NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
Interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
the periods.  The 1993 balance sheet has been derived from the audited
financial statements contained in the 1993 Annual Report to
Stockholders.  The current quarter has been restated as a result of
previously not including the results of a foreign subsidiary.  In
previous periods the results of this subsidiary were not significant. 
These interim financial statements conform with the requirements for
interim financial statements and consequently do not include all the
disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles.  Disclosures are updated where appropriate.  There are no
changes in contingency disclosures.  Pretax income for the first quarter
of 1994 includes foreign currency translation gains of $495,000 relating
to the Turkish subsidiary.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON REVIEW OF
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
AYDIN CORPORATION

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Aydin
Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 2, 1994, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three
month period ended April 2, 1994 as restated.  See note Financial
Statements regarding this restatement.  The condensed consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period ended
April 3, 1993 were reviewed by other accountants.  These condensed
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

Our review and that of the prior accountants was conducted in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in
scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, and that of the prior accountants, we are not
aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The consolidated balance sheet of Aydin Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein), were audited by other accountants in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.  In their
report dated February 25, 1994, they expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In their
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993 is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

(1)  Material Changes in Financial Condition (4/02/94 versus 12/31/93)

Cash of $7.0 million was provided by operating activities and was used
to pay off $6.5 million of short-term bank debt.  The major components
of the $7.0 million of cash provided by operations was:  (a) $2.5
million from net income plus depreciation and (b) $4.9 million of cash
provided from a decrease in accounts receivable because of cash
collected on an unusually large shipment on a U.S. Government contract
plus an excess of collections versus billings rendered a large contract
with the Government of Turkey.  Partially offsetting this positive cash
flow was an increase in accounts receivable of the Argentina subsidiary
because of increased volume.

Other significant components of the changes in cash flow included a $2.1
decrease in accrued liabilities because of $2 million of payments made
in connection with terms of a settlement with the Department of Justice
on the AN/GRC-222 microwave radio contract with the U.S. Army (see Note
K of the 12/31/93 Annual Report).  Offsetting this was a $2.1 million
increase in accrued and deferred income taxes because of tax liabilities
of the Argentina subsidiary.

Of the total of $24.0 million of cash and short-term investments at
April 2, 1994, approximately $17.8 million represents interest bearing
collateral required to be maintained against letters of credit for the
Turkish contract.

The Company at April 2, 1994 had short-term borrowing arrangements
available of $19 million, of which $15 million was used.  These
borrowing arrangements may be reduced if the Company has to increase
performance guarantees it issues in foreign countries.

Based on the present backlog and projected cash flows, the Company
anticipates financing its capital needs from internal sources and from
short-term borrowings in the foreseeable future. 

(2) Material Changes in Operations (First Quarter 1994 versus 1993)

Net sales declined by $3.5 million (9%) because of the increasingly
competitive U.S. Government defense business and delays in booking new
export business partially offset by increased sales at the Argentina
subsidiary.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 74.9% from 71.2%
primarily as a result of the more competitive U.S. Government defense
business environment and a more favorable sales mix in 1993.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses declined by $1.0
million (15%) because of cost reductions necessitated by the decreases
in sales and backlog and as a result of net foreign currency translation
gains of $495 thousand related to the Turkish subsidiary, partially
offset by increased SG&A at the Argentina subsidiary.

Research and development expenses decreased by $558 thousand (34%)
because of a slow down or completion during 1994 of several
Company-funded new product development projects.
