              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                                DECEMBER 31, 1995

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 six month periods ended
December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending June 30, 1996.  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, 1995.

NOTE 2 -- SHORT TERM BANK BORROWINGS

     The Company has unsecured lines of credit with a bank whereby it could
borrow in the aggregate up to $15,000,000 at interest rates approximating the
prime rate charged by major banks.  At December 31, 1995 the Company had unused
lines of credit aggregating  $7,370,000.

NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITION

     On June 21, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
York Technology, Ltd., a company incorporated in England, and York Technology,
Inc., a New Jersey Corporation, as well as the real estate and building
previously leased by York Technology, Ltd.  The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase.  On an unaudited pro forma basis, sales, net income and net
income per share for the quarter ended December 31,1994 were $22,163,000,
$165,000 and $.03 respectively, and for the six months ended December 31,1994
were $41,627,000, $456,000 and $.09 respectively. This pro forma data presents
the consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on
July 1, 1994, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization
of intangibles, increased interest expense and related income tax expense.  The
pro forma results have been provided for comparative purposes only and do not
purport to indicate the results of operations which would have actually occurred
had the acquisition been in effect on the date indicated, or which may occur in
the future.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 increased $2,287,000 or 11
percent compared to the same period in the prior year.  This increase was
primarily a result of increased sales of commercial communications test
equipment and fiber optics test instruments.  Sales of government communications
test equipment was down $2,326,000 compared to the prior year period.  Sales of
avionics and test and measurement (spectrum analyzers) equipment remained strong
compared to the previous year quarter.

     Gross margin for the current quarter was 37 percent compared to 39 percent
for the previous year quarter.  This decrease is related to the large order of
fiber optics test equipment at much higher margins in the previous year quarter.

     Total operating expenses as a percent of sales decreased five percent from
the prior year quarter.  Selling expenses as percent of sales decreased one
percent from the prior year quarter.  Administrative expenses as a percent of
sales remained flat compared to prior year quarter.  Engineering expenses as a
percent of sales decreased four percent compared to the same period of a year
ago.  This decrease is related to a reduction in development costs at the Fiber
Optics Division and the funding of a large research and development contract in
the RF Division.  This contract is a time and materials contract with sales
during the quarter in excess of $400,000.

     The estimated effective income tax rate was unchanged at 40 percent
compared to the prior year period.

     Sales for the six months ended December 31, 1995 increased $4,948,000 or 13
percent compared to the same period of the prior year.  This increase is
primarily a result of higher sales of fiber optics test equipment.  Sales to the
U.S. Army were down $3,067,000 compared to the year earlier.  Sales of avionics,
test and measurement (spectrum analyzers) and commercial communications test
equipment are all up compared to the prior year.

     Gross margins were 36 percent for the current year compared to 37 percent
for the prior year.  Operating expenses decreased as a percent of sales three
percent compared to the previous year.  Selling and administration expenses as a
percent of sales remained unchanged while engineering expenses as a percent of
sales decreased three percent.  This decrease is related to the time and
materials contract mentioned earlier.

                                        8

<PAGE>

     For the six month ended period of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, the
effective income tax rate was 40 percent and 41 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 used in operations were $589,000 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1995.  This compares to cash flows provided by operations of
$4,829,000 in the prior year period.  This decrease was primarily due to an
increase in accounts receivable of $4,708,000 for the six months ended as
compared to a decrease of $2,626,000 in the prior year period.  The increase in
accounts receivable is due to the higher sales during the end of the quarter.
Funding for the company pension plan of $1,035,000 also contributed to the
decrease.  Working capital increased from $22,948,000 at June 30, 1995 to
$24,876,000 at December 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 December 31, 1995, the
company had purchased  an aggregate of 815,950 shares under the program.

     The Company has available unsecured lines of credit for $15,000,000  which
expire on June 30, 1996.  At December 31, 1995, $7,630,000 was outstanding under
the lines of credit.

     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, 1996.
