                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)
                                  SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                           
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 month period ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 
1997.  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, 1996.

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 September 30, 1996 the Company had 
unused lines of credit aggregating  $12,220,000.

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

     Sales increased 17 percent in the first quarter ended September 30, 1996 
to $23,258,000, up $3,401,000 over the first quarter of the prior year. This 
increase is primarily due to increased sales of commercial communications 
test equipment, avionics test equipment and fiber optics test equipment.   
Test and measurement sales remained flat compared to the prior year period 
while sales of government communications test equipment were down $947,000 
from a year ago.


                                       7

     Gross margins increased to 38 percent for the current year quarter as 
compared to 36 percent in the previous year quarter.  This increase is 
related to a higher mix of avionics test equipment and fiber optics test 
equipment.

     Operating expenses decreased as a percent of sales from 31 percent for the
prior year quarter to 29 percent for the current quarter.  Selling expenses 
decreased one percent as a percent of sales and engineering expenses 
decreased two percent as a percent of sales from the prior year quarter.  
Administrative expenses increased one percent as a percent of sales compared 
to the prior year quarter.

     Other expenses decreased $145,000, driven  primarily by the decrease in 
interest expense of $122,000 compared to the prior year quarter.  This is due 
to the lower average note payable balance due to the bank. 
               
     The estimated effective income tax rate was 39 percent for both the current
and previous year period.
   
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flows provided by operations were $3,392,000 for the three month 
period ended September 30, 1996, this compared to cash flows used in 
operations of $2,456,000 in the prior year quarter.  This increase was
primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $2,720,000 for the
current quarter compared to an increase of $2,457,000 in the prior year
quarter.  An increase in inventory in the current quarter  of $1,439,000
partially offset this improvement.  Working capital decreased from $27,273,000
at June 30, 1996 to $26,512,000 at September 30, 1996.

     The Board of Directors of the Company had previously authorized the 
repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  During 
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 the remaining shares available under the 
program were exhausted.  On September 20, 1996 an additional 500,000 shares 
were authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors. No shares have been 
purchased as of September 30, 1996 under this new authorization.

     The Company has available unsecured lines of credit for $15,000,000  which 
expire on June 30, 1997.  At September 30, 1996, $12,220,000 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, 1997.
