                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)
                                    MARCH 31, 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 and nine month periods ended
March 31, 1996 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 March 31, 1996 the Company had unused
lines of credit aggregating $10,110,000.

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 fully
diluted net income per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were
$21,886,000, $855,000 and $.15, respectively, and for the nine months ended
March 31, 1995 were $63,513,000, $1,311,000 and $.23, 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 March 31, 1996 increased $3,418,000, or 18
percent compared to the same period in the prior year.  This increase is
primarily due to increased sales of commercial communications test equipment and
fiber optics test equipment.  Sales of government communications test equipment
were down $466,000 compared to the prior year period.

    Gross margin for the current quarter was 38 percent compared to 37 percent
for the previous year quarter.  This increase is related to the higher sales of
fiber optics test equipment and increased efficiencies.

    Total operating expenses as a percent of sales decreased four percent from
the prior year quarter.  Selling expenses decreased one percent as percent of
sales and engineering expenses decreased four percent as percent of sales from
the prior year quarter.  The decrease in engineering is related to 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
$500,000. Administrative expenses increased one percent as percent of sales
compared to the previous year quarter.

    The estimated effective income tax rate was 40 percent for the current year
quarter compared to 43 percent for the prior year quarter.

    Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 increased $8,366,000, or 14
percent compared to the same period of the prior year.  This increase is
primarily a result of higher sales of fiber optics test equipment and commercial
communications test equipment.  Sales to the U.S. Army were down $3,196,000
compared to the year earlier.  Sales of avionics, test and measurement (spectrum
analyzers) are all up compared to the prior year.

    Gross margins were unchanged at 37 percent for both periods.  Operating
expenses decreased as a percent of sales three percent compared to the previous
year.  Administrative expenses as a percent of sales remained unchanged.
Selling expense as a percent of sales decreased one percent compared to the
prior year period.  Engineering expenses as a percent of sales decreased 3
percent.  This decrease is related to the time and materials contract mentioned
earlier.


                                          8

<PAGE>

    For the nine month period of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, the effective
income tax rate was 40 percent and 42 percent, respectively.  The decrease in
the effective rate is due to an increase in the estimated annual pretax income
relative to the amount of nondeductible goodwill amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash flows provided by operations were $2,388,000 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $3,805,000 in the prior year period.  This
decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $3,424,000
for the nine months ended as compared to a decrease of $799,000 in the prior
year period.  The increase in accounts receivable is due to the higher sales
during the year.  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 $24,529,000 at March 31, 1996.

    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, 1996, 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 March 31, 1996, $10,110,000 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.
