quarter one year
earlier.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1996

Net sales increased 22 percent compared to the same nine-month period last year
primarily due to the acquisition of Maxtech and increased product demand.

Research and development spending increased by 41 percent from the comparable
period because of 9 meter antenna development work, start-up of two new
operating divisions, and the inclusion of Maxtech for the full nine-month
period of fiscal 1996.  Marketing and G & A expenses increased by 19 percent
when compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1995 mainly as a result of the
Maxtech acquisition and start-up of the two new operating divisions.

Higher net income of $4.4 million compared to $3.7 million over same period one
year earlier, was caused largely by increased sales volume.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 1996 is lower than the prescribed statutory
rates mainly due to the effect of tax incentives available from export
shipments and certain investment income that is nontaxable.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the nine months ended June 28, 1996, the balance of cash and cash
equivalents decreased by $2 million principally due to investment in equipment
used to expand manufacturing capabilities.

Management believes that forecasted cash flows combined with the Company's
strong financial condition will be sufficient to fund operations and planned
capital investments for the foreseeable future.  The company is not aware of
any demands which are likely to impact liquidity in an adverse manner.
