TRACOR

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1996

Note A -- Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial 
statements of Tracor, Inc. (Tracor or the Company) 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 
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered 
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating 
results for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.  For further 
information, refer to the Company's consolidated financial 
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1995.

Note B -- Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the quarter and six-month 
period ended June 30, 1996, is based on the expected annual rate 
for federal, state, and foreign income taxes.

Note C -- Income Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

Primary and fully diluted net income per share amounts for the 
quarter and the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 are 
computed in accordance with the treasury stock method using the 
weighted average common shares outstanding and equivalents 
assuming the exercise of all outstanding warrants and options 
for common shares.  The weighted average common and common 
equivalent shares used in this calculation were 23,591,000 for 
the quarter and 24,229,000 for the six-month period ended June 
30, 1996.  For the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 
1996, the primary and fully diluted net income per share 
calculations yielded the same amount.

Note D -- Acquisitions

  AEL Acquisition

On February 22, 1996, Tracor purchased all of the approximately 
4.1 million common shares of AEL Industries, Inc. (AEL).  AEL 
designs and manufactures sophisticated countermeasures, 
simulation, and radar-warning receiver systems; installs and 
integrates electronic avionics equipment in military and 
commercial aircraft; and provides state-of-the-art antenna, 
microwave, and integrated circuit components.

The purchase price, including acquisition expenses, was 
approximately $103 million.  AEL's long-term indebtedness prior 
to the acquisition totaled approximately $20 million, of which 
approximately $10 million was retired and approximately $10 
million was assumed by Tracor.  The financing for the 
transaction and related expenses was obtained through an 
increase of the Company's existing bank term credit facility and 
from cash on hand.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase 
method, and, accordingly, the purchase price ($103 million) and 
the liabilities assumed ($59 million) have been allocated to the 
assets acquired ($102 million) based on a preliminary estimate 
of their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.  
This preliminary estimate is subject to change based on 
finalization of certain fair value determinations.  Such fair 
value determinations are not expected to have a material effect 
on the consolidated financial position or results of operations 
of Tracor.  The resulting excess of the purchase price over the 
preliminary estimate of the fair value of the net assets 
acquired ($60 million) is being amortized over 30 years.

Subsequent to June 30, 1996, Tracor completed the sale of an AEL 
division and has closed, or is in the process of closing, the 
sale of three AEL properties, resulting in proceeds of 
approximately $18 million.  Approximately $10 million of 
long-term debt related to these properties will be retired with 
the proceeds. These assets are recorded as assets held for sale 
at June 30, 1996.

AEL's results of operations have been included in the Company's 
consolidated statements of income from February 22, 1996, the 
date of acquisition, through June 30, 1996.  The following net 
sales, net income, and net income per share are presented on a 
pro forma basis, assuming the acquisition had occurred on 
January 1, 1995 (in thousands, except per share data):
   
                                      Six-Month
                                    Period Ended
                                      June 30.
                                  --------------------
                                    1996        1995
                                    ----        ----									 
Net sales                         $513,272    $491,303
Net income                          10,173      13,378
Net income per share fully diluted     .43         .61

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the 
actual results of operations that would have occurred had the 
acquisition of AEL occurred on January 1, 1995, nor of future 
results.

  Westmark Acquisition

On June 13, 1996, Tracor concluded the acquisition of 
substantially all assets of Westmark Systems, Inc. (Westmark), 
which primarily consisted of Tracor stock and warrants and 
certain other real estate holdings. Westmark, the former parent 
company of Tracor, held all of Tracor's Class A stock (978,458 
shares), a Series B warrant to purchase 5,249,428 shares of 
Tracor common stock with an exercise price of $4.42 per share 
and a Series C warrant to purchase 5,455,000 shares of Tracor 
common stock with an exercise price of $7.36 per share. Under 
the agreement, which was approved by the shareholders of both 
companies on June 13, 1996, Tracor exchanged 8,267,435 shares of 
common stock for the assets.  Westmark liquidated concurrently 
with the closing by distributing the Tracor shares to its 
shareholders.  The agreement provided for a distribution of the 
Tracor shares through underwritten secondary offerings of a 
maximum of one-half of the shares during the first two years 
after the closing.  Accordingly, approximately 3.6 million 
shares were sold in a public offering concluded on July 11, 
1996.   See Note F.

Note E -- Long-term Debt

Concurrent with the AEL acquisition, Tracor amended and restated 
its existing credit agreement (Amended Credit Agreement) 
increasing the total credit available thereunder from $135 
million to $270 million.  The Amended Credit Agreement consists 
of a $180 million term loan facility, a $40 million revolving 
loan facility, and a $50 million letters of credit facility.  
Substantially all assets of Tracor and certain domestic, wholly 
owned subsidiaries are pledged or mortgaged under the Amended 
Credit Agreement, and all borrowings are guaranteed by such 
subsidiaries.

The term loans are comprised of an $80 million A Term Loan, a 
$50 million B Term Loan, and a $50 million C Term Loan. The A 
Term Loan facility is evidenced by promissory notes maturing 
October 31, 1999, and requiring quarterly principle payments of 
approximately $5.3 million.  The B Term Loan facility is 
evidenced by promissory notes maturing October 31, 2000, 
requiring quarterly payments of $133,333 through and including 
October 31, 1999, and quarterly payments of $12 million from 
January 31, 2000, through October 31, 2000.  The C Term Loan 
facility is evidenced by promissory notes maturing April 30, 
2001, requiring quarterly payments of $131,578 through October 
31, 2000, and two payments of $23,750,000 on January 31 and 
April 30, 2001.  The revolving loans facility is evidenced by 
promissory notes maturing December 31, 2000.  The letters of 
credit facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit 
with expiration dates generally 18 months or less from the date 
of issuance (automatically renewable unless a default exists at 
the expiration date) but in any event not later than December 
31, 2000.

The Company made scheduled payments of $5.3 million on the A 
Term Loan facility, $133,333 on the B Term Loan facility and 
$131,578 on the C Term Loan facility during the second quarter 
of 1996.  No borrowings were made from the Company's revolving 
loan facility during the quarter.

Certain mandatory prepayments are also required, including the 
prepayment of amounts equal to 100% of the net proceeds from any 
asset sales, subject to certain exceptions, and 50% of annual 
excess cash flow.  Such mandatory repayments are to be applied 
to equally and ratably prepay the A, B, and C Term Loans based 
on the relative principal amounts outstanding.

Term loans under the A Term Loan facility and the revolving 
loans bear interest at Tracor's option at either the lender's 
base rate plus 1 1/2% or the eurodollar rate plus 2 1/2%.  Loans 
under the B Term Loan facility bear interest at Tracor's option 
at either the lender's base rate plus 2% or the eurodollar rate 
plus 3%.  Loans under the C Term Loan facility bear interest at 
Tracor's option at either the lender's base rate plus 2 1/4% or 
the eurodollar rate plus 3 1/4%.  Interest on base rate loans is 
payable quarterly, and interest on eurodollar loans is payable 
at the end of the applicable interest period or every three 
months in the case of interest periods in excess of three 
months. A commitment fee of .5% per annum is charged on the 
unused revolving loans and letters of credit facility and is 
payable quarterly in arrears.  Each letter of credit bears a 
total fee of 2 3/8% per annum plus customary administrative 
charges.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding letters 
of credit totaling $38.2 million relating to commitments for 
performance on certain  contracts with foreign customers and as 
collateral on certain insurance policies.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants which, among 
other things, impose limitations and restrictions on the 
incurrence of additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, 
future mergers and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of 
dividends (limited to 30% of net income for the prior year), and 
changes in control, as defined.  In addition, Tracor is required 
to satisfy certain financial covenants and tests relating to, 
among other matters, interest coverage, working capital, 
leverage, and net worth.

Note F -- Subsequent Event

On July 11, 1996, Tracor concluded a public offering of 
6,567,272 shares of its common stock at a price of $17.50 per 
share.  Of the shares sold, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares 
and certain former shareholders of Westmark sold 3,567,272 
shares.  The net proceeds to the Company from the primary shares 
sold in the offering, approximately $48.4 million, will be used 
to retire a portion of its indebtedness under the Amended Credit 
Agreement or to complete an acquisition.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations

Business Environment

Approximately 88% of the products, systems, and services of 
Tracor, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Tracor or the Company) are 
sold to the U.S. government through direct contracts, primarily 
with agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), or 
through subcontracts with other U.S. government contractors.  
Beginning in the mid-1980s, the defense industry in general was 
negatively impacted by the perceived reduction of threats from 
the former Soviet Union and eastern European countries and, more 
recently, by competing demands upon the federal budget. While 
this has resulted in a U.S. defense budget that has decreased in 
real dollars, adjusted for inflation, over the last decade, it 
recently began to stabilize.  For the first time in many years, 
the total U.S. defense budget increased in 1996, excluding 
inflation. A major portion of the Company's DOD sales are 
funded by the operations and maintenance segment of the defense 
budget in areas which are among today's top DOD priorities.  
This segment has declined less than other segments of the budget 
as readiness priorities have emerged.  It is now the largest 
segment of the defense budget and is projected to comprise about 
one-third of the defense budget over the next decade.  The 
procurement portion of the budget is expected to experience a 
modest increase over this same time frame.  Tracor's ability to 
benefit from this upturn is enhanced by its acquisition of AEL.

The contraction of the defense budget in recent years and the 
attendant excess capacity and increase in competition for 
contracts among defense companies have resulted in a significant 
consolidation in the industry.  Principally through several 
acquisitions, the Company has substantially increased its 
revenue base and reduced combined overhead costs through staff 
reductions, facilities consolidations, process improvements, and 
the elimination of certain other duplicative costs.  These 
efficiencies and increased revenue base have enhanced Tracor's 
cost competitiveness in bidding on new contracts and recompetes 
of existing contracts.  Management is continuing to pursue its 
acquisition strategy and believes the continuing consolidation 
within the defense industry will result in opportunities to 
pursue additional selected acquisitions, both large and small, 
which should allow the Company to continue to expand its revenue 
base and further improve its cost-competitive position.

While the long-term impact of changes in the defense budget and 
the industry consolidation cannot be predicted with certainty, 
management believes the Company is well positioned to continue 
to leverage its strengths and successes in the U.S. defense and 
intelligence marketplaces and increase its ongoing 
diversification efforts into foreign defense markets, nondefense 
U.S. government markets, and selected commercial markets.

Financial Condition

Working capital was $150.7 million at June 30, 1996, up from 
$129.1 million at December 31, 1995, primarily due to the 
acquisition of AEL.  The ratio of current assets to current 
liabilities was 2.0 at June 30, 1996, compared to 2.3 at 
December 31, 1995.  Cash provided by operating activities during 
1996 decreased compared to 1995 due to accelerated contract 
deliveries and billings in the prior year and current year 
increases in program and spare parts inventories, payments to 
subcontractors, and funding of insurance programs.  Increased 
cash collections from AEL were partially offset by payments 
associated with consolidating operations with existing Tracor 
locations and payment of normal operating costs.  Cash from 
operating activities in 1995 also included a tax refund related 
to the preacquisition period of an acquired company.  Normal 
capital expenditures of $6.3 million and scheduled long-term 
debt payments of $8.2 million were incurred during the six-month 
period.  The proceeds of the Amended Credit Agreement and cash 
on hand were used to finance the acquisition of AEL, to retire 
approximately $10 million of debt assumed in the acquisition, 
and to pay approximately $5 million of financing costs.  Cash on 
hand was also used to complete two small acquisitions with an 
aggregate purchase price of $6.3 million and to pay $1.5 million 
of stock issuance costs associated with a public offering of 
Tracor common stock completed on July 11, 1996.

No borrowings were made from the Company's $40 million revolving 
loan facility during the quarter.  At June 30, 1996, the Company 
had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $38.2 million 
leaving $11.8 million available under its $50 million letter of 
credit facility.  If the $50 million letter of credit facility 
should become fully utilized, $20 million of the revolving loan 
facility, to the extent then available, can be used for issuance 
of additional letters of credit.  Existing letters of credit 
secure performance commitments on certain international 
contracts and serve as collateral for certain insurance 
policies.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had firm backlog, which includes 
funded and unfunded contractual commitments, of $953 million as 
compared to $924 million at December 31, 1995.  Approximately 
79% of firm backlog represents contracts with agencies of the 
U.S. government or its prime contractors, and about 78% is 
expected to be earned within one year.  In addition, the 
Company's backlog of unexercised contract options on U.S. 
government contracts was $992 million at June 30, 1996.

The Company's operations typically do not require large capital 
expenditures, and there were no material capital commitments at 
June 30, 1996.

Except for available amounts under the Amended Credit 
Agreement's revolving loan and letter of credit facilities, the 
Company's present debt position somewhat limits its ability to 
obtain substantial additional debt for operational purposes in 
the near future.  However, management believes existing cash, 
funds generated by continuing operations, and the Amended Credit 
Agreement will provide sufficient resources to allow the Company 
to meet its obligations, fund capital requirements, and continue 
to pursue its business strategy.  Management also believes it 
can obtain the necessary resources to pursue further 
acquisitions in the ongoing U.S. defense industry consolidation.

Results of Operations

Quarter and Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 1996, Versus Quarter 
and Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 1995

The results of operations for the quarter and six-month period 
ended June 30, 1996, include the operating results of AEL since the 
date of acquisition, February 22, 1996.  AEL's results are not 
included in the comparative prior periods of 1995.

Sales increased 23% for the quarter and 16% for the six-month 
period.  AEL operations comprised 11% of the increase for the 
quarter and 8% of the increase for the six-month period.  The 
remaining increases in sales for the quarter and the six-month 
period were due to additional sales of electronic 
countermeasures dispenser systems, sales of mine detection and neutralization 
systems, increased deliveries of shipboard imagery workstations, and 
increased sales on intelligence information systems.

Operating profits increased 29% for the quarter and 24% for the 
six-month period; 10% and 6% of the increases, respectively, 
were due to AEL operations.  Improved profits on electronic 
countermeasures dispenser systems, shipboard imagery workstations and 
intelligence information systems comprise the remainder of the increases.

Interest expense increased 47% for the quarter and 25% for the 
six-month period.  The increases are due to the additional 
senior term debt borrowed in conjunction with the acquisition of 
AEL and increased amortization of debt issuance costs.  The 
increase in interest expense for the six-month period is less 
than the increase for the quarter, primarily due to higher 
investment interest income during the first quarter of 1996.

The effective tax rate increased from 43% to 45% due to an 
increase in combined federal and state income tax rates.
