                      PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                  ASTROSYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


     The financial information herein is unaudited.  However, in
the opinion of management, such information reflects all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to a fair presentation of the results of operations for
the periods being reported.  Additionally, it should be noted 
that the accompanying condensed financial statements do not
purport to be complete disclosures in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

     The results of operations for the six months ended December
31, 1995 are not indicative of the results of operations for the full
fiscal year ending June 30, 1996.  Reference is made to Item 5 of Part
II hereof for a discussion of the approval in February 1996 of the
Registrant's Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution and the sale
by the Registrant during such month of its operating assets.

     The balance sheet as at June 30, 1995 was condensed from the
audited balance sheet in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. 
All other financial statements presented are unaudited.  These
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Registrant's financial statements for the year ended
June 30, 1995.

     The following pro forma unaudited liquidating balance sheet 
reflects the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as
if the Plan was approved and adopted on December 31, 1995 and carried
out through the estimated liquidation date of June 1999 including the
sale of the Company's operating divisions and subsidiary.  The pro 
forma unaudited liquidating balance sheet assumes no material value
for the Company's holdings of AstroPower, Inc. for which the Company's
carrying value at December 31, 1995 is zero.  In the opinion of
management of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly
such pro forma unaudited liquidating balance sheet have been made.

     The pro forma unaudited liquidating balance sheet should be read
in conjunction with the notes thereto and the Company's financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 1995.  The pro forma unaudited liquidating
balance sheet is not necessarily indicative of what the actual
financial position of the Company would have been had the transactions
contemplated in the Plan occurred at December 31, 1995, nor does it
purport to represent the future financial position of the Company.

    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
    _________________________________________________________

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Impact of Inflation
____________________________________________________

     The Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders approved
on February 2, 1996, a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of
the Company.  See "Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution"
below.

    The Company announced on October 23, 1992 a Board of Directors
authorization for the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of Common
Stock to be made from time to time through open market and privately
negotiated transactions.  Since that time, 408,727 shares have been
repurchased.  No repurchases were made during the six month period
ended December 31, 1995.

     Inflation has not materially impacted the operations of the
Company.

     On February 7, 1996 the Company sold all of its operating
divisions.

Results of Operations
_____________________

     The Company, under its liquidation plan (see "Plan of Complete
Liquidation and Dissolution" below), has sold all of its operating
assets as of February 7, 1996.

Comparison of six months ended December 31, 1995 vs six months
ended December 31, 1994
______________________________________________________________________

     Sales decreased from $5,225,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1994 to $3,617,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1995.  The decrease was due to reduced sales for the Military
Division, and in particular, the phaseout of a major production
contract for power supplies used on the Navy's advanced capability
ADCAP torpedo.

     Cost of Sales as a percentage of revenue for the six months
ended December 31, 1995 was 86% of revenue versus 74% for the prior
equivalent period.  Included in Cost of Sales are fixed expenses such
as rent; in addition, the Company's Government contracts and
subcontracts require certain fixed expenses such as quality assurance
personnel, which cannot be reduced in proportion to revenue.  

     Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the period
ended December 31, 1995 decreased from the prior period primarily due
to a charge included in the prior period for a non-cash item of
$175,000 for the extension of employee stock options as well as a
decrease in selling expenses for the current period.

     Investment income for the six months ended December 31, 1995
increased due to an increase in funds available for investment as well
as a higher percentage of funds being invested in higher yielding U.S.
Treasury obligations.

Comparison of three months ended December 31, 1995 vs three months
ended December 31, 1994
______________________________________________________________________


     The decrease in sales for the three months comparison as well
as the increase in Cost of Sales was due to the same reasons described
above.

     Selling, General and Administrative expenses of the period
ending December 31, 1995 decreased from the prior period primarily due
to the same reasons described above.

     Investment income for the three months ended December 31, 1995
increased primarily due to the same reasons described above.

Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution
____________________________________________

     The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a Plan of
Complete Liquidation and Dissolution for the Company (the "Plan")
which was approved by the stockholders on February 2, 1996.  Pursuant
to the Plan, the Company intends to sell such of its assets as are not
to be distributed in kind to its stockholders (see discussion below
with regard to the sale of the Company's operating units), to provide
for payment of all expenses, liabilities and obligations of the
Company and to liquidate via distributions to stockholders.

     Although the Board has not established a firm timetable for
distributions to stockholders,  the Board intends, subject to
exigencies inherent in winding up the Company's business, to make such
distributions as promptly as practicable.  The Company anticipates
making the first cash distribution in 1996.  The Board is, however,
currently unable to predict the precise amount of any distributions of
cash pursuant to the Plan.  The actual amount and timing of, and
record date for, all distributions will be determined by the Board of
Directors, in its sole discretion, and will depend in part upon the
Board's determination as to whether particular assets are to be
distributed in kind or otherwise disposed of, and the amounts deemed
necessary by the Board to pay or provide for all the Company's
liabilities and obligations.

     Pursuant to the Plan, the Company has consummated the sales of
its three operating units (Military Division, Behlman Electronics
subsidiary, and Industrial Automation Division) as of February 7,
1996.  The exact amount of the proceeds to the Company depends upon a
final fixed asset and inventory evaluation.  See Item 5 of Part II
hereof.

Item 5.  Other Information.
         __________________

          Effective February 6, 1996, pursuant to a certain Asset

Agreement") by and among Astrosystems, Inc. (the "Company"), Behlman

Company, Orbit International Corp. ("Orbit") and Cabot Court, Inc.
("Cabot"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orbit, the Company sold to
Cabot certain assets of its Defense Electronics Division and Behlman
sold to Cabot certain of its assets for an aggregate purchase price of
$3,706,700.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment based upon a
valuation of the transferred inventory and equipment as of the closing
date.  Pursuant to the Orbit Agreement, $1,000,000 of the purchase
price is being held in escrow to provide for indemnification claims
that Cabot may assert against the Company or Behlman thereunder.

Agreement of such date (the "North Atlantic Agreement") by and between
the Company and North Atlantic Instruments, Inc. ("North Atlantic"),
the Company sold to North Atlantic certain assets of its Industrial
Automation Division for a purchase price of $704,500.  The purchase
price is subject to adjustment based upon a valuation of the
transferred inventory and equipment as of the closing date.  Pursuant
to the North Atlantic Agreement, $100,000 of the purchase price is
being held in escrow pending a determination of the closing date
inventory and equipment amounts.

          The consummation of the Orbit Agreement and the North
Atlantic Agreement followed the February 2, 1996 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of the Company at which the stockholders approved the
Company's Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution 
as well as the sales described above.
