                 SIGNAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.     The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 1996,
       and for the  three  and six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  and 1995 are
       unaudited.   All  adjustments   (consisting   only  of  normal  recurring
       adjustments)  have been  made,  which in the  opinion of  management  are
       necessary  for a fair  presentation.  Results of  operations  for the six
       months ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results
       that may be achieved  for the full fiscal year or for any future  period.
       These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
       financial  statements  for the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  1995,
       included  in the  Company's  annual  report  on Form  10-K.  The year end
       condensed  balance  sheet data was  derived  from the  audited  financial
       statements and does not include all the disclosures required by generally
       accepted accounting principles.

       The Company's fiscal quarters consist of a thirteen week period ending on
       the  Saturday  closest  to June  30.  For ease of  presentation,  interim
       periods are designated to have ended on June 30.

2.     Income (loss) per share:
       Income (loss) per share has been computed  based on the weighted  average
       number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
       during each  period.  Common  stock  equivalents  are included in the per
       share calculations where the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive.
       Dilutive  common  stock  equivalents  consist of the  incremental  common
       shares  issuable upon  conversion of the stock options and warrants using
       the treasury stock method.

3.     Details of certain balance sheet accounts are as follows:

                                                     June 30,       December 31,

4.  Contingencies

The  Company  is  involved  from time to time in  litigation  incidental  to its
business.

The Company has been notified that its former  facility in the Town of Weymouth,
Massachusetts (the "Town") has been classified as a tier 1A disposal site by the
Massachusetts  Department of Environmental  Protection  ("DEP"),  as a result of
past releases of  petroleum-based  solvents.  Environmental  assessment  reports
prepared by independent  consultants  indicate that contaminants  present in the
Town well field  across the street  from the  Weymouth  facility  are similar to
those  reportedly  released at the facility and still present in the groundwater
at the facility;  however,  these reports also indicate that the contaminants do
not exceed  safe  drinking  water  levels in the  finished  water  after  normal
treatment.  Other contaminants which did not originate at the facility have also
been detected in the well field.

Although the Company  believes that the majority of the releases  occurred prior
to the  acquisition  of the  facility  in  1980,  as the  owner  at the time the
facility was  classified  as a tier 1A disposal  site,  the DEP has notified the
Company of its potential  responsibility for past releases at the facility.  The
Company is  continuing  to conduct  investigations  of the facility for soil and
groundwater  contamination and operate a pilot remediation system in cooperation
with the DEP.  It is not  possible at this stage of the  proceedings  to predict
what additional remediations, if any, will be required.

Management  believes  that the  outcome  of  current  litigation  and the matter
discussed  above  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on the cash  flow,
results of operations or financial condition of the Company

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

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Net sales of $27.4 million in the second quarter of 1996 increased $5.4 million,
or 25%, as compared to the second quarter of 1995.  Backlog  increased to $103.8
million at June 30, 1996,  on new order  activity of $28.6  million.  Backlog at
March 31, 1996 was $102.8  million  compared to backlog of $74.4 million at June
30, 1995 and $70.6 million at March 31, 1995.

The significant increase in net sales was attributable to increased shipments at
all five of the Company's production facilities.  This increase in shipments has
been fueled by strong  performance in booking new business and the record levels
of backlog  achieved in recent  quarters.  In addition,  several  programs  have
completed their initial development phase and are beginning full production.

Gross profit during the second quarter of 1996 increased $903 thousand or 21% as
compared to the second  quarter of 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage  of sales
dropped to 18.8% in the second  quarter of 1996 from 19.4% in the second quarter
of 1995.  The  decline in gross  profit as a  percentage  of sales is due to the
initial  development  costs  required on new  programs  prior to  entering  full
production.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased  $414 thousand in the
second  quarter  of 1996 as  compared  to the  second  quarter  of 1995 and as a
percentage of net sales, decreased from 18% in the 1995 period to 16% in 1996.

Spending on research and development  activities  decreased $130 thousand in the
second  quarter of 1996 as compared to the second  quarter of 1995. The decrease
signals the completion of Company-sponsored new product development and a return
to customer-funded development activities.

Interest  expense  increased in the second quarter of 1996 to $353 thousand from
$295  thousand  in the  second  quarter  of 1995  as a  result  of  both  higher
borrowings and interest rates. Average borrowings  outstanding during the second
quarter of 1996 were  approximately  $3.2 million  higher than in the comparable
1995 period due principally to the Company's business acquisitions in the second
half of 1995 and the need to finance  generally higher levels of working capital
to support the higher volume of sales.

Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Net sales in the first six  months  of 1996  were up $6.0  million,  or 14%,  as
compared to the first six months of 1995. Backlog increased to $103.8 million at
June 30, 1996, on new order activity of $60.6 million,  compared to a backlog of
$74.4 million at June 30, 1996 on new order  activity of $51.9  million.  Higher
shipment  levels  resulted from the higher level of new business booked over the
last four quarters.

Gross  profit  during the first six  months of 1996  increased  $1.1  million as
compared  to the first six months of 1995 and as a percent of sales,  was 19.5%,
compared  to 19.6% in 1995.  The  increase  in gross  profit  resulted  from the
increased sales flow.  However,  gross profit was adversely  affected by initial
development costs required on new programs prior to entering full production.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased  $253 thousand in the
first six  months of 1996 as  compared  to the first six months of 1995 but as a
percentage  of net  revenues,  decreased  from 19% in the 1995  period to 17% in
1996.


                                     Page 7
<PAGE>

Spending on research and development  activities  decreased $404 thousand in the
first half of 1996 as compared to the first half of 1995.  Spending decreased as
the Company has returned its focus to customer-funded development efforts.

Interest expense  increased in the first half of 1996 to $694 thousand from $536
thousand  in the first half of 1995 as a result of both  higher  borrowings  and
interest rates.  Average  borrowings  outstanding  during the first half of 1996
were approximately $3.1 million higher than in the comparable 1995 period.  This
was due  principally to the need to finance  generally  higher levels of working
capital and the Company's business acquisitions in the second half of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1996,  the Company had working  capital of $31.9 million as compared
to $30.7 million at December 31, 1995.  Net debt (bank  borrowings  less cash on
hand)  decreased to $15.8 million from $16.1 million at December 31, 1995.  Cash
flow  provided  by  operating  activities  during  the first six  months of 1996
totaled $758 thousand.  Increases in inventory of approximately $1.7 million and
decreases in customer advances of approximately  $1.6 million were financed with
trade payables.  Higher levels of inventory are required to support higher sales
levels.

In addition to the cash on hand of approximately  $1.4 million at June 30, 1996,
the company had  approximately  $1.8 million  available for borrowing  under its
bank revolving credit facility.  The company has no material commitments for any
acquisitions, product requirements or for capital expenditures at June 30, 1996.

The company  believes  it has  adequate  cash,  working  capital  and  available
financing  facilities  to meet its operating  and capital  requirements  for the
foreseeable future and to continue its acquisition program.
