NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated 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 three and nine month periods ended
March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending June 30, 1995.  For further information, refer to
the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1994.

NOTE 2--SHORT TERM BANK BORROWINGS

     The Company has unsecured lines of credit with a bank, which expire June
30, 1995,  whereby it could borrow in the aggregate up to $7,500,000 at interest
rates approximating the prime rate charged by major banks.  At March 31, 1995
the Company had unused lines of credit aggregating  $5,325,000.

NOTE 3--ACCOUNTING CHANGES

     On March 31, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,"
which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to assets to be held and
used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995, with earlier application encouraged.  The Company has not yet
determined the timing of adoption; however, this standard is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and
consolidated financial position.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased 24 percent over
the same period in the prior year.  This increase was primarily the result of
higher sales to the U.S. Army.  The remaining increase was generated from sales
of commercial communication equipment and fiber optics test instruments. Sales
of avionics test instruments and test and measurement products (spectrum
analyzers) remained flat compared to the prior year quarter.
     Gross margin for the current year quarter was 37 percent compared to 38
percent for the previous year quarter.  This decrease was attributed to a lower
margin product mix.
     Total operating expenses as a percent of sales decreased three percent from
the prior year quarter.  Selling expenses decreased two percent as a percent of
sales and engineering expenses decreased one percent as a percent of sales from
the prior year quarter.  Administrative expenses as a percent of sales were
unchanged compared to the prior year quarter.
     The estimated effective income tax rate was 43 percent for the current year
quarter compared to 62 percent in the prior year period.  The decrease in the
effective rate is due to an increase in the estimated annual pre-tax income
relative to the amount of non-deductible goodwill amortization.
     Sales for the first nine months increased 21 percent compared to the same
period of the prior year.  This increase was largely a result of higher sales to
the U.S. Army and higher sales of fiber optics test instruments.  Sales of
avionics test equipment are down slightly compared to the previous year.  Test
and measurement products (spectrum analyzers) remain flat compared to the prior
year.  Gross margins remained unchanged at 37 percent for both periods.
     Operating expenses decreased two percent as a percent of sales  compared to
the previous year.  Selling expenses and engineering expenses decreased one
percent as a percent of sales  for the current year.  Administrative expenses
remained unchanged as a percent of sales at seven percent for the current year.
     For the nine months ended period of fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, the
effective income tax rate was 42 percent and 51 percent, respectively.  The
decrease in the effective rate is due to an increase in the estimated annual
pre-tax income relative to the amount of nondeductible goodwill amortization.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flows provided by operations were $3,805,000 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to $601,000 in the prior year period.  This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in accounts payable and

<PAGE>

inventory.  Working capital increased from $21,498,000 at June 30, 1994 to
$24,814,000 at March 31, 1995.
     The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the repurchase of up
to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  As of March 31, 1995, the
Company has purchased an aggregate of 793,450 shares under the program.
     The Company has available unsecured lines of credit for $5,000,000 and
$2,500,000 which expire on June 30, 1995.  The Company plans to extend this line
of credit for an additional year.  Negotiations have not commenced at March 31,
1995.
     The Company anticipates that available lines of credit and funds generated
from operations will be adequate to meet capital asset expenditures and working
capital needs for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1995.
