STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES



UK company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each
financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the
group as at the end of the financial year and of the profit or loss of the
group for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors
are required to:


- -  select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;


- -  make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;


- -  state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed;


- -  prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is
   inappropriate to presume that the group will continue in business.


The directors are responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records, for
safeguarding the assets of the group and for taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE DIRECTORS OF



ELCOM INTERNATIONAL, INC.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prophet Group
Limited and subsidiary as at 30 April 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated
profit and loss accounts, reconciliation of movements in shareholders' funds and
consolidated cash flow statements for the years ended 30 April 1996, 1995 and
1994, all expressed in pounds sterling, which have been prepared under the
historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

As described on page 1 these financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's directors. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion,
based on our audits, on these financial statements and to report our opinion to
you.

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in the United Kingdom. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or
error. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosure in the financial statements. An audit also includes an
assessment of significant estimates made by the directors and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prophet Group
Limited and subsidiary as at 30 April 1996 and 30 April 1995 and the results of
their operations and cash flows for the three years ended 30 April 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom
(which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America - see note 17).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED 30 APRIL 1996, 1995 AND 1994


1.   BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom ("UK GAAP"),
     which differ in certain material respects from generally accepted
     accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") - see
     Note 17.

     The accompanying financial statements do not represent the UK statutory
     financial statements of the company. The statutory accounts for the year
     ended 30 April 1996, on which the auditors' report was unqualified and
     which did not contain statements under Sections 237(2) or (3) of the UK
     Companies Act, were delivered to the Register of Companies. The statutory
     accounts for each of the three years ended 30 April 1996 show dividends
     being paid. These dividends have since been repaid in full. Accordingly, in
     the accompanying financial statements, these dividends are not shown and
     Other debtors (Note 10) have been increased to reflect the amount
     repayable.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     The group's financial statements consolidate the financial statements of
     the company and its trading subsidiary, Portable Computers Limited, but
     exclude a dormant subsidiary, IT Mandate Limited, the investment in which
     was written off in 1995. The trading subsidiary's principal activity is
     computer dealership and consultancy.


2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable
     accounting standards. The particular accounting policies adopted are
     described below.

     ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

     The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

     TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

     Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets on cost or valuation
     in equal annual instalments over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
     The rates of depreciation are as follows:

     Freehold buildings                              2% per annum

     Fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment      20% per annum

     Motor vehicles                                  33.33% per annum


     STOCKS

     Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net
     realisable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs
     expected to be incurred on completion and disposal.

     LEASES AND HIRE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are
     capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful
     lives. The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the
     profit and loss account over the period of the contract and represents a
     constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.
     Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight
     line basis.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     PENSION COSTS

     The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and contributions
     payable for the year are charged to the profit and loss account as they are
     incurred.

     DEFERRED TAXATION

     Deferred taxation is provided at the anticipated tax rates on timing
     differences arising from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure
     in taxation computations, in periods different from those in which they are
     included in financial statements to the extent that is probable that a
     liability or asset will crystallise in the future.

     FOREIGN EXCHANGE

     Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at
     the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in
     foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the
     transaction. All differences on exchange are taken to the profit and loss
     account.


3.   TURNOVER

     Turnover represents amounts derived from the provision of goods and
     services in the United Kingdom which fall within the group's principal
     activity after deduction of trade discounts and value added tax.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED 30 APRIL 1996, 1995 AND 1994


17.    SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
       IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES

       The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
       accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP), which
       differ in certain respects from those generally accepted in the United
       States (US GAAP).

       The differences that are material to the group relate to the issue of
       share options to the directors of Portable Computers Limited as described
       below. The necessary adjustments are shown in the tables that follow:

       COMPENSATION EXPENSE

       Under UK GAAP, on the granting of share options, no amounts are normally
       attributed to employee remuneration. Under US GAAP, upon granting of
       share options to employees, the employer recognises as employee
       compensation the difference between the market value of the shares and
       the total amount the employees are required to pay.

<TABLE>
       The approximate effects of the differences between UK GAAP and US GAAP on net income,

OVERVIEW

On December 6, 1996 Elcom International, Inc. (the "Company") acquired Prophet
Group Limited ("Prophet Group") a corporation organized under the laws of the
United Kingdom. As consideration for the acquisition of the entire share capital
of Prophet Group, the Company paid (pound)5,000,000 (British pounds) to the
Prophet Group Shareholders. The Company also has agreed to make an additional
purchase price payment of up to (pound)3,000,000 (British pounds), depending on
the extent to which Prophet Group's pre-tax profits (as defined) for the fiscal
year ending April 30, 1997 exceed (pound)1,000,000 (British pounds). The first
(pound)2,000,000 (British pounds) of any such payment shall bear interest at the
base rate of National Westminster Bank PLC (6% as of December 6, 1996) from the
closing date until payment. For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined
financial statements management has used an aggregate estimated purchase price
of (pound)7,000,000 (British pounds). The transaction will be accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting.

The pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by the
Company's management based upon the financial statements of Prophet Group,
certain of which are included elsewhere herein, and the Company's financial
statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
presented herein are shown for illustrative purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of operations
of the Company, or of the financial position or results of operations of the
Company that would have actually occurred had the transaction been in effect as
of the date or for the periods presented. The Company's results included in the
pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1995 have been retroactively restated to reflect the February 29, 1996
acquisition of AMA (UK) Limited, which transaction has been accounted for under
the pooling of interests method of accounting. The pro forma condensed combined
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company's
reports on Form 8-K dated February 29, 1996 concerning the acquisition of AMA
(UK) Limited (including the audited financial statements of AMA (UK) Limited
filed therein), and the audited financial statements of Prophet Group contained
elsewhere herein.

The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 gives
effect to the transaction as though it had been consummated on that date. The
pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1995, and the nine-month interim period ended September 30, 1996
give effect to the transaction as though it had occurred at the beginning of the
earliest period presented. Prophet Group has historically presented its
financial results based on an April 30 fiscal year end. Accordingly, the pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 is based on the
Company's September 30, 1996 balance sheet and the October 31, 1996 (end of
fiscal second quarter) balance sheet of Prophet Group. In addition, the pro
forma condensed combined statement of operations for 1995 includes the Company's
calendar year results and the results of Prophet Group for the twelve month
period ended January 31, 1996, and the nine month interim pro forma condensed
combined statement of operations includes the Company's results for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and Prophet Group's results for the nine month
period ended October 31, 1996. Pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet generally account for the expenditure of cash
and purchase note payable incurred in connection with the acquisition, as well
as estimated goodwill and acquisition costs. Pro forma adjustments reflected in
the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations generally reflect the
amortization of estimated goodwill, interest expense relative to the purchase
note payable, and the tax benefit related to such interest expense. Certain pro
forma adjustments relative to U.K./U.S. GAAP differences and classifications
(balance sheet and statement of operations) were deemed to be immaterial and are
not reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

(A)   Represents the balance sheet of Prophet Group Limited as of October 31,
      1996, translated at the exchange rate of approximately 1.63 U.S. dollars
      per British pound.

(B)   The Pro Forma adjustments consist of:

      (a)   Reduction of cash relative to the cash portion of the purchase
            price;

      (b)   Recognition of acquired intangible assets, consisting primarily of
            goodwill;

      (c)   Recognition of estimated acquisition costs and estimated additional
            purchase price due; and

      (d)   Elimination of Prophet Group Limited Stockholders' Equity.

      The pro forma adjustments are translated at a rate of approximately 1.63
      U.S. dollars per British pound. The amount of intangible and other
      assets acquired is subject to revision upon completion of the Company's
      detailed analysis of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
      assumed in connection with the acquisition of Prophet Group. Management
      does not believe the impact of such potential revisions would be material
      to the balance sheet or statements of operations presented herein.
