                           VECTRA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions for 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 considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for
the three months ended April 2, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year.  The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's fiscal 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period plus the dilutive effect of stock
options and warrants.  Net income (loss) per share on a fully diluted basis was
the same as the primary income per share.

3. NOTE PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

In March, 1995, the banks required the Company to reprice the common stock
warrants issued in connection with the bank debt at $2.9375 per share.  In
addition, if the Company fails to raise $10 million cash by June 30, 1995, the
warrant price will be further reduced to $.01 per share.  The effect of such
repricing would be that, upon exercise of these warrants by the banks, the
equity and voting power of existing shareholders would be diluted by up to 11%
at the $.01 per share purchase price.  Based on the new price, the warrant
related discount increased by $191,000 which will be recognized as interest
expense over the term of the loan.

4. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is self-insured for general liability risk for $1 million per
occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.  As of April 2, 1995, the Company
has accrued approximately $550,000 for unreported and/or potential losses.
Coverage above the self-insured limits is provided for under an umbrella
policy with a commercial insurance company.

The radioactive materials handled by the Company are the legal responsibility
of the Company's utility customers.  The Company does not take title to such
materials.  In the event of an accident or incident involving such material,
the Company is covered under insurance carried by and provided to operators of
nuclear plants or transporters of nuclear materials.

5. RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 financial statements to
conform to the current year presentation.

                                                                            5

ITEM 1.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
         RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS

ACQUISITION

On January 6, 1994 the Company's shareholders approved the purchase of all of
the stock of ABB Impell Corporation, ABB Government Services Inc. and ABB
Impell Ltd. (the "Impell Companies") from affiliates of ABB Asea Brown Boveri
Ltd. of Zurich,  Switzerland (the "Seller").  The acquisition, effective as of
midnight December 31, 1993, was completed on January 7, 1994 and was accounted
for as a purchase in 1994.  The Company also changed its name from Pacific
Nuclear Systems, Inc. to VECTRA  Technologies, Inc. ("VECTRA" or "the
Company").  The purchase price of $31.9 million together with the direct costs
of the acquisition were allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. The seller received $14 million in common stock
(1,714,503 shares) and the remainder of the purchase price in cash.  The
purchase price of $31.9 million reflects a reduction of $480,000 for ABB
Impell Corporation and ABB Government Services, Inc. that was paid in cash by
the Seller in April, 1995 pursuant to an arbitration proceeding.  The final
purchase price for ABB Impell Ltd. is subject to an immaterial adjustment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

Revenues increased by 4% to $38.7 million for the three months ended April 2,
1995 from $37.1 million during the comparable period in 1994.  The increase in
revenues is primarily due to the successful completion of an important phase of
a full system decontamination contract and increased services for
transportation and storage facilities for high level nuclear waste. This
increase in revenue was offset by decreases in domestic commercial nuclear
engineering services and decreases in activities relating to low level nuclear
waste processing due to the completion of a large contract with a client in
Korea during 1994.

Most of the Company's contracts are awarded by a competitive bidding process in
which a number of firms submit proposals in response to a request for
proposals to provide specific products or services.  The Company operates in a
very competitive industry and, consequently, management is unable to comment
on the outlook for future contracts.  The Company's ongoing marketing
activities include identifying prospective bid requests and requests for
proposals.  In its target market areas, the Company aggressively pursues such
requests.

The Company was informed in April, 1995 that the DOE has awarded a single
contract to design a Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) for the storage and
transportation of spent nuclear fuel to a competing team.  The Company has
protested this award and is currently assessing the short term and long term
impact of the loss of this award.  The Company continues to aggressively pursue
all opportunities in both the commercial and government spent fuel storage
markets for its NUHOMS-Registration Trademark- spent fuel dry storage system.

GROSS PROFITS

Each of the Company's contracts is negotiated independently and varies as to
profitability. The timing and actual performance by the Company on its major
contracts also affect the Company's gross profit margin.

Gross profit decreased by 11% or $1.2 million for the first three months of
1995 compared to the first three months of 1994.  Gross profit as a percent of
revenues decreased to 29% from 34% for the first quarter of 1995 compared to
1994.  Gross profit was affected by both reduced revenues and lower margins in
domestic commercial engineering services.  Reduced revenues in engineering
services are a reflection of the lower demand for outside engineering services
by domestic nuclear utilities.  Gross margins in engineering

                                                                            6

<PAGE>

services have been impacted by competitive pressures in pricing.  Gross margins
have also been impacted by the increased services for transportation and
storage facilities for high level nuclear waste which are typically lower
margin contracts.  The decrease was partially offset by increased gross profit
and higher margins for decontamination services.

EXPENSES

Research and development expenses decreased for the three month period ending
April 2, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  The majority of the 1994
expense was related to development of the Company's vitrification process
Enviroglass-Registered Trademark-, which features thermal treatment and volume
reduction of low level radioactive waste into an environmentally stable glass
form.  In 1994 the Company has moved from R & D activity to the fabrication of
vitrification equipment to support client contracts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues,
decreased to 26% for the first three months of 1995 from  31% in the first
three months of 1994.  Actual selling, general, and administrative expenses
decreased $1.5 million during the first quarter of 1995 compared with the
first quarter of the prior year.  The decrease in primarily attributable to
lower levels of overhead expense in the engineering services business
resulting from the reductions in staff during 1994.

Net interest expense in the first quarter of 1995 increased compared to the
first quarter of 1994 due to higher interest rates.  Interest expense includes
interest on the term loan and the revolving credit facility as well as
amortization of bank fees and warrant-related debt discount.

The effective income tax rate is lower than the statutory tax rate for the
three months ended April 2, 1995 due to the use of net operating loss
carryforwards.  The effective income tax rate is higher than the statutory tax
rate for the three months ended April 3, 1994 due to provisions for state
income taxes.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net income increased to $163,000 in the first three months of 1995 from a net
loss of $60,000 in the first three months of 1994.  The increase in income is
due primarily to increased decontamination services, good performance in
services for transportation and storage facilities for high level nuclear
waste, and lower levels of overhead expense in the engineering services
business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million in the three months
ended April 2, 1995 compared to net cash used by operations of $.7 million in
the three months ended April 3, 1994.  Cash provided by operating activities in
the first quarter of 1995 increased compared to the first quarter of 1994
mainly due to increases in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities
offset by increases in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts.

Accounts receivable and billings balances differ from period to period as a
result of varying contractual terms that relate to the timing and amount of
progress payments for some of the Company's multi-year, multi-million dollar
contracts.  This variability is expected to continue in future periods.

Capital expenditures were $2.3 million in the first three months of 1995
compared to $.9 in the first three months of 1994.  The Company's agreement
with its banks allows a maximum of $5.8 million in capital expenditures during
1995.  The majority of the Company's capital expenditures are for processing
equipment for radioactive waste volume reduction, dewatering, and vitrification
systems in waste services and decontamination equipment in plant services.
Fuel services has capital requirements primarily for licenses and high level
waste transportation equipment.  Engineering services has modest capital


                                                                            7

<PAGE>

requirements mainly for computer equipment.  The Company anticipates that it
will need to devote significant capital resources to technology development in
the future in order to remain competitive.  The Company had contractual
commitments of $2.9 million as of quarter end for capital acquisitions to be
made during the remainder of 1995.  Depending on the capital resources
available to the Company, it may make additional capital expenditures during
1995.

The Company has financed its operations, development, and growth from the sale
of stock and from bank debt, currently in the form of a revolving credit line
of up to $22.5 million secured by receivables and a long term loan.  The term
loan matures in January, 1999 and the revolving credit facility matures in
January, 1996.  The interest rate for both loans is the bank's base rate plus
1.0% to 1.5% or the Eurodollar rate plus from 2.0% to 2.5%.  The Company also
issued warrants to the banks in conjunction with the debt to purchase 830,060
shares of common stock at $8.17 per share which are exercisable through January
1999.  In March, 1995, the banks required the Company to reprice the common
stock warrants issued in connection with the bank debt at $2.9375 per share.
In addition, if the Company fails to raise $10 million cash by June 30, 1995,
the warrant price will be further reduced to $.01 per share.  The effect of such
repricing would be that, upon exercise of these warrants by the banks, the
equity and voting power of existing shareholders would be diluted by up to 11%
at the $.01 per share purchase price.  The Company has evaluated the warrant
related discount based on the new price and has adjusted the value accordingly.

The agreements with the banks specify certain negative, affirmative and
financial covenants, including without limitation, covenants with respect to
leverage, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and minimum net worth, and
restrictions on dividends and activities of the Company. The Company
renegotiated the requirements with the banks in March, 1995 and established new
ratios for the quarter ended April 2, 1995 with which it complied.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are limited by eligible
receivables in the accounts receivable borrowing base.  At the end of the
quarter, the Company had an unused revolving credit facility of $7.3 million of
which $.8 million was available based on the accounts receivable borrowing
base.  The amount of availability is subject to fluctuation.

Lower than projected cash flows and lower borrowing availability under the
revolving credit facility have restricted the Company's ability to fund
expenditures and develop its technology.  Operations in 1995 are not likely to
generate sufficient cash to continue operations and concurrently invest in
necessary expenditures for technology development including certain amounts
which are contractually committed.  As previously disclosed, the Company
recognizes its need for additional cash.  Management is pursuing plans to raise
cash through a sale of certain operating assets.  Prior to consummation of such
sale, however, the Company may encounter a cash shortfall due to the reasons
described above and variations in timing of receipts of cash from operations,
resulting in insufficient cash to cover obligations.  If the company reaches an
agreement to sell the assets, the Company plans to negotiate for additional
borrowing until the closing of such sale.  If the cash raising activities do not
materialize or are delayed, the Company will encounter a cash shortfall around
mid-year unless planned capital expenditures and other operating costs can be
reduced significantly.  The Company is currently developing plans for such
circumstances.  Management believes that, if the sale of the assets occurs, cash
provided by such sale, together with cash generated from operations, will
provide sufficient funds to enable to Company to continue operations through
December 31, 1995 and beyond.

                                                                            8

Bank (as defined below) and as the Agent (as defined below), and BANQUE
NATIONALE DE PARIS, as a Bank and as the Managing Agent (as defined below).

RECITALS

     The Borrower has entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of
January 6, 1994, as amended by the First Amendment and Waiver to Term Loan
Agreement dated as of March 29, 1994 and the Amendment and Limited Waiver dated
as of August __, 1994 (as so amended and as the same and may from time to time
be further amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the "TERM AGREEMENT"),
among the Borrower, the Banks party thereto, Banque Paribas, acting in its
separate capacity as agent for the Banks (the "AGENT"), and Banque Nationale de
Paris, acting in its separate capacity as Managing Agent (as defined therein)
(the "MANAGING AGENT").

     The parties to the Term Agreement desire to further amend the Term
Agreement on and in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and
in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth below.

                                  AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     DEFINITIONS.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment
shall have the meanings given to them in the Term Agreement.

     AMENDMENTS TO TERM AGREEMENT.

          A new definition of "Net Issuance Proceeds" is added to Section 1.1
     of the Term Agreement to read as follows:

          "Net Issuance Proceeds" means, in respect of any issuance of debt or
     equity, cash proceeds and non-cash proceeds received or receivable in
     connection  therewith, net of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
     paid or incurred in connection therewith in favor of any Person not an
     Affiliate of the Borrower, except as are paid or payable to any such
     Affiliate upon fair and reasonable terms that are duly approved by the
     disinterested members of the Borrower's board of directors, fully
     disclosed to the Agent and no less favorable to the Borrower than would
     obtain in a comparable arm's length transaction with a Person not an
     Affiliate of the Borrower, such costs and expenses to be consistent with
     standard investment bank practices for similar issuances.


                                                                          11

<PAGE>
          A new Section 2.18 (Mandatory Prepayments) is added to the Term
     Agreement to read as follows:

          2.18  MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.  If the Borrower shall issue, raise or
     receive any new equity and debt, the Borrower shall promptly notify the
     Agent of the estimated Net Issuance Proceeds of such equity issuance or
     contribution.  The Borrower shall then prepay principal amounts
     outstanding under the Loans in an amount equal to the Net Issuance
     Proceeds of such equity issuance or contribution, which amounts shall be
     prepaid within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof by the Borrower
     and applied in inverse order to the scheduled installments for repayment
     of the Loans.

          A new subsection (r) (Monthly Reports) is added to Section 5.1
     (Information Covenants) of the Term Agreement to read as follows:

          (r)   MONTHLY REPORTS.  As soon as practicable and in any event
     within 15  (as to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), below) or 30 (as to clauses
     (iv) and (v), below) days, as applicable, after the end of each month, a
     monthly Borrower-prepared report, including (i) as to the current backlog
     under contracts with customers of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of
     the last day of the immediately preceding month, (ii) a list of bids for
     new customer contracts won, lost and currently outstanding made by the
     Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the immediately preceding month,
     (iii) a list of material contracts anticipated to be bid on by the
     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries within the next 6 months, including a

     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (v) a comparison of the actual
     accounts receivables and available borrowing bases under working capital
     lines of credit as of the last day of the immediately preceding month
     against the accounts receivables and available borrowing bases under
     working capital lines of credit projected for such date in the monthly
     report delivered with respect to the prior month, in each case of the
     Borrower and its Subsidiaries, with an explanation for any material
     variance.

          2.3 A new subsection (s) (Weekly Reports) is added to Section 5.1
     (Information Covenants) of the Term Agreement to read as follows:

          (s)   WEEKLY REPORTS.  As soon as practicable and in any event by
     Wednesday of each week, a weekly Borrower-prepared report, including (i) a

     Receivables Facility, for the current and next succeeding week.

          Subsection (a) (Leverage Ratio) of Section 6.1 (Financial Covenants)
     of the Term Agreement is amended (i) to delete the entire  proviso
     following the words "opposite such period," in line 8 of Subsection (a),
     (ii) to add in place of such proviso the following new proviso:

                                                                          12

          PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that calculations of the Leverage Ratio shall
          specifically  exclude the effect of any one time charges, write-offs
          or adjustments relating to severance and restructuring costs incurred
          during the Borrower's fiscal year ended January 2, 1995 up to an
          aggregate amount not to exceed $3,427,000:

     and (iii) to amend and restate the table appearing at the end of
     Subsection (a) to read as follows:
